Title: A few ideas.
Thread Modes
#1
Hello, this is dog, here are some ideas I'd like to discuss.

Add a more reliable source to farm Enhancement Elixirs. Red Archer currently is the most reliable low level dungeon to farm them. It's fast, but it usually doesn't drop enough and the trash loot from the bosses just spams your inventory like crazy.
Suggestion for Red Archer if it stays: Change the loot table. Take out the trash loot, add a set amount of Elixirs per boss. I'm thinking maybe 1 per boss and then some rng for more. Would be a great way for even end game to farm there without getting spammed like crazy and it would add a good way for newer players to either farm them for later or make money on the marketplace.

Magic Powders: Add more Magic Powders to more dungeons. Not only Two Moons should be a the spot to farm. Diversity. +best

Replacing shards: While I understand that it shouldn't be for free, it also shouldn't be that costly. 20 orbs to replace one shard is a little much, they can be a pain to farm. Overall I'd like to see the cost of it lowered by maybe 25% to 50% of the mats that are required now.

Shire cat: What I would like to see is a changed is what you can buy with the fragments from dismantling.
Currently you can buy a random orange shard for 200 fragments, which isn't bad, but mostly doesn't help you with progressing towards what you want. Getting another weapon shard if you are looking for a smooth or solid is not fun.
Suggestion: Make every shard buyable. At a higher cost. 300 - 350. Reason: It would make grinding S3 raids / BCE less frustrating with the thought in mind that you can buy whatever you need after X amount of runs. Maybe add Magic Powders / Enhancement Elixirs to it. 

BCE loot table: Take out the blues, or lower the % of them. It's meh for everyone running BCE and then getting only blues. 

Scrolls: Talking about Well-Balanced / Enthusiastic here. While Keaghan is easy and fast to do at a certain point, change of location is not bad. I know there is Lio, but who wants to run so much. +cold So maybe add it to more raid pools. The Giant, The Dark Dank Sewers, Ahglan.
Enthusiastic: I don't know where it drops besides Succubus. Add it to more hero dungeons, thinking of some Fomorian Base Battles. The Contract, The Last Fragment.

Up the limit of Muir to 10 or 15.

Something else I'd like to see is: Add Amethyst Belt and Peridot Belt to more loot tables. Thinking of Season 2 and Season 3 raids. Making them craftable would also be a nice option.

Bye.

Nice suggestions +best.

But regarding your fixed shire stuff i would put it at 600 to 700 fragments just because it is guaranteed.

Enthusiastic drops on the gatekeeper hero mode which is repeatable. Not the best dungeon but also not the worst.

I'd like to see an s1 seal enchant scroll thing which contains leo, mael, dp, twinkling, bloodlust, wb, enthu and so on. At the same pace or lower like s3 ones.

Muir is almost the only way for new players to farm paradise enchant stones. I'd like an up from 5 aswell in this case but mby to 7 or 8 only and see how it develops.

Can't be done. Too easily abused by veteran players who stack luck.

What do you mean by abuse tho?
There is no other place to reliably farm Paras atm. Regina, Braha and Lugh drop 2-3, Echo drops 2. Another thing is that veteran players need a lot more Paras to even progress.
Assuming that you max Regina and Echo, which both take around 6 minutes solo, you have ~60-70 paras. But you also invested well above 3 hours. Just for paras. That doesn't seem right to me.

You're not running it for the paras... the paras just happen to be there as a side bonus.
I guarantee you no one is running Regi for stones.

What else am I supposed to run for paras? Echo drops less. BCE doesn't drop a lot if any.
It costs 25 paras to try to get +19. That's maxing Muir. Or doing Regina 12-13 times. On top of that you I need 8 Elixirs. Which could be 8 times Red Archer if I am "unlucky" even with stacking LUK. And that is just one try. If that's what you want people in endgame to do just to enhance, maybe it's time to quit, because this is nowhere near a fun grind. You get crap loot, maybe 1-2 elixirs, or 0. This is not what endgame should be about. Getting your inventory spammed and praying that you get elixirs.
This problem wouldn't exist if Echo was still the same. Dropped a good amount of paras end elixirs. Now it's 50 % mats only a certain playerbase wants.

if you consider the best para sources in the game to be a side bonus then where do you think are we supposed to get paras from in the first place? echo drops even less than any other S3 raid now
doesnt matter if theyre a bonus or not. fact is regina is the only reliable (still very few) para source left in the game since shes fastest and has a cap of 15. effect and i have been maxing regina for weeks solely for paras. why would we ever do regina or any other S3 boss for that matter when we're fully OJ geared esp when all sets aside from regina are literally useless and both of us got another site filled with spare OJ's not to mention the ones we handed out/sold already. cant even gear up alts since we're constantly out of mats because theres just no place to farm them anymore. there was a perfect balance between rune drops in nifl and echo dropping paras/elixirs - now i dont even wanna do nifl anymore because id just stack up on runes i wont get to use and no im not saying nerf rune drops - theyre perfectly fine considering enhance rates.

If you think the luck stat is the problem then i honestly dont understand why you keep introducing it into the game.

btw can also just make a few alts with +0 regina gear and clear muir in 1-2min on 110+ luck so veteran players "abusing" muir doesnt really apply here considering its like 3 extra cores on dews + red archer doesnt have a cap either even though it being the ONLY elixir source in the whole game right now which is pretty fucking sad honestly

echo drops were perfectly balanced too making the raid actually feel rewarding (since theres literally no other drop than a single OJ and S3 scrolls). dunno where you wanna put them back (if at all lmao) since theres no other place as fitting as echo. in case youre thinking para/elixir drops were too overtuned then idk what to tell you. it took me 2 months of maxing 2 of the 3 raids almost daily (zecc, reg, echo) together with effect just to enhance my weapon from 19-20. effects been very generous giving me lots of runes, goobies and paras too so it probably wouldve taken another month without him. no idea how long youre expecting people to farm for gear on a private server but i feel like doing 30 echo's over 2 days to try and enhance your item from 19 to 20 only once isnt the kind of grind people look forward to.
also not sure why theres infusion mats in there now when we can just buy them for 2m and all other raids drop the mats too?

right now endgame feels pretty dead to me because all essential drops except runes for 15-20 come from low lvl or easy dungeons.
-elixirs -> red archer (lv 38 dungeon?!)
-paras -> muir (lv 75, cap of 5, pls dont hit us with "just do it on hero for 1 extra core 4Head)
-magic powders -> two moons (lv 52 dungeon, not even reliable - just highest chance)

regarding elixirs you might as well provide us with a guide on how to multibox this game so we can run red archer for massive elixir income just like 2 specific other people whose names i wont mention for obvious reasons :-)

the way you describe paras as a bonus in S3 raids is how i see goobies in nifl raids. goobies are a nice bonus here and there so pls dont brush this whole thing off by saying just farm goobies hehe

Just to add to the "No one does Regina for the Paras" thing, I maxed her today and got 53 paras (running Dew set and Wings, which puts me at 154 LUK).
Paras are not the issue for me. The main issue is what we (especially end game) have to do now to get Elixirs. Maxing Echo would put you at ~30 Elixirs.
Which doesn't sound bad, but is also only 3/4/5 enhancements. Considering the time it takes, it's not really "balanced".

gotta mention that youre using a dews set and got lucky too. maxing her once isnt much of a samplesize.

i was averaging 40 paras per 15 reginas on a dews set + core event. lately ive been getting even less (15-25 paras) with double bless and no dews

and for elixirs im averaging 1 per echo run on 114 luck + bless
