Coppers back on troll mobs?

Post by Eol » Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:21 pm

Any chance we could consider putting coppers/some amount of money back on trolloc mobs? (if this was an abuse issue in the past there are a lot fewer people with mob lead now...)

I've been playing quite a bit of darkside lately (trying to create new characters without using anything from prior alts) and there's a mid-point gulf that I think this could help fill. Darkside obviously has its own culture - equipping has been very straightforward. People will give you money if you ask, but I do like to try and be independent. I've literally found myself at like ..level 11, with 3 people on, all stores sold out, wishing I had another crown to my name so I could buy a dagger. There's good money sources available, but they aren't made for the teens in general. Perhaps I'm missing out on something - perhaps I've forgotten some amazing trove - just thought I'd throw it out there.

There are a few other ways to obtain some coin on ds, at least if this change doesn't happen.

Under blarg in rk are a couple of thieves who load a few crowns each, wolf and horse scalps are always useful gap/stedding/orchard/waste/lockshear and north of lockshear are all places close to home where a few scalps can be gathered. it's not much but it might help fill in that gap before you are able to comfortably kill things like Ghoblin trolloc or Deranged Ogier.

Awesome. Thanks Elysia.

Thanks Spyder - I was aware of the thieves/sentry. I think those are pretty consistently killed - kind of like how people chase after the TV thief on the loose with a vengeance. I've been a big fan of the wolf/horse scalp mobol for a long time - thankfully the new generosity with juveniles decreases the dependence on wolf/horse scalps to create juveniles to exp with. Unfortunately, the new human clan horse scalps aren't worth anything (probably not enough space for that many mobs).

This was from a few days ago. It looks like some of the mobs might be loading their coppers twice?

Anyway, glad to have them loading coin again so thanks for the change.
