T1 bosses spawn no adds. T2 bosses do, and those adds can and do spawn minis and chests that drop T2 crystals.....so you get a lot more dragon major than minor. Either increase T1 crystal drop rates to compensate, or have the T1 named spawn adds, and perhaps tweak the T1 bosses slightly to compenate for the increase difficulty (I prefer this solution). Either way, Rage is right. Its an issue of T1 boss amounts, which translates to crystals.

When I turn in 300 ice or earth crystals I get about 75 of each crystal from the adds poping minis and chests. That's about 50% chance of getting a crystal from turning in a crystal. Just add a 50% chance of a crystal dropping off the T1 bosses. It's the simplest solution to even the playing field between t1 and t2.

or to save on dragon corpse spam, a 50 % chance for a crystal on a boss 1. Save difference if you get the extra 75 from the dragons or from the bosses and you would need to add to the corpses since the bosses drop rot anyway

That was a mistype. I meant for it to be 50% off bosses not dragons. 50% off dragons would be way way too much.

This server needs to learn how to spread RNG around and stop putting all your eggs in one basket. How many times do you kill a t1/t3 boss for lets say a leather pieces, but all you get is chain? I came up with the logic, let's just go with it lol.

Code:

quest::addloot(quest::ChooseRandom(100091,100092),1);

100% off chests; 33% off t1 boss's

Did the t2 essence drop rate get reduced? Turning in 400 ice crystals I got 11 essenses. I understand rng but it has been pretty consistently 2.7%. Spoke with others and they are noticing a reduced amount of t2 essences as well.

I think its around 3-9% depending which boss gets spawned for T1, for example the BP boss would obviously have the 9% chance, and bracer boss would have 3% chance.

Chest with boss crystals are higher chance too.

Shouldn't be too bad. T1 essences should be more common now,

Oh they are. I like what you did with T1. T2 is what I was asking about. If I am just having bad rng then I am just having bad rng. I have turned in about 525 crystals and have gotten 14 back. It's a 2.6 drop rate. It has been pretty consistently that all day today.

After our discussion Xiggie about our low drop rate, I decided to farm the crystals but not turn in. You are a brave man to keep trucking through such terrible drop rates.

I average about 2.3% based off a 600ish T2 crystal sample. Might help for a couple more inputs, but I think it's safe to assume with our 1500 combine crystal sample, that we need a bump on these drop rates.

Hopefully Hunter will chime in here soon.

Seems Kronos has 10% drop rate for Essence, but the other 6 bosses have 50% chance to drop from a list of jewelry and in that list is the essence at 8% which should be a total of 4% rate?

Anyways, I'm adding a new drop of 3% in addition to the regular loot list for T2 bosses 1-6 to help out.

Thank you, I really appreciate that Hunter. I was just about to hire this lady to persuade you with song and dance too. Will leave you a gif of what you missed out on.
