Why so much corpse wax and granite

Every undead enemy has corpse wax on it (at least those in 5 skull scenes and mines, not sure about <5 skull).

Every iron and copper node gives granite, usually 2.

I know mob loot will be getting reworked in the future, but I don't see the reason to continue to flood the market with these two commodities until that happens.

Suggest changing these from being a guaranteed drop to a chance to drop that increases based on scene/mob difficulty.

 

I think they drop so much Corpse Wax is that it is used as a reagent by a lot of spells and in a few potions by Alchemy as well. The only way to get it other than a reagent vendor is from corpses or hope an enemy mage drops it.

As for Granite... well most crafting that takes granite uses a lot of granite. Even with how much it drops it is very easy to run out of it if you are crafting any deco from it.

 

I always assumed it was meant to make up for the fact that skeletons have rusty/shoddy weapon drops in loot, regardless of tier. Whereas I've seen bandits and kobolds move from rusty to normal weaponry at tiers 4 and 5. Not all of them, but I see the shift beginning there that I do not see in skellies.

 

Also, Corpse Wax is one of the few reagents that cannot be found in the wild or grown with agriculture. If I go looking for Black Pearls, Mandrake Root, Nightshade, etc... I can usually come out with pretty good quantities. Garlic which I have some more trouble finding is easily grown.

 

Agree with your points @Lifedragn. But I don't have a use for corpse wax. I have about 15k of it. I wonder how many players in a similar situation...

 

You can give it to me if you'd like.

 

if you don't use it why don't you sell it? that's like 30k

 

because it's what we're gonna use to repair daedalus.

 

They go pretty fast making potions now.
