The Hidden Forest

Seems to me that these should be lore, as they are not dropped frequently and the final combine is lore. On the other hand could make final word of Rallos non-lore

For the purpose of simplicity, I agree. I don't think the final combine should be non lore as it's an exceptional Aug. That said, I wouldn't say no to the drop rates being 100%. The level of effort required just to beat the encounter once is huge (it's only t6 yet only 11 guilds have completed it, only one in the last year and a half) and even once you can complete it with a low chance of failure, it still takes a significant amount of time and effort to do.

Wow, only one in the last year and a half... really? Is that us (AHAF) by chance? That surprises me because I'm pretty positive I've seen multiple messages in the last year and a half.

Tryed going after Rallos myself, as i loved that PoTactics on live. but the bane process is just too painfull . after days i got named , the princess to pop and she didn't drop an essence

the bane requirement isn't an issue, just the time it take to make just one, and then you need 20 more, by then you're past that tier.

Yeah, it's one of those things that's not worth doing until you outgear the tier... then come back and facepalm the trash until you get the bane weapons in order to get the aug.

I can't tell you the last time I saw the defeat message, and even then, I remember thinking to myself, damn, I haven't seen that kill in a while.

Fair enough... I've been on and off for the last 3-4 months but before that I remember seeing it a few times at least. No way I can remember over 1.5 years ago so it was definitely at some point this year.

Killed them a lot during the past year, but hasnt been the case in the past few months. Reward is cool (sharpener and aug) but it takes a while to clean everything for just a chance to get nice stuff.

I was saying first completion, not just killing it. I checked again and I got mixed up between Zek and a t8 zone when I said only one in a year and a half. Having checked the progression again it's been 4 this year. But only 12 in total. More have completed dsk and Nadox than Zek.

My point was to beat the zone demands a ton of effort to do once, and to repeat it still demands high numbers. It's not like other zones where you can return to later and single group with your t8 gear. It's difficulty is unique in that respect. Similar augs are obtainable with a single group and much less effort - a good example is the icon of the queen.

Now we've completed Zek, which took a long time to do, it's easier but it requires numbers to do it. The Aug is the only item left that's worth doing it for but needing to statistically do it twice for one Aug is a bit steep.

So Yeh, I agree it should be lore to make things easier to manage but I think the effort to do it warrants the Aug drop rate to be increased, if only because the time taken to get most signature augs in the same bracket take far less time.

Something changed in the Rallos Event...pets hit less hard, rods ... donno, but I've been doing this event once a day for weeks and all of a sudden...10 attempts and no success over two days. Some attempts went perfectly too, didn't lose a single pet. Every character has banes, all pets of staves...etc.


Wish the developers would let us in and what changed...
