    Alexandrite changes?

    Seems that the number required has been reduced from 50k to 30k. Anyone have any info on adjusted drop rates from Salvage? Or where these pouches come from? From boss chariots, perhaps?

    Next question is: How often do they drop now?

    edit: can't read multiple threads at once ;x

    Consequently, the quantity and rate of alexandrite drops has also been adjusted.

    Anyone else worried that this means the drop rate will decrease?

    Useless speculation on my part would guess they'll drop from every mob in the zone. This is my hope because then Bhaflau Remnants just got seriously less gay to farm.

    put me down for: all mobs drop alexandrite + all gears/chariots/ramparts drop small pouches + boss chariots drop big pouches.

    Maybe: Regular archaics: single, NMs: small pouches, bosses: big pouches.

    imo it should be singles from normal mobs, the "lesser" coin purse from NMs, and the greater coin purse from boss.

    ZR run

    Just did a ZR run, 21 coins in total. a pouch dropped from 5F frog which had 11 alex's in it. Gears seem to have to have a pretty high single drop rate. No single drops from any regular mobs, just the gears and ramparts. Time out on final boss, would be interesting to see what it drops.

    Which pouch was that? The one that holds "many" or "a few"?

    with that 30k tag, and you only getting 21 coins that run it really seems impossible to do. an average of 30 coins a run DAILY will still take over 3 years to get the coins needed... fucking bullshit. chariots better drop more than 100 coins, or they absolutely need to drop the price to 5k or 10k to get this done in one year, or to have it cost less than a normal relic.

    Yeah so uh... does SE expect anyone to have this done like ever? I don't get how all the other objectives are all completely feesable (although some really shitty), but then they have some retarded alexandrite requirement. It being over 1000 is just a slap in the face.
