Hello, your friendly neighbourhood cow here. Since the introduction of 10% face / eye accessories scrolls to Von Leon bonus, the loot from Scarga aside from helms have become obsolete. I feel like the duo needs a little bit of love from the community. With an addition of a rare drop to both bosses would incentivize players back to this content, and it would encourage players to recruit more people (increasing player interactions) to do both bosses at once. Wouldn't it be awesome to have the chance to get a back to back rare drop in a single run? Now the question is, what rare drop should be added to their loot table? Personally, the best option I can come up with would be Pink Gaia Cape (rng for godly, more interesting), and second to that would be Taru Totem. Everything else already drops from other bosses, and each have their own purposes. Let me know what you think, hope this helps improve Scarga's reputation, it's the only one left now that The Boss drops Brown Work Gloves and Toad drops Sky Ski.
tend to agree that they need something nice to their drop table. I dont really like the idea of pgc feels like its too much for a low level boss, potentially you can get a 9 clean pgc which at least to me is too much reward for a pretty easy boss. If they were to drop them ill probably start soloing scar daily, which I'm not sure is an indication for something good.
I completely agree with OP except for the PGC shout, which to me seems a bit too strong of a drop for a midgame boss. Scarga are difficult to kill together especially for non end game players, if they both got an exp buff that alone would increase their attraction, maybe not on par with zakum, but close to it would be enough. as for the drop, for tradable I would definetly go with taru, I feel like a rare (not very) totem drop represents well the difficulty of scarlion and targa. If we go for something a bit more creative, maybe staff could look at adding an untradable drop that does not drop every run, kind of like ifia ring drops from the golem boss in rose garden, maybe a maple leaf? int or luk from targa and dex or str from scarlion, one at a time and not every run. (just a thought)
This was implemented in update #81 , which has already been nearly 3 years since. It's not far fetched for the PGC suggestion in my opinion, considering PAC is now included into Balrog's drop table, being a semi-early game content that's usually duo-able. It comes down to the fine tuning of it's drop chance, for example, a 1% drop chance for PGC. Which means 1/100 for a single boss, 1/50 for both bosses, 1/25 for both runs and both bosses. On top of the 5% chance for godly, that'd be 1/2000 for a single boss, 1/1000 for both bosses, 1/500 for both runs and both bosses. Additionally I'd also suggest a guaranteed 5k from the boss itself, similarly to Toad, would greatly improve the player experience doing Scarga.
That's not exactly how statistics work but I generally agree. There isn't much motivation to run scarga. The exp is mid, the drop table is lackluster. I think a pgc drop is a little op for how easy the boss is. I agree something like a taru totem as a rare drop and maybe an increased 5k drop rate and a bit more exp would make running scarga more enticing.
Making face/eye 10%s from VL bonus rarer might also help - there's overall very low demand for them, with just a spike of demand when they originally came out. By now the market's had time to settle and they've been dropping hard as VL keeps getting cleared and people keep running scarga. They're not a huge component of VL box value, and making them rarer would hopefully push up the price anyways, so I think it could be a fair compromise.
Make it drop boss worthy NX (6350 - 11350) consistently rather than the meager 350 it usually drops and I would kill it for that alone. As it currently stands why would I even waste my time with this boss when I can make more NX from Dyle in a fraction of the time and zero effort.
