Moved to "Wanted" since you're looking for the item.

This was added! Thank you, Stig!

One complaint that I have is that Pendant of Light is even more of a pipedream now, but it seems like Chapel Key drops at least a little more often now.

The rarity of so many keys is really, really frustrating honestly. I get not wanting us to flood the game with everything, but I also think it is weird how so much of gameplay is bottlenecked by keys. I do wish there was a different option for reaching real bosses.

Like, could there be a guarded path like the Spiraling Staircase but with a Burton blocking instead of a Black Knight? Way harder than the Chapel Key path, but opening the area up rather than gatekeeping...

I do wish there were alternatives to the Pendant of Light, especially now that it is 50% less obtainable.

It is not a paladin-only item, so it is rough to have locked away as a paladin-only option. I've previously suggested ideas like being able to craft multiple Bloodstone drops from Resca into a purified alternative to PoL.

Many of these are now on the Nightmist Wiki.

Stig gave me the data to update several weapons on Wiki a long time back, and I think I forgot about this post needing updates.

• Torch
• Crowbar
• Machete
• Dwarven Pickaxe
• Great Axe

...and I think several others that had fewer uses than I realized?

Just heard about Imhotep's new drop, and that was a great way to (hopefully) replace his null portion!

Well done! Great to see things have the nulls filled with useful options that are fitting the boss themes and challenges!

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!
