Compressed Shot Packs...too expensive.

General Discussion Started Last reply 10 posts
Here's the data I came up with when I was breaking down what the cost "Per Shot" would be if people wanted to make Compressed and Greater Compressed shot packs...I think the results speak for themselves on why these things are almost completely NON-Existent!

At the front of each line is an average 'cost' (w/o Profit added) for each shot for comparison purposes...

Rope of Magic Cost, Average Price

Rope Of Magic D Grade 125
Rope Of Magic C Grade 188
Rope Of Magic B Grade 313
Rope Of Magic A Grade 500
Rope Of Magic S Grade 1875

the d/c soulshots arent too bad to gr compress, if you really value being able to carry more than the extra cost. The d/c-bsps is freaking insane, you need like 100 ropes or something crazy like that if i remember right for one pack alone
Just make the ropes drop from mobs. I would rather have a pile of magical rope than suede.

They'd probably make them a craft item first, with the recipes having an extremely low drop rate from Raid Bosses, and the components consisting of at least one expensive mat, like 100 Enria. :)

I'd take ropes instead of METAL HARDENERS. **** fool metal hardeners.
BTW what town has S rope?
cost is no option in time you save

I don't think any town has it. I couldn't find it in Giran or the list of Mammon items, so I just took the data for that item from one of the fansite Databases. (Most likely that rope only exists in the game data, but doesn't actually occur in game...kinda like underwear. The stats exist, but the items have never been enabled in game.)

I wasn't about to run all over the map trying to find a shop that sold the S grade rope. The data is there for completeness more than anything. But for the rest of the rope, I did indeed purchase one of each and check the NPC value. (As well as all the graded crystals and ores I used for the shot costs.)
Thought so, didnt think it was even in game.
