Seed of a giant tree 100% drop rate

[Chris]

Guaranteed drop for every invader you defeat?

Wow. Just... wow. As soon as the majority of the community figures this out, there will be literally an endless supply of giant seeds. Invasions will be officially dead once more people figure this out.

Why do you hate invaders so much Miyazaki? :(

[FluffyGuy]

what are you talking about? i killed a few invaders, got nothing

[Magica]

Dude, everyone knows that already.

Invading IS dead. 90% are 3v1 gank squads. I literally see people camping so they can ♥♥♥♥ invaders with three person gank sqauds. Endless Seed of a Giant Tree couldn't make it any worse.

Invasions wont be dead as long as you don't hide behind the monsters lol. Pretty sure they'll attack the host even if a seed has been used. Also; you don't want people to find out but you make a thread about it?

Seed vs Estoc???

[Chris]

For every invader you defeat, the giant tree in firelink shrine drops a giant seed. Considering how easy it is to defeat invaders since the match making prioritises a 1vs2 or 1vs3 fight, farming giant seeds is incredibly easy. Use giant seeds to turn NPCs against invaders, defeat more invaders, get more seeds.

[Bloodyfish]

Is that why there are so many seeded gank squads? Are they just farming seeds?

Have to say, this will help me a lot on 1 vs 1s. Sick of invaders hiding behind mobs when I'm on my own, but it is pretty silly you can use it on gank squads.

But never forget that it's Dark Souls. git gud against the odds

Invading is NOT dead, speak for yourself because I've had lots of fun invading and lots of fun killing invaders....... If I get invaded ill drink all my estus infront of the invader, and then spank him one on one,

Well you're an incredibly lucky/rare sort. THe only good PvP I get anymore is via use of the soap stone. Every time I do a red orb invasion I'm in a world with three people or the second I show up I see "summoning phantom" followed by "summoning another phantom". But I'm glad you have had some good hosts.

It's definitely the only time I've used one. I got invaded and they kept mob hugging to heal when I flawlessly kicked their ass. A seed put a stop to that IMMEDIATELY.

Unfortunately with games like this, if you don't kick up a fuss and make a lot of noise, things don't get fixed. It's not like the developers have a team of people working 24/7 to find problems with the game once it's released, it's up to the community to make some noise. The more people who know about this, the more noise will be made and (hopefully) something can be done about it.

Several people, in this very thread, didn't know that. People sometimes....

I'd expect this to get nerfed.

Also judging by the fact that I've only had a seed used against me in maybe 10% of my invasions, I'd say the majority of the community is not aware of it.
