Belial mats drop rates

Now that we have been blessed with a relatively untainted market, please can the drop rates for belial mats be buffed significantly?

Farming them is quite a chore and makes me not want to even bother with bossing anymore (even though I actually enjoy it). I am one of the weird people who could spend an entire gaming session just doing belial and this season it feels like an entire activity has just been deleted from the game.

I know that the devs want us to not spend as much time bossing, but now I spend almost zero time bossing.

I would love to fight him, unfortunately since I moved into T1+ the game refuses to drop the compass things that work above Penitent. I have stacks and stacks of the 4-wave ones that can’t be used in T1+ and they keep dropping. Have not seen a single one for my difficulty tier.

Playing SFF I’m used to the droprate and find it ok but if you previously bought dupped stacks of husks…

i got a few beliel mats from the mini guy spawning after killing the bosses. Based on my plays i get a mini guy to spawn out of 6 boss kills sometimes 12 kills and rarely 2 out of 3 kills

i havent picked the whisper cache that has materials so im not sure about that.

It would be nice if a helltide chest had boss summoning tokens only instead of the normal gears with a few blood/steels

now there’s an idea. maybe they can make a magic chaos rift in nmd’s that drops belial mats as well.

or instead of the blood maiden, have the infernal lord or something else catchy that you use 300 helltide cinders to call forth a shadowy belial and when it dies it drops 1 to 3 boss summoning mats for his true form boss mode

And thus why being able to get full stacks of belial mats in previous seasons was such a nice thing.

Last season on T4 the lesser boss ambush used to always drop 2 husks and greater boss 4, this season it gets changed (nerfed) to 1~2 from lesser boss ambush and 2~4 from greater boss ambush.

This combined with nerfs to Tribute of Titans is quite infuriating.

They take one step forward but two steps back by removing invulnerability phases but also significantly reducing the boss materials players can get compared to previous seasons.

I think amazingly we have blissfully arrived at the zero need for bossing state. Both because the drop rate on the boss is so bad anyways so there’s no point in doing them, and because chaos armor bingo negates really needing to do any of the bosses.

So a player can just pick their preferred content, farm seasonal reputation and/or currency and just gracefully farm that way.

FWIW: my guess is duping is not actually fixed yet and is simply price controlled to maximize profit. I suspect in 2 weeks it will be duping Armageddon all over again.

Bossing is my preferred content :joy:

exactly this. on all points.

But it is kinda funny seeing complaints about not being able to kinda cheat anymore by buying husks…personally I dont care either way though.
