To begin with, I usually grind monsters for around 3–6 hours a day, depending on my available time. In this game, the grinding system is very well designed and impressive. It is something I can stay engaged with for long periods, and for me, it is the most enjoyable and effective way to progress. Progressing through Life Skills, on the other hand, is not something I find fun or enjoyable, which leads to the issue mentioned in the topic above.
After the recent Season gear update (December 18, 2015), where Tuvala Season accessories can no longer be melted into Time-filled Black Stone Fragments, the ways to obtain Time-filled Black Stones have been significantly reduced. As a result, this has caused a shortage of Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls. Although these scrolls can still be obtained through daily login rewards, Twitch drop coins, the asset integration function, or various events, the amount provided is still insufficient for actual use. Even if I stop grinding monsters, I would need to take a break for several weeks just to accumulate enough Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls for my next grinding session.
Currently, the easiest and most cost-effective way to obtain Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls is by grinding monsters on Season servers. However, this requires a long time to collect 200 Time-filled Black Stones in order to exchange for only one scroll. Based on my daily usage, I require approximately 6–12 Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls per day. Due to this demand, there is a consistent shortage of these scrolls for my gameplay.
Therefore, I would like to ask whether there are any possible solutions to this issue, and I would also like to propose the following suggestions to help alleviate the problem:
-
Allow Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls to be registered on the Central Market (as there are many players who do not face this issue or primarily focus on Life Skills).
-
Allow Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls to be stored in the Guild Storage so that they can be donated or shared with players who are experiencing this shortage.
-
Increase the number of ways or the amount through which Time-filled Black Stones or Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls can be obtained.
-
Remove the weekly limit on exchanging Seals of Honor for Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls (previously, there was no limit on weekly exchanges).
-
Allow Tuvala accessories to be melted into Time-filled Black Stones again, but restrict this feature to Season servers only.
I understand that grinding monsters for 3–6 hours a day may seem excessive to some players, but it is what keeps me enjoying and staying engaged with the game. For every grinding session, I normally use Item Drop Rate Increase Scrolls at a base rate of two scrolls per hour (Drop Rate Level 2).
