Perhaps by "Hippo Tail" I was suppose to kill a specific type of Hippo for a higher chance of obtaining the tail???
I mainly killed the purple dudes in my picture and also some blue ones (both of which have the name "Hippo" somewhere and dropped tails 1/10 kills or something like that)

NOTE!
-100 green gem things was a lot easier to obtain than the 30 hippo tails
(green gem thing = spiritual stone of water and they were not 100% drop rates)
-250 souls I had already obtained through regular play
-I went from like 2% exp to like.. 80% exp by the end of this just to finish one quest
(will update pic later if that matters)
-Also decided to kill the remaining mobs to get the 700 kill reward
-Killed so long in the same area that I got a message asking if I was a bot or not??? Something to do with answering how many L's there were in some rainbowy letter combination

By the way, this is a complaint post
thanks

Drop rates have dropped with the New Origins patch. You get drops whether you have the quest or not, so you can farm early to have your item as soon as you get the quest.

FEEL THE PAIN!!

I had to do it 9 times, and I still have to do it once more...

9 times!?

I'm pretty sure this is just 1 of the long list of torturous working as intended grinds for hero quest huh?

If it were a regular quest I would be more than happy to drop it immediately and do something else like dungeon run but this is lame

Well for every torturous grindfest I put myself through I will post screenshots of my struggles in hopes of some improvement later on

And if not, no worries, 2012 will be a good year for game releases

Did you expect them to drop 100%? You're lucky DSS farming isn't needed anymore. 1 DSS per ~50mobs zzz

You mean that's the drop rate now or before? O.o

When I was on my Monk trying to get combos in a hidden map I got over a hundred.. >.>

When the maps end at 55 and you try to job change at 65... yea....doing the AP route anyway.
or back on THQ when CSS farming was the best way <_>

I'm a noob, I have no idea what DSS is

anyways, if your comment was directed at me,

here's what I'm expecting...

If i need to farm/grind 100 of some quest item, that should take longer than 30 of some other quest item

does that, in any possible way, sound "fair" to you?

[StormHaven]

Actually in my opinion the less of the item is needed for the quest the rarer it should be :|

Same. Either way, you get a wonderful weapon later, so if it were too easy, the work would've be equivalent to the reward. WORK 1 HOUR. GET 1 MILLION DOLLARS. ... What?

ITT: ADD noob can't do the same thing for more than 15 minutes, doesn't understand how good the reward is, and demands the system change to accommodate him. Also, he has no idea what it truly means to grind for something in this game yet.

it is fair judging from the reward that you're getting later.

I do find it irritating that the mobs in the water temple drop the weapon items randomly, and not according to their kind. That should be fixed.

If that happens, increase the drop rate. But I like it this way.
