So i'm curious, When the update hits and Floor 100 Armor becomes a "100% Drop" Type scenario, and Floor 80 Being more toward Building 25 "Trophies" to get a floor 100, Will you people still bring Thief's?

Or will you replace the token THF With a stronger DD to increase your odds of hitting floor 80+ More often?

If said THF would have Mandau/Twashtar and best DD equip for different buffs and can play very well including taking advantage from THF highest evasion/Fajin boots/Flee then I would still bring THF, otherwise no.

From what was recently posted on the official forums, it doesn't seem like that update is even coming anymore. You won't be able to get gear from floors above the ones you clear.

[Darkmagi]

Edit, misread that at first. Thought it was an even more recent post.

What?

I think you are confused.

here You go

"The system that was implemented on the test server today is different than what was mentioned yesterday. The new system (clear 25 times) will be reflected at another time."

[Mojo]

Well, here's to hoping they deliver, something leaves me skeptical.

[Karbuncle]

Thats what i Expected to here.

Good to know.

[Deader2818]

Might take a few months. The ticket system for VW was mention a bit ago and I don't think its on the test server no?

[Asymptotic]

Current test server dat mines include a set of Astrariums (bronze/silver/mythril/gold/platinum) from Nyzul Isle:
"platinum astrarium

Though its gears and pinions have
long since come to rest, this
clockwork calendar apparatus
recovered from the Nyzul Isle ruins
remains a fascinating window into a
long-lost civilization."

I'm guessing these will be the key items.

uhg who cares about 25 times for 100 gear, i want them to test and implement the stopper asap...

[Alkimi]

Stopper would be nice. I'd imagine our group will probably just set it at 80 until everyone has the main things they want and then go for 100s after.

People who can't get to 100 care

[Jem]

I'd personally far rather see the stopper in place than the trade system. Obviously I want to see them both but I see the stopper increasing drop rates in the short-term far more than the trade in system.

Without the stopper then you're still geting screwed by porter luck on like 50% of runs. Not having to take singles gives you a hell of a lot more leeway on time. Nothing worse than hitting like x6-x7 and thinking 'Fuck, do we ??? or do we try clear 3-4 more floors?'.

For instance last Wednesday we did 76 > 77 > 78 > 79 > EXIT and 77 > 78 > 79 > EXIT iirc. 19 clears and not reaching 80 due to needing excessive singles sucks just as much as overshooting.

I wasnt aware //fillmode on its own acts as a toggle between normal and wireframe, I always thought you had to specify which you wanted, since theres 3 modes.

Grats on the 100!

We've seen a few Rheic Legs +3 too. All the people wanting them apart from me have got them. So that'll be all the DRG's whilst the double relic DRK does not lol. I've joked that we won't see them in forever now.

[noodles355]

loldrk.

Also both your runs there cleared 20 floors. Is 20 becoming a normal clear count for you? If so mind sharing setup and tools used? We currently average around 14ish without embrava and 18ish with I'd say? So must be space to improve.

double embrava now , fillmode, dat swaps, + we had a lot of really good floors though, nothing to annoying, last run we did terribly lol, so i cant say we do good all the time

in 27 runs we got up to 100 4 times, beat 100 twice so like 15% chance for us to get to 100, and 5 instances where we over jumped 100, so with stopper we would have 33.3% chance to get to floor 100 at our current rate.

also more stats got 14 pieces of +3 gear, and 3 pieces of 100 gear in 27 runs

additionally 12 times where we reached floor 80, 11 wins 1 time out, 44.4% chance to get to 80

[noodles355]

Any idea what your floor clear counts were for those 27 runs? or at least mode average?
