    The change to spawning them wasn't the problem imo, it's the drop rate on HQ pops and removing the drop from NQ which was completely unnecessary.

Sure you can get lucky, but the majority won't.
    Overall yes. Maybe I'm off but from what I've heard 1/20 is a rather low drop rate for HQ item. Either way in the end this results in a bit less wasted time for most people. No over camping tons of people potentially alot more pops etc. I mean in all reality even if you camped it everyday and happened to actually be able to be there at that time it's still sucking up a good 15+ hours not counting all the repeative gathering there time or not being able to do something because looked into a schedule per KB. And even then that's assume you are lucky enough to have no competetion. In all reality you probably do have other groups there not to mention you also quite likely brought more people to increase your chance of claim which means even more competetion for drops even if you get the claim. Not to mention all the bazaard pops. Or the people sitting on 2k seals... plus all the people spamming for BB items has helped

    Idk you might have liked camping it at all hours of the day and not even getting claim but I don't and just can't. I wouldn't have even had much of a chance of even seeing KB without this update given my work schedule. And certainly wouldn't be running down there just to see lol

    new kings system fucking sucks, drop rate for HQ king is WAY too low. Equivalent to day 25 pops each and every time.

    I agree completely. I'm curious to know what hq/nq pops sell for in peoples bazaar's? On Siren, nq turtle is 1m and I've yet to see hq. KB pop I've seen a few for 15m+. As far as metal, most are 125k-200k.

    NQs are 1-1.5m generally on Valefor, HQs start out at 8m without a real limit, seen anything from 8m up to 20m.

    On Lakshmi, NQ King pops hover around 1-1.5 mil too. HQ's can range from 5-15m. I managed to snag a Nidhogg pop for 6 mill but I wouldn't dare waste LS bank funds on anything higher than 5-6. 15m for KB is insane.

    As a Lakshmi seller, you can get 1.5mil for NQ pops overnight. HQ pops depend very much on your competition at the moment, but I've done 10mil KBs and 9mil Nidhoggs.

    At least with Faf you can get decent drops for augmenting. 1m for nq turtle? I wouldn't go over 200k or so personally for the small % to get hq pop. But that's just me. On topic, I don't have much room to talk about the drop % of heavy metal as I haven't done voidwatch yet. For me, I'm not concerned with trying to upgrade to 95, but I can see where completionists are concerned with drop rate+amount needed+cost.

    i cant agree more! while the new system is nice for fafnir, its a fucking nightmare for HQs! the hq pop item should be at a 100 % drop considering how bad it is to get 99 KS nowadays!

    or....... or .......... or how about leave HQ drops as rare as they are now... but make HQ's drop every fooken item on their lot pool 100%....... >.>

    I've personally seen Genbu drop 0. It's not impossible, just incredibly uncommon.

    This is almost identical to my LSs luck with Faf. Done at least 12-15 of them. No HQs. 1 N head, like 2 e hands, maybe 5 z feet, no ridills.

    Shit is fucking retarded. Have had -1 N. legs in my storage forever now trying to get them.
