As the title says. The really important stigmas are barely dropping at all (Vaizel's, Splendor of Purification, Sage's Wisdom, Doom Lure etc..). This was ok in retail 2009 cause you needed weeks to level up, not here where some people are already 50 in 2 days. Retail solved this with a stigma vendor NPC.

So your options to play your class are:

1- Stay level 20/30/40 for weeks or months, do your x runs per week, log off and don't play again until next reset in a week

2- Create new characters and play everything all over again to run again Haramel/NTC/FT/SR

We are not in 2009 anymore, retail progressed slowly and gave people enough time at the beginning to drop/obtain these. As the game progressed in patches, they recognized this issue at later levels/faster leveling with a stigma vendor npc, but here we start in 1.x with progress rates of 2 or 3.x, this is a huge oversight of classic, without these you can't even use your advanced skill trees.

Among the many oversights.

This is mostly no tht eversion of the game I was hoping for.

Would be netter if they Just add it do ow drop and increase the Chance a bit

Btw I agree with vendor.

I don't remember entry limit on old retail btw, some people farmed for hours and hours until they almost passed out aka physically possible and sold loot like a machine, spawned Fort Instances where ap gain limit/cap was a stop only if there was one (?) on pve ap. Or was there a limit before GF taking over and restriction patches? Entry scrolls are newer thing and this whole system to force players pay even more.

Stigmas are a big issue, these lvl ~20-45 are a requirement to properly play your class and unlock the advanced trees. We are not in 1.x retail where we take months to level up and farm them.. all you see in LFG all day is "WTB x stigma" with almost no supply.

Add a vendor already like we had in retail in later patches.

This shouldn't just be in Suggestions, it's a major issue that needs an urgent fix.

Totally agree it's not even about the drop rate, thats another issue, it's about the current game letting your level to 50 in a week which means you don't drop your low level stigmas before leveling up

Drop rate is not the issue. More grind less crying. You can always go back to NA if you don't like it here - oh I forgot - NA Classic is almost dead due to bots, gold sellers and poor management.

Please add stigma and customary AR to my inventory. I'm not 15 years old to run after mobs and knock out stigmas, or wander in search of ARA, it's too long and difficult for me. And even more so to buy from those who knocked out. I also want skills books for 0 kinar. And please put the loot x50. I'm waiting!

"Everything"

Wait till you discover the game got quite a bit more than just stigmas, somehow I didn't really seen ppl asking for free gear, enchantment stones, godstones, potions, saam herbs, scrolls, buffing pets, ap, medals, and so on.
