Show me the usable items you found since the patch launched.


Look at the average/sexy drops thread since the re-writes went live.

The difference is day and night even if its not as good as it used to be back in 2013-2014

How could the drop rate get any worse?

To Mr. Njaguar, who doesn't think there is a problem with the drop system:

I've done 80+ solo climbs since a couple of years back and the only item I've found was a 118%ee sword...

I generally end my solo climbs in the 80s since I like to complete any maze I started. How on gods green earth can I only find 1 x 100ee+ item during this? It's beyond me. Or wait, the drop rate has gone from what everyone thought was shit, to complete and utter trash. Bring back whatever it was during 2013-2014 ish, it was amazing.

Imo, the drop rate used to be satisfying. If you spent a lot of time playing, you would get something eventually. I used to get 100%ee items all the time, I think my personal best was 3 x 100+ee items during one solo climb and it was amazing. Now I'm stuck with barely seeing one in 80 climbs, and that's just not worth my time? A solo climb takes at least 6 hours, and while I'm not expecting to get rich from every single one, I do expect more than one x 100% ee item in 80+ climbs. If that is not reasonable in your opinion, then I will respect your opinion and simply not play this game anymore. It's a shame and I don't think there is anything else that I can add.


I've done 4 solo climbs since new update. Started off Ironman and only using what I've found. I've found a VI 115ee dagger and a VII 128ee sword. I might be lucky, but that's only 4 climbs! with about 5-7 magic luck through the entire climb.

I do all my climbs with 5 ml from the start to 8 ml at lvl 25 and 16 ml at lvl 30 and then 18 ml from lvl 50. For what reason exactly? It doesn't do fuck all. Yes, all of the above mentioned solo climbs were done with 16+ml from lvl 30+ and I've only seen one 100+%ee item. Seems worth it, eeeh?

Drop rates have always been pretty poor but they've definitely increased recently.
The main issue, in my opinion, is that there are roughly 30 mods for an item, but really only a few are sought after. The rest are more of a 'bonus' while certain mods are must-have or it's a bad item.

Just because you don't find big dik items doesn't mean they aren't dropping
Best I've found since patch is 90 ee, but I can also say I've found a few and been part of a few more climbs where they've dropped.
(Most) items are dropping, just not very many (if any) XIV's...

Formee found an item worth 10K FG after about a month or so of play. He damn lucky though ;)


:o Sick, maybe I'll get there one day. Only finding single digit stat/ee items go figure. :lol:

Quote (Cheeya @ Aug 28 2018 05:12pm)
ummm what exactly is considered big ticket? are we talking prices now or back in the day?

best find ever was 2017 in February I found a 196ee lvl 45 dagger which I kept

best sale/trade was in 2009 --> lvl 30 staff w/ 43int back which I traded to Boss for 8kfg + a lvl 40 staff w/ 43int

Both on HC ofc


A few k I would say minimum, but that's sick. I don't have the guts for HC, all it takes is one disconnect and rip

Lol you used to be one of the luckiest people i've seen play and now that you aren't getting super lucky you are getting upset. No worries a lot of people do it with pass rates too! Get super lucky then those 10 climbs on monk/ninja/warlock are becoming too much for them to handle. Bro I was 5/5 now im 5/15 this is bullshit.

As I said in my previous post, there were loads of people who said the drops we shit back then. I regret to say that they didn't have a clue what they were talking about. Drops were great, why the hell were they changed in the first place?
