This is just how the wynncraft drop tables work

are they changeable
steel leaf
are they changeable
Yes and No
earnest minnow
what does that mean
steel leaf
I believe we could make every hive mob not drop anything except the tokens
earnest minnow
oh
steel leaf
They also likely drop earth powders because in the system I believe earth is the element that beats thunder in the big rock paper scissors
Which is like
Air < Fire < Water < Thunder < Earth < Air
I think
tall crow
wait so if you kill any thunder resistant mob it will more likely drop earth powder?
flat jolt
pretty sure powder elements are not tied to anything and if a mob drops powders you'll just get an even distribution of each element

On tm earth powders are cheapest and water most expensive. Like 20 eb diference.
warped geyser
what if hive can be farmed for powders 🤯

in what world is earth cheaper than fire and air
tall crow
in what world is earth cheaper than fire and air
fire is good, air isnt that good for weapon but armor is good
tall crow
earth is more expensive than fire and air usually
why
fire used to be the best powder in 1.20
lucid juniper
and now its hard nerfed?? XD
tall crow
it isn't
lucid juniper
whats ur ign
tall crow
why
lucid juniper
🤯
tall crow
oh i guess im wrong
lucid juniper
no way
tall crow
yeah i guess this is the result of the etw meta and the earth spell mythics falling behind the thunder ones
lucid juniper
or maybe the result of fire being really bad now
tall crow
it's not really bad...
lucid juniper
yea but it is really bad
tall crow
they turned it from additive to multiplicative
lucid juniper
without looking it up, whats the courage buff of 2xt6
tall crow
20%
lucid juniper
exactly, its bad af
tall crow
20% multiplicative is not a bad af perk
lucid juniper
compared to other powders definitely
tall crow
also all fire mythics and the dual elemental (convergence) are usable except for maybe ignis
tall crow
compared to other powders definitely
quake and chain lightning do absolutely nothing on spell
except for spellsteal which courage also does
tall crow
rage warrior 🤯
courage is procabble 4/5 of the time and is not locked to 1 class
for consistent usage
lucid juniper
also for spell water is just better
tall crow
yeah i dont disagree with that
lucid juniper
so fire is useless
tall crow
especially since it triggers ms now
lucid juniper
except i use fire on tstack still
tall crow
so fire is useless <:like:700049689487343735>
it's objectively worse water but if your weapon has fire damage it's better
lucid juniper
yea but that's niche cuz every other weapon is better now cuz ehp got cancelled big time and dmg skyrocketed
like main powders are earth thunder water
so ofc their price is highest as well
tall crow
yea but that's niche cuz every other weapon is better now cuz ehp got cancelled ...
you just said ignis is not bad and then said every other weapon is better
lucid juniper
doesnt make ignis bad tho? just cuz everything else is better
compared to the other weapons it definitely is bad, however its still a great and fun bow to play
tall crow
what about things like monster
lucid juniper
monster is great for lightbender
tall crow
yeah
lucid juniper
otherwise, definitely not
and lightbender is just rlly neat cuz it cant die, but id say now arcanist is way stronger
tall crow
yeah but the thing is
you usually powder your weapon with the element it deals
like if you are saying earth powder is better then why isnt everyone using earth powder
lucid juniper
like if you are saying earth powder is better then why isnt everyone using earth...
earth powder is best for warrior imo, by far (not sure if wep has no base dmg that can be converted)
also it's just simply better and more needed than air and fire, so it costs more
lucid juniper
thats why i specified the base dmg, cuz it prob deals more dmg with just water powder. not sure tho
im running hero
lucid juniper
yea but in the end water thunder and earth are still way more used / needed than air fire and so they cost more
tall crow
yeah but that doesnt mean fire and air are really bad, they are good options for their respective weapons
lucid juniper
true, my bad. compared to the rest of the powders in most use cases as of current patch(es), fire and air powders respectively are less wanted / used and thus cost less in the trade market on the playwynncraftcom server. also, since patch 1.20 of the game "wynncraft", the fire powder recieved a huge nerf and is now not the best powder anymore, by far.
tall crow
i mean it wasnt a huge nerf but yeah water is better now
lucid juniper
nahh its pretty big
tall crow
210% was not multiplicative, it was additive
lucid juniper
pull out a math rundown, especially with a) lower dmg values and b) high end dmg values and compare them. also keep in mind the shorter duration and the fact that in 1.20 fire powder was easily stacked.
