They should have given us a bit more warning They pull this out of their ass and announce it while I'm AFK and all my SW weapons sell out, including the dagger I will later need to transpose.

The armor rate is fine, trust me, out of around 16~ SW weapons, I got only one armor piece, and that was the hat. The weapons on the other hand... yeah, I sort of agree with nerfing their drop rate, cause lets be honest here, Fafnir-esque equipment dropping like every one or two runs is pretty rediculous, and when they get to the point where theyre around less than 100m a pop? Craziness.

Well it's nice that you have it, congrats? Lol

Honestly @TS, I'm speculating that it'll just be as low as the RA hat drops, but I don't think it's a bad change, raising the prices will make it more profitable once you do get a SW drop.

I thought it would take only 1~3 months to complete the set without buying it from the FM, but now it'll take a lifetime! </3 Weapons are pretty easy to obtain, but it's pretty darn obvious that the drop rate of the armor is low and it should actually be increased from it's "elevated" rate.

@maple1114: Its mostly luck tho some people get 0 drops others get 2 in the same run
If nexon didnt want this to happen then luck shouldnt be a factor in getting the item

Even if they nerf it someone could still get 2 items per run if they were lucky
So nerfing it does nothing but make it harder for unlucky people

The armor part are already hard to get only thing dropping alot are weapons it seems

And the gear kinda sucks anyways put a 2h sword on my kasier and he can hardly even do first boss at 162? lol

On a side note blew up x2 weapons tyring to pot them with 70% scrolls seems 70% is like 20%

@lazershock

100% agree.

weapons fell from 5b for the 2h sword to 300m in a WEEK. I hardly see a price change for the armor pieces.

Imo, normal Grosso and Livyatan don't need to be adjusted, they're ALREADY low as is, Red Grosso and Blue Livyatan just need SLIGHT touchups (as in, lower their rate so you don't find them as often as you do now, but can still CONCIEVEABLY find them fairly often, often enough that you can hunt them for a few days and get a decent amount of stuff)

Edit: if anything, RAISE the armor drop rate.

drop rate for weapons can be toned down i dont see a problem. However, the armors already drop at a piss low rate and they're decreasing it even further..

well, the drop rate is really high...considered how easily accessible the bosses are not that hard to beat

well... the excessive amounts of SW weapons r understandable (despite daggers and kataras) and they're just like fafnir weapons...

however, I think n3xon should just nerf SW weapon droprate, not armor + boots+ hat stuff :c
