Claystones' Drop Issues

Post by Flashlight237 » Tue Apr 20, 2021 5:03 pm

Could be part of the whole rushed deal, but I think the Claystone's droplist is a bit of a pitfall. From what I've seen, these are the following drops.:
  • Twig
  • Wood Gem Wand
  • Tribal Spear
  • Wood Gem Staff
  • Ferreter Bow
  • Romance Bow (claimed; unconfirmed, likely mixed up with Mandrakes
  • Fractured Axe
While I don't know the full story here, from what I've gotten, there's a bit of a lack of items that sell for between $100 and $10,000 here. Not a whole lot of incentive because usually the junk drops (ex. Epees in Auroch Beetles) and mid-tier drops (ex. Moonlight Sickles and Insect Wings) of a monster are what keep people on a roll when it comes to farming monsters. It's like a lure or something.

I'm thinking about replacing one of the drops listed here with a Nature Bow and a Survival Pack. I'm thinking the Ferreter Bow would be the best pick as to which drops to replace with the Nature Bow and Survival Pack (I mean what's a metallic bow doing in there in the first place?). These are the full worth values of the three items:

Ferreter Bow: $51861
Nature Bow: $9676
Survival Pack: $1431

I mean with how drops work, a Fractured Axe set at a drop rate of 1% has nearly the same relative value as a Princess Dress that has a drop rate of 100%.

If my math is correct, to maintain the Claystone's value while allowing the replacement items to help incentivize farming, here's what I feel the drop rates of the replacement items should be.:

Nature Bow: 4x drop rate of Ferreter Bow
Survival Pack: 9.2x drop rate of Ferreter Bow

Doing the math, I got the following values for the combined replacement value.:

(4*9676)+(9.2*1431)=51869.2

That should hopefully help the Claystone's chances out a little. Granted there's an $8 monster value increase, but that's pretty negligible (just an increase of 1/6483 of the Ferreter Bow's share in the Claystone's value), so why not?

Thank for the list!

I've got a Romance Bow by killing a Mandrake only, never got it from a Claystone.

I just got a H1 or H2 from our clay guy. Not exactly sure which one I got since I had some H1 and H2 in my inventory.
