    Default please increase red diamond drop rates

    twice I've recieved a 3x combo blessing since crafting has come out (comes with 30% luck). I've farmed blacksmoke for 3 hours both time while wearing big luck and have recieved 0 red diamonds. i got a presto gem the first day and a hawkeye gem today. Not only have I not gotten a red diamond, I haven't even seen one drop. That's about 90 runs and 450 drops (most of been full groups) and not 1 red diamond. I don't think I should have to buy an 80 plat an hour shamus elixir, a 40 plat an hour thrasher and 3 plat per run entry fee into underground to craft my set. I also don't think red diamonds should be selling for 800k-1m when you need at least 7 to craft a 3 piece set or 11 to craft 4 piece set. I also don't think drop rates on pinks in blacksmoke should be so low that the complete set sells for more than the gold cap.

    I personally feel like after farming for 6 hours I should have at least 3 of the gems by now.

    How is it that you have done 90 runs in BSM in 3 hours? That's 30 runs per hour, or 2 minutes per run? I don't think you could reach the boss in Dragons Nest in 2 minutes if you didn't kill a single mob along the way and just ran through the mobs. It would still take more than 2 minutes.

    6 hours, not 3 hours. I had 3x combo 2 times and farmed for 3 hours each time.

    Still, that means 4 minutes per run. I'd like to see a youtube video posted of this 4 minute run.

    3 to 4min per run is doable on full party (75+) thrash/x3 combo. I 've done fews runs like that, i have x3 combo blessing and bought a 5min x1.5 exp, my exp elixir end on 1/3 Way of the next rmk, so i guess 4min per dragon nest run is doable.

    Post a video, then I'll believe it. I've been timing Underworld runs and I've been on dozens of them with full party of thrashers, and none have finished in less than 6 minutes, with the average being around 7-8 minutes. And Underworld is a much shorter dungeon with half the mobs.

    If the Devs increase drop rates of NRDs, then it wouldn't be legendary loot, will it?

    I think we are not talking about the same map, im talking about dragon nest map, not the Underwolrd dungeon.

    Sorry but why raise it when it's already high enough. Be patient I would know prices are dropping. I buy at least 5 a day.

    because it's not high enough. I haven't seen a single one drop in the non plat maps in hours and hours of farming.
    i don't think I should have to pay 80 plat an hour for shamus elixir, 40 an hour for thrasher and then 3 plat per run just to have a chance at one. I feel like after 10 hours of farming I should be at least half way if not all the way to getting my items crafted.

    I'll say once again, the drop rate is the same for the paid dungeon, you just get more drops in a shorter amount of time. For example, last night I ran the paid dungeon for 3 hours and got one Diamond and one recipe, both of which came right at the end of the 3 hours. Prior to getting those 2 drops, I had run the dungeon at least 25 times with no pinks. 25 runs in the paid dungeon with 7 bosses means I got 175 drops without seeing a pink. So that is the equivalent of running Dragon's Nest 175 times in a row and seeing no pinks. Even if you can manage to run Dragon's Nest in 4 minutes, that would mean spending 12 hours in a row with no pink drops.

    I'll say this again, I want to have a chance to try to obtain gear that is very rare and that not everyone can have. If there is enough diamonds and L75 pinks for everyone to have a crafted set, then I don't want it. If Pocket Legends becomes a game where the best gear is easily obtainable for everyone, I will lose interest completely.

    The best gear should be that which is very rare and at best only a very small percentage of players should be able to obtain with very hard work and some luck. Crafting has been out now for one week and everyone is already crying that they didn't get enough diamonds to craft their set yet. Geeezzz!!! If it was that easy for everyone the game would become boring very quick.

    When you say you saw no pinks, you mean you did not receive any pinks yourself or there weren't any pink drops in general in these 25 paid dungeon runs? In case you mean you didn't receive anything yourself but other people were getting pinks, how many were these pinks (approximately)? Also, how frequent were purple drops?

    This is why I don't endgame pvp. At low levels, you don't need to spend hours and hours just to get one ingredient in making a recipe. All you needs is a forg. bow, and spam screen.
