Hi J Mods and Scapers,

In honor of mental health day I thought this post appropriate. Every one likes completing collection logs, it is rewarding and a great achievement. That said, many bosses can get very grindy. I like that the developers instated the boss pet drop threshold system. I think a similar system could also benefit players trying to complete logs that are very tedious. If an item has a 1/400 drop chance and a player has a KC over 3000 without obtaining this item, it is beyond demoralizing. Therefore, could we rally around a type of bossing instance option that allows the unique drops that have not been obtained to have a higher chance, and balance it by decreasing the chance of other unique?

Thanks!

I completely agree, which is why I think that balancing would be key. If there was an instance mode that allowed for a decrease for log items already obtained and increase for ones not. That way no extra amount would be created that wouldn't exist. It could be a temporary
mode til the log is completed! ...if that is too much just make it so that obtained loot is not tradable from that mode =)

that still isnt balanced

to keep it balanced we keep it way it is. sure going dry something sucks.

Things were working pretty well for Zamorak's drops when he had BLM. It needed some rebalancing work so that farming 50% wasn't the best way to farm his drops, but other than that the core idea seemed to be working. It's definitely frustrating that they took the sledgehammer approach rather than tweaking it.

I guess this would be in a different category of problem. I am talking about improving log completion chance ONLY. I DO NOT want this to negatively impact the economy. A mode that would only let you complete the log (possibly not letting those items obtained be tradable) would not negatively impact anyone.

if its solely to be completing the log. then you can have a scrimshaw that increased the drop chance of an item on the collection log. but the drop disappears when you get it. the scrimshaw only works on collection logs that are 1 item off and doesnt work on pets.

if its just for the collection log then getting the item and selling it isnt the outcome needed. but getting it ticked off the is main goal.
