Hi, I'm making this thread to help give the gm's an idea about the drop rate of golden eggs and the community's view on it. Personally, I think it's a bit low. I hope everyone else will help contribute as well! Please use this format: Job: Level: Map: Time Spent Farming: Eggs Received: I'll start. Job: Bishop Level:153 Map: Wolfspiders (1hit) Time Spent Farming: About 4 hours Eggs Received: 9
I'll add my latest 2 grinding sessions to this list: Job: Dragon Knight Level: 70-75 Map: Wolf Spiders Time Spent Farming: 2 hours Eggs Received: 3 Job: Bishop Level: 156-157 Map: Wolf Spiders Time Spent Farming: 5.5 hours Eggs Received: 25 Total eggs since start of the event: 65 + 1 + 1 (3 different characters)
Job: Fire / Poison Arch Mage Level: 167 Map: Memory Lane 1 1st Hour: Eggs Received: 4 2nd Hour: Eggs Received: 3 3rd Hour: Eggs Received: 2 (Will update this post per hour until I move on to a dif map. )
Job: Bishop/AM Level:146/130 Map: Ulu City Center (petris) Time Spent Farming: 2 hour+ Eggs Received: 0 We're duo-ing a petri map and we haven't seen a single egg spawn here
today: Job: Bishop Level: 155 Map: Ulu City Center (Petrifighters) Time spent farming: 1 hour 30 minutes Eggs received: 1 also Map: Deep Sea Gorge 2 (mostly Gobies, some Bone Fish) Time spent farming: 2 hours Eggs received: None thoughts: awesome event, I love the great rewards we're getting here especially in comparison to the totally lame lunar new year/valentines events, I love how it's so easy to obtain eggs in the vast majority of .62's maps, I love how the final reward for exchanging 100 eggs is an awesome chair, I r8 8/8 gr8 job m8s
Yesterday: Job:Bishop Level: 146 Map: Wolf Spiders Time Spent Farming: 2 hours Eggs Received: 11 And Also: Job: Bishop Level: 146 Map: Wriaths Time Spent Farming: 2 hours Eggs Received: 7 I'm about 30 eggs from the chair in 3 days so not bad!
Spent another ~3.5 hours at Deep Sea Gorge 2, and I think you can guess how many Golden Eggs I got.... zero! How wonderful. Definitely am completely happy with the drop rate the way it is. One thing needs to be changed though: Wolf Spider droprate should obviously be buffed, because as we can all see, eggs don't drop there nearly frequently enough.
Just for a bit of clarity, the way the Egg spawn works is only when the map spawns monsters, not when a monster spawns more monsters, as is the case with monsters like Lycanthropes, boss monsters... and Bombing Fish Houses. You picked a horrible map to farm them, and it's probably something we won't change, seeing as Deep Sea Gorge 2 is already probably the most unbalanced map in the game anyway.
I'm sure that's why the Petrifighter map has such an awful egg spawn rate as well. (FYI I'm not training on Gobies because of the event; I've been training on gobies since 130 because they're a) relatively unpopular, meaning no map selling bullshit and b) provide a good income without selling leech. If you couldn't tell already, I don't give a fuck about this current event and think it's pretty hilarious the way it's been implemented.)
Seeing the only entry in this log that is a non mage class is my own dragon knight when it was lvling from 70 to 75, it's hard to tell as I obviously didn't kill many monsters per hour. I would love to see some more feedback entries from non mage classes to see what their rates are like to have a more realistic idea of how they experience the event.
I got about 1-2 eggs in about 2-3 hours grinding at fog on my spearman. Level: 4x Map: FoG Eggs per Hour: little less than one
Actually, the Petrifighter map has such an awful spawn rate because we know that 12/12 channels are taken 50% of the day, and we didn't want to give mindless archmage/bishop leeching and grinding another advantage. Skelegons are also nerfed the same way. After all, why should you be able to get good exp, get good income, and complete this event? We might as well hand things out for free because you won't have to do anything special for your reward. We did this at an attempt at balance, something you clearly don't appreciate. Have you tried a vast majority of maps? Because it seems like you've only tried Gobies, and seen that Wolf Spiders (a common high-spawn high-traffic area that we didn't touch) is really good. If you don't care for our event, please kindly tell us why, or I'll request that you stop posting meaningless rageposts in this thread.
And I'm sure that's why the Wolf Spider and Ulu 1/2/Ghost Ship maps have such great egg turnout as well, right? As for reasons for me thinking this event is a mess, you need do no more than simply read anything I've said on the subject. I can sense the butthurt in this thread so I'll listen to your request to stop shitposting here.
We left those maps alone because they're not end-game training spots like the others are. Nerfing those maps makes this event even harder on characters that are not fourth job. You've expressed already that this event is unfair; it would only make it more unfair to nerf the maps that lower level characters can take advantage of. I only sense it from one poster in this thread.
