[Beta 15b] Jewlery drop rates

#1 Post by Graziel »

Is it only me or ego rings/amulets drop rates just hit bottom? I can hardly find any usefull ring or amulet, while Infusions are dropping like mad.

Also, do non-ego amulets have a use?

They can be given to the apprentice for the quest or imbued by a jeweler with an appropriate gem...?

They can be given for the quest, or sold for gold, but not imbued.

1) I hate the armor egos on amulets - some of that stuff just doesn't make sense at all for an amulet to grant that kind of ability

2) Empty amulets are worthless, even though they can be passed off to the apprentice, because after 10, they are simply clutter. Force egos on them, and increase their rarity value across the board

3) With all the new prefix egos, it seems that finding an old 'proper' ego on amulets is near impossible - especially one that will work with your character at the time

4) Infusions/runes are dropping like mad, I think they have the same rarity as scrolls/potions did previously. I don't like that, because there's very little actual variety, and the variety that is offered, is mostly comparison to 'regeneration rune' and 'regeneration rune' - to see which heals more, quicker, and/or has the faster cool down. That I don't like at all
