So the Seething Opal has 2 functions:
- Increase x droprate
- Make monsters give Zakarum favour
Now with Zakarum completed, the 2nd is nullified, as there is no repeating reward.
In Torment tiers, only Legendary or better drops from monsters, BUT the monsters that can only drop rare/magic, haven’t been given an alternative, so I’ve done complete NMD runs with only 3 items of loot excluding the end reward.
This also severely diminishes the usefulness of the seething opals other than gold.
Plus:
- Kurat undercity mobs drop nothing
- Hordes drop nothing
- Pit mobs drops nothig
So there’s really only Helltide Harbingers or better to farm.
Suggestions for improvement:
- Drop more items so seething opal can do its job
- Grant any mob in overland, NMD and helltide the ability to drop Obsculite when Seething Opal of resources is in effect
- Add an infinite reward for Zakarum
- Make elites in undercity drop like other elites
