Yerteday I had to wait more than 12 hours just to finish my Berserk quest because a single guy killed all of the Griffeys for NX. Reduce the respawn time on those monsters but reduce their nexon drop or the nexon rate drop. It's very annoying having to wait in the same spot for hours just to unlock a skill. I get it's a nostalgia factor but at this point GMs had lower respawn rates, so to fix the NX farm issue just remove it or reduce it simple. IDK what you guys think.
I think the way it is currently is perfectly reasonable and you simply need to either A. be more patient B. invest more time to get the spawn on one of those 20 channels before the other person(s) do
Our respawn time are based on official sources. So I don't think we will adjust it because some players want to farm it for NX.
Some bishops in old source had to wait for weeks to months before they could get their genesis skill due to scarcity of Manons and competition for Manon's cry. Waiting for few hours upto days doesn't seem too bad for a crucial skill.
Agree with OP, each boss has its own function, Griffey should not be hunt for NX as it is for job advance and skills stuff... Manon is for job advance and HT preQ If you want NX or exp, go hunt other boss like Bigfoot, Anego, Samurai, HH ... those are famous area bosses for good exp and NX! The same for Manon! My opinions are, telling people to wait for what they need is not a good excuse for such a bad game design, Griffey and Manon should not drop NX!
I only think this would be a problem is the boss spawns aren't great, i.e. something like Pianus' spawn time. But Manon and Griffey are on 3 hour (+- 36 min) spawn times ffs. What would be the point of "bosses" if they spawned all the time? Yeah, they'd have to alter the nx drop rate, they'd have to deal with easy access to bossing exp, and probably even more map camping issues for farming the nx either way. TL.DR - suck it up and play the damn game instead of trying to get spoonfed.
While I don’t support the idea of shortening the wait time for the bosses. I think we should just remove the NX from their drop pool all-together. Now ill spin that sentence around and tell all the nx farmers to stop getting spoonfed as there are so many other nx bosses to kill. Griffy and manon are farmed for quests, SBs and even energizers. Nx farmers have many other bosses to hunt. But the others above, the majority of the server, needs these specific bosses.
How are they getting spoonfed if they go out and look for available bosses? Sure there are lots of other bosses to farm, but they also get farmed just as quickly. Nx farmers just go around killing bosses which isn't "spoonfeeding" while this thread is about wanting to make an already simplified (needing kill, not the Manon cry itself now) essentially always accessible for them. Like others have said, they've had to camp channels for multiple hours and every time I've gone looking for a Manon, I always find at least one. Also, the exp from Manon/Griffey is absolute trash which is also another incentive not to hunt them over other bosses. At this point, why not just remove them from the game then? Just play the damn game. If something is honestly too hard, fair but this is just belly aching over "I want everything all the time when I want it"
Pretty much all the quest bosses are on the 3 hour respawn timer which seems fine to me. People would still farm them for scrolls and skillbooks even if they nerfed the nx droprate. When I did quest specialist on my corsair there were only two area bosses I actually had to wait for and one of them was Mano lol
12 hours isn't all that bad, but I think the problem is you were searching at peak times, or were unlucky and people were ahead of you in the channel surfing and killed it. I also personally don't think 12 hours is all that bad, but my bar is set insanely low considering I've spent like 8 years looking for a mount on WoW and still haven't found it. lol Aren't Griffey and Manon in the boss sacks though? Might be a way around the lack of spawns.
Not in any sacks I know about. Black Sack: Jr. Balrog Brand New Monster Galore: Mano Stumpy King Clang Dyle Tae Roon Eliza Snowman
My bad, I thought all non big bosses were in that second bag. Both times I've used it it's killed me instantly lol
