Nobody bothers with it because its not 100%, its the same ***drop rate as the other slots.

Has anybody done testing on the easiest way to achieve capped Imperial Standing Accolades during Besieged? The most recent update gave us the following:

"The system that was applied to certain monsters has been revised, with players now earning a contribution level based on their actions rather than a set amount, and experience points will be awarded according to their performance."

I have since done 3 Besieged. The first one I killed two mobs, then spent the rest of the time curing and hasting NPCs/Generals/Random players. Capped at 400.

Second Besieged, I fought no monsters and only buffed/hasted NPCs/Generals (Prot 3/Shell 3/Haste). Less than 200

Third I did the same only buffing NPC/Generals, this time adding cures, less than 200 again.

I followed the suggestion Eiryl gave me (that is: perform the good interaction, but feed them NO food at all and leave them on "evolve" parental status).

For the ones without an evolution food I found it best to not feed them at all.

That's it, don't feed it, put it on priority with the npc, and leave it alone.

Eiryl gave you huh.

My point is there's already a system in place for Lilith that unlocks an additional drop slot, just nobody bothers doing it.

I still don't see the infatuation with terrible drop rates to begin with, and then measures to improve the drop rate later. And they still haven't learned their lesson with Limbus matter, which is another problem. Idk, just stop making fights with ridiculously bad drop rates and make them reasonable (not guaranteed, but not excessively long either). Seems like more work fixing these fights multiple times instead of just getting it right the first time (CoD)

Considering their previous htbs CoD feels like a fluke or an apology. And noone does lilith the proper way because itd take more than 2-3 people and those farming lilith are likely low level geared, and would rather burn out beating their head against ve/e rates then attempt NĂ— with some others.

The difficulty/reward benefit is not there that's why. I did do the wardens stuff for a while. I saw one double drop in maybe a dozen runs like that. Mostly FA as usual.

Meanwhile kill times were 4-5 times longer than just a straight zerg and much higher risk of wipe.

Since it does not guarantee a drop, why bother with it.

Getting there, slowly.

Those mandies took the longest.

One of my goals is to get all the mementos. For profit, obviously.
