I have 54k larceny now and the drop rates on crystals have been nerfed by 75% this is going off data collected from over 10000 Jesters pouches.



-----Pre nerf they dropped at a rate of-----

0.48% Sunlight Archeum Crystals

0.50% Moonlight Archeum Crystals

0.52% StarLight Archeum Crystals



3.45% Sunlight Shards

3.62% Moonlight Shards

3.56% Starlight Shards



After the 1st nerf which was a week 1/2 ago drop rates dropped almost 50% down to

0.28% Sunlight Archeum Crystals

0.31% Moonlight Archeum Crystals

0.30% StarLight Archeum Crystals



2.05% Sunlight Shards

1.98% Moonlight Shards

2.67% Starlight Shards



----Nerfed again after that current drop rates are as follows------

0.10% Sunlight Archeum Crystals

0.19% Moonlight Archeum Crystals

0.25% StarLight Archeum Crystals



1.51% Sunlight Shards

1.52% Moonlight Shards

1.77% Starlight Shards



Im pretty sure it was a bandaid fix to combat the damage done by the botters farming 24/7 everywhere Im hoping once they have a handle on the bots drop rates will be returned to there previous state. Noticed crystal prices have almost doubled as well so this seems to reflect the decreased drop rate and or more people are buying them to craft now.



The other thing I was thinking is maybe the pouch drop rates on larceny that has been lvl up was never tweaked and still reflects the old drop rates so when you lvl larceny you are actually reducing the number of items you get. That or when they added the patch they forgot to retweak the drop rates for us so we reverted back to the old drop rates would be nice if trion would look into this.
