Hiya folks!
We're at 3 cr atm, so as long as no one does a cr increase, we should be good in not very long.
Meanwhile, aiming to keep XP at quadruple, so it's extra cool to level lowbies. Need 30 coins per day to keep xp at max though, so if you come across coins, I'd be happy to buy em. So far, got sunday covered, but will need more for monday. Though lucky for us, our beloved chree has set coin drops to x4 over the weekend, so it shouldn't be too tricky to get a few coins now.
- On a more technical note, I'm not entirely sure exactly how the cr decrease works, but it takes quite a while when it gets low, so doubt it'll be at 0 before monday. May even push Tuesday. So some patience is required.
But assuming we get some time at 0 cr, and can find some essence then, it means we'll be able to have an extended period with pretty nice server stats. Meaning this is essentially a question of delayed gratification - low cr for a short while, so as to ensure high cr and high drop chance for a long while :)
Trying to coordinate a bit with who does what once we're at 0. Essences drop in trighton, forgies, spiders and golems. Forgie sanctum and vault is covered, thanks to kid and pole. I'll try whatever is leftover. If anyone feels a calling and wants to help out, that'd be very cool!
Hoping to try x15 drop chance at 0 cr, too, to see if that works. From what I understand, (low) random CR is the relevant factor for increased essence drops, so hopefully an increase in drop chance will do something good. And if not, no loss - assuming (high) drop chance doesn't negatively affect the chance that essences drop. But for that to happen, we'll need quite a few drop chance essence. I have 2 at the moment, but hopefully will find more while waiting for 0.
In any case, hope to see you in game!

We're at 2 cr now, so things are looking good! Just sorted today's xp, so should be real sweet to level, now. :)

I assume as CR drops, not just reaching 0 that essences drop rate would increase. With that assumption I am not sure at what rate the increase happens but with it at 1 I cleared the 2 courtyards in Trighton plus the main map they connect to and did not have an essence drop. Relatively small sample size but that’s quite a few baddies. Will be curious to see the more detailed info I know Diz will provide

.. A few hours after we hit 0, while waiting for people to log so we could try with x15 item drop chance and 0 cr, it went to +4. No message about anyone upping it. Jim tells me that pole said this is a scripted thing, so as to help players?

Hey, forgot to tell you that Chreelister scripted it to go back to 4 once it hit 0 and then the server resets it'll go back to 4. This completely slipped my mind until a couple of days ago

Yeah, this is true. Maybe I should have mentioned something also. But once it hits 0, and the server resets, it goes back to 4, the same thing with chances too, but its like 3x, iirc.
