Hey @SlyGoat what is your class path on your farming corsair? hop3? or sw3?
Hop2. When the rebalance hits Iāll probably reroll Sw3.
@STAFF_Yuri weāve recollected drop rate data since the update, and it still seems to be worse than before any DPK change.
The reason we wanted a change was to reduce the absurd amount of time it requires to see even 1 drop. Not to make it worse, not only it can drop at really high kill numbers now, but it also makes it impossible to try to bring a Thauma to double the drop because of the unpredictiveness.

I am going to speculate the reason drop rates were changed is because they announced a new level of equipment which builds off the current tier. Since we are months behind they did it preemptively on purpose that way people do not get ahead. Then they just go and play it off as usual acting like nothing happened at all or is a problem.
There has to be a reason other than āit buggedā in between patches because editting a value should take seconds.

After 150 Maidens hitting me for 2k each hit, perma freezing me and not dropping not even a single Dawn crystal I give up.
Farming is not fun at all and the major reason for me is the lack of mobs on the map. If you spend 80% walking from spot to spot then there is something really wrong.

before they readjust the DPK-system again,they should just double or triple the amount of monsters on the map.
Seriously, thereās only like 1 Mauros per channel in the level 240 Hunting Grounds, howāre you supposed to drop that freakin Keyarc Leather Armor?
Thatās even worse than farming Battle Bracelets <_<

Fact. Theyāve gotten extremely lazy with map design and mob placement.
I think this has been a big issue from the begging. Why mobs spawns in group always in the same spot? This make grinding way more bored, for example in alemeth is super notorious. As you said the spawn rate should be high, instant and totally random if you consider there is classes can clean a group of 50 monsters. If the spawn rate were that good, you can simply make every drop rng.

Maybe those elite monsters will make it a bit more interesting as they most of the time spawn about 10 monsters around them. And you can find a few of them around the map, not sure how often they spawn thoā¦ (Not saying thatās enough tho. :x)
Day 2
Nothing. Has anyone dropped a Lyoni Horn today?
edit: decided to push onward and got it at +360 (I reset my counter) RNGesus hates me
More likely the first reason. Its noticable at some systems that the devs from the early Ragnarok created the game. In 15 years they havent improved themselves much and their games have the same problems in performance and security. Well, no. ToS has more problems.
Iāve noticed quite the opposite these last few weeks, DPK is a joke now, not only they nerfed mobs but also increased the dpk. Before it was fixed 550-650 and got 1 mat, the other day I got 3 Kugheri Zabbiās Mask in less than 30 minutes, soloing, because itās as easy like killing hannamings now. On the other hand, also depends on the mat/mob, Kugheriās horns seems to remain the same as before, around 600 dpk, tested the other day.
Bottom line, I think itās unfair for the bunch of us who really farmed theses mats the hard way, heck, nabuās undamaged tails were sold for 4kk back then, today you can even get these mats from the daily event. Thereās not much merit in crafting an orange 315 weapon now, and that, for me, kills part of the game.
same here, 600 kills and no drop for me :((
actually 1400 and no drop lol
Can I ask how many Lyoniās youāve killed and how many horns you got overall (itās on the journal)?
Crap, thatās nasty. Did you do it without breaks? When I reach 700ish, it kinda feels like going out to see the dawn but fearing the Sun will never rise because Iāve beein waiting forever thinking āit should be here by nowā D:
I just found few more question could add up to upcoming blog, I was about to ask more about thoseā¦ but since theyāre much occupied now, maybe I have to delay a slight more but Iām going to add up some more lines.

Translation:
DPK discussions that have been circulating in the community should be getting some answers and clarity in an upcoming blog post.
Thank you! Also, UI for the Journal makes it easier to see your accumulated drops nowāwhich is very useful-- so we might be able to notice more statistic discrepancies in the drop rates.
Also, will silver mobs for 315 matts ever drop dpk matts? From what Iāve experienced, silver drops 1 dawn frags and 3 for golden red dawn maiden-- why doesnāt that carry over to newer maps?
I just want to askā¦but Iām afraid to askā¦
āDoes it have a limit on the specific item drop?ā
Last 2 months my friend told me that it easy to farm phada now. I said Really:grin:, I just need to level up this alts so I can farm it and when I have the right level to farm it doesnāt dropā¦kill more still not single drop
I know its absurdā¦I just donāt want to believe it nor I donāt believe it (it make me wanna throw my PC out of the window)
Iām just to tired to kill 800 moreā¦Please GM give us a hint or an info on how drop rate scaling was implemented.
Thank you
