Yes the 290 boss silver drop got nerfed to 70k, BUT, the silver dropped by mobs got increased to 200k, which makes it better than 170dg. So a full clear of 290 dungeon gives 270k silver per run. Even though not every class can clear 290 dungeon after patch but it’s definitely better to clear it full. Drop rate seems to be the same as before.
I hope you noticed the decrease of the upgrading cost of the 315 Orange weapons. I mean, i wasted all my Sarkmis potential before patch and i’m telling you upgrading my Sarkmis from +10 to +11 before patch used to cost 5,1M silver. After patch it costs 150k?? On Klaipeda server i have already seen +16 and +18 weapons in the first day of patch, the only trouble i find is getting Golden anvils to upgrade. You need to compare the “BEFORE” and “AFTER” when doing these upgrading cost comparisons, after patch upgrading is definitely cheap therefore the gap between players is much smaller.

Whether it’s better to tank and dps Solmiki 40F or mix CON/DEX it’s something i will have to test.
