Yeah i talked to shade about that in game and he made the same point. With a big playerbase they'd be pvp hotspots and not farmable like they are now. But the idea I thought was to really improve drops across the board to bring other monsters up to par with extremes for gold as they are now? And also I hope to put in some interesting stuff like crystals into the loots? It sorta feels like there is this big gap, you get tons of ruin and might weapons, defense armor, etc. Then nothing all the way up to power and vanq which only ever drop off a few monsters which take a hell of a lot to kill. Which is fine for vanqs, but wheres all the force and power weaps? I've only seen a handful drop, but got tons from THunts.

Killed a few more monsters.

Elder Gazer's I'd say are almost perfect, maybe like 200gp more to make them 1500~? Right now they are 1100-1200 but the ones i killed dropped weapons and gems, also a young treasure map? Kinda wierd.

Crystalized Golem was 1 shoting every bs as soon as it landed, killed ev's near instantly, had some crazy wierd hp loss patterns? When it killed an ev it seemed to drop like 1/5th hp instantly. Very strange. Maybe I'm unaware of some tactic to these? Anyway it dropped like 200 gold and some iron ore, and an arcane gem? This prolly needs fixed, those things should be worth at least 2k, i mean they cant be provok'd, and the gem is unusable currently?
