Drop Rate

[Rawrimafish]

Do you think the SL and PL drop rates should be higher?

[Ardon]

For what items?

[ninjaduck]

Farming is powered by Persistance and Motivation, increasing drop rates would make them too cheap, and the motovation would vanish.

[festre]

Definitely! The drop rate really sux @ the moment. In a 3 week period, I only saw 2 group trash pinks drop.

My motivation is vanishing as we speak.....sigh. :(

There is a point where difficulty vs reward can be demotivational.

Well I put in 24 hours of farming for vanities THIS weekend alone and I got nothing. That is just a bit ridiculous. The worthlss drops arent even covering my stim consumption. And during those 24 hours I got something like 800-900 drops. I've been grinding numa one specifically and I have gotten about 13 green drops out of the lot 7 of which were scavengers rifles one scrapper and 4 crafting mats. I've spoken with many friends who've never seen a green drop and they have 200k+ kills or tried grinding it for a month and still got nothing.

At this point I have more faith in santa claus.

Nah most new players cant afford them when they reach the cap as they are now.

Maybe if they had mobs drop gray and white trash, and the boss drops were all decent

Then you need another source of motivation. For example: people telling you they recently got a pink, or "that" map drops more pinks than the "other" one.

Absolutely and 100% YES. The economy is getting out of control. 3mil+ for a longbow? What will happen with Humania? The items are getting so high only merchants can get the "good" sets. It's also practically impossible to get a pink. If the drop rates don't increase in the next few updates, one item will cost a whole money cap (9mil). It doesn't make sense to me.

Become a merchant :cool:

[Aculeas]

hard to merch unless you have a vast amount of capitol to begin with.

[StompArtist]

Not all players enjoy becoming a merchant. I can see the point on both sides of the argument and am at a lost on how to satisfy both styles of players... Perhaps adding these items for plat: but that would likely be very unpopular with the big merchants.

[Mothwing]

I do not and will never merch again. Lost tons of money in that venue.

[Rawrimafish]

I have skull scorn n nova im sellin

OMG yes! This has got to be fixed somewhat! I'm a merchant with about 500k gold and I can't even get some of the good stuff. :P

[Elyseon]

I remember 50 cap, most expensive item in cs was vyx helm at like 400k lol

[Hexor]

Sts needs to make drop rates slightly higher for vanity I been grinding for weeks and havnt found nothing higher then greens. Ive lost all hope for vanity drops at the moment. Please devs consider a solution people are going crazy over this topic!!!

[Rawrimafish]

Woohoo!
Crazy over this topic lol

[RedRyder]

Then that would explain how santa calus can travel all across the globe in one night and why he is so fat. He never has to go anywhere.

what if santa got so fat he couldn't make the trip anymore so he went to mt fang town, got bit by vlod and turned into a vampire and became the fat boss on the second floor?

dangit i knew i should have left out more milk and cookies , next time fore sure.

On a serious note, I think drop rates are just fine. I started mt fang with 1.8 million gold, earned enough to buy both the crafted helm, xbow, longbow, and leather and have 2.4 million gold right now. You just have to grind and keep playing when the pinks start dropping (they seem to come in cycles). I've made about 2.3 million in the last month since I reached 66 and it was all mainly from 3 drops (2 orlok shields and a lilith wand). If you grind for an hour a day you can make tons of money.

[StompArtist]

This is Star Legends, right?

[Ardon]

Yup, star legenda general section.

Though from posts in here, the drop rates in both game are screwed.

I think this post was meant for both:

[Rawrimafish]

Hey i bumped!

[Cahaun]

I remember 50 cap, most expensive item in cs was vyx helm at like 400k lol
Another reason why I quited PL: The merchants got too greedy after the lvl 50 cap.

[Seiyen]

Merchanting sucks somtimes

[Taipan]

if this happens then there will be absolutely NO way to get money. Perhaps u would like a vanity to drop to u every day?
Then no longer will vanities be expensive and rare (which is why people want them). It is hard to get good drops (pinks and vanities) to be rich in sl takes time I only have 80K which was hard to get

[harm]

decrease rates!! ppl sufferinv o_O

[Taipan]

I didn't know vanities dropped in SY

[Rawrimafish]

I got Devourer's skull helm in SY5

[Rawrimafish]

Ima just buy Xray-Visor n loot Squid Buddy! at D7

[flashbackflip]

Droprates are fine

Check the Shoppe - razrs and novas are dropped in price 3 times! Which means more of these are looted

And look at the average capped BS mob - 70% of ppl are 'vanitied' and 30% have 2 or 3 vanities, including xrays and squids..

Some ppl has better luck or better nerves to run over and over, others - make threads like this..

No offence to anyone, but economy in SL looks healthy. More healthy than the world economy nowadays

The reason for this is because people are trying to sell their pink guns before the values drop in the next update. The drop rates are still horrible.

Yesterday a guildie said the hole team got gutters

[MightyMicah]

In answer to the original purpose, ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY! I'm of the mindset that pinks should require effort to get, but not be insane. Anyone who puts in the right amount of time and effort should be able to acquire the pinks they want.

Some say that the pinks should be SO rare that only a select few who are extremely dedicated to farming should be able to get them. I disagree with this mindset because of elixars which would make platinum spenders have an insane advantage, and because you shouldn't have to have an extremely rare set to be powerful. Skill is skill is skill. Luck shouldn't decide who gets more power. Does that make sense?

[Growwle]

platinum spenders have an insane advantage

Does this really surprise you that this happens in a game that generates income based on platinum sales? The drop rate is abysmal in SL for anyone other than the most dedicated grinders or people who buy elixers often (the free elixers do not seem to increase luck as much as the purchased elixers at least for me). In PL the drop rate is a bit better, but you still get the best drops in the premium instances or with elixers.
