Galvanized Iron on lategame is too rare.

[Vivi]

Armor and weapon changes made me want to try other armors and I still have boss weapons to upgrade.

But the only good source of Galvanized Iron is Ace restocks ( and she usually has less than 40 of them), monsters/environment drops are 99% Hardened Iron.

I reached the point I have 400 Normal Iron, 300 Forged, 20 Galvanized and 200 Hardened.

Due to the way Ace restocks less of the higher tier materials, Galvanized ends up being the rarest thing in the game compared to the number you need if you wanna upgrade everything, Simulacrum at least you only need one per piece and a Rank 19 thing is good enuff to use at least, but Galvanized caps you at 10~14 ranges.

I wanna have fun with the updated armors, do my silly builds and complete the game 100%, but Galvanized is being worse than Lumenite to farm lol, Lumenite at least I can go coop and have fun, Galvanized I feel I gotta keep doing my campaign and kill world bosses to make Ace reset for about 30 Galvanized only.

Any solution like, a conversion of 2 Hardened becoming 1 lower tier Iron of your choice, or a bigger stock on all 3 lower Irons (80+ restocks like it does with common and forger irons) would solve it.

I think conversion would be great idea!

i too am at the same problem to where i have to buy it from other players

So, to shed some light on how I've found it works (just from 1 player's point of view, mind you). If you have more gear upgraded to need a specific type of iron, it will generate more when you open a new area. So if you need galvanized iron on 2 sets, but the rest of your gear needs regular iron it'll mostly drop regular iron.

In other words, I've found for *me* that upgraded non-used gear makes the world generate more of the better irons.

So, make every set i have unupgraded need galvanized and then pray for extra drops? lol

[!?!]

Yeah you need to upgrade all of your stuff to the same level.

[sunwalker0347]

Then you'll be swimming in it, no need to pray. Also Ace in the start area often sells it

[Vivi]

Ace sells only about 30 galvanized iron everytime i beat a world boss on my own campaign. Its really slow, thats why i posted my complaint/suggestion here, i always buy everything from her

[sunwalker0347]

Yeah the more you upgrade the more stuff she'll sell each time she has new stock too. Again from just my point of view, no code diver or anything. But the more you upgrade the more high-grade materials will spawn in new areas you enter.

And when you finally restart your save, you'll get just the newer materials from the start and that also helps.

if you upgrade your gear, so everything need one resource, this resource will drop to 99% (of curse, resource in one area are created, when you enter it the first time, so you have to proceed to the next area for it)

[Vivi]

My issue is, i have a lot of 19 and 20 gear, so 99% of the drops are Hardened Iron, and i still need a lot of Galvanized.

[sunwalker0347]

I've found that Ace should sell more galvanized the further you get in. I've bought over 100 from her in one go. I know that's less helpful than telling you how to make more drop in your situation, and I'm sorry that's the only info I have.

That said, I believe the crazy junktown merchant on Earth shares inventory spawn rate with Ace, but has separate inventory. So if she's selling you 50 of a kind of iron (like galvanized), he should have it too. I've kept him alive for a whole playthrough and visited him a couple times and his inventory restocked each time.

Just letting ya know this didnt work

[sunwalker0347]

Still working for me as we play. Just letting you know

[Vivi]

Its not "working for you", you said yourself it was just your guess, and i told you your guess was wrong, thx for the try but lets not pretend the issue doesnt exist just because you really want your solution to be true

[Sкiткj3ll]

Me and 2 of my friends got to the last boss and realized we had to upgrade a bit more. What we did was start another one of our campaigns and just raised the difficulty. Now we're swimming in galvanizing. And once we feel ready we'll just return to his progress and kick the ♥♥♥♥ out of that annoying piece of ♥♥♥♥ boss xD
