Resources(ore/enmatter) dropping from any mob at Arkadia?

Hi



I've been hunting drones/pvp4 mobs/Boorums on and off all of my years at Calypso, simply because they drop Ore/Enmatter which has a decent markup and is usable in a lot of crafting blueprints, thus very good for the general economy so you feel that you are actually contributing with some of your loot... also it helps you to keep cycling the peds


I am aware of that Drones on Calypso (I think there are some on RT as well?) is a MindArk owned creature, so I was wondering since you do not have any creature dropping a decent amount of resources yet... Would it be possible to push MA on it?

Calypso seem to have
Drones - Gazzurdite
Mulmun - Melchi
Attacker - Oil
Mulaak'f - Narcanisum
Boorum - Cobalt
Muluk Hir - Blausariam
Miner Bot - Cobalt, Caldorite, Blausariam, Platinum, Valurite, Azzurdite



Would it be possible to give MindArk a poke and ask for something similar on Arkadia? Perhaps Arkadia specific ores, or the same ores mentioned above, but in their own Arkadian Mutant/robot mob.



Thanks for reading!

 

Good point, Chiba. Would be nice for Arkadian mobs to drop Ores/Enmatters too.

I vote for Oratans. They seem to be the mob closest to the ones on Calypso that drop Ores/Enmatters.

I prefer that hunters receive items and miners receive ores/enmatters.

Keep in mind:
A-Team defines what mob loots the items/materials, MA only controls the drop rate.

=> A-Team can't do anything that things drop more often. MA can't push a loot into a mob.

 

As far as I know, A-Team just creates a item, tells MA they want it to drop, MA chooses mob + drop rate.


Myself I love when resources drop from Mobs, so if it does on Calypso, why not Arkadia as well?

 

Forgot to mention Miner Bot added in first post

 

i would agree to see them both seperated aswell.

 

Bumping to see if David or Cyrus might have a answer to this post =)

 

I think Spider bombers drop belkar.

It would be nice to have belkar or other MU ores drop from mobs, to help the hunters that right now are just TTing most of their loot. Of course it is best if the ores that drop from mobs are not found on arkadia by mining so the miners are not affected.

 

I think things should stay seperate. i wanted to mention i think some zombies on rocktropia loot pyrite don't know if y'all want to add it to the list.

 

That's a really good idea... Make a ore that is not dropped from mining claims, but only dropped from killing a certain mob.. Then use that material in order to craft some gun or armor parts...

That would get things spinning I guess! Would certainly help hunters a bit with their return rate

 

Hehehehe, not picking on hunters, but if you watch the globals in an hour you see what mobs dropping loot and globals, and you go and try there, improving your chances by maybe 30%..Miners have one option...go over there...so we cant get guesses about whats dropping where,we just run and run like that goofy bunny until we find something.Having special materials drop just from animals is ok,but it shouldnt be ultra rare, the stuff on calypso was just regular stuff we found other places as well. The fact not a lot of ores and enmatters are being sold in Arkadia, at least in my case, is that anything worth less than 110% gets TT'd because if you sell on auction they get their 50-60pec each time and then we get TT anyways, so why bother? If your going to manufacture a lot of something, offer a deal to any miner that can find what you need, that's business right?

 

Surely is! =)
I hope to see some sort of ores/enmatter drop on mobs in the future tho, helps a lot to the whole community =)

 

David said ingame that he'd read this thread and he said it was an interesting idea, so looks like it could happen.

 

Thanks for the heads up slither! =)

 

Seems like we really could use some of the rare ores to drop on mobs at Arkadia to speed up mining and lower the silly 160% prices of some ores just because there ain't enough of them at the auction... I would love to see if a implementation of ores to drop on some specific mobs (prolly humanoids or robots) would cause prices of the ores to go down on Arkadia, which would help the crafters

 

On ROCKtropia there is at least two mobs dropping ore (probably 3), one(two) of which is an ROCKtropia ore.

 

well, i suppose when there will be some sort of new kind of ore only dropped by mobs,
then that would certainly satisfy me as a hunter And miner.
if you combine the 2 you will only make more chance of disrupting the ingame market instead of boosting it.

 

I would love to see some ores which can´t be mined on Arkadia in my hunting loot window! That could even make up for the [almost] missing items. I think frigulite and belk would be good choices as they are much needed from what I heard. Also Garcen could be good but I don´t know if that can be found in claims since I only did very few enmatter runs.

 

Your list is missing Thorifoids that drop Caldorite and Tantilions that drop Terudite(or used to drop it). Drones also drop Erdorium btw.

 

And the ever popular Argo = iron...
