Kalannar 17 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Haven't played since passive leveling was removed. The minerals were easier when you had the passive buff plus potion that increases gem/mineral chance. What replaced the passive buff? And is it easier to get minerals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdnine 23 Share Posted July 8, 2021 So Ambrosia requires: 1 x Empty Flask 3 x Ground Cinnabar 12 x Ethereal Dust 3 x Water Flask 3 x Apples 3 x Ground Halite Except for "Ethereal Dust", where do i get the other things? Empty Flask can be made in Alchemy as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linc 51 Share Posted July 8, 2021 apples come from any tree. Cinnabar comes from Marble motherloads, and Halite comes from Granite motherloads. Most of the +mineral/gem chance comes from the harvesting toolbelts now. You can still make potions to temporarily increase this with powdered bone. All the harvesting potions require an Alchemy discipline to be equipped. Also making advanced runetools with silver and copper can give small increase in mineral/gem chances as well. I've almost filled my bank with stone trying to get quarryman disciplines and still can't equip an advanced hammer. Its honestly one of the worst most soul crushing RNG grinds I've ever seen in an MMO. seventhbeacon and rokrent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalannar 17 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yea that is what makes necromancer impossible. It used to be doable to at least get some minerals. But now with craft advancement based off crafting. It is going to be very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy the common rune, but the uncommon ones (which can only be acquired through drops) are the ones needed to progress through upgrading.

Ah right, and I believe those only have a chance to drop in the pvp areas right? Graveyard Harvesting Organization, Union Local 451 [GHOUL-451] is recruiting, talk to your local union rep.

miraluna 2,832 Share Posted July 9, 2021 8 minutes ago, Gremel said: those only have a chance to drop in the pvp areas right? Correct, you need to have the white vendor rune from the npc vendor equipped + an intermediate tool and harvest in the pvp zones. Skypoint has a higher chance to drop than the 'Arium zones.

Ancistrus 11 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've had no issues with disc drops for harvesting, the first one is brutal, but the ones after seem to come in often enough. Considering you can move discs between characters, it makes sense to have them not drop like candy. People are selling them on their EK vendors as well. So pick your poison, grind some gold for 30 minutes and buy your first green off someones EK vendor, or run around and see if RNGesus will grace you. While not thoroughly tested to confirm, I've found them drop much more often once plentiful harvest gets to 4. So put on a kebab and a harvest potion.
