It has begun.
Good Luck.
No slayer
Mean suckers
High fire resist
Cold weapon works.
I think that @Kyronix may have reduced the drop rate for this Event because I was having a higher drop rate in the previous dungeons...
Honestly – those shitty Paragons – and explicitly Balron and Lich Lords Paragons have already failed me to enjoy this event again, even though it has only just begun world wide. So on Drachenfels too. I was just surrounded by two Paragon Balis, 2 LL-Paragons and the normal spawn type.
What’s more, the turn-in drop is pretty miserable under these conditions – with or without luck.
Previous result 'til now : 2 item drops, but 20 death robes
In the meantime, the crowd has probably understood that you should not run, but as mentioned above, because one takes the beasts right into the target. But please give us a chance to survive if we do the dirty job for those who just leave them and don’t fight. Psychically speaking, this endlessness quickly deaths brings me to the verge of a screaming and crying cramp, which is not good for my health at all, and I wonder who in God’s name can call this fun.
The Paragon Spawn is enormously high, at some point the dungeon is only “goldy” – from this beast and some bank compartment fills up again with my gold project on the bank – and there’s no platinum lying around. In addition, you really doubt your abilities as an experienced veteran after almost 21 years of gaming experience.
What good should one do on low player shards at a non-prime time, where even the few players that are logged in especially the para-balis don’t do well in the team. Many who come across have untrained chars and untrained pets.
I would like to know now, how much higher the hit points are in the Paragons compared to the normal Monter – twice – three times or maybe even ten times higher???
Honestly – I’ll let myself fall twice, maybe even three times. . . but if we actually have to fight ten times the usual at hitpoints the fun stops – Death robes are no fun - they are a game demoralizer, and whoever has thought up this, would like to compete against 4 Paragon Balrons and 2 Lichlords-Paras . . - it's not possible – not even in good will and in teamwork.
That one has probably made the work easy here and has resorted to existing programming, because it is the easiest way, I can understand, and I also understand that Paragons are supposed to prevent farming in one place too. Nonetheless- especially with the Balrons and Lichlords the hitpoints always seems exaggerated to me.
A little less ego-thinking, know-it-all and rumbling compared to others who aren't so "great" and the UO-life would be a whole corner easier
(Ein bisschen weniger Ego-Denken, Besserwisserei und Rumprollerei anderen gegenüber die halt nicht so "toll sind" und das UO-Leben wäre ne ganze Ecke einfacher)
I suspect that LUCK is broken.
I am also wearing a suit at about 2,400 Luck and got only 4 drops in in hour...
@Kyronix , could you please kindly look at what the issue with worn Luck might be ?
Because it is not helping anywhere at all in getting more likely drops....
Thank you.
I love the people who say "I know a sampire would be much more successful and trust me because I have one...but I refuse to use the most efficient character to get something I want. I quit."
And not just less, but "significantly" less drops...
Maybe it was not intentional, perhaps it is a bug, but definitely the drop rate is now lower... and, yet, the cost of the items higher...
And it is summer and one does not have "that" much time to stay looged in... I mean, nice weather, one goes outside, does picnics, people do not spend hours in front of a screen when it is summer time....

Right, you don't have a sampire, and its good that your pally/fisher/tamer ninja/stealth tamer can be as good as a sampire. I ran around all the time since Deceit obviously, and have not seen any camping sampires to date, but there are some tamers who parked their Cu Sidhe while their owners hide. lol

I've spent the entire day in there, and last night.
I've had the good, the bad, the very bad, and the best.
PvM Mage, Felucca, really tough, had to bail, it was too hard. I got 1 drop, in the time my Sampire guildy got 8. I get say 5 drops an hour, looks like he can get 40. In the time I type a sentence, he has 2. I really think the Sampire dominance of this game is an issue.
Went to Trammel Fire. 10,000 Sampires, it was a joke, I could not stand being amongst so many unwashed.
I went back to Felucca. A guild was doing it there, brave guild, realising no-one else would be there, and they have the best pvper protection ingame to hand when they need it. So I hassled them, all day long. I died a trillion times, on my pvm mage, and on my pvp mage, but I slowed them down massively, they did well, they managed the champ spawn twice, in the entire day
Eventually, couple of guildies helped, and joined in the struggle, and they gave up, it was our turn!!
With 4 people, we managed to do the Felucca Champ spawn. Honestly, to make it properly easy and fast, and to defend easily, you could use a group of 10, and a female sampire or two.
But doing it in Felucca, doing the spawn at the same time, you don't notice the grind on the wildfire drops, and it is properly challenging. That was the most fun for me, I really enjoyed it. I think that was the best experience, the drops come fast, you get the chance of pvp, you get a good day, a bad day, you get the adventure, and you get the chance of scrolls etc.
By the end of all of that, I felt really at home in fire, in Felucca, on my mage, I'll happily do it there all round, to avoid the crowds in Trammel. Yes the paragons are seriously hard. I don't think there is too little spawn, at least not from my perspective.

The problem is that, for some reasons, Sampires get 3 times as many drops as Tamers, regardless if Tamers wear a lot of Luck....
@Kyronix , I always suspected that there could be some lines of codes which advantage melee characters, for example Sampires, and disadvantage Tamers when it comes to drops....
I suspect it might be something from way back, because, for some reason, perhaps some Developer in the back thought that Warriors, fighting toe to toe. deserved more drops as compared to Tamers who would use a pet and not fight themselves....
While this thinking "could" have made sense years and years ago, it no longer does, today, playing a Warrior, with all the high end items that there are, is actually safer as playing a Tamer...
Furthermore, Tamers are also disadvantaged by the code that reduces their chances at a drop if they hide... Warriors do not have this either...
Anyway, the bottom line is, that with pets' also doing half damage, Tamers are in a very bad shape as compared to warriors....
I can understand that looking at old lines of code might be a time consuming thing, yet, I do not see why Tamers should be left to languish like this, when actually, playing a Warrior is now safer, especially with Paragons retargeting all the time on the Tamer and forgetting about fighting the pet...
Oh well, it would be nice towards Tamers if you wanted to find these old lines of codes which disadvantage Tamers and get rid of them, at least Tamers and Warriors could then finally get drops at the same rate...
Thanks.
To my opinion, when a specific Class of Character ALWAYS, consistently, ends up being "THE" best one to tackle spawns, and the others languish behind, then I think something seems not be working right with the Design of that spawn....
It should not be like that, at least not Event after Event after Event.
There is perhaps something not working right, if this happen, at least to my viewing, with the Design of these events.
At the very least, they could alternate 1 Event for 1 type of character and another for another type of character but here, Event after Event it is always Warriors or Sampires or however we want to call them, who end up on top and, not just a little on top, but A LOT more on top with a drop rate that it is triple if not quadruple that of Tamers, for example....
@Kyronix , perhaps, this might be worth thinking it over.... there is not only Warriors in Ultima Online...
