Persistent ruin items quality problem

  • As the new update came in, which looks like the missing part of previous ancestral ruins update we still face huge problem with items dropping in ancestral ruins. Those have such bad statistics that every single one I'm forced to throw away. The problem is that I have to do it often because otherwise my bags are full and this prevents me from doing certain actions like e.g. buying potions or even fighting in ancestral ruins on levels with possible item reward.


    My suggestion is as follows:


    Ultra simple but very effective way of fixing this problem:


    1. Do nothing except changing stats depending on which ritual buff player is on:


    a) 25% from potion S = stats of items dropped from ancestral ruins increased by 25%

    b) 15% from potion A = stats of items dropped from ancestral ruins increased by 15%

    c) 10% from potion B = stats of items dropped from ancestral ruins increased by 10%

    etc.


    This will slightly increase chance that at least some of them will turn out to be useful and it still won't match the power of items available for hellstones.


    2. Don't force players to have item reward chance and allow them to choose if they want item drop chance or additional gold drop chance. Don't put items on player's inventory slots if they don't want it.


    I would like to ask other players what they think of items from ancestral ruins from scale 0 to 10, how good they are for them? Are they happy with it or they are tired of being forced to throw trash stuff which have weaker stats than non-exceptional items from merchant?

  • Some items are actually really good, whether you're low or high level. Examples:


    Vetka (lvl 150 - 1200)

    Klov (lvl 150 - 1200)

    Tantel/Effenil (lvl 150 - 1500)
    Sandel/Hvass (lvl 150 - 1500)

    Aiedail (lvl 150 - 1200)
    Terani (lvl 150 - 1500)

    Skymning (any lvl)

    Brenfriaz / Hzi (any lvl)


    and many more...


    Just note that they drop with standard stats instead of premium, even if the picture received with the item is a premium one, the bonuses will still be at basic standards. Still, after level 8000, almost everything you get (except weapons) beats what's in the store.
