Noob question regarding drops.

[CSpaceCowboy]

Do mobs stop dropping items based on level?

For instance, if you kill basic mobs 30-40 levels under you, do they stop dropping items unique to them?

I cleared KR of past bichon 3 times in hour and half and not one dark/fire gem chip. Full meter, subscription, etc.

Over 3500 mobs and not one chip seems a bit excessive.

PB KR was always the worst place for fire/dark gems, clearing the horde when it’s approaching always drops a few as well as the cave that eve spawns in(sorry the name I forget lol), always seem to do well in that cave and obviously the paths to em, planes is by far the best plane in game for them though, really common.

 

[CSpaceCowboy]

Planes?

 

[Alsiral]

Clearing tp so everything is dead and then reds n blues spawn is also a winner! Unfortunately people run to em and just kill reds n blues along the way making it harder, #getridofcircles

Planes?

Planes of Acheron (catacombs GP cave)

 

[optimusprime]

There is a portal far left in PW, need to be level 185 to enter and use an orb obtained from a devastation in catacombs 4th+ to enter.
I did a run in TP/ Lava last night a few gems dropped, planes is far more consistent as previously stated, to many wars run through killing blues/reds.

One thing to note is that you get much better drops if you keep extermination meter up. If you're killing mobs far below your level then your meter won't budge

 

[CSpaceCowboy]

more than one floor to ruins of archeron? Can't find second floor.

Yea I had max meter when clearing the kr, i guess ill try thunder pass. I ended up clearing the kr 6 times and not one chip, maybe its kr? I dunno, but the drop rate on these seems excessively low imo.

 

[optimusprime]

4 floors in planes, 3rd floor also drops corrupt chips

 

[CSpaceCowboy]

I spent about 40 minutes in ruins of archeron but could never find second floor door.

anyone wanna point me in the direction to Second? Any help is appreciated.

The path on the left, near entrance

Once you're on 2nd, there's a NPC that sells pots at the top right corner of the map, and entrance to 3rd at the top left corner

On 3rd you'll find a totem npc that tells you which bosses are out within the planes set of maps

1st Ruins of Acheron - 3x HobgoblinCaptain, Maglubiyet (spawn triggered by death of HobgoblinOverseer)
2nd Planes of Acheron - 2x Baatezu, 2x HobgoblinCaptain, 2x EyeOfGruumsh
3rd Temple of Acheron - 2x RedThunderZuma (one always at top right, other one random)
4th BattlePlanes of Acheron - 3x HobgoblinCaptain, 1x HobgoblinOverseer

A note when killing Maglubiyet, there's a Node that spawns every couple of minutes, it gives a massive boost to AC and MAC of all mobs in the area, it's pretty much impossible to even hurt anything when it's up. So kill that first and keep an eye out for it respawning while you're killing boss

Legend. Ty bud.

 

[CSpaceCowboy]

Yea nah, this needs to be addressed imo.

I'm farming everywhere and can't get a single chip while hunting solo.

Full meter. Subscription.

Tried ruins gp 2 floors for a few hours each. Dozens of runs thru past bichon into Thunder pass and second floor of there.

Its seeming like my only hope is the daily bounty thing if I bribe him for gg daily and at that point I'm just done lol.

 

[ICCSTARZ]

Me too, past bichon is right on my level and a full hunt there only really generates at best one fire gem chip.
The weapon I want to use chips on will be far less superior by the time I have hunted enough to farm the chips at this rate. That’s if I ever get enough chips drop at all….

 

[CSpaceCowboy]

@Scorpian

Can you please look into this?

Multiple people are asking in bichon wall why these don't drop in past bichon at all.

timeturner, bsniper, several members of my guilds, me, etc...

We've all been clearing every mob with eradication weapons and no drops of fire or dark gem chips.

If it was elysian I would understand but this is one step above huoyan level stuff which is easy to upgrade. Even drops in orc city are easier to get.

 

[didadiii]

Try to use drop pot + stone. I still remember I could get 10/15 chips for clearing tp and lava.

 

[CSpaceCowboy]

Using treasurer stone, subscription, eradication weapon.

And I understand they have a better chance to drop in planes floor 2 gp cave thats level 185+, but for weapons that are supposed to be level 168-172 that doesn't help the people that are in the range of actually using evil mir kit.

The entire design of all this is silly really.

Orc weapon upgrades drop in 167-175 caves and they are a higher tier of weapon, but evil mir weapon upgrade items drop in 185+ caves?

How does that make sense for people in the range to use those weapons?

Orc stuff drops in planes too

Planes drops were just meant as an added bonus to take it quicker for high level people to get these upgrades without having to go back to the lower level places they originated from

EM and Orc weapons existed and had these upgrade paths before planes existed

Orc wep fresh is like lvl 174 maybe bit lower that’s why it’s dropping in then lvl caves when this come out orc was the highest cave so they could be no where else to make them drop.

They also drop in planes which as you know Is for lvl 185 or if you wanted to do the Zuma quest you can go szt 7th or planes 3f will say I have had much more luck in planes for chips etc then any other cave not to be funny or anything tho I never heard anyone complain about this only you and tht being said there’s so many more places to obtain these now to what there use to be as have been stated. I rly don’t see the problem with it tbh grinding it mostly what’s part of the fun of doing these quest. And you could yh make them drop alot more but then what does that come to all high players have to grind to get where they are but all new players are basically given it ? .
