Gem drop rate

Sorry if this was posted before, but I was wondering if anyone knew how the gem drop rate from mobs is going to be after patch 4331. Is it going to be similar to mets or DBs or pots or sycees, lol, you get the idea.

iknow the idea, but i dont know what rate it will be... hope not too high since that would make mining useless unless you want house or goldore
however it does matter much for the prices the gems are gonna be xD

Most likely the same drop rate as mets

thats just too often and people will go hunt in stead of mining...

what is next? TQ disableling mining?
this is just too often, a gem must be something you must do some effort for and not just go kill 100 mobs to get one, then they will be like... 10 silvers each >.>

if anyone from TQ reads this (and i know they will... everyone here knows already) use it as an advice!

might be 2 times rarer than mets...

cant be too rare since the prices of lowest normal gems are about half the mets'.

and cant be too common (e.g. same drop rate as mets) because there's a steadier and possibly higher income of gems from mining.

1 per 100 mobs is not a drop rate of a met or else they would also be 10silver each ;) also monsters wont drop ref and sup gems so it wont stop people mining

but still... this WILL lower met prices also...

think of it, people go hunt for mets and get gems with it, they get mets/dbs out of the blue mouse as an extra of hunting...

and i know it isnt 1/100 kills i know but it varies every login

and about the prices, STFU ABOUT ANY PRICE plz... it differs per server and the rate of it varies also
its not like, that item is worth X mets, it is also worth X mets in another server... i have played servers where dbs where 60 mets and others 30 mets... i mean you just cant make a real price guide that works on every server xD

I am aware that different servers have different prices and IMO on my server mets are going to inflate in price as there will be less people doing bluemosue as cotobo wont work so they wont be mining ;)

true!

however... i hope they also don't drop normal gems... it should be like... if you kill a lab boss or summin... you get an sdg (i wishes, right? lolz) or atleast a nice rrg...

we shall see how it works out, and i encourage you all to let us know... perhaps when time comes, you will start a nice, useful thread

^^

I don't think met prices will ever get lower. There is always the people who are too lazy to go out and level/hunt. If COPartner is patched by TQ the right way, that number of people will be 100x :) There is also the fact that there are 8 different kinds of gems, and not all of them give the gold needle for the blue mouse quest. Silver needle is just a waste. Oh and on a last note, I hope they keep tortoise gems exclusive to TC mine. I think that's how they should be.

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.

I think they will put different drop rates on the different types of gems. This will keep the harder to find gems like fury and tort harder to find still.

Lets all hpe so sucks if nor fury price drops to something like 1kk

i think it will be same like meteors...prolly

well we all know how cheap and greedy tq is, they will probly just make it the same drop rate as dbs (never)...

P.S. TQ, think of better ideas. >:o [img]text2schild.php?smilienummer=1&text=really, try harder.....' border='0' alt='really, try harder.....' />
