I have read all these threads on the update and talked to a bunch of people, but I just want to find out one thing for sure.

Do LL, VE, Argus etc still drop the original items... as well as the new Rare/Ex items, or do they only drop the Rare/Ex versions now while the originals will be BC'd or something.
 
Alright, that's what I was thinking. But a few people said they dropped both... so I was beginning to think SE was much stupider than I thought they were.

LMAO

That just might be...but in the case I think they put their remaining brain cells to good use.
 
They drop the Rare/Ex versions ONLY now.
 
People really need to learn basic reading skills.

Everyone just re-read the part about the 4 items and mobs its clearly explained there.
 
Yeah, but you'll have to look for Flamey in game... stupid GM made him change his name because some asshole said "Flameass" was offensive.

NOT HIJACKING THIS THREAD!

Like everyone else said, the NMs now drop the rare/ex version only. The sellable items will be obtained through alternate methods.
 
I hope the N/Ms don't drop anything else worthwhile.. IE: Emperor still drops an insect wing and hairpin EX/RA now.... if they still drop soemthing remotely good, people will still be camping it.. :(

I was asking a simple question. One that did not require you to insult my reading and comprehension abilities. As I said, I had heard many differen views... and just wanted to make sure I had the correct information.

People will still be camping it. Moldavite's are Rare/ex and Mysticmaker is constantly camped. The Hairpin (whether it is Emperor or Empress) is still a really sweet piece of equipment, and the ability to get it for free is still going to be very tempting...

While this is true, I'm sure there'll be only 1-2 people camping it (after the initial cooldown) instead of 5-6. And once the people camping it get their pin, they won't be back to get another.

This is exactly it. The competition should be reduced. People will of course camp it, but the competition won't be as bad.

True, but the Moldavite has a pretty low drop rate doesnt it? People need to keep going back and camping over and over again until they get the drop. If the Empress Hairpin has the same drop rate as the Emporer's, then it should take 2, maybe 3 maximum claims to get the drop (personally, I was 2/2 on drops/claims for VE).
 
Of course Moldavites are really only good for a couple of jobs and you need to be a much higher level to use it too.

Every man and his dog with a lower level mellee job is going to want a Pin... time will tell, it always does... :wink:
 
Even still, I'd rather compete with 5-6 people who want the pin to use instead of 1 person who wants the pin and 4-5 people who are solely interested in the 800k.
 
i think this was a great way to go, god forbid you end up camping with 5 other people who need it and you *gasp* form a group and all help each other get one! Why that would help bolster the community *hisses and shrinks back in to the shadows* ;)
 
/cry I was 0/2 on VE and 0/3 on LL.
