Is there a way to incorporate the idea of having stone droplets into the later hunting grounds, the only joy that I take during grinding multiple hours is finding at least one or two of these drops and it ends at esfera which is a super disappointment & demotivates me from training further.

    Im lv 246 atm and tbh i dont feel the motivation to keep lvling at all, at 247 i start getting meso reduction in arcana, at 250 the new maps suck because u get constantly knocked back and there is no way im leveling a kishin mule to 245+, no droplets which in reboot is vital, so whats the point in keeping lvling further? Bosses? Im not interested in doing verus hilla, LET ALONE BM.

    The knockback in the 250+ ares is getting removed (already gone in korea).
    As far as motivation to keep going, simply because you can.
    Droplets aren't vital at all UNLESS you care about bossing. You can OHKO mobs just fine without umbra gear.

    Droplets do need a more viable way to obtain in reboot. Perhaps a weekly reward like VJ has for nodestones.
    If you complete your Arcana/Morass/Esfera dailies X number of times per week you get Y droplets.

    Ok thats nice no more knockback but still, maps suck, if theyvarent giving droplets at least increase meso in bags or make it so that mobs drop 2 bags so that at least we can farm good mesos to keep improving our gear, cuz theres no reason atm to go to the newest areas, no incentive at all

    The incentive is to keep going and get the rest of the story. As well as gain access to the higher level bosses/boss gear.
    But yes, I agree there does need to be more of one, since a lot of players (myself included) don't really care about the bosses.

    Ah yes, the boss gear that's wholly outclassed by things 50 levels lower. Nice one, nexon.

    Exactly this plus if u progress and go to limina , droplets dont drop there so how am i able to progress and get better gear without droplets? And y face a boss/es that its almost impossible for like 99,9% of the population?

    The no droplets in the 245+ areas is really a massive oversight for reboot.
    Either both should be able to drop, or a daily needs to be added to the game.
    Increasing the drop rate in the previous areas doesn't do anything either, since EXP/Mesos is reduced.
    Was AbsoLab treated like this when it first came out? Even if it was, why was Umbra given this treatment?

    It's been long enough for this to be gated by drops/auction house.
    With the old/new changes to make 200-234 easier, maybe it's time to make this easier too, Nexon?

    I cant remember about absolab, when i started playing on reboot u had to gather the same amount of cores as today but u needed to do them daily, which was a big pain in the @ss,now its weekly and less cores are given when completing the quest, but at least u can do it on multiple characters, maybe they havent made arcane stuff easier to obtain becquse they havent come up with the next gear for the next step in progression? Idk
