Change the Bounty Hunter rewards

I got a chance to do the Bounty Hunter quest yesterday, it was great. 200,000 bonus XP, helping out a tabber, normal xp and rep for tabs, I have no complaints.

It's still a little wacky that level 100s get crazy item rewards, but the quest itself doesn't need any changes imo.

I think, lvl 100 + need the stuff , cauze in hi lvl is prety danm hard get exp, but still will be nice balance in price, for low lvl like me at least 5 chips of stuff like that, i not complain about th exp reward!!!

Anyone else pissed that we now need to farm mats to make wine just to run this daily?

Going by prices from before the implement, the wine for the 8X BH is 160k total, for exp of crazy stone.

After the implement high mats doubled in price to 4k if you find them. So thats 320k for 200k exp. Crazy stone is 71k for the same exp. Do the developers think any of this through other than, costs the players money=more money for us.

Well done devs, screwed over the player base once more -.-

As for 'informing the Developers of our concerns', I think we all know how effective that is.

You don't have to use mats you lazy people. I got to do 69 unwined yesterday, and others in the squad agreed it was fun.

how fun will it be after you run it for the 80th time?

You're still doing WQ and CS right?

CS takes like 15mins max...

WQ takes around 20-30mins if you're not a cheapass with some of the teleports, or if you do plan to fly, at least you can do other stuff while you're afk

FB69 unwined... try finish that within an hour, not to mention the death risks, FB69 unwined is just a plain waste of time and a pain in the ****

So far I've done an eden and brimstone run for my bounty hunter... each person only has to pitch in 5 of each special mat for the wine. That takes like less than 10 minutes to farm.

Or, people can just wine the whole thing and have dibs on the molds... I do a fb89 book/mold/page run every other day anyways.

If you guys can't find a party who can split 5 of each mats for the wine, then all I can really say is you should consider joining a more active guild b:chuckle.

I have no issues with any other FB bosses, but it is hard to get a party for FB69s, specialy without rep from tabs to motivate the clerics and tank...

I think it took about 15 minutes to form the unwined 69 squad I was in the other day, but I was able to start clearing before we got the barb. Many people are realizing that rep farming is futile. I have over 12k rep and I don't use anything from it other than the -3% cloak from 5k rep.

Is the game fun or challenging if you're not risking death? I think it was the barb that commented that we were getting good xp on the elite mobs. We were also killing the mobs faster than my Tame Pet skill could refresh (for luring). Waste of time PITA is WQ, CS, Cube.

I stop reading there lol

btw, i;m not a veno hater but this is too different for the other classes as you guys solo fb's, TTs, ect/


If I start killing mobs on FB69 on my own, I would be just looking for suicide lol.

lol... oh of course, 600k+ exp from CS and WQ (lv90+) that can be so easily attained in less than an hour is such a waste of time and soooooooo hard to do, maybe we should just remove those from the game?

Not waste of time for people who spend cash to compensate lost income. For non cash shoppers it's a trap. It's why we see lvl 80+ venos without legendary pets, why we see toons with armor 20 levels below, etc.

Today I answered a WC just like before (this time for Polearm), but this time the leader wined it. I suggested 3* and molds to Winer, but they suggested sell and split with a larger portion to Winer. We ended up with 1 mold and 3 3*.

its kind of silly the random ive seen with it some people getting the quest twice a day, sometimes doing fb79 sometimes either fb89, i guess it breaks up the monotony of killing same boss/fb every day but also silly killing dark green bosses(unless it was a real low lvl/fast fb) i rather get the fb89s then fb79s ew.that 400coins from the boss really pays for wine b:thanks
silly implementation i guess, would be nice for people of same lvl to get same boss, right now with the random looks more like a way to get wine/wine mats out of market drive up price and so people use cash shop, but it could be worse(multiple fb/boss for 1 quest?)?

I think some of these rewards could use more exp. Right now at 79 I've gone 50/50 on getting Qianji or Resentful Pyrotesis for my bounties. Being a veno I can solo both of these pretty easily, but not every class can so I'll compare solo and squad rates. I'm assuming full squad exp is 25% of solo since I don't know exactly. Also, I'm estimating mob exp since it varies some.

Assume 5 minutes travel to the dungeon, 5 minutes travel from the dungeon, 10 to find the squad.

Qianji solo - 29 mobs (actually, you can do it in less but I'm keeping it consistent with a squad that doesn't sneak past quite as well)+boss. 250 exp per kill. That's 7250 exp for the clear, 150k for the kill. 157250 exp, takes about 15 minutes. Including travel time, 157250/25 min=6290 exp per minute.

Qianji squad - 29 mobs+boss. 62.5 exp per kill. That's 1812 exp for the clear, 150k for the kill. 151812 exp, takes about 10 minutes. Including travel time, 151812/30=5060 exp per minute.

Resentful solo - 107 mobs (roughly, it's hard to count, this is using the shortcut though)+boss. It's about 480 exp per kill, 51360 exp for the clear plus 150k for the kill. It takes me about 75 minutes to clear, plus ~15 minutes for pyro+noxtouch (required to open door). That's 201360 exp total in 95 minutes including travel time. Exp per minute of 2120.

Resentful squad - 107 mobs+boss, exp per kill of 120, 12840 exp for clear. 162840 exp total. Clear+kill time of about 45 minutes. Add travel/squad time and 65 minutes total. Exp per minute of 2505.

I don't even want to imagine the reward per minute for 79, that clear is horrible. My exp rate when solo is ~2297/minute (3.25 wereraven magus a minute, plus envoy, 2 min flight each way to get a new one). Half of my BH quests shouldn't be just about what I grind out solo with a considerably higher chance of dying during the BH.

I'm not really sure how to alleviate this, either they could be changed to outdoor bosses (preferably excluding the difficult ones which are kong, jewelscalen, mantavip, krimson, and probably DoD... not that he's difficult, but based on being related to mantavip), or maybe allow people with BH quests to get wine for less mats, like a single half strength wine will clear only to the boss you need and only be available with a BH quest and requires 1/4 the mats. Or simply change the targets. Why can't the 69 target be Serpentrex? He still has a good 35 mobs to kill to reach him. Why not have the 79 quests be to kill X mobs inside 79? (pick stuff that could be killed wined or unwined).

Or another option which would be even easier for players (maybe harder to implement), give them the option of having the FB get the wine effect once a day by paying coin if atleast half the party has a BH quest in that dungeon. You want a coin sink right? There's a way to drain it. Price the wine around the same as 4-6 crazy stones at a given level range. Each person can contribute some coin, and there you go.

Aside from that, it would be nice if they gave rep, particularly the ones that take place in FB69 and higher as stamps can't drop.

I think to make things more variable they should make the bosses more random. Any boss that you have killed your level or lower would be fun. I don't just mean fb bosses either, imagine getting eyes again ^^.

This would probably need to lots of whining on world chat. Instanced mobs are better, since they spawn when you want, and cannot be KSed/camped by others.

I agree that some boss are much harder than others. Phlebo in Eden is much easier to reach and kill than Ethereal Abomination in Brimstone.

Maybe give us a choice of target, with rewards adjusted for the difficulty to reach it / kill it, would be good.

But... were was even one suggestion made on this forum ever implemented in the game? Everything is done in China, and I doubt they care much about our concerns.
