POS stat drops in KBN.

Clear norm about 25ish times. Seen 3 decent stats off last boss (int/stam, stam/wis, str/stam). To get a dex/pa off last your chance is 1/8 for the chest, n 1/10 for the stat. Been told you can't get stam/pa, dex/pa, str/pa from mem vendors anymore(not confirm). Should be one or the other, off vendors or farm for it with higher then 5% of getting a stat. This aint chapter 2 where you farm hoto for 6 hrs for an clean stat.

Ok...so the unconfirmed Sta/Pa, Dex/Pa and Str/Pa if it's true would create quite a situation. By situation I mean issue in the negative sense for a majority of the player base. This would unbalance the relationship between endgame players and the rest of the community. If the endgame community is the only one with access to those stats I see some serious ugly times ahead. Not only would they have the monopoly on gear but also the most important stat combos in the game.

I hope it's not the case and it's just an oversight or lack of info. But I have yet to see any of the stats you mentioned drop from Mento or Shell pulls in my guild chat so far. I will be asking around and paying close attention to what guildies are linking as pulls from both. I watched 3 guildies last night linking the pulls they were getting.......Mostly what I would call Junk stats and only one Sta/Pdef from an OD Cape. I thought it was just bad luck on stats pull but now I'm concerned to say the least.

I reject your reality and choose my own instead!

Noo its confirmed. you cant get dex/pa, str/pa, int/ma, etc from any mem vendors, eojs, etc. And yea the drops are next to nothing.. IF you go to www.rom-welten.com. It explains all the eoj, mem, shell, and boss drops from every mode in kbn. ITs all confirmed, it was their intent to do it this way. Welcome to new rom fellas

I'm going to get alot of hate for this but I actually like it this way. You shouldn't have been able to stat up to end game level stats without running instances. This is the way it was in chapter 1 and 2, no reason we should be continuing with easy mode for getting stats.

This is only going to be a good thing long term for the game.

Even if one takes the "run instance to get stats" approach, the rarity of the stat is still too high. Sure, they made easy mode clean to allow you to tier up your gear for cheap. You still need stats to tier up, and they are still much too hard to get.

god I wish welten came out with that pull stat list before I pulled over 10 stats to find out that there wasen't even a chance.

It's not always good to be right =/

correct me me if I'm wrong but HM drops better stats, at least you can get rogue stats off first boss anyway

You.. can't get fully geared off mem vendors. Ever. Even before this change. Unless you literally botted DoD all day long, and even then you needed shell stats. There is no way you could ever farm enough mems to get endgame off PURELY memento farming. This change is for the worst... even those of us who are running the instance and getting mems, what are we supposed to do with those mems? We should be able to get some stats from mems for our time.. but instead we get to pull things like int/strength. Yay.

This should provide some Drama soon and I'm not talking about the kind where you get popcorn and enjoy the show. This should get rather ulgy and heated.

We got a Stam/HP Seclusion on 2nd boss and Stam/patk on 3rd, much to the delight of our Rogue and W/K. Only thing that dropped for me was an HP/ Mdef though

I'm really liking these +122/+122 X stats on the blue accessories.

Hence the phase "One step forward, 2 steps back" used to describe them. One nice implementation is often followed by a crappy one. Mento stats provided a nice income for part time mento/EoJ farmers like me, and many other mid-endgamers. So this increase in random crap stats just adds another road block.

think on the bright side... now u have enough extra mems to waste on buying simple and master's simple hammers for mems to repair gears when unexpected (or even expected) death happens in KBN

lol there are other things mems can be used for, like buying the mats for ur crafters to make those lvl 75 food/pots... u could even help the mid gamers by pulling the previous stats to sell too

just keep in mind that you cannot use remain crap t5 for items that you plan on using *red* Eternity stats on (and those are on the chests off last boss KBN hard, too - not only the level75 world bosses).

so the currently "best" stats are:
150/150 (proof of legend since 5.03, or Shetamb/KBN hard)
147/147 (proof of legend)
2x 135/135 (shells EoJ KBN-easy/normal/hard)

and if youre able to farm CW boss1, even 136/136 Chaos-whatever (should be easier then before but still...).

so with a loooooooooot of patience you could build an item with 2x 150 2x 147 and 2x 136 and even ignore the Remains and Dragon wilderniss IX ... with emphasis on looooooooot

<3 that

I agree, was awesome in ch2 (wasn't here for ch1). I'm not sure that still applies though, because back then there wasn't such a huge difference between new players and end-game. Even those that wanted to enjoy all content would only have to gear a few times. Now there is such a huge gap, just because there is so much content and so many levels, that it could be possible they need an easier way for the new players to gear up quickly. Yah, it means they skip a lot of content, but I think it kind of needs to be that way in an older game where the new player population isn't high enough to stand on its own (progress the way current end-gamers did).

What the..............heck? Ch2 is over and the good old days with it. the only concern in ch2 was what level 50 or 55, to be honest I can't remember when 55 became the new cap. Yeah back in Ch2 there was no need for "easy mode" or alternative methods to get stats. There were only a few instances to do period, and people were still running around with Green stats. Some one with full yellow stats was a "God" back then.

The game we play now is nothing like Ch2. Yes getting to 55 is still important...BUT it's only to get some gear to push you through questing to 75. Imprisonment stats are for dirty statting twinked alts now........heck I see twink gear with better than that now. You can't 2/4 dirty stat and even be considered for a run above HoS/ZS/HoDL anymore. The game is much different now, it's all about rolling a toon and heading over to CoO and leveling up so you and run Flies and Dog Meat.
