An Era Ends - Adjustments to Land Kings (4/20/11)

Post by Mahoro »

There's a lot of bitching on the forums about this, but I don't really see the huge deal. I see mostly positive consequences since many people I know sit on KS's. Granted, yes the BB item drop rate adjustment stinks. But hey, now we can do more KS99 LS events and pop Nidhogg/KB/Aspid whenever we want. I guess that's the SH side of me, seeing potential for new events from revitalized old content. :P

[dev1009] New Trigger Conditions for Notorious Monsters

* Trigger conditions for following notorious monsters will be adjustedto spawn by trading specific items to the “???” in the respective area.

Fafnir / Nidhogg: Dragon’s Aery
Behemoth / King Behemoth: Behemoth’s Dominion
Adamantoise / Aspidochelone: Valley of Sorrows

- The ”???” will respawn a minute after the battle is over.
- The NM will despawn if unclaimed for 90 seconds at the spawned location.
- The feature wherein the level of these monsters will increase after battling them for a period of time will remain unchanged.

* How to obtain the trigger items:

Fafnir: Treasure from “Early Bird Catches the Wyrm”
Behemoth: Treasure from “Horns of War”
Adamantoise: Treasure from “The Hills are Alive”
* At least one of these items will be dropped in every battle.

Nidhogg: Treasure dropped by Fafnir
King Behemoth: Treasure dropped by Behemoth
Aspidochelone: Treasure dropped by Adamantoise

* The treasures dropped by the following notorious monsters will be adjusted as follows:

Fafnir : Wyrm Beard removed
Nidhogg : Drop rate of Wyrm Beard decreased
Behemoth : Behemoth Tongue removed
King Behemoth : Drop rate of Behemoth Tongue decreased
Adamantoise : Adamantoise Egg removed
Aspidochelone : Drop rate of Adamantoise Egg decreased

Way to change this a year after most of their gear became irrelevant.

Unless SE is planning to upgrade Abjuration with synergy or magian trials (as they have implied they are planning with Limbus/Salvage), I pretty much concur with Strange. Outside of Black belt (which is why the outrage), D Ring and situationally E bodies and certain Heca pieces, I dont really see any king drops being worth it at our current level. With 9 levels to go, the gear will possiblly become even more irrelevant here on out.

Just to clarify some questions that have been popping up regarding these adjustments, KSNM99 BCs will continue to drop black belt-related quest items.

Also, another bit of important information you might like to know, the triggers needed to spawn Fafnir/Behemoth/Adamantoise will be tradeable.
Good thing the LS bank hasn't been hit TOO hard from Ningishzida/Amarok/Dhorme Khim pops. :mrgreen:
