Dear Lineagers! Draco is back! Nice dragons Draco and Lyn Draco are back to Elmoreden in Helios Update! They brought new gifts and are eager to meet Elmoreden habitants. Help Draco and Lyn Draco to hatch out, and you will be generously rewarded! 1. How to get Draco Eggs? Hunt mobs and collect eggs of different size: Keep in mind that you won't get event items from monsters 9 and more levels below your character. Hunting monsters is not the only way to acquire eggs. Speak to NPC Servant of Flames Aslan and he will give you Agathion - Spirit of Flame. When Agathion is summoned, it will give you eggs at certain time periods. You can get a next egg from Agathion the next day after 6:30 AM. Here is more details on this process: 2. How to hatch eggs? First, speak to NPC Servant of Flames Aslan and he will give you Agathion - Spirit of Flame. You can find Aslan in every big town. Attention! This year the Agathion will be available only for characters Lv. 85 or above. Equip your Agathion and summon Flame Spirit. It has unique spells which will help you to heat eggs to the required temperature. Agathion has two basic skills: Pa'agrio's Hand and Attempt Incubation. The first is used to heat the egg to an appropriate temperature, the second - to facilitate incubation. Click twice on an egg in your inventory to summon it. Upon summoning an egg you will feel the effect of Attention to Draco Incubation that won't allow you to summon other eggs. Special interface will help you look over the heating process. in case of game restart a summoned egg and temperature interface are dismissed. Draco eggs summon is only possible in peace zones! Summon an egg and immediately use Pa'agrio's Hand skill to heat the egg to an appropriate temperature. Basic egg temperature is 16°C. Small Draco Egg's temperature can be raised 1-10 degrees at once, while Large Draco Egg can only be heated by 0.1-1 degrees. Heat the egg up to 37 °C but don't go higher than that! Small Draco Eggs should be heated within 20 seconds to 26-37°C. Large Draco Eggs should be heated within 25 seconds to 36-37°C; the closer the temperature to 37°C the better. Be careful: Pa'agrio's Hand is less effective with Large eggs, you will need help from your friends! Small Draco Egg is personal and belong only to the character who summoned it. Attention to Draco Incubation puts your target to the egg, even when you are in a party where one of the members summoned an egg. In the same way, players will not be able to heat small eggs summoned by other characters. When being in a group, summon eggs at some distance from other small eggs, or just leave a group in order to proceed with incubation. Moreover, it is important to remember that even after reaching the appropriate temperature Draco may not be incubated. For example, incubation from Small Draco Egg may fail even at 36°C. Optimum incubation temperature is 37°C sharp, so the closer you made it to this level the higher chances you have to complete incubation successfully. After reaching the required temperature (scale will go yellow) use Attempt Incubation skill upon a heated egg. If hatching is successful a small draco will hatch from the egg; he'll give you a gift and disappear. Upon successful incubation Draco will give you Draco's Gift. If you heat an egg to 37 degrees precisely small Draco will reward you with Draco's Shiny Gift. The gift you receive does not depend on egg's size: only on temperature at which Draco was incubated. If hatching or heating is unsuccessful you will get Shattered Egg Shell that you'll be able to exchange for event items at the event NPC Aslan. Heating Large Draco Eggs requires cooperation: party members should heat an egg to reach the required temperature. When heating large eggs a player who summoned the egg receives special reward; so does the one who heated it to the highest temperature (if several players make the same contribution in heating process, a reward will go to the character who made it the first). Special box will inform you of the details of the heating process after the incubartion: contribution to heating, rank and name. Upon successful incubation the character who summoned the Large Draco Egg and the character who got the highest rank will receive two gifts from Draco (will it be Shiny or not? It depends on the temperature at which Draco was incubated). Other party members will get one gift. Upon incubation there is a chance to meet a uniquie blue dragon: Lyn Draco. After hatching, Lyn Draco will reward the character who helped him to appear in Elmoreden with a Lyn Draco's gift! Please notice: Lyn Draco will give you only one gift regardless which type of egg it incubated from (e.g. upon meeting Lyn Draco after heating eggs x50 you will receive only one gift). To meet Lyn Draco you should be quite a lucky adventurer! Finding Lyn Draco does not require optimal temperature (exactly 37°): just hit the temperature when incubation is possible (the yellow indicator). Here you can find the table showing the chances to meet Lyn Draco. 3. Small Draco Eggs with improved reward NPC Servant of Flames aslan can unite several of your eggs in one. 10 small eggs will create Small Draco Egg x 10, while 50 eggs - Small Draco Egg x 50. You can obtain 10 or 50 times more rewards respectively. Small Draco Egg x 10 and x 50 can be obtained only from event NPC, you will not get them as a loot! 4. Aslan's lottery You can play a game with Aslan: bring 50 Shattered Egg Shells and get one of the following: Small Draco Egg Large Draco Egg Draco's Gift Draco's Shiny Gift Be careful! Aslan can trick you and you might get nothing at all! New rewards arrived for the new Helios expansion! According to the incubation temperature you will receive different gifts from dragons. Here you can look up what is inside: Draco's Gift Spoiler: Upon opening a chest you will receive a random item from the list Draco's Shiny Gift Spoiler: Upon opening a chest you will receive a random item from the list Lyn Draco's Gift Spoiler: Upon opening a chest you will receive a random item from the list Shattered Egg Shell exchange list: Spoiler: Click to see the exchange list Take a good care of Draco and Lyn Draco, and they will make it worth your while! Additional Information: Event items drop rate is tripled from 18:00 till 02:00 server time (CEST). Known Issues: After incubation is completed a yellow target indicator remains on a floor. New Draco Hat: Wizard item has a typo in its description: STR + 2, DEX + 2, CON + 2. The actual passive bonus is: INT + 2, WIT +2 , MEN +2.
Where is best place for farm eggs ? atm I can farm 40small/30min in prime time, at weekend I will try compare drop rate prime/normal time.
Event is obviously not working as intended, on prime time egg drop rate has same chance than not prime time (amount also), it can't be that on last draco event people were making x4-x5 more eggs per hour in prime time than compared to nowadays, also in russian event they were getting way more than we're
The current event settings for EU are completely the same as for the Draco event that recently finished in RU.
The server with: -No dimensional raids -Custom dimensional castles with half of the functions from original -Half of the revelation skills not working -People dropping with 1 PK -Bugs too many months after update is released -Biggest server delay I have ever seen in any server -With maintenances for 12h because it's hard to fix a ''shots lag'' And you still say that it's working as intended instead of reporting it to your gm team or engineer team so they can check if it's true or not. It cannot be that you're dropping so few eggs and almost same amount as in not prime time, something is not working as intended (yes I know how this event are workng, x amount of items dropped in whole server per minute)
The whole idea of boosting event drops during prime time is not just a boost to let players farm more. It's about compensating high online during the prime time. The less players are farming mobs at a time, the more event items drop. If you login PTS or even Live server within the first minutes after maintenance/restart, you'll notice that event items drop almost from every monster. Oct 7, 2016 What should I say if I personally saw those event settings in the config file.
I am just saying that there is something not working properly, and you gave more weight to my argument, getting less items than russian servers, means that there are more people farming the event than on russian servers, which for me is really hard to believe (could be but since there is no info disclosed about online numbers, it's just a guess), either that or like Janko said the number of people in server increased latelly (which I also doubt) About item drop rate after maintenance, during Draco part 3 on live servers , for 10-15 mins after maintenance it was mostly 1 item per mob
First of all i can see that you dont read what people are writing. Your team should start working on reading skills . All of you. He said that " No difference between prime time drop rate boost and non prime-time "And its actually true ,since in the day (lunch time) for same period of time with same toon on same place you are getting same amount of eggs as on prime time . And please dont come to me with things like "because more people are farming " in the last 1h of the so called " boosted (haha we belive you) drop rate" when people are already sleeping drop is still terrible. And after all this -you are asking ,i will quote : Simply conclusion : Either you didnt saw the config file and you are liar. Or you have no idea what are you watching .
We all know that patches installed into 2 or even 3 different environments can never have different results, simple as that. I will leave it really clear, if you want to check it, do it, if you don't want to do it, don't do it, up to you, I'm not complaining w/o proofs and I'm not playing this game for 2 weeks I know when something is broken and when it's not
I heard that from tonight you will have chance to drop eggs when buying l2store. Items from store are considered mobs. Go farm ! Hello Lacie o/
I think even if I share the event config with all the numbers and values here, you won't believe it's true and applied to Core server. So what's the point to prove anything here? That means it's nothing more than your personal subjective feelings about drop rate that have nothing to do with reality.
Event items drop has been ALWAYS depending on the number of online players on a server. Most of you know that event items on PTS have a tendency to drop from every first or second mob. In other words, there is a certain number of items which are written in a file Amount=X (X is a number regulated by developers). There’s also a certain period of time, during which all this amount is dropping and it is called Drop_Tick=X (X stands for seconds, or, to put it simply, it’s a time of all Amount drop). So, for example, if there are only two guys on the server, let’s name them Jack and John, who are killing mobs and getting items, the whole amount will be divided between them two. However, the more people are currently playing on the server - the lesser each of them can receive. As for increased amount of drop in prime time, there are some special parameters TimeVariables in the event configuration file. There are 3 parameters: from midnight till 2 a.m. (amount 3) from 2 a.m. till 6 p.m. (1 va); - basic amount from 6 p.m. to midnight (amount 3) So this value is boosting the basic Amount. If the basic amount is 100, it means that in the other periods of time (Time Variables) Amount will be equal to 300, and with Drop Tick being fixed. We don’t know why did developers make a special parameter for the time period from midnight till 2 a.m. Maybe it’s connected with the beginning of day and night... Some technical nuances. P.S. Who, how and why are setting the parameters Drop_Tick and Amount, depend on event item's value. Generally, The better are the event rewards, the lesser is Amount parameter and the more is Drop_Tick parameter (the time between item drop is longer). One does not simply install an event on official server (even without localization nuances). Localizator’s task is to to choose an event from the list and to order it from Korean developer. Then a long period of discussions and agreements about rewards take place. Depending on it's basic value (which is written in the scripts and can be seen on ****), the item is added or not to the reward list. Moreover, it's average market price is being considered. Then, a total amount of the items which are going to appear on the server after the event is over, is being counted, as it is important to understand how will these items affect the economy. Developers are scrutinizing all the information and that is why events’ releases are often being delayed as NC rejects some rewards. It may be too imbalanced for the economy or an item may have been created exclusively for Korean version. Maybe some of you remember, for example, Gi-Sung Bae's Scroll or the cute Agathions with Korean name Jang Hyu. So, that’s how event preparations look like. And there might be several versions of the event item list. When developers think over dozens of variants, all deadlines are usually past due. And all these arguments might be endless. And if it was a New Year event, for example, it could have been delayed till February. That’s why everything is usually prepared 3 or more weeks prior to the date.
