Ahh, I did not know that.
Well my rebuttal was going to be that, by adding LS players more regularly to the pot.. assuming this means they now win the prize pot "more often" for their LS play - they now have more fg in their hands for buying/selling/gambling items on LS to MQ faster. (which gets taxed on the MP and takes fg outta the system)
And it might bring traffic to people in playing LS idk just a wonky idea, but it would be great to use gp's for something other than "bragging" rights worth nothing

Idk I kinda like it with the latest update :shrugs: maybe not too often but ye why not. Surely if this was ever implemented we’d just get bombarded with t1 and everyone hates it

Yes because everyone said no and I'm a rebel

I legit think it's a great idea.

I have no bias for or against anything in LS though, just things I think of that would make sense.

It is funny how you ignored on the logic of my previous post in reflection to your suggestion and you go off topic.

As for fg, LS always removes 0.05 fg per 1.00 fg for items on the Marketplace. Also note that there have been many attempts to use GPs (suggestion threads) for other things including raffling, increasing room for the Guild members and many other ideas.

Back to topic, as the introduction of Fire/Ice/Lightning & Earth Mastery, it reduced the chances of finding better items, as stated in my previous topic, adding essences to the drop table is reducing the chances of finding other items, and in effect also reduces the chance of finding better items.

I don't skill, pure and simple I do catacomb runs to find gear that I can use, and not find gear that I basically just trash... damn, I wish you could throw the rods (Magical) back into the shrine and use as a shrinable item, at least they would be more useful for a catacomb/map runner if they had trash mods like items we currently find... and if I am correct (someone can answer this)... I don't believe you can MUTE or get essences from Heavy Weapons.

You can get essences from breaking down Heavy Weapons, but you cannot re-roll essences onto Heavy Weapons

If my drop rate for heavy weapons goes down to make room for essence drops, I wouldn't complain. I'm just saying, drop rates are already high enough we have a godly drops topic that gets an addition almost every day. Lowering the heavy weapon drops or the comfrey drops or the rod drops by 20% of their current values wouldn't bother me much.

Thems the breaks though

I mean it'd be op if every single essence drop was solid. 99% of them gotta be junk

Thanks.



This is the fanatical answer I have seen in the years I have played this game or making suggestions myself. You are correct, the suggestion does not affect you, it would not even affect me either, I don't see the purpose of it, I don't skill, I don't waste my time on it, I don't have room on Marketplace to add another 1-5 fg trash item like an essence that may have dropped, also, can the essence be shrined and be useful in that matter? Can you increase the SLOTs for storing Essences with Maps, Rods, Comfreys and Fish?

These are things that you need to think about also... because if essences were to drop from killing a mob, you reduce the chance of an item drop, and fill up your Item storage faster ... shit you can not shrine Rod, can you shrine essences?

Think more about it.

I wouldn't pick them up, same as tier I items that are basically useless and just there to waste item drop spaces. But, the benefit of a tier I item drop is that there is also a tier XIV drop, and everything in-between. The same applies to essences. You'd junk a tier XIV Arcane essence? Nah.

Edit: I don't shrine tier I drops. I just ignore them.

You also have to consider the future of the game. Changes will be made. Maybe one of those changes could be trnasmuting essences of the same tier to increase the rarity tier.
