Byzantium Essence

Are there any specific mobs that produce more of the Byzantium essences on an Exemptus (IV) lvl factory? I have gotten more than 1K of each, the Celadon and Cerulean essences, but only 8 Byzantium essences. I know they are rare but the ratio seems awful low.

Byzantium drop rates are controlled only by the factory tiers and the level of perk you have installed.

Looking at the config I think level 3 perk for the shard drops is sitting at a constant value for all tiers, but I'll need to look at that and possibly bump it. It looks like the Byzantium always has a weight of 1 for all different factory tiers, which isn't correct and should increase with higher tiers.

Check and the default config is a bit mean:

#Weights of the Celadon, Cerulean, Byzantium shard from a Tier 1 factory
t1DropWeights = [80, 20, 1]
#Weights of the Celadon, Cerulean, Byzantium shard from a Tier 2 factory
t2DropWeights = [70, 25, 1]
#Weights of the Celadon, Cerulean, Byzantium shard from a Tier 3 factory
t3DropWeights = [60, 30, 1]
#Weights of the Celadon, Cerulean, Byzantium shard from a Tier 4 factory
t4DropWeights = [50, 40, 1]
#Weights of the Celadon, Cerulean, Byzantium shard from a Tier 5 factory
t5DropWeights = [40, 50, 1]

This is from woot-common.toml (factory.perks.tierShard.
As you can see the third weight is 1 for every tier of factory.
So a fair amount would be 1,4,8,12,16.

You can fix this by updating the config file and I'll update the defaults in a future release.

Cool. Thank you for the clarification Ipsis.

Default config values bumped in 1.16.3-1.0.0.0 to be fairer.
