Talk:List of karma merchant items/Harvesting Sickles

NOTE: In testing the drops from the level 60 Special harvesting tools, I ran a sample of over 7500 "strikes" between the various types of tools (axe, sickle, pick). These tools averaged 9% extra drops of the various types of materials advertised. These materials were 80% tier 1 and 20% tier 2 with the rare occasional higher tier (roughly 1 in 200 strikes). Given the near universal lack of any intrinsic value from the "extra" drops and the massively higher cost of these tools (40 times more expensive than the available plain orichalcum tools per strike), I am forced to conclude that while this seems like a cool idea, it is ultimately just an in game gimmick that acts as a "karma sink" to bleed karma from the unwary. 72.211.183.218 15:32, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Ecks
