Tri-Coated Wire Mesh Cloak

so you want to nerf a shield that takes retarded amounts grinding to get (I did 120+ VE maps per shield ive gotten).... but you want to make newport ring which is already OP, even more so... with a quest that takes a druid and an hour or two.

Looks like Ryke got salarus forum infos
 
The tmap shield thing had a thread about it some time ago and it almost got nerfed. I guess I'm torn about it due to how long the item has already been in the game and how I believe that quest rewards should be superior to drops you could obtain at a similar tier of play but maybe something could be done to tone it down and perhaps fill in things like HI gaps so that it's no longer the default secondary for all those tiers.
 
Just an fyi, ive done the tmap quest 7 times. Usually it takes no more than 4 or 5you maps, woth the exception of VE maps which takes about 10. Considering how good this shield is (and awhile back I posted to nerf it while I still had it mind you) it needs the nerf bat badly.

This also being said, i'm about to start doing this quest again for toons 8/9 in a few days or a week or two. Ill write down exactly how many maps it takes me, although i'm sure someone, somewhere, could just post the drop rate.

Im on my phone, but compare it to say, the UC shield with MC7 now since there is no brimstone buckler anymore. It still comes out as comparable if you dont have FT capped, or already have MC on another slot.

Nonsense,what are you trying to achieve with those WRONG numbers,everyone I know who did the T-map
quest needed something like 75 minimum up to horror stories of 200 maps.

You sir, are flat wrong. I'm sure there are drop rates that could be posted. I plan on doing these for 8/9 soon and keeping track. The only hard part is VE maps and i've never cleared 10-15 that I can recall on those.

Did it twice.I would say took me about 100 VE-D maps both times.
I wouldnt call this "few",and more annoying I had to box the majority of them.

Really, could a dev please post the numbers on this? I've never even *heard* of someone doing half as many as this fool is claiming in all the years i've been on the server.

You remind me of the guy who was concnerned about a level *34* cleric spell latley how it was
imbalancing,while Druids still laugh their ass off how easy they have it to level up with all their
tools.At least this guy had the numbers right which cant be said of you.
 
Hi, my numbers are spot on for my experience. You are probably fabricating yours. I'm asking for devs to show the drop rate which would settle this.

I leveled and still play 2 clerics, hell, my "main" if I have one is still a cleric. I level and still play a druid. I am not at all sorry that that incredibly overpowered broken cleric spell got the nerf bat. When you can just spam one spell and nothing else to keep your tank healed low end, there is something wrong.

Also how do you not see trivializing roughly 9 tiers of raid content loot as a bad thing?
 
It doesn't matter what the droprate is, he could have done 100 maps for 1 and you could have done 7 in 10 maps each. Random is random.

Edit- Wow I just realized what thread this is in. Take your bickering elsewhere, this thread is reserved for nerfing my cloak that has existed for years because nobody actually wears it for any content that actually matters and it's completely insignificant yet somehow game-breaking.

Quote to address the first part.

As per the cloak, why are we not going after that idol from everchill as well? Am i mistaken or doesn't that add a ton of dps?
 
its a nice dps boost(but not game breaking) and the only way i can keep up with nwaij, leave my humaniod damage alone yo!
 
I know it took me upwards of 30 VE maps to get that piece on my bst, and prob another 15 each on my bard and cleric, none of the other pieces were remotely that difficult to get for any toon. But, I could duo them, so I just slogged through the xp for the piece.

30 seems like really bad luck. I've heard of high teens before, and even low 20's.

I should stop shitting up this thread by posting about other items though. If anyone wants to take this debate up with me, make a new thread or PM me! Always glad to discuss different view points.
 
Nobody on staff cares about nerfing items that trivialize natural progression, can we get back on point here please.
