So long, and thanks for all the fish

I think that the world drop issue will be a way to boost economy and exchange between players. You need SK parts for example and the loot table is also shared between 8 other epics...Then you will buy or trade for it.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in what I was saying what the issue is. Vaion chose to release the quests one at time rather than all at once. Therefore, the classes who get their quest released later will have lower chance to get their world drops.

To illustrate my point, let's assume the chance for an npc to drop global loot is 10% and each quest has exactly 14 items. For the cleric, before any other quests were released, that would have meant you'd get the items you wanted every 140 kills. If nothing changed by the time the 16th quest is released, the poor class who happens to be last will not only have to have waited all that time to start their quest, but they'd also need to kill 2240 npcs to get the same result as the cleric.

This would also be reflected in the economy, as the prices would inflate.

No matter which way you look at it, it's an unfair scenario. So the drop rates need to be adjusted as more quests are launched. I just wanted confirmation that this was planned, because the effect was already felt with the warrior epic (not to mention, the warrior needed multiple copies of global loot for the potion)

Yes the drop rates will be adjusted as more epics are released. The plan right now is to increase the rates every 4 quests that are released.

Cool, thanks for confirming. How is the wizard epic going?

[Vaion]

It's been done for awhile. It will be released after VT phase 1 is launched. Which will hopefully be very soon

Tease...

[Molok]

Just to get a little better understanding of the world drops. Are they on a table of their own? Do they affect other items someone might be farming and conflict with their loot table? Or is it like an added bonus to the mobs loot table as a whole?

Here's the original post on the global loot drops -http://www.thehiddenforest.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10741

it is added on to the drop table for that mob, doesn't replace any regular loot it may have.
