Amorica Cave Lv15X Drops replaced by Lv13X Drops

[siruschaos]

I don't know how it happened but the previous update somehow replaced the Amorica Cave dungeon drops from Lv137-158 Equipment drops, to Lv130-138 drops only. We already have plenty of maps that drop those said gears so I highly request that next maintenance these drops be restored.

Also the drop rate while improved, could stand to be better. The monsters Medus and Balentume have a very bad drop rate, but they were dropping Lv157 Shoes and Lv158 Gloves before this update. Might I suggest the drop rate be raised for these two monsters in general.

This would be nice for the higher level players to spend a little time in here farming for these slightly higher equips.

List of Equipment that should drop by Amorica Cave Monsters
Lv137 Shoes - Dropped by Verial, Arial, Orias, Ciesta
Lv138 Gloves - Dropped by Verial, Arial, Orias, Ciesta
Lv150 Weapons, Shields, and Helmets - Dropped by All Monsters
Lv153 Armors - Dropped by All Monsters
Lv157 Shoes - Dropped by Medus, Balentume
Lv158 Gloves - Dropped by Medus, Balentume

If you can please fix this soon, it would be greatly appreciated. Besides hunting the dragon, I was enjoying hunting missing 15X gears I did not have. Now this has been stripped even when Amorica Cave is a Lv15X Dungeon.

I'd like to get GM or feedback from Rubix about this issue...and if this could be relayed to DNC for being fixed during another maintenance.

[siruschaos]

It wasn't fixed this maintenance. Try again next week please.

Lol, Charon's in here talking to himself.

I don't understand why they wouldn't implement those drops, unless they didn't want to worry about the increase in def or something...which is ridiculous since at that level you're going to have high defense anyway. At least they would give us something new to look at. :<

There, now you don't look crazies talking to yourself. c:

Mhm, we needs those gears, It's a good place tto spend a bit of time hunting our gears.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, the first week some mobs were dropping the armor lvl 153. But now it seams they are not dropping it anymore O_o

[GM_Phibes]

Sometimes changes are made that we did not ask for. Sometimes changes are made and we don't find out until after maintenance. Sometimes changes are made and we ask about them and are told 'no change' was made.... I'll look into it.

Well it more was like an unexpected downgrade, cause like Xeros said, those gears were dropping the very first week the dungeon came out (Lv153 Armor for sure, and while it took a really long amount of time, I got some 157 shoes later on as well). However by the second week, these drops mysteriously got replaced all by 13x.

Yeah they're high level gears that barely many players will wear, but it was another appeal to Amorica Cave had besides just hunting dragon. I actually was gonna drag in a Paladin friend of mine from time to time in order to hunt said gears while grinding for experience. They did increase the experience down there, which is nice but having the treasure hunt thrill was the main factor that was pushing me to spend some time down there.

Anyways it should be...a small thing to fix and adjust. But if it is done, it'll be greatly appreciated.

Okay...its been two weeks. Is it really that bad to put back the 15X gears put back into the cave? The Frozen Dungeon is already supplying the 13X gears, and it just doesn't make sense for a 15X dungeon to drop lower tier equipment. At least dealing with those strong monsters would have some purpose other than wasting our resources. No one is actually gonna train there for just experience. It's too dangerous.

Mind you for places like these. Even spark cash potions are too weak. Large Potions you may wanna consider increasing in effect later on. Funny how in-game Juice is better than a cash shop item.

I don't see anything wrong with Amorica Cave dropping unique equipment compared to the regular maps. That place demands a bigger challenge with the higher attack speeds and damage inflicted by those monsters.

Probably been busy with working on all the new content their planning to implement. Phibes acknowledged the issue so Im assuming its stuck on DnCs end more than anything.

but yeah, please re-implement the 15x armor, gloves, and shoes.

Regarding amorica cave drops.

The drop rate on radnigatas changed too. The first weeks we were getting a decent amount of them, at least we used to get around 10 of those per week (taking on consideration that we were hunting dragons like 5 hours per day, on a party of 5+, we would be lucky of getting our hands on one of those once per week) but at least there was a motivational factor, since we were seeing them from time to time.

Since 2 maints ago the drop rate is really low, and some of us are loosing the motivation on hunting dragons, because:
1.- on 15 days some players (like me) haven't got even 1 LB or radnigatas (and forget about the low rate of getting the dragon or wings on those things)

2.- 5 hours of hunting per day without profit.

3.- It gets really expensive to hunt dragons since we all need to use SC auto-Res, pots, buffs or Flasks.

In a few words. A little increase on the drop rate of valuable things would be nice ^^(It's not fun to waste 50 hours wihtout getting nothing, with the only hope to get "lucky").

That, or make it like a quest: slay 30 dragons and get the wings, slay 60 and get a dragon mount ^^, that will take a loot of hours and resources from us, but at least we know that after all the hard work a good reward awaits.

P.S: Ty for solving the vanishing problem with lesser. ;)
