Fom and wich is bugged from the update. No drop anywhere. Adena drop is fine in fom but no any drop. Material key mats anything.
It's not a bug, drop tables in that area have changed as well. Patch notes imply this was done.

I am against having to use GK.
However I'm against using TP in combat.
I just wanted to clarify, because I'd much rather not see GK system reverted.
As for people who thing EE PR is not worth anything/worth less:
It still saves money, and if traveling to a town, have the party port to a diff location and PR to town, instantly saving a few thousand adena.
Not to mention if they remove TP while in combat, then PR would be the go to..lolNo I disagree.
If you want cheaper ports, they can always make it free or just lower the prices. The reason why you always had multiple hops is to prevent people from doing rapid surprise gankings across the map. With the old GK system you can always have warring of people gathering or porting to a cretin locations. This is because certain ports are hubs for travel and the port options from hubs are limited. With the current port from anywhere system, good luck and enjoy your dirt naps. L2 is mainly a PVP game after all or have people forgot that?
As to the EE PR being useless, this is nonsense but not for the reasons you describe. PR has always been useless as a money saver because the money you would save porting back to town at high levels is irrelevant. PR is instant cast at higher levels, it is intended to get your party out of trouble by BSoEing out of a sticky situation or from getting ganked by your enemies. This was important at high levels when even 2% exp lost was a whole day's worth of grinding.-

I had a similar experience as I recently added a BD to my party that I made as a replacement for another character. When it was 10 or 9 levels below the highest level character nothing was dropping but xp was still happening. After a few hours I had made <500 adena with no drops and I'm pretty sure I had made the adena prior to the arrival of the BD. Now that the BD is within 8 levels everything is dropping normally now. At the time I had chocked it up to the drops being broken in general but I found it suspicious that even after hours of grinding I had made nothing..
So is there a thing that makes it so no drops occur if you have a 10 level spread in a party or something?
I think you hit it on the head, this is a poorly documented change in the parch notes. Most of the people complaining about drops are probably boxing a buffer/healer char that is near 10 levels below or 6 levels above the average in the party. This is probably why some people are reporting abysmal drop rates bust still getting exp. While people like me don't notice because our chars in party are about the same levels.
-
I'm starting to wonder how many of these people complaining about no adena drops or low adena drops are due to them having boxed characters that are too high or too low in level in the same party. From what I see the patch did not explain this new change very well, the description of the changes are quite vague. But from what i gather, the larger the level difference between characters the lower the drops and exp. With drops going to 0 eventually. So if the lowest lvl char is more than 11 levels lower than the average and the highest level char is more than 6 lvl's above, you don't get drops and exp gets nerfed? Not sure since all my chars are about the same level and i don't see this problem.

I visited lair 4 days before event ends, cause wiki was showing the lvl of mobs at 68,
Continue with the sharing of knowledge.
Either get a proper 8 man party [Not boxed with 5 inactive supports] and go level in a 70+ area or find a way to survive the damage of TOI. Sorry your special snowflake hug box that is AL got nerfed. But your either a high level scrub who has never really played L2 in the past or just someone who can only level in areas where you are told you can go.

Either you are a high lvl player and an average farmer, or a low-mid lvl and an average farmer and you probably don't understand so i will extend a bit here with numbers.
Find me a spot with 3.3 mil xp for each player in 20 mins for a pt of 6, 5 supports x62lvl and 1 dd x 65. 300k in adena as well.
And don't tell me TOI, mobs there land 1k dmg. We are 2 players here who both stopped playing since update.
Do as that favor and spread the knowledge so as to continue enjoying the game we love and enjoy playing.
And don't start the things about classic and lvl up etc, i scaled 6 chars pt with zero boosts with 1 dd warlord.
Sorry 150k, 300 was with the boost of last month.
If you had 3.3mill xp for party of 6 every 20 min how are you still lvl65? Do you play for 20 min a day?

What a great idea that no one has ever thought of trying. You're a fountain of wisdom and knowledge.....
You would have a point if there wasn't such a small number of choices at the level range I was discussing. You can't just decide to level on mobs that are level 60 or 20 when you're level 48. The game doesn't work that way so the number of choices is hard limited by the available mobs and population density. The last patch included changes that made over half of the leveling areas impractical for those that aren't botting or engaging in RMT. Sure they boosted XP in those areas some but you now require an external source of income to afford to level there. It could be worth it if the XP had actually been boosted substantially but that's not what happened. Definitely wasn't worth the marginal increase in XP just to lose those spots as viable leveling areas for non RMTers/alts. I mean I'm sure some high level players who are making alts LOVE this change because they can toss adena down a hole for a while and be fine.
I'm still trying to figure out where plated leather gaiters drop now.YAY I never knew i was a fountain of knowledge!! Thank you.
At 49 you can still solo ~34 or get a full buff party and do ~55+. You wont even need SS or pots.
Your playing Classic! And true to classic form you had to sometimes grind at lower level places to get the adena to afford the SS needed to grind for exp at higher places. This is how it was originally 15 years ago nothing has changed. If anything you have been spoiled for the past 6 months. Part of learning the game was to know when and where to use SS and when and where to sacrifice exp to farm for adena. If you are just desperate for SS and adena all the time then play a Warsmith, you will have SS for life and craft all your gear at 1/2 the market price it really is that simple.

Here you go. Hope these are still valid.

That's silly way to say botting....hmmm....
-
Here's a thought, instead of going with the game suggestions on where to farm and at what level to do so, why don't people do some actual exploring in the game to find a spot that works. But no people are lazy and rather cry on the forums in hopes that someone will tell them what to do or where to go. This the definition of a real life bot. No independent thought at all.

The obvious solution is to equip a dagger. Problem solved.
-
I think they changed it because everyone now gets 15% mana regen from the mark of journey.

L2 had Quests what were not just class transfer, or moon armor? News to me....
-
You wanted to play classic... make adena while using shots. Pick one! Or wait till the next drop increase event in a month.
Even in Prelude and C1-4 you could never make any real adena while soloing with shots. -
Don't merge the servers! Keep your filthy bots on the high pop servers. Low pop server is fine! Your just angry because you have no friends.

Read the patch notes. Don't listen to Andi_Omukai.
Drops for many areas have changed. Some mobs in those areas now give more exp but at the cost of adena and drops. It seems like some areas are purely just for exp farming while other areas are for farming drops. It may help if you specify which areas you are hunting in now....
It seems the exp areas are geared for people who are re-rolling to power level alts and dont need the adenas. This is fine for the Korea and Euro servers since they have had years head start so most of their pop is in the higher tier anyways. But this is a problem in NA serves since most of the population is not as high yet and still need both exp and drops in the sub 65 lvl areas.
Don't give up hope, just do some exploring until you find a new spot. Good hunting. -
I remember in prelude all the good leveling spots were always hotly contested for 24/7. Where full blown donnybrooks would break out at the drop of a hat. From ruins of Despair, to Cruma Tower, and into Antharas Lair.
It got so bad that you always ended up loosing so much exp in fights. SP was never in short supply when you leveled.
Eventually the server always devolved into two opposing camps and literally 2/3 of the server was always at each others throats for the entire 5 years of the game.
Ya I remember the good old days..... -
Yes i noticed too. Try enabling one of the "HDR Rendering" Shader options together with the brightness.

Yes! please remove the Teleport window. It is totally game breaking and immersion breaking. Here are reasons why it needs to be removed pronto.
1) You have cheap Blessed Scroll of Escape anywhere now.
2) Teleport from anywhere makes PVP Broken, since players can gank and then teleport away at will. All fights are just port hopping surprise gank fests now. Even worst at low levels since ppl can do this for free.
3) Teleport from anywhere makes low level PVE Broken, 1 healer/buffer can heal/buff multiple parties from anywhere as long as you are hunting near a port node. Ant nest entrance for example. This is because sub 41 chars can port for free.I'm sure this thing is going to get exploited more as people get more creative. if your trying to make the game more user friendly, please remove this feature and just make all ports between towns free instead.
Just my 2 Adena.

Saber is right. The new mobs that give extra exp but give no drops, will also result in no silver coins. Only mobs that have a drop table will give you coins.
