Removed Blighted Equiptment and Crystals from Necroflies, Fyakki and Taratulas, they are also no longer considered Withered Aegis.

*cheers*

It's about time - maybe the new crystals will have some value for some time.

Removed Blighted Equiptment and Crystals from Necroflies, Fyakki and Taratulas, they are also no longer considered Withered Aegis.

Great news - get this to live as soon as possible!

I don't think this made the release notes anywhere, but we also quintupled (that's 5 times) the drop rate for blighted equipment (it was really really low). Blighted equipment formula drop rate was also increased.

Really? It dropped an awful lot as it was. Now, it will probably drop about every kill.

Why not increase the drop rate of comps a bit, too, while you are at it? At least the ridiculously rares, like vex fringes, abom chest skulls, ogre toes, etc.

Good to see this finally happen, shoulda happened a long time ago.

what's wrong with this picture?



Yep, a level 40 (thats a difference of 60 levels) old world crystal is still supieror to the new ones. that is if you don't eat it, and socketing them is the pretty much the whole purpose of crystals.

Why are they so low? Grated they probably are the more common drops, but so were the old crystals.

The weapon/tool resist crystals haven't been adjusted yet

[LaughingOtter]

Nah. That's one you might as well eat - even though the 3,000 XP won't do you a lick of good, since you have to be level 100 to use it....

so they will be on live in their unfixed form then. any idea what kind of numbers those will be when they are fixed?

[PJ]

Not sure, if I had to hazard a guess, same/similarvalues as the armor/jewelry resist crystals
