Realistically I'm one of the players who " asked " gems to be removed, and plat increased.

1) It reduces lag from corpses being there w/o having to /hidec all on each toon, and reduces DB hits.

2) We are no longer on Titanium where weight was an issue, UF is the new shit everyone should be using, therefore we should just loot straight plat rather then having stacks of gems cluttering our bags and slowing us down.

3) I will concur with Peign even though we bump heads, that it should be around either 50-1000 or 500-1000.

4) Realistically I was making 150-300k per clear, not counting tokens, and not selling charms / pages / books.

5) So setting it to 50-1000 , gives a possibility of making 7500-150000 from plat ( obviously your never going to get the min or max. Or 500-1000 , and making 75000-150000 ( never getting the min or max )

6) As for plat bags, I've done clears where I get 300k in plat bags alone, or gone 4-5 clears w/o seeing a single one.

7) All in all, I vote to keep it the way it is, to reduce lag. Summer is coming up fast and the server population is already increasing again. We only are getting so much UP/DOWN speed so we need to focus on reducing and tweaking that way its faster during the school year when they are gone also. Tweak the plat, win win for everyone.

I used to make approx 300k in gems + bags.  I did a run earlier where I got under 40k in plat and no bags.  Small sample size, I know.

I do love the change but we should tweak the numbers.

Did you see gems? I would see random corpses have 1 gem on them.  Guessing that Lootdrop_id is where the plat bags have a chance to drop from.

Actually, I didn't remove the gems. Instead of 100% chance to drop 5 random gems, its rare chance to drop 1 gem, just as a quick fix rather than removing the list of gem drops. Oh well you'll survive.

Thanks for the change in plat the additional plat definitely offsets the missing gems.

One possible unforeseen consequence.

Makes Jacnith(sp) rare for artisan seals.  Could they simply be added to the gem drops from PoD chests.

simple fix.

I would do three clears, then turn in  whatever i had  because that was generally how many clears filled 7 bags. and get between 1-1.2 mil every time. Almost never  under or over. How's it look now? What's the yield in the equivalence of full bags? 3 full clears.

I got about 150k-160k in a clear; no plat bags. I also never got 1-1.2 million per 3 clears either. If I was doing 3 clears I MIGHT get one clear that was about 250-300k, but that's it. I usually averaged 100-120k.

EDIT: To toss in my two cents, I prefer the new way. Then again, I have horrid luck and hate looting gems. I think it should be either or though, not both.

Too be fair, the gems don't make a huge difference, but they do in the same sense. If you do multiple instances back to back ;  the gems add up fairly quick and at the end of the day when you go to sell after mindlessly farming the day, it adds up. As if there aren't 450,000 things to sink your plat in to, reducing plat this way is in no way appealing to anyone from what I can tell.

As always though, it's your sandbox, we're just all kicking up sand.

OOC consensus seems to be 200k a clear

I got 207k on my clear for the night.

I think that is about right for what I was getting before.

Thanks hunter.

Seeing as I wasn't bothering to loot gems before this change is great for me and the corpses also load in a hair faster not having to show 5-8 items every time.  Thanks Hunter!

A small consequence of this may be that Emeralds for Cleric spell and Teleporter Summon may be tough to find unless they're on a vendor somewhere (if they are I'll just buy them np)

I usually buy mine in Poknowledge when i need gems for anything. Chick is by the tree just across from the big bank.
