Just for your information, you dont need to make that cooking recipe to get the 80%. You can just go to maxroll guide, follow the guide and instead of that cooking recipe or the one you have to spend millions of silver, do the rapport of 1 character, I dont remember her name but its close to Nia and it requires little effort to complete it.
Classic MMO grind. I like it. So little of it in this game that its is a nice reminder of our gaming past. All these types of collectables are a grind. And Its optional to a point. I like them for a change up. Wish folks would stop whining about things. Do stuff that you think is fun.
oh no u have to grind the shit out in a grind game.
I can’t really speak about the drop rate, but generally there’s the 3 rotation spot of what they spawn, and it only took me about an 1 hour and 45 minutes to get all 10 bananas. I don’t find that to be all that bad, plus it gives you a lot of the adventure journal items you are going to need anyways.
This morning I started back on my ripe banana farming, and what I did is instead of bouncing back and forth between the spawns, I ran a circle around that small area to build up death orbs so I could one-shot the apes every time… and for some reason, maybe the time of day? I’m seeing a MUCH better drop rate this morning…
I’ve been at it for about 20 minutes now and unlike the 3 I got the other day in 3 hours, I’ve gotten 5 already!
I’m starting to the droprate may be best in the morning, btw it’s currently 5:20 AM EST here… so I started at 5 AM EST.
Something to consider.
I hope this helps someone else.
Good to know, thank you!
you are better off farming for punika collectibles than doing the banana recipe.
that should get you to 80% easy
Finished all collectibles, am at 79.6^
Either have to do rapport to trusted for one, bananas, or purification daily x7
Currently I’m doing all 3, so whichever I finish first…
Btw, I just got my ten bananas, took forever…
and I finish Purification x7 today thanks to alts.
And here is the fundamental problem with MMORPGs, folks.
I’m here to play a game, not work.
While you’re right, and I do think Lost Ark takes the idea of “work” way too far… in general no matter what we do, we are working toward something… the problem with the way Lost ark does it is with Casino Mechanics so they are forced to hinder the f2p aspects at every single turn, trying to get the player to spend money… which makes every aspect of the game less fun and more work.
Agreed. I will say this again for the folks that don’t get it:
- I can level from 1 to 50 by playing the game. It isn’t “work”. It isn’t “grind”. It isn’t “casino”.
- Why can’t I do the same type of progression past 50? Why does it have to stop and convert to a grindy, casino simulator? Why couldn’t they just put in levels 51-100 and make it take the EXACT same amount of time as it takes to get from iLevel 302 to iLevel (whatever)? Accomplished by just playing the game (Rohendel, Yorn, etc. etc.)
I agree, the game is definitely more fun if you just avoid honing and raiding altogether.
What? For some the grind is the fun part. You expect to get everything for free? You aren’t playing the right genre if you think the grind is too tough.
Man i Love these thoughtless all or nothing thinking types.
Got my 80% getting Hariya to trusted, thanks to whoever suggested that.
got it without the moake food, the 10 bananas or leaves one by getting nia to trusted and doing everything else… just saying, dont have to do the bananas!
I just puked a little.
I spent 2h to get 10
