    Suggestion to increase the amount of Minor zombies spawned in Dead Mine 1-4.
    Why?
    1. Golden teeth has a really low drop rate, which is a an essential item to complete one of the three Zakum Pre-Quest.

    2. an Avrg of 7 to 15 zombies per map, Which not makes it harder but time consuming to travel from one map to another. ~f8

    3. Its better off to have more spawned in a map, than a fix in the drop rate of the server.

    4. An increase in the supply (G. Teeth) will decrease the demand, in another words; a drop in price, making it affordable & profitable at the same time.
    a win win scenario.

    Notes: I'm just trying to say that I would rather enjoy my time, than farm 2 gold teeth in an hour.

    We all had to do it and that's how it was in GMS, I don't see a problem here.

    Also it's faster to stay in one map than travel through all four. (I find the second map to be the best.)

    Everything Chicken Stix says.

    The drop rate is fine as is, even the price for buying teeth from other players is reasonable. And yeah, dead mine 2 is the best place to farm.

    The drop rate seems lower than in GMS, is there some reason that specific item isnt boosted by the drop rate increase, I mean every other item is easier to find. It takes way too long to find them. I leveled in 7x from the zombies and still didnt have 30 I do not remember it taking nearly that long. Most other quest items seem to have the same increase in drops besides pigs heads(but who cares about that) and gold teeth. Nependeath honey is easier to find than a single golden tooth, it just seems so out of place comparatively to other drops.

    Gold teeth

    So, I'd like to start of by saying that I was at Dead Mine II for over 90 minutes and in this time I got 4 gold teeth. I'm only level 50, so it takes a while before I kill one, and the spawn is already really low. And if I do the maths right that would be 7 hours and 15 minutes until I get the 30 gold teeth. I'm either too low to farm, or I have really bad luck. Therefore I'd like to suggest to either increase the drop rate to what it should be or either increase the spawn ratio. (I remember spending about 1 to 2 hours on finding 30 at level +/- 50. Not 7 hours.

    This has already been discussed both here and here and there won't be a change to the droprate or spawn.

    You were pretty lucky, then. :o It took me way longer in gMS at Level 50.

    And, as Vic said, it's been discussed more than once. We won't be changing the drop rate.

    Thanks for showing me threads I already visited. I too am capable of the search option. The reason why I made another thread myself is because when there's more than one people suggesting the same case you higher the chance of it happening. The reason for me suggesting this is because I don't understand why it would be so much worse than ems/gms. And trust me, I did this gathering quest more than enough to know how long it should take.

    Also, after people complaining about the equipment drop rate in GMS, after numerous times of it being declined, GMS at one point decided to higher the equipment drop rate. This was due to the amount of threads that had been placed on their forums. Therefore they also decreased the amount of mesos you would get for selling an equip.

    Just because I like to proof my point:

    EMS did the same thing following up the suggestions after many peoples wishes.

    You don't need to hit the search button for me.

    PS: Yes I am aware this is MapleRoyals, I was only trying to proof a point whereas suggesting something multiple times could increase the chance of something to happen.

    Threads merged. No need for separate threads.

    Not sure why these threads get shut down when plenty of people agree. From what i can see, the people who say the droprate is "fine" are people who've already completed the quest and therefore dont want it to be more reasonable for others. But hey, why make this quest less obnoxious when you can just use your bishop to find 30 in an hour, right?...right??

    PS ive farmed 30 myself as a 8x hermit and I still believe there should be an increase because the amount of time I spent there was just plain not fun

    The threads are not 'shut down'. There just isn't enough feedback from the community to justify changing it at the moment.

    I would *love* to see an increase in the drop rate of Gold Teeth because I hate how low it is, but... if the majority of players are happy with the drop rate as it is, then we go along with what the majority want. I'm prepared to roll with that.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. They probably feel bothered that they had worked more than we would have to, if there was in fact a change to this.
    Why make it this much harder than the original, rather than it being like the old original what we came for.

    I honestly must of gotten lucky, because it didn't take long for me to farm them. I remember going there with Chelsea and we were able to farm 16 rather quickly while we were gathering ETC drops to level up my new character. I then went back and farmed the remaining 14 teeth in about an hour.

    Must be only me though....

    I'm level 52 now, spend a total of 2 hours finding 6. I guess I'm either too weak or you're really lucky.

    That's because you are level 52, f3. It would be harder for you to clear the map.
    I think this drop rate is justified because everyone is experiencing the drop rate. So its equal for everyone.

    But it's not equal to the drop rates of other items. I'm finding more spell book drops than I was golden teeth. The amount of spell books I find is ridiculous I cant even give them away and to me they should be much more valuable than golden teeth.

    Spend 7 hours grind in Dead Mine II with my CB...
    and i find 15 gold teeth and then i give up off the quest.
    I just buy the Eye of Fire because i dont have more pacience to try find this items.

    I think the drop rate or respaw ratio will be increase.

    The others quest is no too hard to get the itens,
    why this is more then hard of others quests?

    I'm willing to increase the droprate by 10 or 20% at most for the gold teeth. But that is all. I think that is a fair compromise.
