When i first saw the event i was so excited to play my islander, it gave me the incentive to get back on my islander and grind for candys, but honestly it is driving me insane to do so!between 30-50 candys an hour! I appreciate this event, im not trying to complain or annoy the staff but i was wondering if maybe you could increase the drop rate ONLY on maple island. We get one candy every 20-30 enemys we kill and you all know how slow it is killing enemys being an islander. If you made it so we could get between 100-150 an hour i would be gratefull. Right now off of maple island people can get between 300-600 an hour, and we can only get 50 it really will be hard to get any rewards on my islander with that kind of drop rate. Any other islanders care to share their thoughts? Staff as well!
I would like to add that this is false. As a Bishop and able to 50% 1 shot Skeles, I would say only 2-3 out of 15 drop Candies per Genesis. I'm quite positive I only earn between 200-250 Candies per hour. 1 shot players might be able to get 50 more on top of my figure. But of course, it would be nice in my opinion to increase the drop rate of Candies in Maple Island considering players in other World have better advantages. Just my two cents.
@Plenty gets up to 700 per hour. In henesys my I/L mage can do 300-350 if i dont stop to forum every 15 minutes. But yes an increased drop rate would be really nice,id like to see it made a little more fair for us islanders
I did a minor test (will test more tomorrow) and at Master Chronos I got between 300-400 an hour without using a pet. There are some places with better spawn I'm gonna go test, and I'll test skeles too. Just to confirm Plenty's claim. xD
I farmed for exactly an hour at Master Chronos on my marauder and got 90 candy. I know bishops/mages can easily get more- but those who aren't mages...have it a bit harder. I cant imagine an islander. lol
Wait really master chrones drop so many? okie change of farming location~ At my current location i only get about 100-120 per hr but i get good eq drops
Yay! I'm not a hacker! If it's strictly only Maple Island, I wouldn't mind the change. The drop rate outside of Maple Island is fine. Everyone needs to realize that this event is until the 31st which is more than enough time to get every reward 3 times over.
You might be using the wrong maps. I farm about 90 candies an hour at Hunting Ground I (Slimes) and slightly more at Tomato Field. I'm all for a drop rate increase (who isn't?) but the amount of candies I'm farming per hour is fine. Which maps were you using before? EDIT: I should also add that killing speed matters. Hunting Ground I has great spawn, and I consistently one-hit slimes, allowing for a very quick map clear. The same goes with Tomato Field, but that map bores me to sleep.
Iv been farming the tomato field because i one hit the snails. My bf today hit 70 candies in an hour, but still i find its way to low.
I just did the math- if someone wanted to get every single event exclusive item (excluding the sprinkled candy, attack potions, the NX weapon cover basket, attack potions, summon bags, AND the outfits available through cash shop)- they would need almost 13K candy. The average people are getting is about 100-200 per hour... (Based off of a consensus I got when I sent an in game notice asking for people to tell me their average per hour, job, level and where they were farming. The majority said 100 to 200) So estimated 150/hour. That'd take about 87 hours to get them all. Divided again by 30 for 30 days, and that'd be about 3 hours per day at the minimum to get just those items. There are some people (mages) who are able to farm much more than that. There are others who can't- either they're islanders, or just don't have a mage that can 1 shot an entire map and get several pieces of candy each hit. As I said, I spent an hour on my marauder earlier and got 90 pieces of candy circling the Master Chronos map over and over and over. I had about the same average at himes, and even less at skeles (partially because I kill skeles slower than I do master chronos for example).
Isn't the thread about islanders? Generally I dislike math based on one aspect of the game. It's clear that while training you also gain mesos which you could use to buy candles. Making you gain more candies per hour than mentioned above. With both aspects (economy and farming rate) less present on the island it might seem acceptable to increase the droprate for candies. Furthermore I know this is something to change as I have designed a dropsystem designed for these kind of global monster drops.
The math is the same for islanders or not, though. I was just pointing that out in reference to Plenty's comment about it being greed- and how everyone has time to get the rewards 3 times over. Maybe if you can spend 10 hours a day farming candles nonstop then yeah.
I was going more off topic for outside of Maple Island. If you could increase the drop chance of Candies for Maple Island based mobs, that could be a solution.
300-350 per 15min? That would mean you get 1200-1400 candies per hour… HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBIRU? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!!
