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.

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
