...20 barri basic runs and No Crystal.

This. Most Shock pages are so hard to get, except first two. FB10 is quite easy drop if you like to hunt Ancient monsters, but F9 was hardest to get since it drops only from Succubus in Rabbie Basic or from Strange Books in GoP SM.
There is two of them. Due to the large amount of ancient killing, I tried Ant Hell, but the traditional methods do not work. I suspect it due to the Iria Update a few years back.
Gonna assume you meant the 6th crystal as the 5th is the one on deadend chest which I actually found in the very first chest I opened. So if we talk about going to kill hornets... yea, it was annoying specially cus just one player can just take all of them easily if they're skilled enough and let's not talk about those who cc like mad to take out all of them in all channels. I think that one should have had a second way to find it like others do tbh
I agree with you both.
RNG makes one lazy and dedicated, there is also the difference between procrastination and being a game addict of which a gamer has mastered the balance of both (i.e.: AFK fishing). On times like this the drop rate for the items makes one eager to follow through yet the low rate of successfully getting the item makes one hate everything while still willing enough to continue. Has anyone tried collecting each monster or taming them?
Differences between this chain blade skill and Shock/AR/FB/Thun/IS:
Shock and AR pages do not come from field monster drops. They all have trash drop rates, but you were never competing with the entire server for a shock page drop since they all came from shadow mission based monsters (who's CP you could control) or end chests. AR/FB/Thunder/IS have all of their pages dropped by dungeon monsters. Again, you aren't competing with the entire server because those are instance based.
well rng sure is weird one guild mate got their fishing crystal in 3 pulls and took me 900+ bait lol
I pulled 3 using only 340 bait (some of them were the crafted item bait) while fishing over night.
I feel like I killed my luck forever.
that's actually incorrect, shock pages drop from scathach monsters. in fact the only way i ever got 3, 4, and 6 were from the wolves.
otherwise though yea, plus since scathach has been generally deserted for a long time before (at least in my experience) the only obstacle to hunting for those really is the annoyingly low droprate (ofc)
You aren't forced to hunt field monsters for shock though. Every page that has a field spawn drop also has a shadow mission drop location. The dorcha crystals that have monster drops are exclusively field monsters with no instanced spawning available to the player.
And then you lock out all the newer/low ended players who just wanted a cool skill because they can't do end game content. On a more important note, my guild went into phantasm and farmed fiends in the boss room for 30 minutes and got no drops.
funny you say that because the game recommends new players the talent LOL
I actually didnt even think about that.
Those poor newbies... There is no way.
Skills are fun as hell, but there is no way.
umm the 5th crystal only drops from dungeon dead chests. as far as i know. it doesn't drop from mobs.
this is also why i think that they should make it 2 ways you can obtain the crystals.
method 1 geared to anyone. You can do easy game content like fishing or acient hunting or killing hornets but it has a chance to drop.
or method 2 geared towards end game or high level players. Clear a high level or endgame activity that is assigned to that crystal for a guaranteed drop.
or example. i need the 5th crystal, i can either just spam run normal or basic dungeons for the chests at a chance for the crystal, or i can slug through some of the harder content in the game for a guaranteed drop for the crystal. opening a means of RNG or 100% drop rate and makes it that their is always at least 1 way for a newbie to still get the item. essentially Risk Vs Reward.
That combined with this dorcha crystal quest is what makes me think Korea is out of touch with their own game. The talent itself is pretty easy to get the hang of, but they showed us all the skills and locked a quarter of them behind quests that most noobs will not be able to complete.
