Hi,

 

Could the spawn timers for the Runemaster and Nyr, Sleeper Under the Mountain be revised please, given that there is a very very small player base now on main, there's no competition for most areas anymore, and to say camp a few swords, you could have your main party logged down there for a long time holding you back from doing other things and enjoying the game.

 

Thanks

I think that this is desperately needed. Dvergar has to be the most ignored great development in-game.

I think the paths should be cut down to 2 routes or that two Nyr spawns should be enabled so that Blackstone Rune is not constantly wasted. It was a really neat innovation when it was created, but the drops (even with nice boosts to the drops) do not make it worth going to the area.

 

I also think the XP should be higher, but I have not tested the XP since buffs came out because of how rough the area and bosses are for such limited rewards.

 

Making it so that the Dvergar Runemaster and Nyr are not such a troll on players battling through would be the best boost, and I really think that involves either much faster spawning Dvergar Runemaster, fewer paths, more Nyr spawns, or a combination of those options.

I know staff try to leave folks' designs alone -- so maybe just more regular Dvergar Runemaster is the least intrusive route, but he's a pretty wicked boss for keys. It would be nice to see more boosts to Nyr's drops as well.

 

Nyr's drop rankings, in my opinion:

1. Edge of the Eclipse - now almost only useful as part of crafting Dragon's Breath
2. Blackstone Bracelet - excellent as a 2ac bracelet, but with so many 2ac stat-mod bracelets out, it's nerfed by proxy even though it was a boost to give it 2ac instead of the 1ac that Trev set up
3. Twisted Mithril Band - 4ac ring is nice, but the area is so hard that the ring is not a good reward compared to just buying 4ac rings
4. Templum Venenum - at least it is 250k sellable in Arilin now; thank you -- that basically makes this Nyr's null while still having value
5. Dwarven Rockstompers - the worst drop from Nyr is at least boots; at least Nyr doesn't seem to null on us

 

Only Edge of the Eclipse is worth the struggle, and it has very limited use as fighters are not very common. Even then, it is a crafting material rather than the real end-game. Nyr deserves true end-game drops. It is far more like the GM and Warrant boss trips (actually like the longest and hardest of the trips, with slightly less insane final boss).

 

 

Maybe...maybe Nyr should be boosted into an even more powerful boss with new drops added like a Rose Garland, Frosted Festoon, and other shiny questie equivalents?

That would be epic improvement!
