If I read it correctly, the HP pool of Biosphere mobs was buffed up and adjusted not too long ago.
Varmundt’s Biosphere has always been designed as an endgame map (and continues to do so). I understand that you must have the aptitude for it. But the drop rate of essences (for water crating) is what I’m particularly looking at. Whether you are geared enough or not, it yields very minuscule results even after hours of grinding.
Would be great to have alternative options like maybe turning in a higher # of runes instead of having to craft Temple/Soul/Venom Water. Hope this gets considered.

I told lol, when the “newplayers” get to the Varmundt Bio, the whining will start. This topic has already passed, the drop rate of essence increased, as well as there is an exchange of runes + main desk give 2 essences for quest, 100 mobs kill. GL

@Pipo
You don’t have to sound hostile and entitled just because you are a server veteran. But for the record, I joined this server way before you did. LOL.
On-topic: As it turns out there is a rune exchange. That certainly makes things a lot easier!

@AlienSuperstar It makes no difference if you or I started playing on the server earlier, yes this issue has already been resolved, I suggested raising the amount of essence per quest, Muh did a rune swap.

@Pipo
“It makes no difference if you or I started playing on the server earlier” yet your immediate response to my forum post was “i already told lol newplayers will start whining”. The call is coming from inside the house, I fear.
You could’ve said that there was a workaround to my request right off the bat. I didn’t know there was a way to exchange runes until Meat PM’ed me about it. And he did it in a nice way. No need to keep using the “omg new players” card. Unless thats the hill you wanna die on. LOL.
Anyway sorry if I didn’t do more extensive reading. The Biosphere article is already confusing and huge as is. But thank you anyway!

@AlienSuperstar Yes, I do not retract my words, most of the whiners are newbies who have not played on the server enough time, and just want to get everything for free. Leaf is also a veteran, he created this thread too. I’m a rude and toxic person, but I’m not insulting anyone. I am glad you found a solution to this problem. Good luck with your enchanting

@AlienSuperstar Mr Pipo doesn’t want people to start farming the content he’s monopolizing because scamming newbies with overpriced mats make him horny

@AlienSuperstar Seems like people already told you of the alternative way we have. Also, don’t mind Pipo’s behavior. He thinks of himself as veteran player after spending last months grinding and playing alone without competition and that justify his rudeness.
Fun fact, Pipo randomly PM’d me saying x2 Void Mimics were better than Intermediate + Lowest Rgan combo (Thanks, Captain Obvious!) and he could get incredible 204 Crit Rate with Katar + Crap Gears after I replied that combo was a palliative option to ensure critical on higher level monsters with my gears at that time.
The veteran player didn’t know mobs have critical resistance. Hilarious!

I guess this is “solved” and I’m closing this.
