New loot

I found a black and khaki dye as well, it's good to see them finally pop up in the loot drops.

The miscellaneous item drops are definitely going up. This is neither good nor bad.

Scroll drops have increased. Good for spellcasters, good to sell because the weight is minimal.

Potion drops have increased. I now find red potions about 20% of the time, compared to 3% before. The number of total potions per drop isn't greater, but the frequency overall and variety of potions has increased. This is good.

While killing disciples west of Beryn, I got White dragon armor in one drop, and red dragon armor in another. Don't know how rare they were or are, but it's good to see variety.

Some drops were still gold only. Sometimes, this makes sense.

Not every creature had treasure. It appeared that way at first, but after entering a new area, the drop rate went back to normal. This is good as remains for every kill is excessive.

Haven't found anything new (maybe the armor above?), but I like the Artifact Update so far.

To overcome my greed and be honest, the drop rate should probably by dropped about 25% lower than it is, and the goody rate per remains dropped about the same (25-30%).

I don't think the drop rate should be lowered at all. Hoever if it must, 10% at most.

I found 2 dyes last night, a leather and a metal. Some sort of brownish colours.

I found a ring with +1 regen and a spell Cure serious ... and an amulet with other spell.

So am I first person which found an artifact?

I think the ring and the amulet are already drops.

And yes, you were the first to find an artifact. Admittedly though, that was when the artifact drops were inadvertently jacked way up in frequency...

Post stats!

Scrolls: Maybe a bit too many. The increase certainly is nice.
Potions: Nice. I'm not finding many more as much as the ones I find are a bit better.
Nuggets: The economy collapses as gold is found everywhere

Way too many, especially in low-level areas
Gems: Probably too many of these as well
Trap components: Almost none now? :`( They were too rare before. Please increase from previous levels
Other crafting components: I never really paid attention to these, or if anyone actually uses them, but they seem to have have become dramatically rarer.
Ranged ammo: Yay! Might be too much
Misc equippable stuff: Seems to be dropping at good frequency
Misc unequippable stuff: I think there is too much of the items that can only be sold for gold. As long as there are high value items dropping (nuggets and gems) this stuff just gets left behind.

I also found that trap componests aren't dropping nearly as much, so if possible could we get a bit more of those type items?

also I had a heal potion drop on a goblin. general rule of thumb, if a bard of like lvl cant id it with the id spell, then it shouldnt be dropping from that creature lol

Hopefully some of these things have been addressed now. Creatures droping equipment that should only drop from tougher monsters, should now be fix! I've balanced things a bit more too, though this is a on going effort so it by no means in it's final state yet.

I love the new drop system, what I like the most is when the scrolls drop because my guy can use them. Although I know the artifacts are a rare drop...well at least the good ones, but I will try and find them.
