Eternal stones request

Would it be possible to add eternal stones to Farhag loot tables in ToT for those who are done with IP or add them to Upper Thaz Earth wing? We've done IP when stones didnt drop, so we are forced to clear a zone we can't get anything from, just to get the stones we should already all have - not to mention respawn time on IP trash is long and it seems to be down a lot. Or make it respawn in 8 hours like Thaz does or add eternal statues to the libraries where vandathians are now.
Thanks for reading.
 
I cannot post on Felyn, because I cannot mess up his post count, however...

First of all, I think you should edit your post, because even though there are still minor strat leaks, they are still there. Also, this shouldn't need to be changed because the rewards of said quests are amazing and a little back farming clearing trash is not big deal and it does NOT interfere with lower tiered guilds. Making them drop in ToT would be a shame, and would make things a lot easier for everyone. The point of the quest is to collect things from ToT and outside of it, not to collect items exclusively from ToT.
 
I like the respawn idea most. Any guild going after an IP named should be good enough to clear all the trash on the way.

you can also follow a guild in there and ask if you can loot the piece.

i would only agree to maybe upping IP trash respawn by like a half day. But tbh that quest is suppose to be kinda annoying (even though i was against and still am, having to backtrack thru zones).

A couple Ruin members did what i advised above, but the rest were done by a 12-15 man crew late night, and or before the quest was in/finished (not sure when the pieces of it were put in compared to it actually being a fully coded quest)

point being, get into IP when you can and things are up. Most of the time there are things up just takes a long trek to get to them.

prob here is it still takes time. even with ToT/Thaz geared you can't steam roll it in an hour so.
 
I wouldn't mind trash spawning with ValorB repop time, but that's just me. Allows you to clear whole IP in 2 days if you can't finish all the 5 bosses in one day and still allows others to farm needed pieces.

Not unless you're in the raid with them. :( Not to mention they should be getting those for themselves while they're there, so as not to be in the same position later on...

well tbh those guilds are so far away from that quest. its always worth a shot to ask.

That is why i wasn't a fan of them on that trash. The other trash that has the other piece is easier to get but also makes farming for it not a stabmyeyesout thing.
 
We killed ~9 statues(all that were up), no stones :( This is really a bad thing. We're doing full clears of IP for a guild that will come and just kill the 5 names in 20min. I strongly suggest that stones be added to another place.
 
This is one of the big bottlenecks to the quest and is pretty much working as intended. Steel was taking single groups in and smacking around statues during late night for their pieces.

If you want to suggest another place that would *BE THE SAME DIFFICULTY OR HARDER* that would take away the "giving other guilds free clears" aspect be my guest. Otherwise it stays as is.
 
Valorb, farhag, mephar trash? Even clockwork trash can work. Or make IP trash repop in 8hours, please.
 
Late night for Euros is raid time for every other guild, so I somehow doubt the Steel "late night prison raid" method is going to work for everybody.

Up the respawn or put them on equal tier trash would be a great way to do it. Quite frankly, if Im involved, I'd be killing the named just out of spite, instead of leaving a free clear. But Im a bitter angry person who hates almost everyone.
 
Its pretty stupid killing a named that its 100% rot, and yeah u can bring alts, that weak your force a lot, delay it even more and generate an insane amount of inecessary drama between guildies, since everyone want his one in...

1 grouping trash there will allow u to pull how many statues 4? I highly doubt Steel can manage to do 2 pulls and even less 2 golems pulls with 1 group...u kinda need 2 groups+ for statues

And my suggestion its not to make IP trash 8 hours, cos it will make almost imposible for guilds at that tier to kill Ulaz, but a change to a ValorB type trash (2 or 3 days) will allow to do 2 trash mobs cleans to higher tiers guilds, while others wont note the change at all.....or change to another zone but there arent that many to choose others that the already posted ones.

Upping the respawn lessens the bottleneck greatly....

Adding it to trash that spawn quicker lessens the bottleneck greatly unless you want it to be rare to the degree that you are just giving people free sepulcher kills.

IP has the advantage of giving up and coming guilds a good way to get their stones as they progress - unfortunately you did not get this advantage. Neither did Steel. The quest reward more than makes up for the inconvenience.
 
What about a guaranteed drop from a named mob, much like a certain other mob who drops another similar item? I dont know which would work, but a guaranteed stone every 3-4 days would be equally good.
 
I think I found the best way to address your one major salient point (That you are clearing for other guilds) while still keeping the difficulty.

As of this post eternal statues are on a much quicker respawn - meaning Prison raids will more than be able to clear the entire thing before respawns in one sitting but guilds will be less likely to farm the stones and make the spawn/named get out of synch.

To counter this the drop rates of the stones have also been reduced. Meaning you now have more chances to get the stones and can worry less about doing others work for them.
 
thank christ i had my eternal stone just about when they were put in.

hopefully this solves the prob (or the complaints as it is). Wonder what the % drop is now, when we wdidit, it was like 10-15% ish (at least when i was there, by my own numbers which are prob skewed cause i wasn't there ever stone farm raid) once in a while we would get lucky.
