But, after the first couple of days, the coiners already have gear up so the valley level increases.
In real simple terms, if no one has a star set, then it drops in 1-3 valleys. if they have a 5 set, 5-7 valleys. but as soon as someone has a 9 set, the server wide drop becomes 10s only.
Thats right, its not YOUR star set that affects drop rates, but the SERVER star set. it takes just 1 person to get their gear up to alter the drop rate for the whole server.
Its a tough one to actually quantify correctly, but that has been the experience of a few people I know.
Material drop rate needs to be altered drastically. Especially since you could end up with 500 LAS and no material to use it with.
