Hello my fellow Lokans,
Grinding is terrible currently. Grinding is risky and the current rate of drops are abysmal. There is so much risk while grinding and for what? 7-10 blaze rods a shrine without double drops, with double drops maybe 10-15. In these recent 100 person fights a town will go through 6,000+ pots. That is 8,000+ pot mats per fight not including fuel for the brewer. That is on top of 350+ AI's and 1000+ Pearls. For a triple place you would go through over 18,000+ pots in one day or over 22,500 pot mats. The previous update on grinding was a step in the right direction. However these drop rates haven't changed in years and players have gotten better meaning they use more pots and don't die as fast. This has not been accounted for and much like inflation in currency, the value of mats have changed. After discussing with other towns we are at the point where we can't just fight for fun anymore. We grind but at the end of the day our grinding cannot sustain these fights as nobody has enough time to grind that much.

Possible solutions...

1. Change the base drop rate.
2. Make it so brewing stands do not need to be fueled. Doing this like the Arcanum with Lapis makes a lot of sense as then you are grinding blaze rods for strength and not fuel.
3. Make a 1:1 drop rate of mobs killed to materials received.

I would also like to point out that these fights would not have been able to happen without covid. Since people are at home much more than usual that leaves time for people to grind like no tomorrow. When life is back to normal these fights simply will not be able to occur at the size that they are right now and I think the staff team needs to consider that as we resume our usual daily lives.

Growth happens regardless and summer is coming for NA students, bad example

Totally agree with this

Totally agree with this

Will be more relevant next school year I think but still good points

Im not saying the growth wouldn't have happened. I am saying it would have been stunted if people were required to be in school and not able to grind.

But compared to shrines the pot + ai usage in dreadfort is more then shrines, plus the time. I don't know if it's better then shrines now either, but it wasn't before.

Like I said remove shrines = problem solved. We don't need loot bundles, we need pot materials. Why shrines we're even added idk bc they're dog

I think removing shrines would be a good move. they could remove shrines and just buff drops at the dread fort or something

Remove Shrines. Just bring back old Grinding because at this point we spend more time grinding then fighting. The issue is Shrines because they suck.

+1 i hate shrines cool code tho

 

[SilentStormSix]

+1 i had to get 6 people online to get close to the rates i was getting solo with DD before they changed it all of it ;-;

 

[Marioistrash]

Get rid of baby pigmen in dreadfort there are more baby pigmen than actual pigmen

 

[PartayArc]

Add more wither skeletons or more places to grind them
