I myself am hopping it will be a very rare drop rate. I been the last week buying up all the gems i can. I got 4 char full of ref and nor gems of all types. Hoping the prices go up and I can turn a big profit. I'm broke now as I got all my cash tied up in gems. Wish me luck!!

Oh yea and just something to think about. Nor furys at Slow apes. What do yall think is gonna happen to that price.
Should have done like I did, buy the cheap refined phoenix gems (assuming 15 of them are a lot cheaper than a super one on your server). Also on my server some people are under the impression that normal fury gems would be more expensive because they will be harder to mine. So normal price now is like 17mil with dbs being 5.7mil each. So definitely do not buy normal fury gems and sell the ones you have because I don't see normal gem drop rates from mobs being low enough to maintain that high price.

One more thing Bud, how do you know nfg will be dropped by SlowApes? Do you also happen to have info about the other gems?

Bud would be nice if you let us know how you found your info, if possible. Thanks >.<

we should all know that water taos lvl 110+ and all 120+ non rb could stop buying the normal gems from people because they could get the gems for free from monsters....

not really, gems are probably random drop making getting one specific gem harder... (when you only need one more for example)

i guess you mean for reborn according to the lvls ;)

They have this same gem feature on eudemons... The drop rate isnt that rare on there I, when I used to play it I'd just sell gems to npc cause it was common -.-... I dont really know what the drop rate will be for CO though but im hoping it will be the same.

i jusp hope it wont be too often and that the gem mine rate isnt going down much either, there are already few miners on my server and so you almost nowhere gems on the market... if mining isnt gonna get them to you either, there will be no good gems left at all

yeah i feel that TQ knows if they were to lower the rate too much, then they will get a lot of backlash...

...hopefully the know this and take it to mind and not reduce the rate too much

does anyone have suggestions to cope with this? mine botting may become an extinct notion... i fear that TQ is trying to make mine botting ineffective... however, do you all agree that this effects the normal players more?

just some thoughts for you. :)

if they want to get less mine botters, they do it the wrong way...

less gems to mine just means more people go mine botting to get the gems after all xD

more botter means more dbs to get out of bot jail. plus they fixed any way out of bot jail except for paying the dbs to get out. So actually TQ is doing it right if they want more people to bot. looks like they thought about this for there own gain in the end.

Well getting botjailed from mine botting in Twin City mines isn't really a big deal. I for one, would just delete the account, and make another level 15 noob.

finally someone think this from tq perspective...tq doesnt give a damn how we feel when we play, sad or happy..just as long we keep botting nad sended botjail..

and just to let you guys think something, you really think epvp is TQ:s enemy? i dont think so..best friends more like

epvp make bots = TQ says hooray = more botjail = more dbs to TQ

this makes me think..maby in epvp programming ( top ) bot makers are some TQ workers ? any of you guys thinked that ? cuz if its so..i think they make bots fail on purpose and so on..

epvp helps TQ make more dbs..period

just an idea..very reasonable

seems that it can be right...
however i dont think so because a lot of the bots work well and dont get you botjailed (unless you use wrong or in combination with other bots wich conflict with eachother)
