    I have not noticed a change. And changes in drop rates will usually be the first thing I notice.

    You grow used to x2 drop so when it went back to default, you feel disatisfy

    i was never here for the last x2 drop (was busy during the time), certainly feels like to me the drop rates have got alot worse, i can go through 2 full mp bars and only get 1 DQ at times, i even try killing different types of mobs for better drops and no luck, with this -20% DQ value and this *feeling* like drop rate is lower...money making on mobs seems like a myth.

    I started a week or so before the x2 event, so I remember what it was like. Sadly though, when I started, the gold was 300k per gold, now it's like, 450k.
    There once a time when I cared about getting to the top quickly as possible to help others. Now, I take it slow, and don't worry about having nothing to do. There's always something to do in an MMORPG, especially if you are high level. PK'ing is for those who desire to inflate their egos. True friendship comes from helping one-another, rather than to start rivalries.

    It takes 315300 Mysterious Chips to make one warsoul weapon, if you have a 100% success rate.

    When I started gold was 100K per. lol

    But drop rates don't seem to have changed much to me.

    i have seen a change, but that doesn't mean im not just having bad luck, as this is always a viable reason for my drops


    before 2x on 80 mobs= around 20 dq items

    during 2x on 80 mobs= around 40 dq items

    after 2x on 80 mobs= around 15 dq items



    it isn't a huge change, but coupled with the 20% reduction on price it adds up

    and the low average can be attributed to one run where i got 3 dq items out of 80 mobsb:cry

    yea that was the price when i started.

    but being on my 5th character to go through foxwings (who have a history of dropping well) I have noticed a change as well. ....may just be my imagination though

    Ninja change. This was the "compensation" they would make specifically for us since nerfing the DQ prices.

    I miss those days. I remember when I thought 100k was a lot too. b:surrender

    On Topic: Eh, there was a time right after 2x drops ended that I thought the drop rate was nerfed. Not just because of I got used to having 2x drops but because I was getting less than 10 DQ items every 60 mobs I killed for several days. Then it went back up to the normal 15-30 I was used under normal drop rates to so it's probably just a string of bad luck.

    Off Topic: Another alt, Yulk? Getting almost as bad as me with the alts.
    This alt has been brought to you by lkurei - Harshlands.

    Idk if im just lucky or something but i have been getting a **** load of DQ's since 2x drops ended. Was playing on my alt psy and collected like 100+ Ghost Charms within maybe an hour of grinding the little dudes at kings feast. b:surrender
    My sin seems to be having similar luck with the dragons above anglers. I have been farming Fruit (not so much but a decent amount) and Rubyhead Herbs like crazy. b:pleased
    Ofc when i go to sell all of these dqs the selling npc price makes me cry.

    However instances have become the most depressing.
