Jade drop rate

Post by bearman »

Hi there

Please can someone from the staff explain to me the reason for such a low drop rate for the jade GOC piece?
I work nearly every day and get very little play time. I have spent the last 3 nights trying to get this one item.
I've been there over 16 hours, As you can imagine this is not fun. It's hard enough to get into the place as it is
then you have to go against the long spawn time for the monster to kill then against the incredibly low drop
rate for the item. I would quite happily pay 500k for this thing but I can't as the item has been made account
locked. I don't want the item to be easily got as there would be no challenge to the game but I really don't understand
why it's this hard. Please I ask again that someone from staff give me a reason. This really is sucking the fun out of the
game for me.


Yours sincerely Bearman

don't be jaded hahahahaha j/k. yeah it's the one piece i hate getting, because you have to wait for the crypt key all the time. then finally after getting the key you go down. kill the jade guy, but no jade. then have to wait 30 mins for respawn. what i normally do then is kill skeletor over and over. one time i was down there so long that i accumulated 300 elvens. now skeletor only drops 5 at a time....sometimes.


i know make the crypt key decay timer 4 hours. that way you can leave and come back. that gives you about 8 kills. if he don't drop one in that time, then you have to get another key. :) erm. actually i see problems with this. let's say 5 people have keys. :O lol


what i would love to see is a sign on the crypt. green no one is down there. red someone is down there. :( nothing worse than finally getting the crypt key to have 3 people down there. :(

I have a spare Jade amulet but had a real bad headache with Jonath`s Mask. I guess we have to blame statistics.

Yes a sign would be nice because if someone comes in while you're killing the Jade guy you then have to wait over an hour before
it's your turn again, There must have been something wrong with his timer though because when I was there he was taking
up to 50 mins to respawn. Thankfully I have now got one. Now onto Grizzle :-D
