Are you using any Elite Damage bonuses (pet, gear, etc.)?

Are you running in a full party?

Timed LB or not-timed?

Thanks in advance!

Non timed decent full sb set with kraken set proc with 3.4k str

Hello! I wanted to ask if the wisp poison will drop too in the Elite Poison Caverns.

Also if the materials for the warrior Star stones drop in elite more frequently?

I went solo and the difficulty is slightly the same as the normal maps.

This item drops from the Tektite Elite Runners Chest.


Best wishes!!

It would not stop even after we killed boss / gate.

This was indigo.

Please increase the drop rate of tektite

If the dificulty has been severly increased it means some hardcores took a greater advantage to progress in leaderboard.

[Smartdroid]

Thanks, but the elites were better off like this, but it wasn't necessary, but thanks.

It hasn't. The difficulty increase is in the neighborhood of ~20% additional health, damage.

Please do let us know how difficult you expect this content to be.

We set it up so that it's still accessible to players who aren't rocking full Bio / Star Beast - which seems fair :-)

Mobs die within couple of sec to single proc of kraken aegis n armor nothing else required at least make them tanky as I remember during zodias elite skull dozer axes were doing less damage but now kraken can clear even 86 expansion we wont be needing lvl 86 arcanes I guess

yeah i expected that too but the gold drops are low and moobs are weak and the drops rate for tektite runner chests too is also very rare...

hope it will become more harder so when arcane new weapons releases we can do solo until that time...

[dexxiedex]

Bit off topic maybe, but I was wondering where the 2x fathom event is :p, or whether it's postponed

Please add Elite Elder Woods in guild challenges.

Do not change the difficulty any more on these maps. Hollow Grove boss is quite hard, I think many players will not be able to play this map already. It's a nice flow right now and if you make it too hard then nobody will farm.

I like that you are keeping in mind the accessibility of all the players and their journey in Arlor with acquiring gear.

Just leave it!

[Deathlyreaper]

Do not change the difficulty, let the maps be playable for new players. Honestly this is what happens when the gap between rich and normal players are too high, especially with these ridiculously insane procs that allows players to reach 1m dmg. They are able to solo maps faster than a 4/4 party of normal players. Honestly at most the strongest player in the game should be equivalent to 3 normal players and that's the STRONGEST. Most strong/high geared players should just be as strong as 2 normal geared players. I truly hope that the game start to move away from this type of thinking with the new 86 arcane weps.

[Cinco]

Thanks for the excellent feedback!

This isn't a bad thing. Kraken (and Rusk) Arcanes are currently the most powerful gear in the game.


... i expect map become super hard like playing in catatomb map

Arcane Catacombs is meant to be especially difficult. Elite Elder Woods is meant to be accessible to endgame players with modest gear.


...the gold drops are low and moobs are weak and the drops rate for tektite runner chests too is also very rare...

We don't plan on increasing the drop rates of the Tektite chest or the amount of gold that drops - so it's a good thing that difficulty remains nominal.

Agreed - when I test with my mixed sets on my 'not so OP' toons, my intermediate Pet companions, and my middle-aged reflexes, the Elite Elder Woods is a death-march. Making this content significantly harder would alienate more players than it would entertain.


Do not despair, my OP Legends! While the Elite Elder Woods may not be the KDR-crushing meat-grinder you were expecting, the team is developing a new content system that is designed to present you with the most deadly challenge you have ever experienced in Arlor. More details will be coming in the next few weeks and I really hope that you find it an appropriate match for your skills, experience, and gear.

Best wishes!

Cant wait for the new content ty for ur support :love_heart:,

Difficulty is fine for average players. Pls dont change. Thank you.

Enjoying the map so far.

question about the tektite crates do they drop only from the boss and mobs or just bosses in the elite map


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[TheBoon]

does poison droplets wisp and poison fog aura drops from elite dead estus? because in tektite chest preview, only the poison fog aura is available.

[dmqp]

I like Elite Content. There is thing i miss tho. I miss rare loot from bosses. Something like boss can drop badge | arcanite smokey. New runner chests are great, furniture is ok as loot, but i miss this super rare loot, that brings good feeling once you loot it. Something, that Poison caverns have in form of poison wisp. Hope rare loot can be added to boss loot table. Other than that i am satisfied with Elite Content and APS. Ty

[Mehmetwehbe]

What is the real use of BIO set I have it but seems useless

Are they rare or ultra rare?

Yesterday I did more than 290 runs in Elite Poison Caverns and I didn't see a single Poison Wisp or Star Stones ingredients, nobody of the people who were with me in PT.

Which makes me think that in elite they are not dropping those items or ingredients, and I also think that their drop % is still too low.

Remember that the Poison aura only comes from the tek chest, not from the boss.

Could a Dev confirm if wisp posion, indigo moth ingredients, and Star stones ingredients are dropping in elite? We appreciate the response as there is still a lot of confusion xd

In conclusion should we continue going to normal Poison caverns?

[Febz]

Reset lb timed run elite elder woods. After still being the same as normal elite, now it is harder for mobs there to be timed

Hedourah's Lair bar progress haven't moved since the elite content release, the same happened when elder woods expedition release, which is weird since both releases more players were playing and killing mobs/bosses... Is it intended to happen every elder woods update or just a bug?

[|Ares|]

Maybe a little cooldown drop on Lost Expedition set proc? It applies the antitoxin but the moment you play on the 1st map and literally step from 1 pool onto the other set loses its value drastically.
Also would like to see more drops of stuff like Sliced Mushrooms or Tree Moss, there's only couple spots per map that offer those. Could add some more in the maps in general.

It's like only those above average player telling it was easy in terms of its difficulty. But I think its balance since there's no arcane gears yet and not all does have complete sb set much better to stay as it is for now let them earn some gold for a meantime don't be so selfish lol.

Poison caverns also deals great amount of dmg like it was impossible to use any set aside from imperm set, I need to waste 5 cost of ankhs (dont know its name) to survive few secs to switch kraken armor and burst the boss

If you use lost expedition the proc icon is not the same as using an anti-toxin.

if you see the red weap proc icon you are using the anti toxin and it counts to your ap.

[deathhbringer]

Elite Hedourah gold drop is same as normal map there is no changes in it increase the gold drop in elite map version including the chests the other chests elite maps drops better gold than elite hedo

I noticed it too looks like you only increased chest gold loot a little but not in boss drop. Im expecting the drop was the same to elite rahabkor wherein you can drop double gold per chest otherwise just increased gold drop

[infaeniti]

when elite hedo deaggros (when players die and leave) the dot still applies and does a ton of damage immediately on spawn. Can that be fixed?

[deathhbringer]

I dono if its intentional or not but elite hedourah doesn't drop tektite runners chest did 400+ runs but didn't see single person loot that chest

[|Ares|]

Add the Tektite Chests to Elite Hedourah drop please.
Looting only locked crates is just pointless.

[Candylicks]

We need something with all the corruption tokens. Can you add more furniture items? Most of us have a forest of bonsai. If nothing is added you can decrease the drops of the tokens. It just slows us down when we have max tokens.

Did anyone see the wing materials drop? I have not and none are in AH. Maybe dev can take a peek under the hood on that one. I admit I need to go back and see where they drop maybe is all in maps I did not run. (Indigo/Hedo so far)

Thanks so much. It was a nice / busy weekend and great to see everyone in Elder Woods!

[Cinco]

Please increase the Golddrop in Elite Hedo .

If we decide to increase the difficulty of Elite Hedourah we may consider increasing the gold drop. For now - since he is not tough to beat - the gold will remain as it is.

Yes! We will be adding those chests to Elite Hedourah. He was supposed to have them but there is an issue. It'll be addressed very soon :-)

There is a loot issue with both Elite Dead Estus and Elite Black Leaf. We'll take care of it!

Thanks for the feedback!

[Monarsi]

After the last update, the gold dropped by Elite Dead Estus has dropped drastically. I get more golds from chests. I've tried more than once and I am pretty sure that I switch my gl set right before boss dies. I also did few runs at Standard Poison map and gold drop is way better than Elite version. (Just boss , chests are normal).

Could you please check this?

Thanks in advance!

[Lolifee]

I recognised it as well, please fix sts!

[Mohok]

The elder woods is a beloved map and its always fun to play and recently we had the new elite maps and today ill be rating using the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1- in terms of making gold : 8/10
2- difficulty : ( the higher score the hardest ) ( 4/10 geared pleyers ) (8/10 ungeared players) 6/10 overall.
3- event map : 8/10 amazing colors and designs good job
4- event idea / style and gameplay : 7/10
5- collectable items : 4/10
6- rewards : none
7- store items : none
8- locks loot : none
9- vans design : none
10- event elixir : none
—————overall 6.6/10—————
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a nice addition but in my opinion its missing some more collectibles and loot we rrally need more items and loot to run for .

[TheBoon]

can you add a progress bar where we can see our kills/rank in elite elder woods?

[zulice zion]

Can u make lost expedition proc set as new variant proc so it wont delay main wep proc. kinda annoying need to wait cd just to use krak aegis.

Sent from my SM-A505F using Tapatalk

[Switchback]

It is just injecting more gold into the game, oh yes, how we are lacking that. I would give it a 3 because it seems like they have been just buying time until they can nerf normal damage values and add a gear check to the game. That wouldn't matter if loot could be crafted ect and not exclusively behind a paywall.


Some people can't put the game down and some can't pick it up. I'm the latter, it's extremely boring.

[recilencia123]

@cinco could u confirm if dead estatus and black leaf badge drop in elite version too pls? ty:)

Elite hedourah map is classic STS mess. Most of the times I spawn in the middle of some chaos, not a fresh map. Or in an empty map that's already phase 2. That's so boring an tiring. People join and leave all the time or just insta die upon spawning.

[Heev]

After the season ends will kill mobs return to 0? Does lb reset?

[abnerzzz]

Please fix bugs in Hedourah maps, when entering the maps they are already empty, many times I die automatically when entering

too easy too run

Try running it without arcanes or mythics. Impossible without top tier gears which isn't right. Looted legendary or set equipments should be able to at least finish the map but a little bit slower. Elites shouldn't be restricted to locked crated gears only.

need somw items in vendor to buy with crate tokens
