BALRONS

[ArchSage]

i propose the balron spawn time be reduced, since they're the only creatures available for major income. either that, or place new creatures with large sums of money in markable areas. =) its only fair. farming the same old grey demon all day, and competition farming with pretty much anyone who wants money doesn't seem fair. k thanks!! <3

There are 8 markable spots for balrons in tram. 3 unmarkable in blood, 2 in fan dancer dojo, 2 near Montor, and a couple in Terethan Keep that i think can't be marked ... then there are balrons in the same tram locations, but in fel... I am pretty sure that, if a balron location is being camped, you can just go to one of these other locations to farm. If you go to fel you'll get an ointment or 2 off every one, also.

the markable locations are what im concerned about.
every other location would take time to walk to, and time for respawn.

There are more then just balrons to make gold off of, Yamadon, Lurgs, Rune Beetles, fan Dancers. More then just one place to make gold, BLack Lich, Dread mare, Scorpion king.... lots of thigns to do while you wait for balrons to respawn. rrest of us did it and found ways around it

Word

Can also get bees going, invest in the exex marketplace. safebets and token farming.

With your regular farm fest that should add up pretty quickly. Be creative

Some minautores: +10000 gold, minautores scout +5800 gold, Shadow casters +15000 gold, most doom foes +5000 gold + chance to an artie, most Sgail spawn +3000 gold and often oinments, most peerless bosses have +5000 gold and elven notes worth 30000-40000 gold. Champ spawns also give decent gold + Scrolls. Completing the GoC quest was also a decent and challenging way to get gold until it got butchered.

Boss, you are asking him to suicide more than make gold hehehe.... he will spent more gold retrieving corpse + insurance than actually making that much gold. Umbris camp was a nice place until it was shot down **sniff* bring back umbris camp!! And back to topic, there are a lot of things to kill other than Balrons, if you got a good team of imps and got ok/above average gear then head out to twisted weald (mushroom cave). You can still make some gold there and is not as crowded since they revamped the area. Good luck mate!

Don't forget Lurgs by the Hidden Valley @3500 to 4500 gold plus the 2 Sphynx spawns in the Ilshenar desert at 9,000 to 11,000 gold. In the Citadel, Black Order Mages, Grand Mage, and the other 2 bosses plus the Turnkey all drop over 1k each and repsawn quite generously and for some reason are sometimes left alone for hours. These are all easy targets for anyone who can take on a balron.

The umbris camp has not been removed. It's closed for construction and some tweaking to streamline how it runs on our end. +V and I are hoping to get it up and running again in the next couple of weeks.

That is great news!

i appreciate the feedback this thread has gotten. =)

still, i see no harm or over complicated work into reducing the balron spawning times, if even slightly. I'm not trying to be pushy or picky or whatever negative adjective. It would just make farming gold and sharing balron spots easier. since they're pretty much the top of the list on everyody's to-kill list.

Well, think about it this way:

It isn't really a matter of the amount of work it would take to enact the change, it's about the way it would affect the shard. Reducing the spawn time on all the balron spawns could potentially mean millions and millions of extra gold in the economy every day. Keeping inflation down is something we work hard at, and making respawns faster on recallable mobs that drop large chunks of gold is counterproductive to that effort. While it seems like nothing more than a quick change to some spawners to make the players happy, it could drastically affect the economy of the shard. Things like this can seem insignificant and miniscule, but can have massive and long-lasting effects on the shard as a whole. Nobody would be happy if inflation got completely out of hand here, and this is why we don't just reduce spawn timers because some (or even many) of you may want it.

Hope that explanation helps

Spawn times are fine, is it doom or blood dungeon that has like 3 next to each other? - anyway, if meleeing them by time you've killed all three the 1st one has respawned.. thats surely quick enough?!...

i've started venturing out futher and seeing what i can 1vs1 melee against and i gotta say its hilarious not knowing what ill be fine against and which will result in a grey screen ha!

try the dread mare north of malas umbra. they a fun one they drop special rare loot. a rare instrument that looks like a coffin. they fun to melee
