The first two runs through the temple, the loot fell like rain! I got pieces to craft gear, tomes to unlock gear, it was awesome! (2 tomes, but I unlocked 2 relics back to back and did not realize, oh I need an RNG piece to craft a relic and unlocked 2 only being able to craft 1... I have since waited for a new tome to use the 3 accessory clasps, but it won't give me a tome!! >___< )

Suddenly with the bosses... I'm getting nothing. Pretty sure one boss gave me two worthless vinethorn pieces and that was it. (And if memory serves, this has happened multiple times.)

Even the big boss? An orb, a Grove core, and that was it for good loot... (Think there was a vinethorn and some bricks... Sarcastic Whoo.)

Grove cores are a guarantee. I get more enigmatic orbs per week just running the temple; I have acquired a total of 20 now, most as random mob loot.


I get to fight these dudes ONCE PER WEEK. And their drops have become as crappy as the non-temple grove bosses that I can smack around any time. Given the restraint on how often I can even fight these, I expect better. And feeling like I'm coming out with nothing is seriously disheartening. Other than the Grove core it feels pointless. And to be honest the barracks boosts aren't exactly something to get all excited about. Maybe the trackers hut for the themed bonus, but it takes 12 for that so I'm a long ways off from feeling any sense of accomplishment there.

At this rate I'll have my only primordial piece to +5 long before I can even craft a second piece of gear. And that's no joke. I live in the temple. I'm 6/8 orbs to +4 and I assume I'll need 10 for +5. Need 12. Have already acquired 20. If I go at my usual rate I'll probably have +4 by next reset and +5 in two or three weeks. Although right now I'm questioning what the point is since my progress will soon be blocked by stupid RNG factors... If no tome or relic piece drops in 3 runs through the temple, that's it, I'll probably be capped out on uses for orbs until RNG decides to stop being a jerk.


Can we get like, ONE guaranteed armor/relic/accessory piece OR a tome per week? Like beat Nynomax and get 1 piece to craft gear, OR 1 tome to unlock gear. I would feel that I gained something rather than feeling a hollow, pointless victory. Actually, no. This feels like A LOSS because now I have to wait a week to even try for loot again... Victory should not make me feel like a loser.

(Edit: much of this feeling of wasted time and loss probably comes from me living in the temple. But baby doesn't allow me on the PC so sylestia is all I've got. Can't breed on mobile because the generator is atrocious with lists of hundreds of names and no reasonable way to find what I'm looking for.... So that's it. Temple grind is literally all I can do...)

(Edit as well, I get that the rest of the temple will be out eventually. But if has the same RNG odds, I still might go through the whole place and get nothing. Even if it's 1 guarantee for the whole slew of bosses across all dungeons, it's still 1 up from probably getting zilch)

Another week, and only 2 enigmatic orbs from bosses and the guaranteed grove core. 1 stoneweave piece (meh) and some vinethorn (... yeah. meh.)

Still no real progress. I get more enigmatic orbs running around the temple through the week :/

Another week. 3 enigmatic orbs. 1 Stoneweave I don't need.

Still nothing useful... And with this my only piece of primo gear is +5 and there is literally nothing else I can do until RNG stops being mean

I am trying to devote as much time as I can spare on getting the additional dungeons released for the Ancient Temple. Although it won't be as complete as I was hoping due to all of the server related issues I have had to spend time on over the past 2 weeks, I am looking to release the second dungeon today.

I have also begun work on Dungeons 3 and 4 and will be looking to get them released ASAP. However, I have multiple other projects to work on over the next 1-2 weeks and then shortly after that, the Winter Festival. Just not enough time atm to get as much done as I would like.

It's more the RNG that's killing me. RNG is a cruel jerk. I've literally lost a 50/50 on gender 9 times before for a sales request. 10th attempt finally gave me a female after 9 males in a row. That is a primary example of my luck with RNG. It's godawful. x__x

If you mash up the last 3 weeks where I know I got nothing, that's 9 bosses squished. (Pretty sure I got nothing 4 weeks ago as well which would make that 12, but I can't recall with certainty so I'll stick with 9.) Even if more dungeons were out and I was able to take out 9 bosses in a week, RNG may still give me nothing, nothing, and more nothing. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the next dungeon will be kinder, or that this one will start being reasonable. But if dungeon 2 is unlocked and I still get nothing in the next couple of weeks, I'll be back to beg once more for 1 guaranteed primo-related gear piece per week.


For now, I look forward to pummeling your new bosses and demanding they give me loot so I can smack them harder next time!! (Huh. Maybe that's why they don't want to give me the loot...)



Edit: zilch from 2 normie bosses in temple, but big boss gave me loot! (codex + 1 acc clasp) I am pleased for now :3

11/29:
total after clearing the 2 available dungeons: 3 enigmatic orbs; 2 grove cores; 1 stoneweave

12/7 total: 3 enigmatic orbs; 2 Grove cores; 1 Stoneweave :/
