  • Unpopular Opinion: Cancel the Legendary Item Event

    While it's likely too late to change this event, these would be my suggestions if it were repeated:

    Pick a different theme. It seems many of the issues arise when trying to adhere strongly to the 'sword in the stone' them. Having players all gather in a single location and line up, taking individual turns, which gives an advantage to those at the front of the line. An alternate theme may allow players to continue their normal Mabi activities without visiting a specific location. The item could be awarded to one of the players after everyone has entered, without performing a separate check on each player. The winning player would go collect it afterward. It also alleviates the need for players to spend hours in line waiting, and prevents malicious activity like trying to crash other players.

    Definitely make rewards untradeable. This event's very design seems to revolve around items which should be untradeable. After all, "The item is choosing a player worthy of it". It doesn't make sense for the item to allow itself to be sold to someone unworthy. In addition, the prizes and times are all announced in advance, with a large variety of different prizes and times spanning the entire day. Nobody is expected to wait out the entire day. Players will prioritize items they really want, or can make good use of.

  • Is exploration broken? (Cenae, South Longa Beach)

    The statues in Cenae Meadows are spread further apart than other regions, since it's large and mostly empty. Note that Bronze Jackal is the most time-consuming, annoying artifact to get of any of the collection books. It's the reason that Composition at Rest sells for over 6m easily.

    Many people don't know this, but in Courcle, statues are set to all disappear at the same time every 60.4 seconds. It is not 60 seconds after you find one. The best option is to look at the second hand of a clock when you see a statue vanish, and know that whenever the hand reaches that point, all statues will vanish.

  • Transformation Skill buffs

    I voted yes, because Transformation Mastery is underwhelming right now, but I do want to note that the skills ranks should be those of the player's actual ranks. And, of course, some latent abilities and skills shouldn't be used. Things like Adv heavy stander, immunities, Mores' Chaincasting, etc would be a bit silly to allow. Probably best to only allow players to use skills they actually have, and at the ranks they have them.

  • Wolf-striped Desert Spider, Spawn times

    Killing monsters in Rano will allow you to find Field Boss Scrolls with the next spawn time listed on them. The non-giant field bosses do not have a fixed schedule. It's psuedo-random, and unpredictable. Field Boss Scrolls are the only good way to know when they'll spawn. I have also heard rumors that certain NPCs will give you spawn times when asked about "Nearby Rumors" with high likability. I haven't seen any confirmation on this though.

    I've had to hunt several field bosses before, and my advice is, stand at the location they spawn, and every 5-6 minutes, check all channels. Most of them spawn 4 times per day per channel. 40 spawns per day averages to about a spawn every 40 minutes, or something. Someone else math it out.
