Your getting what you wanted

A New patch update just hit kms apparentely the drop rate for root abyss weapons and armour were severely reduce now by the bosses dropping ores and needing 5 ores to gain a single equip. So for all the players that complained boss drops were deflating to near worthlessness Nexon has heard your cries.

On a side note make sure to stock up on equips before the patch hits gms

[quote=zcrimsyn]Expect it to be 2-5b each piece of gear now bc of this change. This doesnt help anyone but the already rich players in the game who can afford to spend 1000s on cubes to get 2m-2m range.[/quote]

I think thats a little steep, as when the two cra bosses were glitched in bera prices were only about 1b, but theres two other questions that will make a very big difference about the amount of items coming in after the update. as @powerguy121 said, 1. Will there be more than 1 piece per kill if the user has enough drop rate? 2. Is the piece drop instanced (per person) or is there only 1 piece drop for the whole party?

I hope this means that nexon intends to keep the cra set as the definitive "blank slate" endgame item for a while longer.

Aaaaaaaand they break it again

see what I did there? going nowhere, going in circles. why not make absolab top-and-bottom and psokable, rendering all CRA a lower-class equip; problem solved

wouldn't make sense since you can still cap with cra gear.

@littletlk: Not really shut down but the reason why most new players are quitting because they are discouraged of having the thought this game is "pay to win" well it really is in some point but you can still be godly w/o as other people said. For the godlies they can return whenever they feel like it anyway .-. deym godlies right?

Probably most people who quit ms will be back if kmst will ever introduce 5th job. Anyway we all have school so yeah
WAIT WHAT OCTOBER 7TH? you sure ? o.o

[quote=marveious]yes, at first I didn't agree with this update for KMS but cra equips have turned from a luxury to a everyone has it thing. However I hope this doesn't inflate the prices too much but its to be expected[/quote]

[quote=bblan7787]the price went up within 2 weeks of queen and pieere being glitched even reaching levels of 600-900m at one point. I'm sure within 2-3 months we see the drops at high prices again[/quote]

The difference now though is that everyone will be prepared and stock up. Nobody could foresee the bug lasting for that long and most people sold their stock off as soon as prices started rising during the week before following servercheck.
But yeah, prices will still likely rise fairly quickly I think.

[quote=millipede]This actually gives being funded a bit more incentive now, a welcomed change but it's kind of late since people have countless mules full of armor & weapons, it'll take forever for the prices to go up.[/quote]

[quote=maestrosymphony]meh not really, im pretty certain almost half of the godlies who can solo cra will not care or just quit the game by then. And for the plebs i dont think they will even last before the release of reboot.

Reboot's coming october 7th in all likelihood.
Do you really think this game is going to shut down in less than a month?

@bumblexxxbee: It will only hurt Phantom users. That 130% extra passive.
@xkillo32: "now passively increases your final damage by 30%" ... 10% buff for Dual Blades, 20% nerf for Phantom users.

There are still many unknown variables.
1. Is the item instanced or shared.
2. Does drop gear affect the number of drops / how many drop.
