Farming Horntail elixirs has become impossible with recent updates to quest items. This may not be an issue to some, but it's a real pain in the neck to the people who run this boss frequently. More than half of the time, last minute everyone scrambles to find a Manon, leaving the entire possibility of the run even happening on RNG (praying there is one alive in a channel). It's even worse for people who have mules. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Is it not possible to make this quest an exception to the new quest items update? Maybe make the ETCs trade-able if you don’t want to revert back. Do something to make it more bearable for us. If the staff is truly trying to implement more QoL changes for the player base, this one should not be overlooked. For a boss that already takes a good amount of time to organize and run, nobody wants to be kept waiting longer while the rest of the party waits inside for you to finish farming your elixir.
Relevant: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/revert-quest-item-loot-restriction.223272/#post-1353620 If we're going to be stuck with this new system, then I would like to see some exceptions made, such as the HT prequest in terms of looting more skins. I don't think it's fair to the player base considering the system that we had before.
Just make the elixer quest required just for the first time and free elixers after… like bartols warp cards.
We've recently discussed this within staff and decided against reverting the dropsystem. We feel like not being able to overloot quest items in general and reactors not droping quest items for quests that arent active are a good changes. HT's prequest is a bit of a special case. Players have been told to be prepared to do party bosses before and the change made being prepared to HT somewhat more tedious. Therefore we also discussed this case seperately. We did consider to make Dragon Skins tradeable. Ultimately the majority decided against that, because for those preparing one char for HT the effort still seems manageable and from those who want to mule or multiattack in HT it is expected to put in the extra effort. Nevertheless, thanks for your feedback. Let's be happy we do not need Manon's Cry.
