Host Odin and H.Admin Freyja have been increasing loot levels. Actively adjusting the issue as players tell us how their hunting experiences are. We literally just discussed the nature and rarity of Books, how EBooks are an essential for Mages and killing mobs. That NBook should be considered GM, due to their strong nature. The winds of change are coming, men and women!

what and how are you guys hunting? I'd be insta dead just walking in some places What classe are you playing? Only bard? If the loot levels are indeed increased soon, maybe you'll have some luck killing balrons/behemoths/stomps/balrogs/great wyrms/golden dragons etc. But right now your best bet is killing high end bosses, most common are maybe Wizard Bullfrog, Kappa, Glutton and Nemesis. Depending on your class you need different gear to have any chance. A warrior for example needs 75% all resistance minimum or you might be one-shot. A ranger with 75% all resist and lv3 melee prot can do pretty well, and is probably the easiest way to get into PVM. Regardless of classe you need a free action item and lv4 necro prot (75% resist). I think you need a decent vanquishing weapon, if you want we can hook you up with some prot jewelry and a weapon. After that there are luxury items like high level poison weapons for extra damage and blackrock weapon to drain mana which help TREMENDOUSLY with pvm.

The winds of change are coming, men and women! It would be nice to get some specifics when you have settled on the changes. Is the loot increased across the board? Are lv4 tmaps worth doing for something like books? Did you boost some mobs but not others etc.. So we know what to expect.

Very well, as of right now, I won't be giving exact numbers, as we try to strike a balance. There is indeed quite a bit of math that goes into these figures, so allow a little wiggle room for human error(the confusion with 2% and .02%?). Just know, we are working to improve the quality of life for you guys. It's an uphill struggle. From my understanding, before I got here, the staff hit a rough patch where everyone had something personal going on. We've gotten over that little bump in the road, brought on some new staff, and are working to fix the issues you guys have brought to the light.
I will say, that mobs of level 8, and below, are geared more towards beginner players or players recovering from losing their main set. Level 9 and above, is where things start to get hairy. Where you start finding Devs and things of that sort. (Un)Fortunately, Host Odin had discovered a bug with loot dice rolls, preventing anything above power from dropping as it was meant to. This bug caused Vanqs to be as rare as GM weapons. This issue has since been fixed. We know you guys are frustrated, and in some cases...livid. We are working to get these issues taken care of.
Maps, from level 3 on up, have a chance at books, now. Take this for what you will, and of course, the chance gets greater with the increasing difficulty.
Just hang in there, guys and gals. We are working on it.

Great update Tux, thanks. And looking forward to the changes.
How long has the weapons > power bug been around? What level are the lowest "boss" mobs at? I'm guessing balrons and behemoths etc are the lowest, level 8, or 9?

lowest bosses(level 8) are things like balron orc brute Golden dragon behemoth bane horn termuligin ancient wyrm silver dragon dark lancer dragon queen waterdaemon lord etc etc

The wizard bf is still a lvl 10 boss, but that is a dungeon end boss. and it's already spawned, so those spawnes where incorrectly chosen and have been adjusted to the spawning rules. you can read that in the list of boss mobs as on page 15 on the server status: Jul 21, 2015 at 9:09pm QuoteEditlikePost Options Post by Host Odin on Jul 21, 2015 at 9:09pm end bosses are: highest level bosses: Legendary hunter Blue Slaad Glutton Dragon King Archangel Vrykolakas Ancient Thunder God Wizard bullfrog Kraken Hydra The Summoner Ancient Earth God Vorpal Lux and note that t2a is marked as dungeon because you cannot recall in to it balrons and balrogs and goldendragons etc are level bosses not end bosses

like i just told you, the wizard bullfrog is and end boss for a dungeon. it's the end boss of Wind. did we remove the spawn where it's supoosed to be ? because i think it's just removed in open field just next to the water so you can shoot is as lvl 0 ranger in a boat.
the wizard bullfrog is still in the game and it's exactly where it belongs. The other winzard bullfrog spawnes where wrong and more......

You are digging your own grave for this shard for sure man. They always have been there and players have killed em before and getting loot. U are making this so bad for new players..... Stop acting like Head Admin when u r host... This is not funny anymore.

You also changed Wrong, u guys cant srsly change the spawns so incredibly much all the time. This is not realistic at all, just harder and harder and harder to get good items. No point in playing here anymore, i will decide in couple days if ill quit or not.
