Feedback about common alchemy drop items
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:45 am
After helping to acquire a single lich tooth yesterday I decided to look at the more common alchemy drops.
Mob farmed: Danaoin fishermen (lvl 40-45 approx)
Number of mobs: 180
Method: killing a spawn of 6, waited for respawn, killed again. Was quite time consuming (approx 90 mins)
Alchemy drops total: 12
Alchemy drops types: 5 (out of 6)
Ancient Crushed Focus Stone: 2
Ancient Giant Blood: 3
Ancient Troll Blood: 1
Ancient Pure Mercury: 5
Ancient Mirror: 1
Enriched Quicksilver: 0
Other drops: 19
Other named drops: 17
Rog drops: 2
Of he named drops 4 are far below mob level, namely:
Belt of Dissension (lvl 18)
Necklace of Darkness Abhorrent (lvl 19)
Ring of Cold Abhorrent (lvl 24)
Ring of Body Abhorrent (lvl 24)
- these need to be level-adjusted
Overall Alchemy drops seem to be dropping in low quantity, even though the percentage isn’t so bad (6% in this case, which probably will be 5% if the sample size was bigger) – however, since there’s 6 different ones the chance to get the one you need is pretty low (in this case not a single quicksilver dropped). Since the camps are not very densely packed the acquisition of these drops is quite a time consumer.
Suggestion:
- increase amount dropped (5 of a kind for the common alchemy drops, 3 of a kind for the more rare ones).
- Look at drop rate (increase for common ones, for the rare ones it might be fine).
