Alternative ways to get element
I run a cluster that uses the center and ragnarok maps, its a pvp server with slightly increased rates and no mods. Recently players asked if I could come up with a way to help get element without the need for farming the bosses. As far as I could tell the options were to add it to a supply drop, add some kind of crafting cost or sell it since we have a server trading post set up.

I was wondering if anyone had other possible ways or feedback on things such as altering supply drops and such. Thanks!

There's mods that make it craftable. There's actually quite a few different versions of it and the costs very. Also if I remember right there's 1 where you can alter the costs

Yea, I have seen them, I did find code to use for the server settings to do it as well. Its moreso a question of its its a good idea or a real fix even

Well you da boss right? Tell em were gonna give it a try for a while and if you or they like it keep it if not you have the option to yank it if you see a disturbance in the force. Also ask them what they think about it and to weigh the pro and cons

You could add it to the loot drop table of big dinos like titans and gigas...

That is a good plan, gives you a reason to work together and hunt these super powered beasties down.

I believe the last update to the center allowed you to get the latest ones at that time, I could be wrong though.

As far as I'm aware the config options which allow you to edit drops from bosses also work for standard creatures too.
