Drop rates

[CaptMuffinman]

Map fragment quest is the worst I've ever seen for any quest in any game. I have spent 4 hours a day, for 7 days now grinding out this map fragment and at this point, it is a full on punishment. That is 28 hours... when is long enough, long enough??? I've done the hobgoblins, the thugs, the manor, even the goblin caves. At what point do I actually get rewarded?

Everyone of my buds got the mag fragment within the first 2 hours of grinding this out. Whoever developed this quest, do us all a favor, change it. Make it drop 100% from these supply creates. It's literally the only RNG part that stops people from progressing forward. We already had to work our asses off getting to the creates, now we have to play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ RNG game.

Nothing is more off putting than reaching level 20 while grinding out one part of a quest chain that is ranked for level 13. Designs like this is why I quit these games. It's just a game after all, I've put the work in, now how about making it worth while!?

behind the Town in Throne Fast up on a ledge a lootable box near a named newb Wolf Ragulais or something like that. I got my Map starter drop and saw it again when I went back to it 2 weeks later looking for crafting recipes.

I have helped over 20 people get the quest completed. Some before the drop rate was changed. Since the drop rate was changed many have gotten it within an hour running the route I laid out (two got it while I was showing them the route). Wondering what chests you are searching to have such bad luck.

My route as best I can explain it :
1) head up the road north from Availa til you get to the broken aqueduct turn right and chest there under it.
2) then head to the named wolf that drops the curse resist necklace - just to the right of him on ledge can be a chest
3) drop down to the lake and swim over to the little mountain - chest on top
4) head to the thug camp by the pond - house where leader spawns has a chest
5) continue up hill from there and turn left up steps in ground - along the path on right side is a bit of a rock that chest can spawn on
6) continue in to gob area - is two small caves and 1 deep cave (deep cave has no mobs inside) all three can have a chest (the deep cave chest is on left when you get to the first wide area inside)
7) leave the gob area heading back out towards thugs, but stay to left along the mountain, continue around past the dark agent to a spot where you have a short climb up - once you climb turn left and a chest can be between 2 rocks
8 through like 13 or 14) head to the castle wall on left side - chest just past 2 bandit types - then run back out and along the wall all the way til you hit the invisible wall - is like 5 or 6 possible chests along that wall
last chest - depends on your level) but right in front of the manor on the left side is one - if too low level you might aggro mobs so use your judgement

All these are supply chests. Four of the first six I know have had fragments for most of the people that have run the route. Takes roughly 20-25 mins to run it. There is also a chest in the house with the treasure hunter on the first landing of the steps going to second floor, but figure lots of people grabbing since so convenient.

Good luck - hope this helps ^_^

It's funny, everyone was complaining about this quest for a long time. They finally fixed it and the complaints stopped. All of a sudden though, the complaints started hitting discord and other areas people discuss the game. I wonder if they unfixed it somehow, it would be the most VR thing to do.

I am 1/8 people in a group of friends to not get it map fragment. Now all of a sudden when I run my routes, similar to jennireneex, I still haven't gotten it. I will be giving it one more day of trying and if it doesn't happen, oh well, it doesn't happen. I'll be moving on to a different game.

Honestly dude, it sounds like you came here looking for something to complain about and would not be convinced otherwise.

Uh huh... sure...
Voicing frustrations of problems that push people away is how changes are made. Clearly the devs care otherwise they wouldn't have made the changes in the direction to reduce the frustration of this quest. Which is still very much a problem.

While this message might not get directly to the devs themselves, it will be one of many spread through the grape vine. Which to the devs credit they do listen too because they don't want to recreate the same issues that caused EQ to die back in the day.
