I am here to make a petition in regards to the blatantly unfair drop rate of lv 80 female thief bottoms in comparison to their male counterparts. This is clearly a decision by the patriarchy to keep female thieves at a disadvantage from their male thieves, and I will not stand for this blatantly sexist and misogynist practice that Royals is currently a part of... Okay, on a serious note though, the drop rate for Pirate skirts is really bad, especially since the spawns of the mobs that dropped them are nerfed since new source. It seems kinda silly to me how much easier it is to obtain male thief bottoms than it is female, and I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that. Sure, Master Death Teddies drop two types of pirate skirts, but not only is the map really large and spawn really low, you can no longer warp to the top through the fm, so the map is really difficult to move around the map efficiently now. This pretty much leaves blue kentaurus's as the only real option, since the rest of the drops are from other deep ludi maps, or mobs that don't have a large spawn rate, and even then the drop rate from kentaurus isn't particularly good either (only like 2 in an hour and a half). Now, let's compare this to pirate pants. Red Pirate Pants and Dark Pirate Pants drop drop from Veetrons and Slimy's respectively, which are both among the most farmed enemies in the entire game. Now I'm not saying that Pirate skirts need to drop as much as pirate pants, but like, seriously though maybe a little buff in skirt drops couldn't hurt, maybe make at least 1 commonly farmed mob drop Skirts or something, idk. Obviously this isn't a huge priority atm for the server, but maybe it's something that could be considered, because I wouldn't think slightly modifying the drop rate of enemies would be particularly difficult in my opinion. Curious on what other people think about this. Thanks!
I spent sooo long farming mobs for my top and bottom. I know the pain lol. I always wished it dropped somewhere more frequent, then Gobies became popular and Blue Mystiques became popular with that. But they're not as good as pirate top/skirts still too.. I wish they dropped in more common areas, too.
I don't truly foresee changes in the drop tables for mobs to add additional places for the skirts to drop. The only way to make skirt farming a more viable option is to pay a premium price for acquiring such gear. Not many people would be willing to pay more money for such things, so unfortunately farming them on your own is the best option. To increase efficiency, you could always ask friends to help you out to make the most use of the bigger maps with low spawn rates. P.S. What happened to the comment with the lady's face and the wizet hat on it?
I know royals is generally against having custom content but what about a crafting system for armors as well that is kinda like how weapons are made right now? You use lower leveled equips to upgrade into a higher tier with the potential to have it turn godly & whatnot. Mystique drops are somewhat common & could be turned into the level 80 equips? Obviously this would work with other gear for other classes that could be good, but just off of what has been said here, this could be a decent idea?
You mean basically the maker system? I absolutely loved it when it came out, all the npc fodder was actually useful, would be cool in royals but "nostalgia" keeps a closed mind, but it was introduced in v.73 I believe so maybe they would add it who knows...
Maker skill would be kinda cool, I've played servers with it before and I've always found it to be a welcomed feature. Although, it might mess with the current market place and overall prices of some items, so idk...
They're not as common but there's not the demand for them so they're cheaper. As a general rule that's the trade off for playing a female character. Your best bet is making a forum post looking for them and to occasionally smega about it. People find em, they might remember your posts and sell to you instead of NPC'ing it. I'd also be curious to see what the ration of male:female players on this server (and what it was like on GMS/SEA/EMS). Not to be the whole guys-play-videogames person, but if you look around the forum a LOT of accounts I see are "male", and people tend to make characters like themselves. It's very possible the original drop tables (on GMS, etc) were designed to reflect the population who played, and I would wager the player pop here is pretty close to what it was during pre2005-2008. Less girls playing, less girl characters, less need for drops for female toons. However, I'm not against adjusting the drop tables in such a way though... if monster X drops "male top 1", if should drop the the equivalent "female top 1" too, and do this across the board. So it become a matter of "alright so these mobs drop the black lvl80 pirate tops, lets go here". More drops for you, and whatever, the same amount of stuff to NPC for everyone else (although, I would intend the drop rate as a whole stays the same, so farming might take longer to get the specific drop, the whole 1 drop every 10 kills, would roughly hit 1 male and 1 female per 20 kills, ya know? If that math makes sense)
