The area where the herb items are dropped has been re-designated among the hunting grounds. Herbs no longer drop in Dragon Valley
Why? Dragon Valley is one of the most popular solo places on 55- lvls. Of course there are people that hunt in party there, but 80% solo. Don't forget, that Dragon Valley is the only place, where you can exp as a healer from 40 to 55 (yes, i know, that healers have to exp in parties, but this was a way too, when a party was not availible).
So it's one of the most important solo places for lowlvls and herbs are designed for solo support. Of course there are not so much 40-55 lvl players, but what would you thing, if no herbs would drop at VoS or Forsaken Plains? And why herbs drop at Enchanted Valley, where nearly nobody is soloing and don't drop in DV?
What do you, players, think about this change?
An answer about the reasons of it from Mistryl or XaenQA would be nice to hear too :)
There are a lot of places where no herbs drop I've noticed. Windy Hill for instance, no herbs at all. There were a ton when I was levelling my noob, that's the only one I can think of atm though ><
None in Tanor Canyon either, spent 3 days there waiting for the SH book to drop and did a lot of waiting and mincing (walking).
and now I finally got it, and moved into DV i will get none there either?
thanks NC, "Lets add a solo player improvement but not put it in x,y,z places that'll confuse things".
Strange, but in Dragon Valley herbs still drops from Gargolyes, but not from the undeads around. So was the idea to "nerf" especially solo of healers and classes with high undead kill ability? An official answer on this would make the situation clearer.
Seems like they are trying to force healers into partys...but duos and non-healer single players don't need healers because of the herbs now...it's all *** backwards. Put em back in DV...hell...put em everywhere. Nuff said.
Why would a bufflo carry a Armor recipe? Why would a Moster Eye carry adena? How can I corpes life drain an undead....how can you kill something that is undead....it's a game thats how/why.
