Tenb did say he was going to look at the drop rate for high grade equips so you may start seeing more crappy exquisites. Crappy legendaries should be hard as I think that means a max or near max roll on everything, so crappy legendaries should only be a bad item type roll, not awkward stat distribution.

if($quality == 'Legendary') $suffix = 'Owl';

If I am not mistaken, Tenb mentioned that the problem's not on drop rate...ah yes

As for why the top-level mobs don't have a larger chance of dropping good gear, it's because certain values in the quality formula end up capping, especially on higher difficulties. That's also fixed in the next patch.

I guess it's something like 'Yeah I know, you guys want some magnificent equipments? Now beat FSM at IWBTH!'

if($quality == 'Legendary') $suffix = 'Owl';

Ah yes, there is that as well. I'd forgotten about trash suffixes. Silly mental block.

Someone might break his keyboard.

Noticing those ex-shit in the equipment thread, I don't think there will be useful legendary.
Getting some exquisite phase/katalox/shade should be good enough.
I'm 100% sure that these things will have a chance after the next patch

Sor, I forgot your exqushit...
What I mean is, they're so rare that you cannot expect them to be valid drops.

Still might be better than usual. Plus it's good for IW.

I don't do IW anymore.
I do Grindfest on IWBTH adn get enough credits/artifacts back to afford the Energy Drinks plus you get more Exp on Grindfest.
Hito said Grindfest is now like doing IW on a pre-patch legendary. I don't really know about that, but you surely get more Exp from Grindfest than from an Lvl 300+ Exquisite shortsword.

INT and WIS done. Now I only need about 100000 res Crystals to bring her to PL 666 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Inane rambling

Argument over.

if($quality == 'Legendary') $suffix = 'Owl';

I wouldn't turn my nose up at it. People would throw millions of credits at it simply because it's a legendary. In fact, if I got one, I would want it to be owl or cloth simply so I wouldn't be torn whether to sell it or not.

Play on BT to over round 200, then decide again.

Once again, not actually responding to my point. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I feel like I'm repeating myself here...

there are 6 energy drinks in the shop if anybody wants them

A Legendary Cotton Cap of Protection. People really pay millions for a title? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Oh god


I've kept a very good record of staying away from the Monster Lab. For the longest time, I had only 6 monsters sitting at level 20-22. Then I found out clicking the upgrade buttons is JUST SO EASY.


I now have 9 monsters all ranging from 50-70.


I think this was partly fueled by my boredom with my daily arena running. I'm also considering buying crystals myself, when I've always been a seller. WHAT DO I DO

Uh-oh.

The benefit of level seems to be pretty low at least in my experience. I get a lot of mid grades and a few rare items with my shitty monsters. Also, high level players have the benefit of a lot of item slots and Spark of Life, so they might be harder to kill...

So what stops me from creating an army of low to mid level monsters?



I've just been pumping every stat including resistances to get a high enough level on my monsters so most players can start encounter them. I figure even if they aren't effective in combat, with higher rate of encounters, there's a much higher chance for winning some battles. They don't even need to kill anything, right?

Nothing, other than not getting
'High-Grade' materials. They need to win a battle though, which is very hard to do vs high level players.

My staff gives approximately double the EXP of grindfest, so yes.

You can probably get a good idea of how their usefulness will be by looking at their bazaar prices.

i.e. 100 low-grade = 10 mid-grade = 1 high-grade.

You're going to need a lot of low level monsters since high grade doesn't even start dropping until your monster is PL250.
