Gacha Nerf
So the gacha was nerfed pretty hard. Mine no longer produce anything over apprentice quality, where before it spewed all kinds of quality. I don't mind the nerf TOO much, they were definitely OP, but i thinking their quality curve needs tweaking to be honest.

I knew this was going to happen, it was too good of a loot farm. :bandit:

What do you guys think?

Personally, I think remove the random 'items' from the loot completely and just have them as as resource farms (turning stone into black pearls, metal, element dust etc)

The fact they could poop out a 700% damage shotgun, was just insane. They should only ever poop resources, not items.

Change their crafting skill, so that increase the amount of resources you get back. (BTW anyone why what stat crafting skill it linked for breeding?)

I never quite got that good stuff - the 700% shotgun ^^ - but tbh it did seem kinda nuts to get ascendant stuff on tap from your trash. I mean there are bosses, tiered OSDs, and a hard cave, thats really where the good stuff should be.

Nice timing for it tho, your gacha may have stopped pooping you epics, but they are currently raining from the sky anyway lol

My gacha's are now going into the poke-ball permanently. No longer any need for them. I also don't get why people think they are cute. They are ugly as sin.

They are derpy cute IMHO.

Also, I like having a black pearl gacha around. Makes life easier

I guess they are like 'fishing' now. Shame. Pod time.

Personally, I'd make it so they only produce quality items in exchange for quality items. Say, a 200% sword and snow owl pellets would give a random item in upgraded quality. So you could get anything from a 250 shotgun, to a stone pick with like, 500 dura. That being said, I think they should get a resource production buff. After all, it's not like you can get 20 gachas in a row to produce materials, you need to space them out a whole bunch, which requires a very large base for any kind of serious farm operation.

+1 on This.
I'm okay with them giving items, but i think it should be at a much lower rate with much lower quality ceiling. I do agree a 700% shotgun was wayyyy too much, definitely needed tweaking.

I do think they are still very useful. I can craft up 3k advanced bullets with some extra metal (1,000) and end up getting a few thousand resources without having to leave the base. Throw the items in a grinder and maybe make back 50%-100% of the metal easy. although... i will miss those 700% returns i used to get!

To be fair, while the gacha has been nerfed, it still remains extremely overpowered,can you imagine getting a dozen all with element dust? thats 1.5 element every 3-5 min for doing....nothing

Good luck keeping them all protected. Gachas will produce ♥♥♥♥-all if they within range like, I think 10 foundations of another gacha of the same gender, or more than one gacha of the opposite gender.

There is a trick to get keep them happy and high protection when close. Easy to do for 30 mins to farm a few hundred element (100k dust)

How? Do walls stop the unhappy debuff?
EDIT: Also bare in mind, element dust production is super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rare, like maybe 1 in 100 gachas will have it.

Once you get a low level gacha with element dust production, clone it 20 times, cloning a L20 gacha is real cheap
