I dont beleive that those changed all that much. I just went hunting for the thread that had that info on it and cant find it... (mostly because Im tired) Ill keep looking or if someone else can find it and post a linky great.
So the drop table wasnt suppoused to be changed to not drop the junk parts anymore? Im still getting lots of D/C grade junk flooding my inventory...Full common items stopped dropping but the parts to craft C-D items you can buy in stores is still dropping. They didn't say anything about stopping the drops. So yes you will still get alot of vendor trash while out hunting. Honestly never expected them to remove those drops since they have always dropped even when you could only get low D grade in stores. Yes it is a pain and a waist of space in drop tables but it's NcSoft what did you expect.
I'm quoting the patch notes. Don't shoot the messenger.
The patch notes (translation) contain more ambivalent wording. They don't clearly state that the common items stop dropping.
waste of space? wake up !
you can still craft them.
asking why?
cause additional effect chance while crafting.
true, but crafting weapons or armor had a chance of DOUBLE craft for these grades, barring Foundation.
nobody craft D C items, its a waste of basic mats since you can buy them very cheap atm. So yes its a lot of junk that only waste inventory space everybody i know had deleted theyr C recipes to free slots on recipe book. I myself deleted ALL rare C recipes i had after sitting my dorf *** during a month with shop opened without a single C equip craft atempt.
And if someone still thinks a top D/C equip is expensive you can simple use commom with minimum drawback.
i'm just saying there used to be some additional effect for crafting D and C, but now that these peices have had a reduced crystal count and no longer drop keymats except for raids and kamaloka it has become a moot point.
