Update Drops (Vendor Rant)

Post by Savage0 » Fri Mar 26, 2021 1:33 pm

Ok, so I generally feel that the equipment (excludes rune .... cause that's not equipment) that monsters drop currently are crap.
Why do I think this?: Item Vendors. To clarify, people are clearly not buying s*** whatsoever (lines upon lines of equipment)
And it's all the same stuff! (I'm not saying make something like an opal set a common drop, but atleast make something like that uncommon/rare or something)

"Possible" ways to solve this flooding of items at Vendors
1: Give early monsters more uncommon (valuable) drops.
2: Early monsters (bouncer monsters excluded, except maybe spiked squishers) up to ummm Rafflesia, should have a rare chance of dropping a piece of an equipment set from the ooze factory at random (No, the bronze set should not be obtainable for free .... sorry, so everything that costs less than *that*) + No, they don't drop the WHOLE set, but maybe up to 2 pieces of it (flashbacks of Block Bots never dropping the Future Set for me ...)
3: All items should be sorted together by name, so comparison is easier (Hate seeing 1 odd musket after scrolling down like 3 pages of straw hats), still occurs after you specify "weapons" on the top ...
4: Place a level cap and a minimum of equipment that can be sold at that specific vendor. IE - Teplar Lv 5-20 equipment only, Alion City - Lv 30+ (until new area ... with a vendor.) (I know level requirements aren't shown on equipment, but is there a way to let this happen? + This unfortunately won't stop the 50+ straw hats, rip.)


TL;DR - Want to give the game's early leveled population more ways to sell/buy better equipment, other then relying on the selling of 200 straw hats or being lucky and finding a rune .... lmao.

Give your comments below if you agree, think im insane, completely wrong, a complainer (answer to that is yes, lul) or if ya'll have any suggestions of your own.
KONO DIA DA!

Forgot to include what I "hope" to happen if any of these are implemented ...

A: People decide to sell weak equipment in order to save up, instead of just shoving it in the vendor ...

B: People have an easier time getting higher leveled equipment.

C: Amount of items in the vendors decrease. (So basically this just ties back to A .... rofl)

D: These uncommon/rare items aren't shoved into the vendors in large quantities .... as their not common.

E: Less begging (No I'm just joking, I love to pick on the beggars lmao.)

F: Economic Depression.
KONO DIA DA!

1. Yeah, that's just a big no.

2. That's another big no.

3. Not a bad idea. I think I had already suggested this one, alongside having stuff being able to sort by price. Also, it would be nice to look up a specific item, instead of having to scroll until you find something.

4. Also a big no. If I'm over in Teplar and I want to sell something, I don't want to have to run over to another vendor just to sell something. If there's 50 straw hats in the vendor, then oh well, there's 50 straw hats.

1. I'm opposed to this, but not to the same extent as Jakub is. Personally I wouldn't mind some additional drops for the Spiked Squisher and Ground Spitter (which Robby had informed me were the worst monsters in terms of overall item value), but probably like the Carving Fork and the Long Bow for each monster respectively, but otherwise, eh, I would think Great Frogs and Auroch Beetles could use more help in the drops department than those guys.
2. No.
3. Yeah, that sounds about right.
4. No. I'd rather people still be free to pick whatever vendor they wish.

Mk, thanks for the feedback.
Hmmm, any suggestions on how it could be adjusted then? (while staying true to the objective ....)
