Gemstone of the Ages Drop Rate Increased!

Due to the Skin of the Drake changes, an unrelated exploit fix, and a very well thought out PM from a player, I have increased the drop rate by roughly 10%. I'll keep an eye on the number of drops/loots to potentially adjust further.

This is the kind of goodness that happens when people write out intelligent posts/messages (even weakly structured, but well delivered point) and when people report AoE farming exploits. I base a lot of big items off of the number looted weekly. If a few people are exploiting, mass farming, and getting 5x (or more) than the average player, the drop rates stay crappy (or get worse). If the loot rate across the board is low, I can safely justify lower the chance (increasing the chance of seeing one). :-)

Woot !!!

Is this drop rate increase already in effect or after the server resets?

New instances from when I posted or reboot for public zones. :-)

Does this mean your adding gsoa to the t9 drop list? 

[WatchYouDie]

Aoe exploit?

It's been there. I'll double check for spelling nonsense, but it's been there. The rate may be too low though.

I have looted 1 in the last 6 months and it was in t9

[warrior5]

I've never seen one drop outside of HOH or postorms and I've seen only 4 total since they were introduced.

[Warbash]

i have seen a lot in t6 actually

[Chunka]

I've grabbed one from T9, zero from T8. A few from T6 and 7....but most of them from HoH, and most were from before the rate was nerfed.

BTW....what are the chances of adding a shot at them in ToFS?

Maybe after T10. To prevent boobs from chain farming them, I'll have to set the drop rate appropriately per floor, which will take some leg work.

Would someone really do that? It's so boring to farm lower teir content for the random rare.
