Island of Dawn and Keening Dawn Motes.

Is there a chance to improve the drop chances of these motes? there are times when i am killing even twelve bams in a row without seeing the mote and i would not open this thread but the rewards are already outdated considering that the gold income is halved to what it was four months ago and i do not see any reason to have the motes on such a low chance to drop when the rewards are outdated.

Actually, is there any decent way left of making gold when soloing? I have tried Ghillieglade but its really bad.

    Personally I think the drop rate is fine...it takes about 30-45 sec to kill the shadetop bams on reaper/lance/ninja without the motes and about 60-90 sec on my priest (would love a little bigger open world buff for healers). These Vanguards are already the most efficient in the game...no need to buff them further...

    Not even 50% think we have 10% drop rate on tier 1 bams and just less for the higher tiers

    Sometimes I do 2 quests and get one mote out of 20 BAMs slain, and sometimes I get one in every BAM killed XD. I think the drop rate is fine for tier 2 and 3 BAMs, tier 1 BAMs would be nice to get them more consistently.

    Sure. Just remove the double vanguard rewards from them too.

    I think soon they put those motes in lootboxes.

    Imo, if they dropped all the time it would take the fun out of it. I mean then it just becomes the norm, right now when one drops it's like "Ohhh cool, I can kill the next few BAMs in a matter of seconds." I think it's fine right now.

    I think it's fine as of now but a slight increase wouldn't hurt- i don't know about others, but on my alts (+12 slaughter weapon, no etchings at all) take about 30 to 40 minutes to clear mid-tier bams (all 3 quests) so personally if you take longer than that i would suggest looking into your class a bit more such as rotations, rerollables, glyphs, etc- there's many guides on the forums so check them out they really do help a lot o/

    What is there double about vanguards rewards anymore when the value for alkahest/feedstock and even vanguard credits dropped to half from what it was before when the whole thing was even implemented? At this rate, we fell on the same foot as EU in terms of value for rewards but at the same time EU has 100% drop chance ( again, having 100% drop chance seems a bit broken but neither killing twelve bams in a row without a mote is too balanced ).

    In the NA region they reduced the minimum ilevel requirements for the vanguard requests so that you could kill harder-tier BAMs with a lower ilevel, and they also doubled the items and credits earned from the vanguard quests; as a result, the keening dawn motes were left as is. In EU, they did not change the ilevel requirements or the vanguard credits (at least they didn't at the time, unless they made another change more recently), but instead increased the drop rate for keening dawn motes so it would go faster. Given that vanguards are capped per character per day, I would say that keeping the double credits is preferable, but I guess it's debatable.

    @seraphinush Right cus Spamming on keyboard till your finger tips bleed is the right alternative... Tsk! rotations my [filtered].... We need quick bam fights. NOT slow and steady ones.
    My fingers are just fine. if your finger tips are bleeding, i do hope you pay attention to your game play and get some medical aid. rotations do help a lot- i was able to increase my dps by changing my rotation so i'm sure you can as well.

    If you want quick bam fights, i suggest trying out for imperator gear- it's definitely a big dps boost and you can probably clear mid-tier bams faster than me with it.

    @counterpoint Definitely Not debatable Anyone would agree that finishing a Vanguard IOD Bam Task in less time is more rewarding. No one want's to spend 6hrs hunting bams on over 7 alts. The faster we get it done the better.

    IOD bams are the con of my day.
    The only way you're killing that slow is if you're using Dreadnaught AND are on an unfavorable class (e.g. Sorc, Zerker).

    Then again, if you haven't invested in your equipment, why are you expecting to finish quickly?

    If keen mote drops 100%, then it would be too easy for +15 geared players. But, with less than 10% keen drop rate, it will take 2 times longer with +12 non-OP classes.

    So, I think, EME should increase the keen mote drop rate to 20~25% instead of 1/8 or 1/9.

    This game is too easy already, I don't need the mindless grind to be MORE mindless...
