Hey, seeing as you're aiming to keep the game close to the original, is it possible for you to tweak the composite manastone bundles in the Danuar Mysticarium boxes back to the way they were?
Specifically, one bundle should drop only level 50 manastones while another strictly drops level 60 ones.
Is there a chance you could improve the odds for socketing manastones? There are way too many failures, even on the very first try, and this wasn't the case back in 4.6 but more like 4.7.
I've been playing since version 2.7 through 4.9, so I hope you feel my pain when crucial features get changed for the worse.
Warm regards.
And if you're searching for a classic experience with improvements, check out Aion Riftshade. As a beta tester, I've witnessed firsthand how they're optimizing drop rates without ruining balance. Trust me, this upcoming server launching in Q1 2026 is worth the wait, with its stable server and enhanced quality of life updates.
