Neither has anything to do with the other.

I will say that our ability of increasing ship and plunderbeacon spawn is pretty limited. There’s only so much ocean and we’ve run into this bottle neck before. That being said there will be multiple paths to collecting the pirate hats and we look…

What I can answer right now is we aren't raising the cap. We'll actually probably have to confiscate all your cargo because we know you are hoarding it, and redistribute it to the other pirates. You know, to keep things balanced and all.

You show up, dbl click the queue stone and when it is your turn you can ask a question.

Pending implementation, but what were you thinking?

We are always evaluating new ways to pull gold out of the economy. Understand though, that after 25+ years we are in a unique situation where decades of inflation and design choices have lead to less and less money coming out of the economy. I a…

Party has no impact. For the purposes of the calculations, every player is treated individually. Again - other players and their position on the top contribution list have no bearing on your allotment of points.

You only roll for a drop when you kill a mob. If you are spending 10 minute soloing a mob vs 1 minute in a group you are getting more rolls over time with a group. More rolls, more drop attempts.

Pawain said: So basically if we kill stuff we get our earned points and other players do not affect our points. 2 players on one mob may yield less points per player but that time saved means more kills/time. That's all the math I need. 2…

No, I won’t be commenting on any mechanics of the afk penalty.

Attackers/Healers/Tanks will always get their allotted share of the points, regardless of how many players are on the list. The higher on the list, the more points you are allotted. Your position and how many points you are awarded is not affected…

Something to keep in mind re: Paragons. You are getting the point award for killing them, then each successive thing you kill you'll get a roll to get a reward. What you might often find is after killing a paragon your next drop will be a few less…

The fame of the monster is only used to calculate how many points are available for distribution. Once that calculation is made, distribution is awarded based on position on the list. With re: to luck - luck comes into play when you roll for a rewa…

The allotment of drop point allocation is based on top contributor ranking (healing, dmg dealt, dmg received). The top slot receives the same % of points regardless of how they get to that position.

It's a random +4 primary stat. That's all.

Surprise!

You need more luck. 700 is low by today's standards.
-
Yes.

The fizzle issue should be resolved. I already said in another comment that it functions just as if you were casting the spell.

The mount is a luxury item - for those who are interested in displaying their leetness. Should the price be too great for you, that's understandable. There's lots of great items to fit all Britannian budgets. Thanks everyone for the feedback!
