RipTide Report post Posted January 30, 2017 For me the break quests have been a constant frustration. I am on the steel set and have only broken the greaves. With the weapons I still have the halberd and dragon blade to break of the first set. I understand some quests should take awhile, but it's been 2 years since I broke anything for the quests. The point of this is to see if there is a need and to ask if the % on more grief could be raised. The day is random, so its not like it will show up all the time.

FairyTail Report post Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Ahoy! While it is a fact that I have not spent 'years' trying to break things I have had a couple of periods where I have concentrated intently on breaking things. Literally a week+ at a time! Not much success so far... I have even spent an entire #day of more grief pvp'ing & killing pw's / mcw's / yeti's etc and nothing more than my iron helm broke. Seriously, pretty much 6 straight hours & I managed to break an iron helm... While it is a 'negative' or 'bad' #day, no grief doesn't really seem to be what it says it is.Ok, yes it is true that it is often removed with a stone but my point would be this: it is a 'bad' day so why should it not be really 'bad'?If the % of breaking was hiked up a lot - good! It would actually be a 'bad' #day at last! If it got removed by someone using a stone, the % it went up by / to would be pretty much a moot point! If, however, it wasn't removed - it would work 'as advertised'. Is that really such a bad thing? I do not honestly think it would be so bad if it 'worked well'. People who fight a lot & want to do the quests - even those who don't fight a lot but still want to get them done - would be happy at a % rise (a % 'hike' probably better though...). Additionally, if there was an invasion or something happening when It kicked in at 00:00 it would either be fantastic timing for breaking things OR removed really quickly by those in the invasion so I guess my last question would be this: why is it not a really high % of probability to break your stuff already?Ok, that's my opinion / viewpoint & no doubt there will be people wanting a big rise in % and others who do not so - for what it's worth - that's what I think. Which is enough thinking for one day thank you very much! Back to being ridiculously reckless!!! 145 cap pls * Have fun, be groovy & enjoy yourselves, Fairy. * For the next couple of weeks anyway. If you're reading this in mid-late Feb, then 150 cap pls ty kk np ilu \o/ Edited January 30, 2017 by FairyTail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
extrapolation Report post Posted January 30, 2017 Radu is a genius. People used to bitch 24/7 about how stuff breaks too easily, but after this quest was introduced they stopped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diealot Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Uhm, FairyTail, the Day of More Grief is non-removable by Bad Day Removal Stone. As to the posed question: Sure, why not? Players who are looking to train, instance, farm, or otherwise not break equipment are already unlikely to fight on more grief #day. Changing the percentage to let questers more efficiently finish the quest is not much different than players utilizing peace #day for harvesting quests, sun tzu #day for a/d quest, or Nobel #day for engineering quests, and et cetera. I don't so much care about the quests, but do know a handful of people who have spent years attempting to break things. Giving a more significant boost on a random, non-stone day isn't going to break EL (just hopefully some items). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxine Report post Posted January 31, 2017 I am a geek, so I have actually tracked most of this:since 2012-08-28 when I started the quest: 2012-08-29: iron helm <None>: Excellent, you broke the iron shield! 2013-02-01: Excellent, you broke the iron greaves! 2013-09-04: Excellent, you broke the iron cuisses! <None>: Excellent, you broke the iron plate! Vixen: Wow, finally someone who can actually get the job done! Now, if you don't mind, can you do the same for a full set of steel armor? You gain 20000 attack and defense. <None>: Excellent, you broke the steel cuisses! 2015-03-26: Excellent, you broke the steel shield! 2016-02-28: Excellent, you broke the steel plate! 2017-01-29: Excellent, you broke the steel helm! Vixen: Impressive work, again! Now, I only need a set of titanium armor to be broken, and I should be done with my research. You gain 25000 attack and defense. I usually wear all the unbroken part and a weapon from the breakquest while fighting pretty much anything I encounter (except dragons). No NMT perk or cloak. When I started the quest in 2012 I was about a/d 136/137, now I am 160/161 Wish me luck on the Titanium set, extrapolating from past experience it is going to take me another 10 years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
