Southshade Valley spawn has been reduced to young mature

Southshade Valley spawn has been reduced to young mature

Given how often this LA changes maturity, due to it changing hands in landgrabs, and the owners being free to change settings whenever they want, I've changed the maturity listed here to "Varies".

I would suggest that, when changing the spawn, the owners might want to make a post here to inform people, but I don't feel that repeatedly editing the OP in order to promote an LA on someone else's behalf is a productive use of my, or other moderators', time.

I dont mind doing it.


PS: If I keep spotting typos all over the place I'll be correcting them FYI.

Southshade Valley is currently medium/large. 2.0% tax.

Southshade Valley is now low maturity, 2.99% tax.

Tested these with the new single damage plates and corrected a longtime error on wiki. They don't do imp/stab 50/50 it's:

100% stab



edit: actually, I didn't test for shrapnel, but that's pretty unlikely. But if someone wants to run out there with a shrapnel plate they can confirm.

Yeah, they seemed to hit a bit too hard for 50/50 last time I tried.

For testing shrapnel, either OpTac x1/x2 or Infiltrator might work as those have Shrapnel but no Stab.

always suspected something to be wrong there

Good work, thank you. Just for clarity on the test, I guess you did that by ruling out other types using plates and armour that have no Stab protection and didn't decay, yes?

 

[slither]

I put a different single dam plate (AP-6 Stab, AP-6 cold etc.) on each armour part (phantom) and went for a short hunt. Once all armour parts had decayed I checked the plates, only the stab plate had decayed.

Ah, that's a nice way to do it with these new plates. Good idea.

I guess this method might not work on some mobs with low damage, where it's low enough that either armour or plate might absorb all the damage. Should still be OK on Settler or similar I guess. And for bigger mobs, very useful.

Apparently it is not.
My 5A-plates (Impact, Cut) got decay under attacks Kingfisher Young-Old.

It could be that there is some variation between maturities. We'd need to do more tests on isolated maturities to check that.

 

[Kitty]

Fyi...was at Southshade today. Only Prowler/Stalker there.

 

[Erastothenes]

Update April 2022 - same as Kitty at this time. mostly stalker.

I can't look at that pic.

All I see is a big eared Jar-Jar Binks.

'Course the cloud above it is a skull looking down at it, so, there's that.
