Hey Heroes,

Based upon player feedback we are reviewing the drop rates for Arcane Sanctum Runes of Fire, Ice and Lightning from non sentinel mobs.

While we are happy with the design of these consumables the frequency at which they drop will be adjusted to be lower.

Thanks

How about just change them so they are just useable on the gelebron crystals instead of nerfing the unfathomable out of the drop rates?

It's from a 215+ zone, make it a level 215 requirement

Also, what kind of drop rate adjustment are you doing? Make it more common? More rare? Drop from all mobs? This news is quite vague tbh. Thanks for clarifying.

Gelebron Fissures should drop more frequently ...please don't make these super freaking rare. They're already a chore to farm out and they don't create any lock advantage.

Anyway, I agree with above post...the fire/ice/magic runes should only be 215+ to consume.. and should only work on the Gelebron crystals.

This is very unfair for ppl who put the time and farm these runes. My suggestion would be to make runes have higher cooldown to 20-30 secbut still keep the drop rate.. drop rate is stil amazingly low. We get about 1 shield fissure and 3-7 runes in about 120 x 5 stars in sanctum. Thats a whole day of 10 hours farming. And you want to lower that?? Come on...

What you can do is higher the rate of flawless crystals in ring bosses. We killes ringbosses freqiently and we only made 4 flawless stones but NO flawless crystals. Never seen a flawless crystal. How can casters anf tanks finnish their ring to godly.. or even anyone else for that matter.. we worked on rings since theve came out.

The drop rate is ridiculously low.
Please reconsider changing the drop rate and please dont make any hasty desicions..
Thanks!

Edit: do runes even drop from other mobs than 5 stars in sanctum? Dragons, ring bosses and all 5 stars in sanctum right?

Only one clan from all servers suggested lowering the drop rate because they want to hog every Proteus and Gelebron. It's bad enough they multi log/share each other's toons in order to win these raids. You cater to a clan who's leaders have 10 devices and log all their rangers in, meanwhile other clans have lives and don't share toons. You take away the chance of anyone winning anything. Cater to the people who break the rules. Nice! Good way to make the game fair. Kudos!

If you read people's responses nobody wanted the drop rate to decline. They want it increased.

Why not just make them only work on Gele crystals? Like with Otherworld scrolls :?

You do realize youre penalizing players (again) that legitimately only use them on Gele crystals by lowering the drop rates right?

+1 :)

When I spoke to Muldar about this it seems only Banes where ever meant to drop the runes & not all of the 5 stars which if you think about it makes a lot more sense.
Same way having them only work in conjunction to crystals would.
