So i'm excited about the new servers I'm just curios will you be upping the drop rate on Element on the Whitelist server? I can sorta stomach the 18hrs it will be to Raise a Rex if it is worth the risk to get the Element from bosses.

Don't forget it's a no wipe server, you have plenty of time to forward plan your breeding schedules.

I'm well aware of that:) I will be joining this server because its a no wipe/ more casual friendly though as I have brought up before the current drop rate is atrocious if we want to have fun with some Tek gear. 1.5x the drop rate would be sufficient to curve the grind and allow some fun with it.

Keep in mind, no raiding, no wipe .. might bump it up a bit more so people can make Tek bases and such... but that will be after all the bugs are ironed out ..

Yeah fair enough it will be weeks before people are even thinking of Doing a Boss anyways its just something I thought I should bring up ahead of time.

I think it should be ok with current rates. Remember that it is a no wipe server, no raids, and with 20 'perfect' stat bred rexes going in and two - three players with grappling hooks and compound bows. It MAY be too easy otherwise

There are some youtube videos you can watch to give you some ideas on efficient ways to go against the bosses:

Seen that video, its Nerd Parade server they use this mod for their Element after bosses.

Fair call To be fair I haven't beaten bosses since the tek patch so I may change my tune when I go for it

No that mod is only for their latest server where the whole focus is only going to be on pvp tek nothing else. That mod has been set up for pure pvp what would be the point on pve you would be full tek in 2 days, where is the fun in that?

Yeah I am conflicted on this one, I think Tek should be achievable however it should be the most challenging item on server, for people to strive for if they want to. Lets not forget that my thatch palace will last just as long as your Tek death star replica, as there is 24/7 structure protection.

Increased rates on PvP cluster? Go for it, as there is a time crisis to get that achievement and utilise it pre-wipe.
