Hello friends..Well its just something i was wondering about when the forthcoming patch will be relised... WHY HIGHER CHANCE FOR ITEM DROPS? I can understand that many players are mad about the outrageous prices on items and thats why theyr doin it... and that its so... so hard getting nice items... but i think that it only would do the game worser... In the beginning of the game i remember when a oma fighter dropped me my first trident... and how many ours ive spend there tryin to get one... it was a struggle but when it dropped it felt realy good... and it realy felt like i deserved it... what im tryin to say is that if it gets to easy to get "unicue" items the feeling in the game dissapears... i know that it can be frustrating to see other players wearing so many good looking items... so what... let them have their items... ure turn will come and then when u indeed find that nice staff/dragonsword... you do enjoy the game... Well thats my thoughts... what do u others think about higher drops rate? Thx Saruman |

Hello mate.. well i think maybe if the new item is a low leveld one it should be easyer to find... it should all depend on how good it is... i dont think old... good items should be more rarer... why should they... Saruman

Some good points Saru. I think a lot of people kill the top bosses and mid bosses 4 drops really. If u killed an ET and it dropped a spirit sword and a spirit ring.. at the moment you'd be chuffed to pieces. But then going back to town, if u saw everyone else with them.... it just takes the shine of it. I remember killing a snake and getting a blue ring (40K back then..which was a lot of money for a low lvl) and being so gosh darn proud of myself. But also, with MORE rares being aded to the game, making these rare still are.. just not as. As long as new items are being made, then stuff like dragon swds, etc. must get a bit more common or there will be too many rare thingsViktor the M.........V.........P |

Hello mate.. Off corce they kill the bosses for drops.. so do i.. :-) and for the fun.. well can we have to many rare things?.. no.. i dont think so.. i think it just makes the game better with more rare things.. and i also think a low lev creature should be able to drop a rare good item.. but maybe not as often as a higher leveld one.. and the bosses should almost always drop one..

You said lower lvl items should be dropped by lower lvl mobs, welllllll Tele Ring is lvl12 Requirement, does that mean we should all be runnin round killing Spitting Spiders for that Elusive Ring?-----.:Draiman:.----- -(Wizard)- -=(Heart&Soul)=- |

Hello drainman... Im no mirgame developer... this is just my own thoughts of the game... and i dont know if spiders drops em... i dont think so... but if i was in command it should have been so... maybe certain items like just tele ring and for example a invisible ring required say lev 16... theese ones should be harder to find... but why not let everybody have a chanse finding em...

I recon there going about things wrong there giveing more drops yeah great,whatever, i've looked on the webby an ohh look 4types of armour about 25weapons (most of the weapons are never used for example Dagger)they should be working on makeing more items not giveing us loads of the same old crap,an ppl who are crying about lack of Big drops take a trip into whoomyon woods an lissen for me yelling then you'll have some stuff or maybe try in the mines I leave loads of things behind there's no problems with the drop rate what so ever just cause there's nothing to do but lev up an get the best gear,don't mean they should raise the amount of stuff ya gettin to help you get to that godly state you all want,that'll make the game more boring we'll be raking in the bags full or ruby rings an getting loads of spirt gear,hell about 50% of the population of mir will have full spirt gear on if they go though with it.VGeminiV-War-L22-Dragon Server-no guild |

so true, remeber e-shock, i wanted it soooo bad, and i was killing zombies just to get it, NOT to lvl... that's why i liked playing back then... so when the patch came... u all know what happened, i got it but it didn't feel good.... why? cuz everyone had it! from then on mir was boring till i reached lvl 25 or something and i could look for rare items again like magestaff/ruby/... so now it's kinda fun again... just hope the patch doesn't **** it up again...Life is short and hard like a body building elf Edited by - LiT on 10/12/2001 11:05:13 |

I reckon rubies will be ok, but i think mage staffs, G-axes and serp swds will be dropped a lot more, but not in shops. Power axes and Purifiers will be in shops i reckon, in fact anything lvl 25 and below will prolly. Also Skel helms and Shamens.I mean i only hunt ET's for items, and the fact that the rarest thing i got in about 15 of em is heavy armour with 9/25 dur ;)) WOW But like you said with es.. if it was still as rare, and pricey, then atm, you'd have about 20 rare items 4 a wiz, each costing from 200K to 5 mill. As long as new items come, they have to make the rares less rare. Well thats what i think anyway Viktor the M.........V.........P |

It dont say rare items it says Unique items. I interprite that to be weapons with different stats not rare items like the Mage staff etc.. They ould be doing that so there is more variety to the weapons people have instead of having 85% of the lvl15 wizzards all having the same weapon because they got it from a shop there would be more with altered stats. That is how i read it anyway 'unique' not 'rare'.**I havn't go a hope in Hell** Occupation:Warrior LVL20 Name:JamesAeon *Retired* Occupation:Wizzard LVL20 Name:JamesEon |

What they mean with higher droprate of unique items is that items will more often have added stats, for example an enoby bracelet with amc 0-2 or so. I think this is good cos more players will have different items  At least i think this is what they mean.

I gotta say that I'm all for more items becoming more common. One reason is that the game is growing and we will become more individuistic.Amours just one way of making our selves unique. As for no one useing the dagger, u gto tell that to the lvl 4 noob, whose not got an ebony or any money... I think this is all nautral progression, but I think you need to step back to look at it, as the game grows the items increase and differant items become the "rarer" items.. But I can also see how it doe s pee ppl off that they have just work 62 hours to get a serp sword drop and then on Sat they could have bought one in the shops!! Thats just an example, I don't know if they'll appear in the shops or not.. Still I not got ne rare items... Nor had ne really good drops, *Sniff* Sob >.<..... ne1 got a steel sword with an extra 25 SC?? I'll usher your soul across the river stix

They would increase the drop rate because everyone is lvl'ing high and higher .. so the majority of people now are between lvl 20-30. Therefore item's which we're rare a few month's back would be cheaper now as the demand for them is greatly increased.Can someone shoot me if I go to oma cave again ? LvL 25 Warrior New Dawn |

Hello..And wy not introduse a new char/skill who will/can let em make their own weapons/items like there is in UO.. that is one of the best ideas a onlinegamedeveloper ever have made.. maybe that class could have a better chanse of refining etc.. it shure would be nice to own a weapon/item that was holy unique and it says who made it.. but they cant maybe copy everything that UO game has.. maybe just the best things..

Im not sure how i feel on this topic..... Ok i was wishing that dragon swords were a lot more common when i didnt have one, its VERY sill the amount of lvl 28-30 warriors wandering round with purifiers or great axes. But now i have a dragon sword which i paid a LOT for. Some cash and items wich totalled to about 6 million worth. So now on saturday they will be common :( What should we do be constantly waiting for each patch to make things common and never buy rare items......There is a patch coming up in december should everyone wait for things to be common then? I think the main problem is the introduction of the wooma horn selling in shops....people have too much money now.Before this happened 1 million gold was a LOT of money and very hard to get....now its buttons. tHe MaN WiTh ThE IrOn TeStIcLeS....... |
