World Powder Bomb Currently 82 Supporters! 84.6% Supporters!

Hey, it's simple and I think it'd create great revenue for the server as the trade market and Detlas is constantly being spammed with people trying to get their hands on a single t6 powder... Anyways, mechanic wise, it'll work the same way as an item bomb. But of course, poop out an array of powders of various elements. Ofc, t1 and t2 will be really common, and the higher the tier is, the rarer it'll be to drop.

Here were some quick drop calculation chances of an average powder bomb (ofc, subject to change to either tune down or buff up depending on how op or useless it is)

1 Powder Bomb drops X TOTAL powders out in a circular and even manner like an item bomb. And ofc, the person throwing the bomb can't loot any powders themselves, cuz other ways, pay 2 win.

X will be determined by amount of players times 5 near the bomb in a 10-15 block radius of it.
20% will be earth powders
20% will be fire powders
20% will be thunder powders
20% will be water powders
20% will be air powders

45% of the powders will be tier1
30% of the powders will be tier2
15% of the powders will be tier3
5% of the powders will be tier4
3% of the powders will be tier5
2% of the powders will be tier6

Spoiler: Example of avg powders in powder bomb with 10 people

So let's say there are 10 people near the bomb. That would mean a total of 50 powders would be dropped. So on average, there will be:
22.5 (45%*50) t1 powders in that bomb.
15 (30%*50) t2 powders in that bomb.
7.5 (15%*50) t3 powders in that bomb.
2.5 (5%*50) t4 powders in that bomb.
1.5 (3%*50) t5 powders in that bomb.
1 (2%*50) t6 powder in that bomb.

Now, you may be thinking percentages for higher tiers are way too low. But looking at the current rarity of powders, this would only make sense. Plus, it's not so rare that you can never get it like a mythic. With 10 people at a bomb, there will be 1 t6 powder dropped on average, so for every 10 people, 1 person will get 1 t6.

Edit: Total number of powders dropped that depends on amount of nearby players. Suggested by @Yuno F Gasai

2nd Edit: Not sure how these will be obtained anymore with gc being unpurchasable...?

why not do it like item bombs where the number of drops is dependent on the number of players present and the tiers by their levels?

 

Yeah, probably the number of players is better way to go, but tiers by level, idk. It may give some sort of disadvantage to players that are low lvl and use a bomb in Ragni compared to some high lvl guild that meet up in Rodoroc and spam bombs that way.

 

Item bomb thing is a good system already. I wouldn't use an item bomb at lvl 9999 if I'm only gonna get a 2% for tier 6

 

If we had a powder bomb it would be too easy to get tier 3-4 powders as you can upgrade them unless the powders will not be upgradable which will make this useless

 

The way I see it, barely anyone has gotten their hands on a tier 6 so far. This drop rate system isn't so rare that no one would get it, but rare enough still to not ruin the economy by reducing the price in t6 powders drastically due to the vast amount found in bombs. In fact, averages will even out so for every 10 people near the bomb, 1 person will get a tier 6. Not so bad if you ask me.

Edit: Yeah, seems like each t6 powder are going for 20-25 LE each in the market. Only makes sense to make them rare.

It does take a lot of lower tiers to finally upgrade up to t6... so yeah.

 

Kind of a selfish bump

 

Okay, makes sense to me.

 

Not bad, I guess. I could see it being useful, and helping the server get money. I'm just afraid it may be a TAD bit OP.

But then again, I have not played in the new update yet so I don't know how rare powers actually are

 

The lower level you are, the cheaper they are.

 

Yeah, that's why the percentages and drop rates of higher tiers are still changeable if it was considered too op.

Wait, what? I don't even get what you're saying... Someone can just go on a lvl 1 alt account and buy bombs then. Simple solution to the disadvantage I mentioned for if you were to drop tiers based on lvls were to just have a set drop chance on bombs for all lvls. As powders are usable and useful for all lvls of players.

 

Well uh.. I got a tier 6 earth powder from the earth relic.
Lets just say... I put it to good use on my level 7 warrior.

 

good idea I hope they will make this in game

 

I don't know what to say

 

No offense, but u didn't have to post that if u didn't know what to say

 

We have now reached 30 Supporters! Thanks guys :)

 

I think this would be a really good idea. Although it's kind of op, someone would just shout "POWDER BOMB IN DETLAS WC15" and then there would be 10+ people trying to get powders. Especially with the new demands for powders, there will probably be tons of powder bombs and the value of powders would probably go down quite a bit. And obviously, T6 powders are really good, that's why they are rare in the first place.

 

Yeah, I've pondered the idea that they may be op. Solution could be to lower amount of powders dropped per person to say, 3 or 4. Another could be to just lower drop chances of higher tiers.
