Um, Can we make Rare Collectables just a little less Rare?

[Impaqt]

In Particular the Lightning Split Wood.........

Picked up a +4 Reisistance ring today and Figured I'd throw the extra +1 on it... Now I've been pretty much hitting most collectables since mod 7... Leveled a new character and have another lowbie as well.....

AFter Transfering all my Collectables over to one character (MAn I wish Large Collectable bags were a little more easy access as well, but thats another sotry) I started looking for these Lightning split Soarwoods.....
Hmmm... I have NONE.... I counted up my Collectables.. I stopped at 500................

Over 500 Collectables over the last month or so and I havent looted a Single Soarwood? You gotta be kidding me......

ALl all for not having a Farmable location for Specific Collectables..... But seriousy.... Can you bump the drop rate up just a little bit?

[Dracolich]

I wish I could have all the ones back that I have turned in over the last 3yrs. I will gladly give back the money I sold the items I got for them.

The problem with lightning soarwood is it only drops in quests lvl 6-10 or so. If you blitz those levels, you wont get many (but you will get tons of prayer beads, and lots of the high level ruddy fungus).

These levels are also the levels with the biggest variety of collectables, diluting the soarwood even more.

Why should a Collectable be Level Restricted? Is that Really the case?

Its not that they are level restricted, they are....sorta mob restricted.

Certain collectables fall from certain mobs, as ya know Impaqt. We dont have many kobolds after level 4 or so, for instance.

True, But Soardwood Drops from ALchemy Tables, Piles of Rubble and Backpacks from what I understand..... I see those all over the place.

I can get enough Prayer beads running Kobald Assalt a few times to stock up for a year....

I have been getting my wood from the thernal series. i want to say east 2 has the best chances but i could just be throwing a direction and a number out there.

Sadly, I think I still wouldn't have had enough to do a crafting ritual.

IMO, we don't need collectible to drop any faster.

I've already got half of the Bronze tokens I need to buy that guys most powerful weapons!

How long ago, was Mod 3?

On that note, I finaly got enough tokens to turn in the other day...... Hoped maybe the devs mumped up the loot with mod 7 seeing they addes some stuff to the desert.......
















They didnt..........



6250 Tokens for a 50k Vendor trash weapon........... Oh well.......

I've been farming all the places mentioned for the lightning split soarwood....a lot of runs. I have 1 total.

I find this all amusing.

All the times I was laughed at and sometimes brutally mocked for taking the time to pick up collectibles.

From Christmas (when I last turned in) until now- 14 lightning split soarwood. actually I have at least 3 of every rare collectible, maybe more when I gather them together.

NOW its ok. I watch everyone scramble and try to get collectibles in quests today. 20/20 hindsight. Oh I'm sure I've dones something I will later regreat and get upset on the forums with, but today's notthe day.

When I do, fill free to mock me. I'll deserve it.

Wanna Trade 4 of em?

Still 14 in 6+ Months with your obsessive COllectable gathering seems rather low tome.

/agreed. The lightning split soarwood drop rate is just a bit -->sparse<--. And I've been hoarding for a loooong time.

I found 2 in one day, both in bookcases (not alchemy tables or backpacks or piles of rubble), while running the Cot6 series.
