Nal said in destro advice he was working on a fix, but it won't happen till tomorrow. Guess we will have to PvP! :^)

[paps]

I hear order has access to level 25 mobs for 125 crafting mats, but it seems destro does not. This could cause some imbalance with armour stacking.

Tell where are thos lvl 25 mob we can kill and Dest cant?

[radiantknight]

ALL armor tallies are now GONE?! Why? and what of people who slotted them? Seems like rvr is even more unbalanced right now towards melee

[drmordread]

[radiantknight]

[Noiree]

What are now the drop chances for blue and epic fragments from scavenging?

It's because the armor fragments that were dropping were either green or blue, while they should have been white and green. Blue and purple fragments should be more rare, while in reality they were common as f--k. This caused a lot of +74 armor tallies to become common, and some people even had their gear fully slotted with +90 armor tallies. Also, being able to slot high-end armor tallies with ease while physical DPS classes can't spec/stack weapon skill with either RR abilities or talismans at the moment would ruin their DPS and force people to reroll new FOTM classes.

Nalgol said 2% for blue fragments yesterday.

Scavenging is being fixed so that every 25 scavenging levels need to be obtained in the next bracket of 4 levels on the mobs you're scavenging. Basically like this;
Level 1-4 = 0-25 scavenging,
Level 4-9 = 25-50 scavenging,
Level 10-14 = 50-75 scavenging,
Level 15-19 = 75-100 scavenging,
Level 20-24 = 100-125 scavenging,
Level 25-29 = 125-150 scavenging,
Level 30-34 = 150-175 scavenging,
Level 35-40 = 175-200 scavenging.
This is also being done to ensure people don't level too fast; as we saw the first night this patch hit, people were farming for level 100 frags within hours with the bugged scavenging levels, since there was no need or even ability to get to level 100 scavenging first.

Now, there's a slight problem as leveling 25-50 scavenging on level 5-9 mobs is going very slowly. Nearly impossible to hit 50, it seems. Once the experience rate is fixed between every 25 bracket of leveling though, you should have no problem getting back to farming level 100 frags, curios and gold.

Thanks for clarification, Ryan.
But what to do with the chars like Defence? It's KoBS with 2 +74 and 2 +90 talis slotted, there are more on both sides, just haven't seen others yet.

Also, will devs add some lvl 24-29 mobs to IC? Destro lack those to get both skills to 200. Dunno about order, can only speak for destro.
