Just a suggestion but with the many changes to drop rates on Genetic food ingredients and the quest this week to help with the farming of this, is it possible to make Prickly Fruits easier as well? As currently on Valk the average price of Thorny Plant Seeds (which are made from 10 Prickly Fruits) are about 200k. It makes it not really viable to use any of the Thorny skills in the tree (Thorn Trap, Thorn Wall, Crazy Vines). Then maybe we might see more Genetics use Crazy Vines to level instead of relying on Cart Cannon doing 10k all the way to 150.

Another idea also, is to make it so that each Special Pharmacy does not take 10 fruits to make say about 4... Maybe lower it to 3 Prickly Fruits per cast?

Well if they do this they should make Kavro easier to get as well since lvling a GX without EDP is just an exercise in futility. Unless ofc your just lucky enough to leach turn in's every damn week.

That's true, there are all these amazing skills out there but are used only situational... Maybe GMs could look into the skilsl requiring very expensive mats?

They're supposed to be hard to get, so you can't go spamming Crazy Vines and Thorn Wall freely. That's the point. The skills that consume items would be too powerful without the item cost.

There ARE items to limit it's use! SP regen items, like seeds/berries/ales (in almost every conceivable use case for GFist, it's not practical to wait to regen SP, so using SP items is not optional). It's admittedly been rather distorted recently due to the availability of way-the-hell-too-much ale, which the GMs are presently addressing.

Furthermore, upcoming changes will introduce a several-second delay on reuse of Ygg Seeds/Berries.


Also, you shouldn't use a non-potter genetic to prepare thorn seeds, get someone who can get decent rates to do it. 4 is the minimum you will get from spec pharm. On the various potter genetics i've had potting done on, I've gotten averages of 8.5 to 11.5 thorn seeds per 10 fruits.
