User blog:Zadymek/Possible Dargon Forging exploit

Since Post-Daimon the very convenient Cursed Dragon-Gorecyclops setup at Midnight Helix is no more I've been working on more convenient ways of Dragon Forging my equipement, at Duskmoon Tower.

Why Duskmoon? Simple: free curatives and both, ample of space and obstacles. Quite pleasant battleground for every vocartion possible.

So, I was repeatedly baiting Cursed Dragons there and slew them, leaving, reentering ...and I stumbled upon curious phenomenon. I was usually burdening myself with a lot of Rancid Bait Meat (cause I like to mass Dragon Forge) when was "out for the job" but noticed that all I had to do is to plant just a single Bait Meat, which would eventually expire over time but even after that it'd stillmake the location very "persistant" towards spawning Cursed Dragons.

It's somewhat similar to Maneaters - we all know that some chests may contain those but nothing is guaranteed so with enough godsbaning one can both "rid of" the Maneater or the opposite, make it spawn. Yet, still there always will be that one particualr chest per map that will have Maneater 9/10 openings indicating that the game, in this particualr time, favors this particular chst as a Maneater's spawn.

My supposed exploit works the same: upon luring the first Cursed Dragon it feels like the game starts to favor the Duskmoon Tower as the Cursed Dragons' spawn.

Now, I know what I'm saying, I was checking my hypothesis, by reentering Duskmoon numerous times - like 20 or 30 - and not a single time had Cursed Dragon replacing dire dragons there. Then, I planted the bait, the bait expired and still the supply of Cursed Dragons didn't dry out. This wasn't 100% guaranteed spawnm just like with Maneaters, but always withing 1-5 reentries I had Cursed waiting for me. Did ~4-5 Dragon Forging sessions like that so far (3 full sets of garments each), and I wonder if this may be considered an exploit, and of use to anyone.

As always I encourage everyone to test on their own and share the results.
