Here are two responses. One a dismissive "I got mine, so stuff you" post and the other examining the issue and coming up with a theory. I leave it up to readers to decide which is which.
-------------------The reality to the topic is, everyone who has meteroic weapons and frozen weapons... Have gone through the same hoops that you have or will have to go through.
No sympathy here.
I have gone through it on all my characters and still go through it on my new characters. So deal with it like the rest of us
I found the whisps were killable over a few weeks of casual watching and visiting except one. This one took a month of checking in at SV on the way to OW each time. I kept missing it by 30 seconds as it was killed.First things first, most of us with frozen/meteoric got it when the otherworld wasn't even released yet. And back then it was sooooo easy to obtain it because stonevale was a constantly farmed place for exp for levels 50-100 and there were a lot of us. So with this constant expiernce farming we ran into tons of these wisps and rares without having to try like you new players do nowadays. In any case because stakes have gone up, I do agree that these spawn times need to be increased, or these wisps given their own spot to spawn every few hours. Also to increase the % at which the diamond drops from a special mob and also for those mobs chance to spawn increased. Only that too because the diamond droppers are also ones that drop ruby-amber which arent as needed, but still required. Lastly because the goblet spawners RARELY spawn. Aka nobody farms them.
Whenever I found a whisp I tried to shout to allow others to come but not everyone does this. Not sure why because they have no drops to attract the high level groups ie why not share?
The diamonds where ridiculous, especially the fairy diamond. I camped the fairy queen for 2 four hour periods and had nearly 500 mushrooms and 40 glimmerswords etc but no diamond. I have killed her twice but different drops (this was earlier). ended up buying one.
I agree all the diamonds need an adjustment together With the wisps now that OW Is there to remove players from these areas.
For whisps maybe a chain of kills to trigger the spawns like Felfire. I mean not just lower spawn time but make it dependant on the player killing certain whisps in order or something. Just an idea.
