Drop rate sorta based off of the loop of kelethin with a 3% chance at the bottom of the loot table makes it pretty rare so 1-2% might be like non existant but still a chance at something rewarding for your time.


I like this idea, a way for those folks who don't particularly like repeating dungeons to get a chance to earn some LDON credits besides grinding LDONs. This would be handy since once you hit fear LDONs are currently mandatory to complete the armor quests.

Oh no, not the VT key quest LOL... those shards were a huge PIA... how about tying up this key quest with LDoN hard? Make the VT shards drop from LDoN hard missions. This would force people to group up (LDoN normal is soloable and therefore too easy to farm). VT can then be a 1 groupable zone (we need more group-based content). Bosses should then be a bit harder than LDoN hard named, and should then also drop no-trade LDoN tokens which are worth 100-150 points (depending on difficulty). The custom lore/story on VT can then be associated with LDoN NPCs.

Gotta throw a bone to people who don't like to raid or doesn't belong to a raiding guild.

I kinda disagree.. if you put LDoN tokens in the custom raid zones, this lets us shoot too many birds with one stone. If you want LDoN rewards, you have to do LDoN zones or LDoN related quests (as suggested on my post above)... if you want raid-based rewards, you go to ToV, ST, PoAir, etc. Lillu and the dev team put in a lot of time customizing LDoN, we don't want the rewards to be too convenient to get.

LDoN rewards are suppose to be group-based time sink... right now, there really is no incentive for non-raiding players to group up and do LDoN hard, because they can do LDoN normal solo (w/ bot) and get points faster.
