[Dagon_Thaar]

Monstermanuals for u38. :-)
Thanks!

Nice little bugfixlist.

Will those elixirs of discovery be usable/work for raid chests too?

Yes.

[SpatzAI2]

Could you clarify the math on the new Elixirs of Discovery plz. Let's say a chest had a 8% chance of dropping named loot. If you use a Lesser Discovery, is your new chance 8+5=13% or 8*1.05 = 8.4% ? Obviously I would hope (and suspect) the former, but I wanted to be sure.

[Morroiel]

Yes.

Yet another example of you guys deviating from your long forgotten promise to NEVER sell raid loot or proxies for raid loot (increased drop chance, rerolls, etc.).

You guys just needed another way of monetizing the game? Let me guess, drop rates for all future raids are going to be nerfed to compensate?

[Scrapco]

Fixed an issue that could cause Saga Rewards to not be selectable.

How do we get the xp we lost while this wasn't working?

[ForgettableNPC]

Still no idea where the Ornate Mithral Lock is in Toxic Treatment...

Unless if it has to do with running into the Chaos Orbs over and over.

There could be more palatable ways of making money on the game including selling Slave Lords Augment toolkits/destroyers or selling sets of 5 guaranteed collectibles(not a grab bag) so people could cannith craft a bit easier. This just smacks of bait and switch; start selling loot boosters and stealth nerf the drop rates. That must be the 'stealth' SSG still supports.

[Aelonwy]

I would also like to know if current and future drop rates of named loot are going to be reduced to make purchase of these new Elixirs of Discovery necessary?

Anything done about the mithral key/ornate mithral lock in Toxic Treatment?

Also what about this issue with Freezing Spray?

This. Although I suspect the latter.
Going (with sovereign) from 1% (or less) to 15-16% for say Blade of Jack Jibbers is huge, going from 1%(or less) to just over 1% is pretty much worthless.

I guess this would be the time to seriously discuss xp bags? I was against the idea at first because I agreed with what a dev said long ago when DD first started, but now there will be a chance to get Sentient xp. I'm sure those that bought RL and take part in Sentient leveling will use them right away, but I didn't buy the expansion. I don't have the bank space to save them when eventually in the next 10 years I might buy RL. at least be able to put them in the green bags? would the response be "buy RL"?

[Propane]

Yes.

Very, Very, sad to see this - we need to find ways to encourage folks to run more raids longer - not the other way around... sad...

Don't worry, you have to remember the drop rates in DDO are cursed.

Not even store shop items and daily dice drops can save you from that.

Anniversary event had a sentient gem you could purchase, I'm sure there'll be themed gems added to other events. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pirate gem for Crystal Cove added while they're updating the loot. My guess would be that the sentient XP gems won't be dropping all that often.

If only there were a way to get saga rewards more than once to make up for the saga we didn't get to collect...
