a decent percentage of the player base doesn't even know where it comes from (nautilus and cbd) due to its value and also being one of the most dominant items in the market, all it wants is to shine when gach'd
IMO while it should be low on the totem pole (pun intended) gach notices need to be fully reworked overall to actually reflect the rarity in our game opposed to on gMS.
Here's all the ones that trigger gachs I can think of: Use: Chaos Scroll 60% - Mushroom Shrine White Scroll - NLC Equip: Dragon Carabella - Perion Dragon Claymore - Perion Dragon Mace - Perion Dragon Flame - Perion Dragon Axe - Perion Dragon Battle Axe - Perion Dragon Faltizan - Perion Dragon Hellslayer - Perion Dragon Slash Claw - Nautilus Dragon Revolver - Nautilus Dragon Wand - Ellinia Dragon Staff - Ellinia Dragon Shiner Bow - Henesys Dragon Shiner Cross - Henesys Purple Dragon Sleeve - Kerning City Green Dragon Sleeve - Kerning City Dragon Kreda - Kerning City Dragon Kanzir - Kerning City Dragon Khanjar - Showa Sky Ski - Showa Crushed Skull - Perion Stonetooth Sword - NLC Elemental Wand 2 - Showa Elemental Wand 5 - NLC Elemental Wand 6 - Mushroom Shrine Elemental Wand 7 - CBD Elemental Wand 8 - Ellinia Elemental Staff 1 - NLC Elemental Staff 2 - Ellinia Elemental Staff 3 - Mushroom Shrine Elemental Staff 4 - CBD Elemental Staff 5 - Sleepywood Elemental Staff 6 - Perion Elemental Staff 7 - Showa Elemental Staff 8 - Henesys White Raccoon Mask - CBD Raccoon Mask - Sleepywood Yellow Adventurer Cape - Showa Pink Adventurer Cape - Perion Purple Adventurer Cape - Ellinia Pink Gaia Cape - Kerning City Purple Gaia Cape - Mushroom Shrine Taru Spirit Cape - Perion Canopus Helmet - Nautilus Canopus Boots - Nautilus Canopus Suit - Nautilus Canopus Gloves - Nautilus Brown Work Gloves - Henesys ETC: Bluish Material - Perion Stump Eraser - Perion
We'll look into this when we have the time. Thanks for bringing it up (and I personally agree as well)!
While you guys are at it, remove the pirate armor pieces from the nautilus gacha notifications, they are the only lvl 110 armor set that gets a smega, even tho they are basically never in use, and usually go straight to NPC.
This isn't something we are intending to look into at the moment. Our plates are full with Halloween. But we will probably be looking into how to better decide on which items to announce, since any items obtained should be generally considered as a jackpot. For example, i won't consider a 3wa pgc to be a jackpot, as compared to 6wa. Nor would I consider totem to be a jackpot (I was convinced by member of staff on this) as it's subjected to market fluctuation and server meta.
Yes, some items are only subjectively good, but lol, lvl 110 pirate armor is objectively not pratical
first of all, I have to thank you guys for taking the time to look into these small QOL changes while having so much on the table, I really mean it, your idea of the gm blog opened eyes for me and many other players and it is not taken for granted. now for the subject, well, totem is subjected to market fluctuation but in reality, any item is subjected to market fluctuation, I think you should be giving an announcement to items that has value in the meta and that represent what the market is about, items that are being used daily and will not lose value due to simply being required, either for crafting or for end game gear, if you give announcement only to items that you consider "jackpot" you will disclude a lot of items that are a huge part of our market, such as for example: all erasers - whether if it's a 50m eraser or a 500m, it is an important requirement to create an alchem ring hence why it will always keep value. another example, just to emphasize my theory, would be to remove all the announcements on elemental staffs while keeping the announcements only on wands 5,6,7,8 simply because they are a very important part of any mage endgame gear, while elemental staffs could be used by some(or the lower level elemental wands), it's value will always be low because the demand and the importance of those in the meta do not exist. anyhow, whether you choose to announce items based on pure meso value like you said or do it the way I represented above, in both ways, you would have to remove a lot of the current pointless items that are being npced pretty much straight away.
