Can boss drop tables please be re-evaluated?
As everyone knows, it’s currently PvM week in celebration of the new combat changes. I’ve been doing lots of GWD2 farm for reaper points and noticed that these bosses are plagued by these awful drops.
There is nothing more demoralizing than getting a Vindicta kill that’s worth 2k…

Can you guys please just remove these junk drops?

There’s no reason on earth a boss kill should be worth so little. A basic frost dragon kill is worth more than these extremely common junk drops

Yes I agree. Maybe stone spirits be a "bad roll" and it's rare to hit. Sort of like HSR and blurberry special? But there is no reason stone spirits should drop so often from varies bosses.

I’m not an Ironman, but my guess is that the irons are grateful for it because they need to get their own ore for smithing, and this is combat-related way to lessen the skilling grind

I'm not iron either & I like stone spirit drops, how else am I going to cap out this bad boy?
Oh, yeah, & I not going to buy them on GE, some of them are stupidly priced.

Even if they removed stone spirits, you'd probably just complain about other low value drops. Stone spirits are just the biggest offenders in that regard. I'd rather see more consumable uses for stone spirits or have the amount and type of stone spirits on drop tables rebalanced again. After all, in most cases with pvm you get them at a faster rate than you can use them up.

If you could convert these into lesser amounts of spirits that can be used at seren stones, I'd use these up for afk.

there is a massive massive surplus of banite and necrite spirits

#

and in contrast, animica spirits basically don't exist for midgame irons and luminite/runite/low level spirits require a conscious effort to acquire for endgame irons which tends not to be worth it

they’re worthless for the majority of players

The problem is that with many stone spirits you get far more of them than you'll ever use up in mining, and some stone spirits don't appear often on drop tables. I'd rather see a rebalance on the drop tables and add more uses. Besides, what would you replace stone spirits with?

maybe universal spirits
like have t90 spirits can be use in any gathering skill getting elder log, both anima and sailfish

So, just to clarify, if they rebalanced stone spirit drops (making the more common ones be on less drop tables; making the more uncommon ones drop on more tables) & more direct and indirect value* for low-tier and higher-tier stone spirits was added in other skills but they stayed a similar value, would you still advocate for the removal of stone spirits? Would that change anything? Would these new uses have to in specific skills? Would any of these changes have to significantly increase their general value? Or would you still object to them existing and advocate for their removal?

*direct value being uses for the stone spirits themselves; indirect value being more uses for metal ores and bars

Make stone spirits more user friendly, and give more use to metals in general.

We should be celebrating stone spirits & more bosses should drop them more often 👍

The only reason people give a damn about them at the moment is that they help make mining training hard afk.

I wouldn’t really complain cuz the other drops while worth less are much more valuable, like the dwarf weed seeds, they’re cheap but in return become valuable cuz of herb runs
Same with black dhide, it be worth more than stone spirits cuz people process them for do or disassemble for materials.

stone spirits just feel bad, they’re worthless for the majority of players

Other less valuable but much more useful resources

Stuff that ok, might not be worth in gp but useful in invention materials or crafting purposes

I’d rather Vindicta drop a middle finger (absolutely nothing) than stone spirits

Stone spirits DO NOT need to exist. At all.

might as well an empty drop than garbage

Kinda sending mixed messaging here. You say that you'd rather have other drops that are more valuable either in terms of gp or usefulness, implying that your primary issue with stone spirits is that they're not as valuable gp-wise or in usefulness as these other drops. This could be rectified by adding more uses to stone spirits or metal ores and bars. However, you also seem to object to the very idea of stone spirits. So do you object to stone spirits as drops because they're low value and not useful and therefore "junk" or do you object to stone spirits because you dislike them as a concept?

as an ironman i like stone spirits, but the drops are usually too small to be relevant. They should enhance the amount of stone spirit dropped. Maybe ten times the amount...
