Tenb previously stated drop rate was ~10%, with 20 scavenger I was getting ~12%
Currently with 20 scavenger, I'm getting ~7%

given the doubling of scavengers effect, that would put the base rate at 5%. So maxed 50 scavenger now is 0 scavenger prior. Course I could just be having some variance in my numbers, but I've done quite a few rounds since the patch. I'm bout to start a second long grind to check.

I would say the answer is definate yes. I have 12 scavengers , get 1 pitiful drop about every 5 rounds and the best i got were greater potion or draught (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

And the arena clear bonuses still need tweaking (in my humble opinion), since this is what I earned today. It's the same as yesterday, except (most of these done on nintendo or hell, the greaves earned on twisted plots - and they suck):

[Crude Health Draught] x 1
[Average Health Draught] x 1
[Superior Health Draught] x 1
[Lesser Health Potion] x 2
[Average Health Potion] x 1

[Average Mana Draught] x 1
[Greater Mana Draught] x 1
[Superior Mana Draught] x 1
[Crude Mana Potion] x 1
[Lesser Mana Potion] x 1
[Godly Mana Potion] x 2

[Infusion of Frost] x 1
[Infusion of Lightning] x 1

And yes, I'm almost positive the base drop rate has been decreased. I have more scavenger then I did prior to the update, and I'm finding less then 2/3 of what I was finding before on cakefest (and of course, no more godlies).

I think I'm finding more elixirs than godlies(they are like non-existant XD) and didn't get a single artifact during my 1717 cake grindfest the other day or today yet (but that might just be me being unlucky)

You cannot find godlies in cake anymore without recockulous LotD and a high base character level. Elixirs can still be found at a rate of roughly 1 out of every hundred items you find through the "special" item path.

Can you find them on Easy?

-- Effective Interference is reduced by 1% for every 25 points in Wisdom or Intelligence
-- These stats are all applied after the final equipment stats are calculated.

Haha, just noticed that it's percent, not points of interference, so it's pretty useless for pure mages after all. I'm getting between 5.3% and 3.8% when I try it out, but the slop in the second decimal is enough to account for the variance.

Ah, I have only found em on normal so far with 8 LotD at my level. Doesn't mean you can't though, I've only played bout 100 rounds of easy since the patch. They're rare at least.

Time to spend some quality time with easy. Probably just gonna start keeping track of all my drops

Godlies is like almost what elixir was before 0.3.7. If you do easy it wont be impossible to get some just not likely. Which means sooner or later ppl have to go to bazaar to fill up their godlies/elixirs which is what tenboro wants (my guess).

I thought that read "Can you find them on Ebay?". HentaiVerse is turning more and more into a mainstream MMO with each passing day! Soon we'll have the trolls and flamewars over epenis.

You mean we don't already?

Tenboro had that already in the notes:

- Some unlockable titles are listed below. Note that after obtaining the title, you have to set it from the new selection describe above. If you already qualify for a title, you should have been given it, but you still need to set it.

And the arena clear bonuses still need tweaking (in my humble opinion), since this is what I earned today. It's the same as yesterday, except (most of these done on nintendo or hell, the greaves earned on twisted plots - and they suck):

What do you expect, a daily medal for clearing them?

And yes, I'm almost positive the base drop rate has been decreased. I have more scavenger then I did prior to the update, and I'm finding less then 2/3 of what I was finding before on cakefest (and of course, no more godlies).

I didn't think anyone would notice. Except that I put it in the patch notes. Over several lines. And have been talking about it in the thread. So, uhm.. dur?

The real effect is mostly that there's less crudes. And that scavenger is relatively twice as powerful (95% -> 90% instead of 90% -> 85%).

Extra damage, Interference reduction, and faster potions.

I like this update.

There was less wailing and gnashing of teeth this time, so I can conclude that 0.3.8 is not as good as the last update. Less entertaining, at the very least.

I think you got Crude and Lesser Spirit potions mixed up while making changes, Tenb. As it is, Crude restores 12% and Lesser 10%. (or, at the very least, their descriptions claim such things) Not that it affects much of anything, I guess, but worth a mention anyways.

Hmm yeah, Crude Spirit Potions had the wrong description. Fixed.

It was quite brilliant actually. The masses were distracted by pretty words and +5% damage while their item based income was cut by 50% and, overall, equipment made rarer as well unless I miss my guess. Relative is such a fun term.

Not that I care in particular, I just find it mildly amusing. You need to find your entertainment not only in the mobs rage.

That's my fault for misunderstanding then, or just completely not seeing them (I feel stupid, yay!). I didn't think the notes about consumable drop rate meant base item drop rate, and if you said it elsewhere, I completely missed it. My bad.

... Maybe a medal or something that lets you play any arena for free (assuming a win) an extra time would actually be kinda cool :P
