The Guildmasters

Ok i’ve run the first 10 quests for the item drop experiment to find out what gives in my town. I have only included items that I consider unusual or rare that the NPC’s give after a quest, I have not included the many items given that are common or the items from pick up points, just the rare items from NPC’s.

1st Quest: Big Red 3 run with 4 players:
Items given after quest:
Red Ore given by Jerome

2nd Quest: Big Red 3 run with 4 players:
Items given after quest: Rough Saphire given by Xander and one given by Ven Lien Wind-Dragon Flake given by Lucas

3rd Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Fire-Giant Eye given by Dianus and another Rough Saphire from Xander Aged Dragon Heart given by Palt

4th Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Rough Ruby given by Clark and Fire-Giant Heart Bit given by Hector

5th Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Knave Panel given by Colin

6th Quest: Home of the Knave 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Knave Panel given by Charlelone Wind Dragon Flake given by Lucas and Troll Armor Suit given by Lau Varie

There was a break then and when I came back online I could run round the town and pick up items again and got 1 Knave panel from Colin

7th Quest: Home of the Knave 1 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Beard given by Beketov and Dew Drop given by Colin

8th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Scale+ given by Taltenos

9th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Scale+ given by Taltenos again

10th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Red Ore given by Jerome Troll Armor Suit given by Ven Lien and Troll King Mace given by Vincent.

As you can see and as Death pointed out to me the items are definitely not quest related. First 10 quests didn’t give much in the way of + stuff and I think when I was getting lots of + items I was running quests like KOD 3 SA 2 GH 2 and DD 2 so another theory could be the harder the quest you run the better the items given. First ten quests were easy ones so the next 10 I run will be moderate then the 10 after that will be GR12 lvl 50 quests just to see if the items improve by the difficulty of the quest run.

I know I was going to write the rest of the armor sets today and i’m in the middle of getting those together so it will probably be tomorrow now, there are more than I first thought but worth listing and I will do this.

I wanted to write about items that players keep asking about and to be honest there is one particular quest where you can get virtually every item you need that requires farming, I’m talking about ores, flowers, herbs, planks and branches etc…

As long as your at the magical GR 7 or higher you can run King Of Dragons 1 (actually you can run this one at GR 6), if your GR 9 or higher you can run KOD 2 and if your GR 12 or higher KOD 3.

Now I know what your thinking, you can’t possibly solo King of Dragons and your right, but you dont have to kill dragons, you can avoid them fairly easily and just on the first section where the Ice and Fire dragons are there are at least 14 pick up points where you can get stuff.

It’s a pretty good run through if you can take out the elementals, some of you won’t be strong enough yet to take on 3 or 4 elementals but if you can get the ones that are on their own that’s bonus exp and bonus items when they drop, and elemental drops are worth selling if you get enough of them.

There are ore drop points, many flower points, I actually run through this quite often to get me some Cordyceps to make my elixirs but whatever GR you are you will get a lot of what you need here. I am working on a walkthrough for this quest for item drops and their exact locations with grid reference so you can just look at the list and go straight to the pick up points you need if you don’t want to search every crate, flower bed and rock.

My last run through on this quest solo gave me many elemental drops to sell as well as scorpion drops and by the time I get to the fire dragon my combo is built up enough to attack his tail and get a bonus drop, I often let him kill me so I can restart at the save point and go towards the wind and earth dragons to get those pickups as well, it’s a really good quest for getting a lot of stuff that might usually take you forever.

Let me know if you want me to post the walkthrough for item pickups and i’ll probably do that at the weekend.

Wow I just can’t seem to get the few items that I need. I know the rare item drops are supposed to be 1% but you would normally expect one every now and then. I’ve played Station Attendant 107 times now and never had the turret drop or the mask+ which kind of tells you the percentage is even lower than 1%

1% generally means you may have to play the quest 100 times to get the drop although most times you wouldn’t have to play that many to get it, 107 times without either of the two drops definitely makes it less than 1% unless your supposed to play it 100 straight which is virtually impossible, not sure why they made the rare drops a little too rare, 5% would have still been hard but at least you could have eventually guaranteed the drop.

Just lately i’ve had players looking at my gear and saying things like “why do you have that sword” or “how come your still wearing GR10 stuff?” well to me it’s pretty obvious that i’m using inferior stuff for a reason, not because I want to but because I still haven’t managed to get the items needed to upgrade.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of players have dropped away from this great game and the only way to guarantee playing quests is to enter a room, I started playing rooms this week and I could always find a quest, even it wasn’t one I needed. Weekends are still popular and I hope more players start getting WKC or it looks like I may just miss the platinum trophy.
