Scroll for spikes availability

Hello, this scroll has been added some time now and if owled, on avg 1-2 would appear. This suggestion is to allow for better availability which also allocates more value to certain items. Again, another poor game design on neckson part, which we can do better via the crafting scene. Of course, the easier way around this would be just to buff it's drop-rate or add this to Lycans as well...

Crafting Materials @ Gorgon (shoe maker):
- Lycan Toenail x 10-20 (optional)
- Werewolf Toenail x30-50
- Golden Tooth x10
- Mesos Req 10m

Re-using Werewolf's etc; as the mob which drops this scroll, medium tier crafting material, would bring some value for adventurers who're not so lucky on their scroll drop as well as the card hunters ability to re-sell it. Considering on avg 4 Werewolves spawn per map, for which there's only 1 map that spawns Werewolf. And 3-4 others that has Lycans which may spawn Werewolf depending on animation RNG when aggro-ed.

As for Golden Tooth, this could be a rare tier crafting material. Bringing further incentive for gold tooth hunters while it's also mainly used for EOF.

Meso req could be 10m meso or so. With the Lower etc requirements, we could allow for a higher cap on mesos.

Additionally, we could also include a custom Cursed Scroll for Spikes on shoes 10% or 30% into the crafting scene with significantly lesser crafting materials requirement.

*These are rough estimates, feel free to change it up. Shoutout to my discussion peers.

 

I think this might defeat the purpose of increasing accessibility of the scroll since it'd be gated behind an event and time zone.

However, I was already assuming 10% spikes were not yet included as part of the reward pool after converting the Scroll of Secrets as I've yet to hear of anyone attaining this, maybe GM can clarify on this. Would love to see it added to the Reward pool if so.

 

Hmm I would love to think that Items and Materials req for crafting to be Town/Regional based, as part of the crafting parameters.

For this case; Scroll for Spikes (El Nath origins)= Mesos (Base-Tier) + Werewolf Toenail (Common-Tier @ El Nath) + Golden Tooth (Rare-Tier @ El Nath).

Parameters

• Common Tier - Easy Accessibility, Attainability, Survivability
  • Grindable Mobs would suit this category 100%.
  • Quantity required for crafting should be more than Rare Tier.
• Rare Tier - Med Accessibility & Attainability, Survivability
  • Grindable Mobs would suit this category 100% as well with a touch of Rarer specific etc (i.e Leather, Golden Tooth).
  • Quantity required for crafting should be significantly less than Common Tier.
    
  • Considered Boss drops such as Zak (Diamond - Untradeable) /Pianus (Miniature Pianus - Tradeable or Scale - UnTradeable) for Rare Tier but at this point it seems rather restrictive for players (new especially).
    
  • Considered Quest - could be custom repeatable on a daily or alternate day basis (i.e Zakum Cert, Pianus Scream, Hunt XXX mob) but might prove too much work. It may well irritate crafters as a good number of existing reward etcs are 'Untradeable'. However, one in particular for the Orbis/El nath region that might suit perfectly would be the 'Orbis Rock scroll' - 5 Qty for a Daily repeatable with existing value tied to 3rd job/ Zak.
  • Overall, Mob drops seems to be easier and better suit, separating some gameplay away from the bossing scene and indulge in exploring the MapleVerse.

This would not only propel NPC-able etc to FM worthy or Collectibles status but also drive certain Individuals to roam further than the typical stereotypical maps.
