The portals from Fathom Crypt to Lake Louis and Sandstone Caves have been moved slightly.
Fixed broken appearance of Cyber armor.

Nerf. :/ sadface. Ha. Pretty sick area anyways. :)

[Junside]

I've yet to try it out. Time to start a new character?

[nazgulking]

Is it possible to add a purchasable vanity helm that looks like the sandstone cave onyx crown for enchantresses? I love it, but it substract 29 armour points to my pool. Ugh!

Someday, I'm going to get to play before the drop rates get scaled back. *pouts*

Ya this seriously angers me. Seems like every new frigging map gets a huge drop rate reduction shortly after its released. Giving players who have the most access to the game a chance to make more millions. Its really really really bothering me.

Lol. Tell me about it. Love the caves. Awesome as always devs.

[Arterra]

btw is it just me or does the boss map have lower drop rates than normal bosses?

[Fyrce]

Too bad today was a work day. Oh well.

I think your right i've not seen a single good item drop there both before and after the patch.

[Snakespeare]

Me either. Just bad luck.

[Roasty]

The SSC sound so interesting...too bad I don't have enough plat...big whoop! Well I better start saving free plat! ;)

I know! And for a level 20-25 map, this thing is seriously tough. I would call it a level 40-45 map, honestly.

i got a jewel thief crystaline wing after the nerf (considering this map is easy the nerf is quite good in fact.)

Keep in mind it's not a level 55 map.

Ok I've been thru at least 100 runs after drop rate switch ussually with a full party on the all boss lv. The only pinks that have dropped r the super crappy ones and it seems that earthquake drops nuthing but whites. Any chance this is a mess up and needs to be fixed? I know they need to be hard to get but 100 runs with mostly full parties and the only pinks r war hammer and lightning staff and way way to many of them. Just wanted to say something just in case its not spose to b like that

Are you running the Gauntlet? That mini-dungeon doesn't drop the Sandstone Specific Legendary drops like the story dungeons do.

[sticky420]

Ok so to add to my last foment that's 100 runs with almost always full parties but ill average it at 3. 5bosses per lv so 500 bosses killed times 3 people that's 1500 boss drops and not one pink other than the way over dropped hammer and lightning staff and not one pink from earthquake or onyx is that how its spies to be? R the good drops that rare??

[sticky420]

Ok thanks for the info that helps out alot though it was way to low a drop rate so maybe story line will b better

Not sure, but I've done maybe two dozen runs throught the whole thing and gotten 4 pinks. Two were lesser quality gem staff's one mid ranger wing and the last after patch was a onyx staff. One gem I gave away worth 8k, the other 30k, do not remember ranger value, and the onyx was fetching around 130k pluss. Still luck, but with a mixed level group I seemed to get better drops.

[SUPAPRODIGY]

new armor harder to get it was already crazy to get there super expensive already in CS make them easier to get because my level 55 mage gets booted saying noob i want my loot and all the level 20 to 25 get booted because all the experience players boot them even though it was design to them this is elite dungeon i believe design for level 40 and 45 thanks anyway love the new earth set have a nice day ;) BEASTROCITY level 25 twink

[superglut2]
