Treasure

[Kit]

How about instead of the same treasure going into every level or critter boxes, you balance it out more. Different and better treasure the higher you go up. More units of commodities, more cash, better paying items, etc. This would be INSTEAD of making chances of finding boxes/treasure based on your level. No one wants to keep hunting chiths if all they have are bundles of 100 in cash and 1-5 units per commodity. However, it makes people that, for nskills, are trying to work their disarming skill or whatever a chance to find a lot of low level boxes without having it be that people hunt lesser things strickly to get more money.

That's still a difficult idea to promote simply because people will be able to kill a lower level creature in a short period of time, thus gaining more QUANTITY even if the QUALITY is lower. They'll still be able to majorly underhunt and come out on top.

i know this is me fucking with the numbers to suit my goal, but look at it this way:

1) it takes me a minute to kill a level 100 guy. that guy gives 100 gold. the risk is really high.
2) it takes me five seconds to kill a level 10 guy. that guy gives me 10 gold. there is no risk.

1 min with the level 100 mob = 100 gold
1 min with some level 10 mobs = 100 gold

the downfall of letting high levels lay waste to low level mobs for treasure by the bulk (as opposed to a low amount of really good treasure) is that, while they might not get as much as if they hunt on level, they still get a hell of a lot at little risk, and it also makes it hard for those of that level to hunt in the area.

i know when people would try to hunt in beetles, if ten would gen every minute, i'd kill eight and they'd get two. or something like that.

once again, me messing with numbers to prove my point, but that's sorta the way it is seen from a GM perspective for now (i think).

This is a really funny conversation going on here. Yaru wins round one, though. And Carrie Underwood wins American Idol. (I hope)

i think a random distribution of treasure regardless of critter or level of the hunter would be the fairest system for all

if the higher your level or higher your skill determines the value of your treasure finds then we will end up with a lot of older players becoming extortionately rich and staying rich


and the poor nooby will enter into HR and take one look at the older guys and think that they have no chance of catching up to them and turn right round and go back out again


if you where in a rl battle with a random amount of people not all of them people will be carrying treasure and they wont be carrying any more or less because of their ability in battle ?????

[HR-Mickey]

In real life, people aren't carrying around locked treasure chests filled with gold nuggets and magical pendants. Otherwise, we'd all be mugging babies and quadrapalegic midgets.

Kit:

In order to use skill as a determining factor, you have to consider a myriad of skills, not one skill. Further, you then have to consider the aspects that augment skill, such as stats, spells, and so on. Not only would it be a poor use of the server's resources to consider fifty different factors in a simple treasure/loot calculation, but it seems like great overkill with the only benefit being to allow someone the full liberty of undertraining.
