Griffon Feather | Improvement Ideas

jordmantheman Discord 13 Apr

Just wanted to highlight my experience trying to make sayha's bow. Figured I'd post when I saw the thread on Elemental Breaths.

At current market rates, the ingredients are roughly --
1m per scale x 15 = 15m
200k per tear = 10m

... and there isn't much of a market for feathers.

I'm testing 400k, now, which puts them around 12m for 30. An equal weighting around the ingredients feels poetic. 1m feels excessive comparatively.

It seems to be the supply side of the coin driving up price.

Nobody is hunting the mainland Griffons (2% rate), and the ones in FI drop at (0.6%).

The problem with smaller populations tilted towards higher levels is nobody is grinding materials from lower level mobs. And holy shit grinding 6 griffons spread across 20 lineage miles is slow.

There's already a kill quest, albeit at a low rate.

Long thread to propose increasing the feather drop rate on FI, or adding it to gem gambling to increase the supply a smidge.

Apologies if this is intended. I'll keep grinding 😛

I am hunting mainland griffons, so 'someone' is hunting them hahaha. I echo your sentiment. Only thing i may add is also to consider increasing the feather drop rate at mainland vs. increasing spawn number, given such low population of griffon

You guys are so cruel. Which one is heavier? 100kg of griffon feather vs 100kg of rock.

hah, I am hunting them too 😂. Maybe I have to live with the reality of 1m+ per feather.

mainland DEs have a similar drop rate for tears, but the density made farming them more manageable.

imho. I think 2% on a ingredients for 2 "endgame" weapon is fine if they are really 2%. The issue come down to it is not worth the adena and time to farm it bbecause thebe is still so much stronger compare sayha and moonbow, and much easier to obtains

Exactly IDKK. The equivalent time to grind feathers is a huge opportunity cost, especially compared to just getting Thebes. That's why I suggested increasing the drop rate from 0.6% on FI to add a bit more to the supply, and raise the lvl the farming is relevant for xp. Lots of people ignore the birds right now.

Not decided yet: Griffon Feather drop rates have not changed. This is on the list for Mephi.

This was more or less resolved with HM FI. The drop rates for feathers and the quest are reasonable, and gets an appropriate amount of people hunting
