placebo tomes

While we are talking about tomes, and running out of ones to do...


I really think the drop rate on opus' seems quite low. It will take years at the current droprates to get everyone the tomes that they would like, and im sure even lleoc is missing opus' that would give his tome count something to do. Making them more available might help. Couple ideas:

-Increase drop rate in Spires
-Add a small potential chance for them to drop from nameds in spires
-Add opus 1's to Yclist (OMG A REASON TO GO! the only zone that sits up for days....)
-Potential Drop from Iksith 6-man Content

Also I think that Class 3 tomes should be a bit easier to get, I don't understand why both Class 3 and 4 tomes should come from so high up in the endgame. Personally I think it would be nice if they could be seen a bit sooner, but feel free to tell me a reason why they shouldn't be.

I fully support this idea for half a trillion exp. However, I would like a reduction in AC, probably to -500. Then at level 255, at 2 AC/level, it would be 10 AC at max level. Also, can you have stuff like negative Flowing Thought or Crit Strike, because those would just be cool.
 
Can the placeholder class tomes be made expable even if they remain doing nothing? I would rather dump a few hundred aas into useless tomes that are eating up my bank space that will eventually be made useful than dump a few hundred aas into useless tomes for marginal, not-crucial-or-important tomes then having to go back and earn another few hundred aas to fill the class tomes once they are implemented.

Tl;dr Let unimplemented class tomes be expable so we can get them out of the way and out of the bank and then we can go back to doing Tome of Meaningless Stat 1 and not caring to exp again

I absolutely don't think they need to increase the drop rate in spires, but I do think they need to be upped in Tur'Ruj. Its the same/lower than spires, and with a larger pool of potential tomes, it can be very difficult to get certain tomes. For example, I am pretty sure FWF has Never gotten a Mind2 from a trash mob. We've gotten 2 ever and they were both from back when bosses dropped opii2s. And maybe one striking 2 ever? And we're talking 9+ months of solid farming by now. The idea of TR being the "Opus zone" hasn't really panned out, although admittedly it has been improved a few times. Another big part of this problem is lots of the mobs.. hell, almost half of the trash mobs in the entire zone drop nothing at all and therefore can't drop books.

Pretty dumb that half the mobs don't drop anything at all. You are probably right that they needed to be upped in Tur'uj.

However, Spires still has an exceptionally low droprate... Tao claims their are opus' on named, well the drop rate must be ridiculously low, because we haven't seen one yet and have killed 20-30 names. In total with all the trash I think we have seen 6-7 opus' in several months... Exodus I don't think has seen that many either, and really what else is their to do progress at this stage of the game? not much.... your talking about not getting a opus of striking 2, well id like to see an opus of striking 1, but their are about 8 characters that will see it before me, and at current drop rates, that looks to be never that I will get one...

If Opus' cannot be achieved in ANY other way, the drop rates are far to low. It's not the same as when you guys were even in there before uncontested and could clear most of the mobs in 1 night with all the trash and get a couple opus'. There are 2 guilds HIGHLY contesting this zone, and also FWF that could still use a few items/opus' here and there on some toons, or some runic frags, and are the mobs ever up? No.

The server has started to lose numbers and most likely alot of donators, why is that? because you never give anything back to the server. You always nerf this and that, take away zones, give people spells that make them useful in other ways, and then take them away. If opus' don't start dropping for people in the 3 high end guilds on this server (probably 50% of the active population) You are going to literally kill off that whole population, because having something to do while you are online is the only reason you go online, and if you can only see at max an opus or two a week, a lot of people are going to have nothing to do.

I seem to recall Zaela posting that Opus 1s dropping in Spires were meant as a pre-cursory bonus to the zone where the main upgrades were infact tomes (Tur' Ruj). Having said that, perusing Exodus fomelos I can assure you they are getting a shit-ton of Opus 1s. Excluding Nwaij who had several from TU, just about every raider that is done with Codices of Power has at least one Opus with some having as many as 3 or 4.

Also, the only boss that I have seen drop tomes was Saitha herself.

Edit: the drop rates seem higher the deeper in Spires you go.
