	So I had occasion to use my legitimately farmed Eardweller this weekend, and it was giving less than 60 spell points per larva. I though it might be a bug with my character, so I spawned another batch and passed some off. Nobody got more than 60. WTF, Turdbin, you are so petty that you had to piss on it for everybody because you gave some away and you can't stand your players having nice things? With all of the bloated sacks of HP we have to beat down now you should be doubling the output, not halving it. Fuck You�

	Must.... Sell .... Mana Pot.... The Loot Table Nerf ( weak pots instead of high end ones ) was too obvious, lots of people complained, so they had to roll it back. Other things were less obvious. Now it's not as if mana was hard nowadays... Be a little bit more careful with your mana, use the right destiny and you'll be able to go at least from one shrine to another one without any mana shortage.... Even on EE.

Mostly I'm just pissed at Turdbin's approach to, well, just about everything. This change doesn't screw me over or break my build, it just annoys me, and gives me one more reason to strenuously avoid giving them money. There isn't enough broken crap in this game to fix, you had to go back and nerf a years old item? Some people are palidins out to punish dupers, I'm a paladin out to punish shitty companies. Or not, that's sounding too much like work, and with all of the crap they have dumped on this poor game it's hard to care about it at all. Maybe it's just time for another half year off

	I'm not familiar with how much it ought to give. Are you using it on a non-artificer? Arties get more out of all the clickies.

Each larva is supposed to give 100 SP over 2 minutes, hardly game breaking, and now it gives between 50 and 60, mostly 57. I tried it on a fleshy wizard, a fleshy artificer, and a WF artificer and all 3 gave numbers in that range over repeated trials (I think I did a total of 18 larva) eighnuss wrote on Mar 14^th, 2016 at 4:32pm: some entities exist for the sole purpose of educating others "what not do to" is just as valid a lesson as "what to do" i personally appreciate each individual lesson turbine has given me LOL, too true, just last week my 10 year old didn't want to do math homework, and my answer was "Do you want to grow up to be like the people who run DDO?!" and the homework was done in no time. I had previously tried using "Do you want to grow up and work in McDonalds", but that apparently is much less of a punishment than working at Turbine. I guess at least McDonalds has tasty food and you get to see people.

I remember using one, once. Several years ago. But then I tend to play so I can skip shrines. 100 SP is pretty unimpressive to start with. Bumping it down to 60, over 2 minutes, makes it a fucking troll.

It's not a bad emergency shot to get enough for a dimension door or a death aura to get you back to a shrine, but you're not going to nuke your way through a quest on it. Troll is exactly what it is.

	So it's 60sp/min instead of the old 50/min? Sounds like a buff to me.

Oh ok thanks, re read the thread and no idea where I got that they were now only one minute. Last time I used them was in the old caster only chronoscope runs so don't remember how they work.
