Recipe lol.

Guys, this is the first weekend. It's only been out for 3 days. I guess you think if it takes longer than 3 days then it means the drop rate is too low?

I posted many suggestions earlier this year, and one of them was for a long (very long) quest for a mythic or arcane item. I referenced the ichor quest in Pocket Legends as the basis for my example. For any of you who played PL a couple of years ago, you would remember that the ichor quest took weeks to complete, and that is with grinding daily. You had to complete the dungeon at least 1000 or more times to get your 500 ichors.

While I do agree that there are far too many one-hit kills and that the planar arena needs to be toned down in terms of the damage that the bosses and mobs hit us with, I do NOT agree that it takes too long. This is a mythic item, and should take at least a couple of weeks before anyone has obtained it, and for most of us it should take even longer than that.

Nobody is disagreeing that it should take a long time, the fact that many dedicated players have been farming the arena hard doing 5-7 minute runs for 6 hours a day and nobody has the recipe is the issue here Sure increase the other obtainable components needed to drag the quest out a bit but having one single item that does not drop is absurd. Arcane fossil 2.0

Its not about hard work, its about luck, the chances are too small. You can run 500 times for the ichor and get 500 ichor. You can run 5000 times for the recipe and not get the recipe.

The Fragments are a guaranteed drop from each tombs boss. Now that I understand it is challenging and fun. No complain here. Arena Recipe on the other hand. Like I said there are only a hand full of people that actually can clear and finish arena runs in 4-5mins going 5-6 hours a day and still nothing. That's 4 people going at it together. 4 time the chance of looting recipe. Still nothing. Yes it has only been 3 day, But that's already been between 200-300 arena cleared. Let's wait one more week if it's still nothing what then? If sts Change to make it easier while people wasted hours and days and plats including ankh and gold for nearly no chance at it. That would be bull. So it's best to do something about it now then later.

[Xpolosion]

Out of 3 days of ppl running there should atleast be one recipe looted...

[Otahaanak]

With all the DC's, I'd be curious how many master chests have been looted in total.

3 times today we had party members DC before even getting to the fourth boss and having a shot at it.

[Xpolosion]

Ya thats why it should drop from all 4 bosses and not just last boss

ya, grinding and farming it is fine, just at lest make the process more enjoyable and more doable for most players. STS said this(arena) is the place to farm after gearing up in tridrin elite? i guarantee that a group of 4 wearing full magma set cannot complete this.

The tomb map has been live for 4 days. I myself have been running arena over 30 times these days. I know some hardcore players even have run over 50 times arena. But we haven't heard anyone has loot one recipe yet.

Considering players are more active these days, I am sure there are probably thousands of loot chance happen in the whole server these days, but no one claim he/she has looted one. The drop rate of recipe seems to be very close to zero based on my understanding. With such low chance, I am wondering how many players can get the recipe by next expansion.

I remember even shard or fossil with arcane rarity appears in the first day of release. There must be some glitches of the recipe which makes it not properly lootable.

Yea probably some kind of glitch or bug messing up the chance of it dropping. It's just absurd as of right now to even bother with it. I'm slowly giving up on arena and doing more tombs as I have already gotten about 60 fragment. If I hadn't wasted so much time on arena I would have nearly gotten my new armor or helmet in another day or two.

See what I mean by progress xD as you play and play. But for arena and recipe. There is no progress lol it's CHANCE. How is CHANCE related to CHALLENGE or hard earned in anyways. This is no Challenge it's straight up high way robbery time wasting and gold/plat drown the drain.

Yup! If I wanted to go to the casino, I would.

This "chance" is the reason why I never have and never will spend a single cent on this game.

You can also run these maps without plat, stop reacting on 6 threads at the same time about not spending money on this game.

You must be one of those players that spent a ton on this game, its your money but lol.

[Anarchist]

You can also run these maps without plat

How?

[debitmandiri]

Type /killall /killboss

Taraaa no plat used

[Idly]

How?

Look at the 'pure' lb its not impossible

[RDX]

Why no dev or mod replying on this matter......

[raw]

I agree with Energizeric. If this were an item that we could just buy from an NPC for a set amount of money, people would complain. If it were something lootable in a locked crate, people would complain. If this were something obtained after a day, people would lose interest.

I think STG got it right in the sense that they made this amulet difficult to get. As far as I can see, this is one of the first items that requires a lot of time to get.

However, STG clearly went wrong in how OP the bosses are. After a few tries, my team figured out how to coast through map 1/2, however map 3 is still quite ridiculous, and I don't have hundreds of Ankhs to test on a boss that one hits me 20-30 times a run (Costing me around 100k per run + pots + elixirs). I wouldn't mind farming these "tombs" (which aren't even tombs, but lets not even start on that) if the bosses dropped things of value more often, and didn't hit 4-5k my rogue.

At a certain point I question why I still play this game. I was really excited for the Halloween event, but quickly realized that it was a testament to who had the most money to blow on energy. Then this event came and I thought STG would have fixed all the kinks before releasing it, but I was clearly wrong. With extremely frequent DC (I DC just about every single map I run in any tombs), extremely difficult bosses, and nothing really profitable to farm with the new content, I'm surprised players haven't started to jump ship. I guess it's just a testament to how (blindly?) dedicated Legends players are...

Anyway, STG can you address the drop rate of the recipe (let us know the percentage for a drop, and if anyone has obtained one), and can you address the difficulty of the bosses.

[Jexetta]

I know personally some people that have spent 24 hours at least farming Arena over the last 3 days. These are maxed out rogues running elixers and showing timed run style times. So, they may be going 2x or 3x faster than a normal or average group of players. So you can extrapolate that to average players running 48 or 72 hours in comparison. That is A LOT of runs and a lot of time. That's more hours spent running than what a typical player would play in a month running arena 1 to 2 hours every single day.

I appreciate people playing the devils advocate, I really do, but the drop rate is abysmal. Chalk in all the only PvE elite guilds running the arena and you have some serious issues with the drop rate. This isn't even arguable. To even run arena for most people it might take 20 minutes to get a group together.

You should be able to get the amulet with hard work and a little luck. You shouldn't have to look like this guy for 1 month straight of farming arena mindlessly for hours on end :



No one wants this ^
