I noticed this too!

I believe it's just due to barbs being the tallest and how they are placed when sat on the mounts that causes a slightly larger clipping box compared to other races.

They must bump their heads a lot! 😅

losty The gear price scales, I highly doubt anyone will farm TT60 for a TT99 piece. I've done some quick maths below so you get an idea of the cost.

As for the layout of the Trade tab, if you can trade TT60 -> TT70 and TT70 -> TT80 then it just saves time to be able to trade up TT60 -> TT80 rather than doing each stage individually.

From my experience back in the original TT token Trade, we still farmed the highest we could until TT99. Because T3-X was broken, we had to farm TT2-3 and trade up. Even then it was a stupidly high amount of TT2-3 runs, for a single TT99 piece. Very slow. So if you can, doing the higher TT is always better.

This is from my farming spreadsheet which shows the mats per instance and how many tokens they are worth (first number):

So normally for when I farm alone I would do:

TT60 - 1-1 sq (1 Token per mat)

TT70 - 2-1 sq mid (first boss only and repeat) (7 Token per mat)

TT80 - 2-2 sq (first 3 bosses and repeat) (13 Token per mat)

TT90 - 3-1 sq mid (first 3 bosses and repeat) (46 Token per mat)

TT99 - 3-3 sq mid (first 3 bosses and repeat) (163 Token per mat)

As for the other idea in adding more ways to farm them, we already have the Mysterious Merchant where you can exchange Mysterious Chips (obtainable in daily cube) for TT Gold mats. It's expensive that way, but available. I'm not keen on the idea of adding another daily to the mix, but perhaps would be a good option as an event prizes.

Sadly couldnt find the options in the editor to create a project to do it, Beta.

Can we please change all TT squad modes to open with 1 leader and 1-5 squad members (Currently 3-5).

These are the effected quests:

Task: 1. Chronol (Lv.60-65) #1:13821

Task: 2. Dimensic (Lv.68-73) #1:13822

Task: 3.Substancia(Lv.76-81) #1:13823

Task: 1.Substancia(Lv.74-79) #1:13825

Task: 2. Naught (82-87) #1:13826

Task: 3. Null (90-95) #1:13827

Task: 1. Null (88-93) #1:13828

Task: 2. Vacuity (95-100) #1:13829

Task: 3. Doom (Over Lv.100) #1:13830

Just a few suggestions to add to the editor

Quests:

- Edit squad member requirements to quests (eg TT squad mode opening).

- Edit/view quests which give/complete quests for the whole party. Usually leader has 1 quest, and party members will get a different one. See GV.

Spawners:

- These seem boken in general, used to have editable options.

- Add/edit NPC or mob pathing, eg add in multiple co-ordinates to make a path (like duke, or rare pets mobs). Set timings for how quickly they move to next coordinate.

Triggers:

- Add/edit timed triggers, eg rare pet spawns every X hours.

- Add/edit triggers which can pick random spawn locations.

- Add/edit triggers to publish red annoucement texts.

I've made a project with token exchange:

I'm not 100% sure on the exchange, I've started it as 1:1 for all exchanges, as the cost of token per mat scales up with difficulty already, and this is how it would have been converting up before the last change. But that can easily be changed if we get a better active population in TT.

Project:

TT - Token Trade - Perfect World Mirage

pwmirage.com

The costs for the new vs old TT token is the exact same, so the only benefit from the old system is that you could farm TT99 for ALOT of TT60-90 gear.

Do you mean you would prefer to farm a lower TT instance for higher gear, eg farm TT80 drops with intent to make TT90 gear?

I believe you won't be able to summon pets on elevated "areas" so some areas that look like plant pots, carpet, stairs ect. But I've never had it be an issue for tanking mobs/bosses with a pet. Sometimes you jsut need to re-summon the pet when changing floors.

Squad mode is much more rewarding, you can do the first 3 bosses for about 500-1000 Tokens a run. if i remember correctly. Solo is really only if there is no other alternative. I'm fairly sure a level 100 veno/herc could solo squad. (open it as 3-1 medium medium for no Sub cost).

In terms of party, in most cases I would have a dedicated loot "picker" on free mode. And then when finished with running TT, split the drops evening with those in my team. Obviously this depends on the trust of the people you party with. Otherwise, you'll have to ensure the party drops are on random so you can still get some. But defo make sure that everyone in the party is on the same page on how drops will be distributed prior to starting.

I'm glad the option for the orignal instance dungeon would still be available as I have some additional worries about how and open-instance would work, so would be keen for the original intances to remain as a fall-back.

Concerns:

1. How would they effect gated instances? Eg fb59: If someone is already inside killing Qianji, but you need Zimo, would you have to wait for them to kill all the other bosses first? Eg fb99: if the guards respawn do the gates also respawn?

2. Boss camping. As some bosses drop nice molds and skill books, toxic competitiveness could be an issue if multiple people start camping bosses. This could also have an effect on gate mechanics.

3. Log-in/Log-off mechanic inside open-intance dungeons - will the person remain in that spot if they been offline a long time? I believe current instances will boot your character out the dungeon when they are offline for >4 hours.

4. Loot share. Currently, the highest damage dealing party or player receives all loot - this can lead to toxisity if remained, but could also lead to drama if loot is free for all. Players of the recommended level for the instance would struggle if a high level player was in the instance but not in their party.

5. A nice server. We are for sure, a very kind and nice community, but the concept of the open-instances depends highly on the community remaining that way.

I don't want to be negative and overall think its an interesting idea that would certainly give us a distinguished difference to other classic servers, I just feel these things, along with all players concerns, should probably be discussed prior to launch.

I would be very useful to be able to copy paste the #HEX code in the color picker

I'm not against it, I usually buy it ahead of the quest to save me the trip.

But if it is added to her, I think a quick updat to the quest description + dialog would be nice too. Just so it all makes sense.

Just reposting what was said in Lani's project comments, and adding firther discussion.

I still think rep is much better as a drop rate source, ie the stamps / hay we currently have. That said, as much as I liked the hay for those reasons. I don't think it's best as a long term solution. As Lani mentioned in the project, Stamps are also balanced as it's a drop farm, with no need for an alt army, and agree with her that these are also a great avenue for a repeatable rep farm.

I will re-iterate stamps should remain as an un-tradable source to ensure balance, no skipping, and maintain appropriate lore (ie keeping it as quest rewards, or soul-bound item drops).

My first suggestion would be to add stamps to all fb/bh dungeons:

fb19 - Lv.1 Darkness Stamp (4 rep) - 2% (currently in game)

fb29 - Lv.2 Darkness Stamp (5 rep) - 5% (currently in game)

fb39 - Lv.3 Darkness Stamp (6 rep) - 5% (currently in game)

fb49 - Lv.4 Darkness Stamp (7 rep) - 12% (currently in game)

fb59 - Lv.5 Darkness Stamp (8 rep) - 17% (currently in game)

fb69 - Lv.6 Darkness Stamp (9 rep) - add to all mobs 17%

fb79 - Lv.7 Darkness Stamp (10 rep) - add to all mobs 18%

fb89s - Lv.8 Darkness Stamp (11 rep) - add to all mobs 20%

fb99s - Lv.9 Darkness Stamp (12 rep) - add to all mobs 20%

This will improve bh help, as well as encourage fbs/bhs to be done without wine - for the full challange. People who like to solo, can still farm rep from lower level fbs and are not dependant on help, but generally the same effort is required to farm rep on your character regardless of alts-army abuse, or team member dependant. In addition, being such varied locations, players can mix it up to avoid getting bored.

If we had something like the above in place, I would also suggest removing wedding candy trade from hay + wine and removing them as a reward from wedding packs (doesnt make sense - but has been a good temporay solution).

Also (and this may be controversial) - I don't think rep should be craftable from mats, at the mat trader. One-man already has a rep reward, so perhaps that could be increased instead, as it makes more sense to gain renown from killing things then from trading materials.

As I have suggested the removal of 2 sources, then increasing the rep reward from stamps (ie doubling them so a Lv.9 gives 24 rep) or increasing the drop rate overall, would be recommended. However I would be cautious to make such a big leap, and recommend first the above (adding to all fbs), and then if it's seen it is needed, increase the drop rates later. That way there is no anxiety over the future, and no thoughts to save up the stamps "incase they double" and avoid drama/distrust.

So to summarise:

1. Add Darkness stamps to all fb dungeons (69+) listed above.

2. Remove candies and mat trade for rep.

3. Increase drop rates of all stamps, if required.

After a regular farm is established and finalised, then other one-time methods for rep can be looked at as additional options (eg quests ect).

You dont need to run the exact TT, just any TT that will drop the level mats you require. It is still a token system just a little more limited, so that all TT instances are relevant again.

In regards to "the old players" because we were the first ones to reach those levels to open each TT we actually had to do every single instance in our journey as we couldn't rely on higher levels to open the best instance. We were very under-geared and every TT was a challenge, to the point that most of us needed to donat our entire share of the tokens to gear up the tank or cleric. It took us hours to complete a full TT2-X run. By the time I was lvl 90, I only had a TT80 bow and no other TT gear. We never had it easy, and I would actually say that most things are easier for new players now.

Before today, it was extremely imbalanced that a level 100+ could run 3 bosses in TT3-3 and get 1000s of tokens for level 60+ players to use. It made any other TT instance for tokens irelevant. You'll find that this server is very helpful and giving, and many of them were happy to run TT3-3 for lower levels prior, and will still be happy to help you with running any other TT instance that you will need in the future.

That said, I forgot to remove the old TT Token forges inside TT, so you can continue to craft them the old way until it's patched.

sorry you disagree with MY personal experience.

12/21/21 04:12 to 04:30 MST

level 72 char

PW Database info for Lupine Berserker

Default Drop

# Name Default drop rate Real drop rate

1 Honey Juice 28.6907% 13.9315%

2 Rough Fur 17.4265% 8.7208%

3 Mystical Blood 15.4838% 7.7891%

after 15 minutes of farming

how many honey juice? ZERO

how many rough fur? ZERO

how many Mystical blood? 12

if level doesn't matter and the real drop rate is accurate:

This farming time should have produced 12 to 14 honey juice, 7 to 9 rough fur, and 6 to 8 mystical blood

100 mobs at 9.5 seconds per mob (counting run time/distance) is 950 seconds or 15.8 minutes

200 mobs at 5 seconds per mob is 500 seconds = 8.33 minutes

250 mobs at 4 seconds per mob is 1200 seconds = 16.66 minutes

300 mobs at 4 seconds per mob is 1200 seconds = 20 minutes -> should yield 18 to 24 rough fur regardless of how long it takes to kill them

-> every 11th to 16th kill should result in a desired mat drop however it doesn't for MY char but obviously does for others unless they are lying in faction chat about their farming results! either way i refuse to be lied to when I share MY PERSONAL experience and observations.

Display More

Lupine Berserker's don't drop Honey Juice and Rought Fur, so to get 0 of those, is expected. You can see what they do drop here: https://www.pwdatabase.com/my/mob/1256

So according to your maths, the mat it does drop (Mystical Blood) is accurate.

Also, it's quicker to use your mount to run between mobs/loot. Quicker if you're not a veno as you don't have to stash a pet, but high level venos have a lot of moment speed so it's not too bad for them.

Quote from aeerg

*Many times i have spent 2+ hours farming to get 17 to 20 of a specific mat while watching faction chat as others get 100+ in the same amount of time. - not complaining just stating MY experience!

Want to "balance the game"? figure out how and why some chars can farm 130+mats in 4 to 6 hours, allegedly without using a bot or duplicating script of some kind, and other can't get half that many in twice the amount of time! and by the way - pw database is NOT relevant, other than location of mob, for mat drops the percentage of items dropped listed is WAY wrong!

I can assure you that there is no hidden drop rate differencing between characters. It's all down to how quickly you can kill a mob, the drop rates are the same for everyone, but if you are 1-shotting mobs....you get the drops much more frequently. So from my experience, its much easer to target lower level mobs, with lower drop rate, as you can kill them far more quickly then the mobs with the highest drop rate.

In regards to PWdatabase, it goes by PWI's lastest info. PWI received an update which change most drops in the game many years ago, so the PWI version of the DB is not accurate for things such as crafting mats, and DQ mats. I would suggest using a website such as wayback machine, although jsut switching to MY version of PW database, which has the correct mobs.

To seach on PW database:

1. Search for the item using https://www.pwdatabase.com/

2. When you are on the correct page of the item you want (example: https://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/8112), on the top right of the website is a selection of flags, click the Malaysian flag (furthest to the right) to switch to MY drop rates. The url will change to something like: https://www.pwdatabase.com/my/items/8112 note the pwi - > my in the url.

3. The mobs that drop the item listed on MY will be correct to our version, but the names of mobs and name of the items may still differ on PW-MY, so I always search on the PWI (default) version, then switch to MY.

2) This was a bug after a patch to increase the max-stack size. Beta said he will have a quick fix for it when he returns home to his computer, so they will return soon!

3) In our version they are required to open the chests on the map with the mobs afaik. Lani added them as a reward and are for future content when the chest have better rewards. She's made a project with suggested rewards so keep an eye on it. For know I would save them until something is implemented. In regards, to the stacking, they definetly should be seperate stacks as they are 2 seperate items. I;ve tried to replicate it and havent been able to combine them, so it may have been a one-time bug for you. If it happens again, let me know.

4) This was discussed before, and we actually want to encourage players to do things together, reducing it to just 2 players would only make it easier for more solo play. There are definetly higher levels who would love to do TT with you (I for sure am one) so it's more an issue of player base rather then no-one wants to. Although the token turnaround for TT1-X vs TT3-X is crazy unbalanced, so it's something I will think about in the coming weeks.
