Anything is too high now. There are people calling 225k cheap! I never got passed 100k in my own life. I think just increasing the drop rate just a little bit will do just right.

The reason the low drop rate is to show you worked for it. Wether that means buying it or farming your bem off.

The helm doesn't drop much so it's value is increased, think of how much new electronics cost when there are "shortages" when they launch. If you can't find the item anywhere then you're much more likely to pay a crazy amount when you finally find one in stock.

Drops are random, just because you paid for 14 elixirs shouldn't guarantee you a legendary item. Statements like this make it sound like you think you should just be able to buy your way through the game. The game is already geared towards plat purchases making your life easier (buffed stats, easy crafting, mageless revives) now you expect a glyph drop simply because you bought elixirs?! It's not practical to expect something extra on top of what you paid for, I know that STS is trying to cater to everyone but asking for a free glyph item simply because you purchased elixirs is too much. You got 2 "good" drops in 14 elixirs plus all the experience, kills, and gold that came from those high powered runs.

Like stated before buying elixer doesnt mean u get a pink drop. And not trying to rude but 10 4x isnt that many. I see at least 2 glyph drop a day and had 10 my self. Seems like you may need to grind harder

It's how it goes. Remember that these items are designed to be rare, elusive and expensive.

Easy guys - we all can understand the frustration of not dropping a single valuable item for ages despite playing hard and grinding through the maps with pots or no pots. It can be frustrating but ultimately, this is also the precise reason we play. We play for that moment when your screen illuminates with pink and when you scan quickly to check the word GLYPH is there ! When it's there, it's like magic ! you scan again to confirm you did not dream and then when you recover your breatth you stop playing for a sec, check your inventory, go to CS to check prices if this is not something you wanted for your toon, check the price of the stuff you want, etc. You get excited because they are rare. rare = low drop rate.

Keep getting frustrated. At some point, that GLYPH word is going to appear.

I guess if you wanted to complain it would be me.
56-60, no glyph. Just 35 crappy pinks.
Then one Glyph Charmin Hood.
Then 10 more crappy pinks.
Then yesterday, everyone in my farming party got a Glyph except me.
Seen over 50 glyphs drop, gotten 1, seen over 300 crappy pinks drop, got 45 of them.
I record EVERY single pink drop in Nuri from 56-60.
I can prove that I did much more farming and had very little luck.
It is ironic how people who farm a lot never get anything good but people who do occasional runs get a lot.

I think the drop rates for glyph are almost equivalent to balefort sewers. That and it''s all based on luck. I think its better that they drop less; it keeps them rare and you feel a little satisfaction when one does drop. :D

09-24-2011, 06:57 PM
Drop rate here is great compared to sewers, atleast for me. From the time sewers came out till nuris lvl cap I got 8 pinks total. So that's like what 7 months of farming 3-4 hrs a day and got nothing but cheap pinks. My luck there was horrible. Nuris came out I got 4 glyph in 2 days. So to me nuris drop rate is better, either that or my luck is.

pastrychef
09-24-2011, 08:13 PM
Drop rate seems fine. Increase it and the value of current gear will drop. It wouldn't be fair to devalue the gear that people have purchased so far.

Those who complain prices are too high don't have a grasp for the concept of supply and demand. Some will refuse to pay current prices, choosing to continue playing with inferior equipment instead. They may end up paying less for a glyph set later, but, in the meantime, they may die more and/or kill less due to their desire to save a bit. It's a judgement call on whether improving your character justifies spending a little more today vs keeping inferior gear on your character to save a bit.

It's meant to be low, IMO.

Look at it this way, yes buying them is costly, but selling them is very profitable as well.

Gluttony's argument is right, you shouldn't base your luck on how many elixirs you use, especially since drop rates are totally random and luck-based. If you continue using that argument, the game could also require you to use elixirs to even get a chance for glyph items, right?

Well, to be fair, basing your luck on elixirs isn't COMPLETELY wrong since elixirs include increase in luck? :)

I don't think it increases your luck, all it does is give you a chance to re-roll.

Technically, yes. But given the low drop rate and the additional chance of that luck elixir working, it should be very insignificant. Personally, in my roughly 40 hours of 4X elixirs in Nuri's, not once have I re-rolled to a glyph.

I understand you may find it unfair but I have a little motivation and discouragement for you.
For motivation, my in-game friend got cloth and hood in one drop. (Says her.)
For discouragement, my IRL friend got cloth his first hour of farming. (I'm not 100% sure if he farmed it or bought it but I've seen it on his char ingame and irl so idk. He might have bought it but I don't think so because he was kinda poor when he "farmed it".

I went from 60-61 100,000 exp and did not win one?
i would say that is more then rare,I still had fun but thats alot of games and only saw one drop and the guy got it walking in the room w/o so much as lifting a finger,He laughed and left?
so is life.

Much rarer trash pinks now.

The elixers hardly increase your luck. I think if you are willing to spend real money for the game, the chance if getting a good pink should be like 1:10 chance.

Luck elixirs are misunderstood to meaning direct increase in drop rate for pinks, which it isn't.

Using elixirs already gives you an advantage in getting more pinks indirectly.

Elixir usage = faster runs = more chances for a pink.

I keep reading this and don't understand why players believe it, luck elixir doesn't actually increase your luck of getting a pink. They give a percentage of a change to get a re-roll, the re-roll if successful will grant the player better loot. For instance a green may change to a purple or purple to pink, but the elixir itself doesn't increase the chances or rarity of drops alone. At least that is how I understand it, if someone has a better (more accurate) explanation be my guest.

max a bit lower than trash pinks. but yeah, i c drop a lot and got like 6-8 (normally would get as much trash pinks in same time) since yesterday and a glpyh recipe. but rarley saw a glyph item drop...

You don't need to wear glyph to get to 61, stop whining seriously anyone who complains. If your skills are good, you can go through nuri using sewer gear. Same for sewers, no need for elite pinks. Common orange more than adequate. Also for those who think glyph are rediculouely priced, no one will be able to sell them at the current price if they weren't selling! No luck learn to merch.

Hi! The chances of getting glyph is lot lower. I think that op said he used 10 elixrs and got one glyph bp. That actually is awesome. He's very lucky. Cuz, not too many players gonna get a glyph every 10 hours of play. You'd have a set in 1 - 3 days. That not gonna happen too often.

I think he is just frustrated cuz it does take a while, sometimes long while to get what your hoping to get. Some say it takes a lot of work. I don't look at it as work. It is more that it takes a lot if hours of fun to get the gear you want.

Anyways, I hope op's luck continues to be good and he gets the gear he is dreaming of.

Edit: Nobody is whining. Sometimes players feel frustrated cuz they wish they could get better gear faster.

Mmo's create a culture where just 'bout everyone wants the best gear possible. Lots of reasons for that. One reason, is great gear can make a diff in game play. Read what Pastrychef said earlier in this thread.

Another reason: a lot of times players who think "there all that" look down on players who are, for w/e reason, wearing junk and get all judgemental. Unfortuneately, many players judge other players by the gear they are wearing. Lots of players brag about actually booting players who aren't wearing "good enough" gear.

There are many, many other reasons why great gear is dreamed of by so many.

Even tho, you are "whining and complaining" about the "whining and complaining", I agree with a lot of what your saying. A player doesn't have to have the absolute best gear to get thru a campaign, any campaign. That's kinda obvious -- cuz the absolute best is rare. So, if only those with the best gear could succeed, then only a few would finish the game. That would be awful. Obviously, a mmo is not designed like that.

Famous quote: luck favors the prepared mind.

I'm not sure if you guys knew this, and sorry if this comes off rude, but farming is supposed to be HARD. That's why you have to do many, many runs to get the items. (Not advertising) You know how long me and my old guildies from WoW would farm? Weeks. Weeks of farming to get an item. And it usually was only one person. Not to be messed up but SOME people in PL don't know what real farming is. It's difficult. It's actually really easy in PL.

Oh. Well then I don't want one. I'm not into buying my way through the game. In all honesty, I love farming. Lmao.

Oh... I used to be that way... but now... I just want gear so I can PvP. The level cap raise is just annoying; makes me go grind.

Well unless I have missed a thread stating so, I would think the level cap will raise eventually. I think it should raise to 80 or so. At least 70.

Dude, I never said OP is whining. I said Anyone whining should stop so I'm also with you on this. I wear crap gear not because i can't afford the best, but because I don't think I want to spend that much. If I get good gear I just sell it lol


Op isn't whining. He just expressing his frustration cuz he wishes he could get better gear faster.

Mmo's create a culture where just 'bout everyone wants the best gear possible. Lots of reasons for that. One reason, is great gear can make a diff in game play. Read what Pastrychef said earlier in this thread.

Another reason: a lot of times players who think "there all that" look down on players who are, for w/e reason, wearing junk and get all judgemental. Unfortuneately, many players judge other players by the gear they are wearing. Lots of players brag about actually booting players who aren't wearing "good enough" gear.

There are many, many other reasons why great gear is dreamed of by so many.

Even tho, you are "whining and complaining" about the "whining and complaining", I agree with a lot of what your saying. A player doesn't have to have the absolute best gear to get thru a campaign, any campaign. That's kinda obvious -- cuz the absolute best is rare. So, if only those with the best gear could succeed, then only a few would finish the game. That would be awful. Obviously, a mmo is not designed like that.

I use that line on every beggar who approaches me in game - "what are YOU giving me in exchange?" I don't mind supporting PYTs..

Things must have changed for you. I saw you had a couple Glyph Armor OBEs for sale on CS.

You're right. I didn't read your post carefully enough. So I edited my post a bit.

I don't see any need to change the drop rates. The op had a bit of good luck in fact. Sometimes, if people don't have tons and tons of farming experience they may not realize how long it can take and the randomness of it all.

I'm with you on this. Its human nature to want to be different, to have exclusivity. Making the best gear rare rewards those who work really hard in game. Somehow I think f the reverse is true, ie glyph drops are a dime a dozen, you get even more unhappy ppl.

So you got some Glyph OBEs? Very good!

Why does your level even matter? Ive gone from level 54-58 at nuris and have nothing to show for it except stuff i bought..

Same here... I consider it the same as pounding sand, so i don't even try. I put a limited amount of time into the game, since its pretty hopeless to think i could farm a full set of glyph.

I could play 24/7 for a month to get a glyph set, or I can do other things. I choose to do other things.

They secretly changed the drop rates for everything but glyph items in a patch. The glyph items were not changed and are still the same rate which is probably around as rare as good sewer pinks. don't worry though prices will drop a lot when people farm more. The price will also change really low when a new higher level map comes out. You still get experience points unless you disable or you are already level 61. Actually that is good luck. Elixirs are proven to not boost luck by much at all and me myself along with many others have not ever gotten a glyph pink or successfully sold a new pink that is actually worth something. So that proves that YOU ARE LUCKY!

I like the feeling of working my butt off for a great item and end up getting a/the great item by farming. Even if buying the item you want, it's still a great source of the wonderful taste known as satisfaction. :)

Yeah, I especially love when I do over 100 runs and get no glyph. Then I see someone get two glyphs back to back on successive runs.

Congrats Applemartinii. I'm totally jealous. I hate you. j/k. I never have had that kind of luck in game.
