HM Skill book drop rates too low

[Samyaza]

Got mine, quest bugged, ended up without quest and volume, support/gm are trolling me, that they can't restore the volume for me, but sent me Hongmoon secret technique fan to my mail 2x just to block my inventory, since you can't delete it. WP

I doubt they would make this topic here if they weren't in NA/EU

 

That isn't the problem. But IMHO all these moaning and whining needs to stop because what we have at L45 is already pretty much given to us on a silver platter requiring us to do very little farming compared to other regions. You can see the difference in my edit update. ;p

I didn't say I ran it 12 times, that was someone else. Our issue is the fact that it is RNG, so yes there is something they can do about that. Remove the RNG. It wouldn't be that difficult of a thing to make it so you get an item from the dungeon, and have a NPC that sells those skillbooks somewhere at a reasonable price. 100 gold for a skillbook is not reasonable, especially since the most coveted skills are not gonna just be 100 gold. Grinding is not the same as content, something like this is not a great way to occupy time once we're at end game. Grinding is fine, but when it's such a low chance to get something that probably won't be what you're trying to get, that's just not how a game should be played. You have to be insanely lucky, not just a bit lucky, to be able to get what you need.

yea wrong person on the 12 run thing mb. removing rng on the skill note, no. This is something you should be grinding as we are at end game atm till more content comes. 100g seems like a reasonable price to me, its a rare drop, its pretty nice to have, and quite helpful. So if were not grinding for our end game, then what are we going to do? As for this game, its suppose to be like this since this is an rng game, grinding and farming is needed. If you think grinding for skill is horrible, try going for Blackwyrm Claw. That ring is 400g on the market and theres only 1 or 2 I see everyday. Hell im at end game and im just farming for gold to buy the skill and use for other stuff when more content comes out.

the way i look at it, you don't NEED the book for playing your class decent. I see it as a bonus. like a piece of loot in wow that makes one of your abilities better. If you get it, awesome, if not, meh. you can still excel.

Hence my question to the OP, which region did he compared with to come up with his conclusion that skillbooks drop rate is too low, when we already skipped tons of grind. ;p
