no it means exactly the opposite

Re: July 18th Patch Notes

Yes, but all the people who would be camping Lizzy and others will be 1-time people. They'll come till they get the EX/RARE Drop and never return. This way everyone can sort of have a "respect" for eachother because people would be camping because they NEED the Item, not becuase they WANT money.

Probably a Camp of 10 people 1 day, will be completely different people the next day.

absolutely right on ^^ it will be like people camping for other rare/ex things currently in game ^^ like BQ ring etc, cept that you wont need pop items at all ^^

"The way that the following items are acquired has been changed:
Archer Ring, Leaping Boots, Emperor Hairpin, Peacock Charm
In addition, players may receive an EX/Rare or EX item with the same attributes from the monsters who previously dropped each of the above items."

so you may get the real things you may not. so now season campers are basically going to pick up an move to another NM. another thing is look for the price of the emp pin an the leapin boots, an sniper rings to go tru the roof. stupid alternative

That's not how I read it - the way I understand it is that Lizzie will now drop Hopping Boots(tm), an Ex version of old Leaping Boots; and that Leapings will be available some other way (I'm hoping quested or trigger spawn and not just making them BCNM loot).

Or, these items will drop more often. I doubt they'll change the monster they drop off of.

That's a godsend. I might want to level RNG now since I'd be able to get a peacock charm, leaping boots, and an emperor hairpin without all of hte botters. And...if they change the Emp Pin or somehting to rare/ex, all will be rare/ex from now on, not just the ones that drop from now on. This is to reduce ppl monopolizing off of campnig them.

the wording " in addition players may receive" is what makes me think it will be one or the other, an possibly neither. but if it is going to be like how you say it will be. you gotta be kidding yourself if your gonna camp here for 4+ hours to fight a mob who drops nothing. an then keep doing it til you get it?

" yay to nomore gil sellers in ordelles cave"??? that just means they are monopalizing someplace else more.. we didnt win anything with that one.

you thought camping for 4 hours was torture when it didnt drop an item you can sell. how do you think its gonna feel when you spend that much time on a mob an it drops nothing.

ohh how the M"F'ers are gonna fly

Re: July 18th Patch Notes

lots ppl thinking woot ex items i think ill go camp now. and so is everyone else on the server. the camps wont get less crowded. it will take a long time for say 500 ppl to get ex charm etc. argus spawns once a day, and doesnt drop everytime...not too hard to figure out^^.

Re: July 18th Patch Notes

Which is why they have most likely made it so that Argus will drop more, maybe even much more. To make the monster drop an EX version of its item some times, but not increase the drop rate is very illogical. In addition, if they were not adjusting the drop rate, they would not have said "The way [insert item name] is acquired has been adjusted," they would have merely said "When trying to obtain [insert item name], a player may receive a RARE/EX item with the same attributes."

It seems more like a move to lower prices than one to fill camps even more and piss people off.

But once they get the item, it's over. No more returning to camp unless they're helping a friend get it too. Sure, the first few days these camps will be packed, but hopefully it will dissipate over time. Hopefully....

When you foght the leaping lizzy, you MAY have recieved the leaping boots. Now you MAY recieve a rare/ex item. It's the same principle really.

Re: July 18th Patch Notes

Couldnt agree with you more on this issue.
On Ramuh I dont see people camping Lizzy as much now anyway. And soon expect that number to be less.

Re: July 18th Patch Notes

i wonder how long itll take [players to find new mobs that drop the peacock charm/archer ring/leaping boots/ emp pin. or since the way to get them are "changed" whats the possibilty all 4 are now Bcnm/Enm drops?
