Ashengate has been updated. Defiant armor drop rate has decreased and random loot drops have been eliminated. Chest and leg defiant pieces have been moved to names. All names now have 4 drops. Each name is designed for a specific class. Each class has 1 class specific item on par to Qvic drops but class tuned. Each names also has a chance of dropping an aug or similar type item which are tuned for a small number of classes. The Arbitor of Ash name is the zone boss. His difficulty has gone up and he drops 3 items. It is likely a few tweaks will be needed with update so post issues. PP of 20 to 30 per mob is still the norm. I was going to reduce it and add some random gem drops but if i set a diamond like gem to 1 in 20 drop rate that is like 10pp per kill so I left it alone. It may get lowered in the future.
Gukbottom raid instance will be getting an update was I figure out how to itemize it. Epic 1.0s will be gone, discussing with developers we agree it makes 2.0 too easy.
