ancient armory

[g0jira]

HI,

so i have fresh start and checked ancient armory. mostly its guarded by 5 or more spiders, that i can udnerstand, as a high end items. but number of items is silly compared to v0.98 i have found only 2 items, rest were iron plates iron etc. so resources instead of wearable items.

is that normal or i need to check mods?

Harder is better ! ;-)

I also made a fresh start since V1.0 ... less value items everywhere.

i dont say it is bad, just wanted to know if this is correct

thanks mate

Typically only 1 yellow per armory from my experience, sometimes none.
Maybe a tad bit too nerfed, but that's mostly compared to the fact that i find shops are generally too generous with yellow gear.
Especially since both the best shops are really easy to reach.

Thing is you get easily 100-200k worth of robotic stuff to loot and sell from a single ancient ruin clean up, so i guess you can just carry those cats to your favorite shop and convert them into whatever gear you want, that is if you don't have a dedicated smith already.

So i suppose the dev decided to make ruin runs mostly about tech and cats, with the occasionnal suprise gear.

There's also an armory in Leviathan Coast packed with at least twelve security spiders just on the first floor, and it's half in the water so no kiting possible.
Haven't dared to try to raid that one yet.

I think that's the one I decided to explore early on as I bought a map for it. Spiders everywhere the moment I opened the door, but curiously some walked past my party into the water and attacked a leviathan family on the beach. When I recovered I was able to loot.

That's just plain dumb, it's so easy to get a smith to make constant specialist gear.

and yeah, 1 yellow item is kinda low, but i just started again, and my avatar is 25. so whete those good shops can be found?

I suggest you try to find them by yourself, because once you know the location i feel it's pretty bad for the game experience to just beeline there and pack full of top end gear anytime you need something.
I only use these when there's something i definitely can't find somewhere else.
