Ingredients in the Shroud

[Raegoul]

it is time to increase and even out the drop rate of Large ingredients.

I wouldn't argue, but a trade-in feature like they have for the GH relics would be a good start.

it sounds like a great idea, but would they also allow for you to trade in small and mediums for larges? not to get greedy, just figured i would get the question out there.

/agree - have put up a post saying that some time ago

I just checked all my characters to see what my total ingredient pulls were (including those already used in crafting). I have 4 characters running the shroud, 29 total completions, and close to half that many failures (mostly pt2 and some pt4). i've given away a few and recieved a few, so it's probably a wash.

size   scale   shrap   arrow   stone   chain   bone
small   19      10      15      20      18      15
med     11       9      16      20      17      13
large    7       3       6       7      10      10

looks like the drops are even, except it seems like my account is gimped for shrapnel. I guess it could be worse.

anyhow, thats 43 larges in 29 completions. A drop rate of ~1.5 larges per run. figuring the uneveness of drops, it's 8-12 completions to get your tier 3 item. Seems reasonable. I'd still push for 3:1 ingredient swaps, but would have to say no to swapping ingredient sizes.

if it's only 8-12 runs to get a tier 3 item then there would probably not be any complaints. (on my 2nd strech of 10+ runs and no large scales, that i've kept track of)

I wouldn't say that the drop rate needs to be changed because its supposed to be a little annoying to craft several tier3 items. But adding a 3:1 trade would go a long way to help out players who have crappy luck pulling that certain ingredient.

[Kaldaka]

I would agree that something needs to be done ....

There is only ONE quest you can get ingredients from and ONE quest where you can make the upgrades .... Can you say GRIND GRIND GRIND?

[Pyromaniac]

Running shroud is pretty much what's left to do in game. It would be nice to have a 3:1 exchange option, but increasing the drops would mean I'd have nothing left to do in DDO.

Hmm - yep give me the larges ASAP!
