(2020) Inquis staff and spear drop rate nerf, the worst way possible.

The spear and staff pieces were already pretty rare but now they made them rarer. the problem with this is this punishes normal accounts who train the skill and makes it so people with alt farms still benefit. even worse so is that you can get duplicate staff pieces which screws irons.

The nerf should have been a level requirement such as 107 to get staff pieces or some quest like the one for curses. please rethink this change and make it so normal accounts don't get punished for the dumb mistake that was making level 3s with 12 arch able to get it.

It is probably an unpopular opinion, but let's see how today's change to the drop rates plays out.

The changes that have been made today significantly reduce the drop rate of a inquisitor staff pieces on accounts with a low Archaeology level, in particular in comparison to someone training with a high level Archaeology at the higher level hot spots.
