In PL, endgame sets were dropped from bosses in NORMAL maps and those sets kept a relatively high price in auction. Partly because the drop rate was low.

My suggestion would be to let the Legendary sets drop from their respective bosses in NORMAL lvls (low enough drop rate to make running the lvls profitable), but let the sets competitive with Mythic (Arcane shouldn't be competed against lol) be loot-able only in Elite lvls.

Just my opinion

Candy is right. The loot table in elite tindirin needs to be updated plain and simple. These gears were outdated nearly as soon as they released. Just adding things to the tooth vendor is not sufficient. We should be farming gears. That's the way it's been up until now. Teeth are like the compensory busy work. The pink drops, chance at egg and chests are what draw ppl to farm elites. Until the pinks are addressed we will continue to circle the drain.

Edit... and with the impending release of yet another set of legendary gears from the upcoming new content, it will get worse before it gets better :/

[obee]

Yea it seems like there won't be an update for a while

[Kakashis]

You could play lots of PVP, spend thousands of plats on events/crates and end up going solo elite runs as I once did in another guild... or you can join ER and forever change the way you play the game by actually playing the content the way it was meant to be played. I don't think I've ever complained that there's no runs since I've joined.

[GoodSyntax]

Hey, as much as I would like to suggest you join Elite Runners, I will say that anytime you need a run, just ask me and I'll get a party together and we can farm anywhere you want.

As much as I would like better loot that is actually valuable and may actually sell without 3 relistings, I just enjoy running elites. I run solo, duo, trio or full party - doesn't matter much to me.

Send me a shout out anytime you need a run and I'll be there for you!

Yeah, I was never a huge fan of elite dungeons at all. I always thought it kind of a strange way to structure a game. And yes, in PL the old gear from previous campaigns was not discontinued, but still holds high prices. I was online in PL a few days ago for the first time in months and a level 55 fortified set was selling for almost 2m. But you could probably run the sewers maps a thousand times and never see that shield drop from a boss. The drops in PL are actually rare, and unless you run with 100% luck elixir, your chances of getting a legendary drop are almost nothing. And that was the main complaint with PL, that you needed elixirs to get good drops.

Even still, I think that was better than the locked crate system in AL. The problem in PL is that there were no elixir kits and players who had no plat could not buy them, so they would become discouraged and quit. If they were to get rid of locked crates and instead let all gear drop from bosses, but sell elixir kits of various luck percentages all the way up to 25 plat for a 85% luck elixir (combined with lep = 100%), then I think they would still make a ton of plat sales, but it would make the game much more fun. There would be no need for elite dungeons either, just make the regular dungeons a bit harder. Perfect balance would be having mobs that are somewhere in between the difficulty of regular mobs and elite mobs, but bosses should be hard like the elite bosses. That is about how it was in PL, and it worked well and made the game fun. A patient player could clear all the mobs and then call for help defeating the boss.

Elite has been relatively death for a while. As long as STS keeps focussing on energy events and rare items from locked crates, I don't see this changing anytime soon.

Personally, I've kind of moved on to other games because there's just nothing to do for an end game farmer.

Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for.

Pretty much the same here. Been playing some older rpg games on my phone's emulators.

I still log into AL everyday. Do a few story quests. Check if any friends are on (rarely see ANYONE on). Look at AH for a moment.

Problem is, I have a stash of items that go up in value everyday.Why bother farming for worthless gear? I already have everything I need to clear maps. I could choose to purchase the new mythic gun, but what's the point? I thought the elite maps were fine the first days BEFORE the nerfs to the maps. What use do I have for new gear if there is no new difficult maps to use it in? I'd rather have gold in hand in case I spot something to merch, rather than buy an unneeded weapon that will just sit in my inventory.

Here's hoping for those new tombs to be fun...

I just dont even know what to say anymore to these suggestions. Lets do away w elites, forget crates and run around w 100% luck in reg dungeons w hard bosses like pl cuz that was fun...
Whos playing pl? This is a thread about al elite maps being slow because theres nothing worth farming. The obvious fix would be adjust the loot dropping in elites to simply be relevant to the content meaning the loot that drops there should be the best. Its so simple.

I don't think we want to go down the same road that put a nail in PLs coffin. Requiring 100% elixir to loot anything worthwhile is not going to fix anything.

I was never a big fan of kits when first released as all they've managed to do is devalue drops faster. Increasing luck rate but reducing drop rate just means we spend more for less. And if we don't spend then we SOL.

I'd rather go with your old suggestion of selling unlocked crates than eliminating crates all together.

Or making the best gears farmable but locked behind pay walls that can be entered for plat or kit. 10-15 plat to run an elite map for a chance at a myth/arcane drop sounds more fun than opening a crate and seeing 2k 2k 2k, or worse. Riposte riposte riposte...

[Bunny♥]

I would agree that there should be new items from the teeth vendor. Elite maps needs to be active and should have better loots as not everyone pop out crates every minute of their life, thats totally crazy.

It'll be my honour that I ever duo with you in oltgar elite

[Jurmans]

I would advice running with kalizzaa if ur a tank u can easily complete elite jagged trail (have no further experiences running only with her).

[Neutrone]

Ah we at Immaculate are usually doing elite Tindrin but I haven't been able to run lately so if your online and available I can fix you into one of the parties, everyone is really good and extremely experienced

[Neutrone]

And I wouldn't mind dragonbone blades of brutality...even so I don't think they'll be better than magmatic blades of Brutality because even the current dragonbone blades of tactics arent that good in stats compared to magmatic blades of tactics.

So what should be done is make a better version (like dragonbone blades of brutality/potency) but have its stats better than magmatic blades and make it worth more drakin teeth.
