I wish LE in caves come back along with some in realms.

Scavanging events are really good for marketplace :)

My thoughts?


New LE's should have their first time in the realms.... and from then on, caves only. Caves don't flood the market as bad, is why I think this.

Would be nice to get balaurs....

Come on, Forn, you said we'd continue to have scavenging.

it appears that the cows no longer thing much about the caves being a viable option anymore, which is a shame, because it sinks quite a lot of gold, even with all their efforts to ruin it

How about another double xp weekend, tied in with scavenging? - ie you only get double xp if you get a certain drop from the caves and use it like a potion, with the effect wearing off after 24 hours. Could be a fun way of sinking some gold and getting use out of the caves

How about just putting some worthwhile Legendaries in the caves? :lol:

Prefer to see them in the old style events, that's why I was opting for something that allows for both :D

Old style le's are great, don't get me wrong, but they destroy price and do nothing to sink gold.

We've had some LE's and by all accounts will continue to have them - a cave event is more beneficial to the long run for everyone involved, though. Merchants don't have packs full of worthless gear, the marketplace gets some relief, and people who really need/want the gear that's dropped have a shot at it without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Ok then, LE's split between old style events and in the caves as well as the odd double xp event? I missed the last one, and now I thought of a double xp potion I wants one :lol:

LE's in scavenging MUST remain in play as a viable option for certain LE's. I certainly don't want to have Reborn Dragons and Reborn Guardians released all over the realms to be farmed ad infinitum, thus dropping the value of my Writhing Ward to virtually nil. There are quite a few useful LE's that can be released in the caves from time to time, thus making for a decent gold sink and giving a bit of relief to levelers who need to purchase potions such as EW1500, which tend to go up in price when there's no LE. As evidenced by the 12 fsp price they were listed at today.

So please keep LE's in the caves coming on a fairly regular basis, whether new or old, or at the very least put something more interesting in there than what's currently available.

New LEs that were introduced in the caves, should stay there IMO

How about old style LE events were the creatures drop recipes, some components of which can only be found via LE scavenging creature drops that are released at the same time..

I think both old-style LEs and Cave LEs have their purposes and both should be used, when needed.

Hmm.... have a plentiful component on the critter with the recipe as well with a horrible extraction rate and a fair amount of those needed along with the the important parts needed from the caves? Keep the stam sinking at the same time, but encourage cooperation between multiple players, maybe.
