Posted July 14, 2013 Seeing how Hell Hounds are very crispy critters, and can be a royal pain to kill, it would be nice if they dropped coal like lava spiders do. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 14, 2013 By that logic we should also have hell horses and hell scorpius drop charcoal too. But they are hell creatures, not lava creatures, so Rolf may have a different idea for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2013 -1 maybe Lava hound, but not hell hound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2013 I'm on the fence on this, possibly leaning slightly to the side of no to the idea. As was said, I am aware it is a small point, yet it is still a 'Hell' Hound, not a 'Lava' Hound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2013 I like this idea. Even if we don't go with charcoal, it would be nice to have *something* other than meat from them. (every creature should be butchered for meat and other items too, IMO) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2013 I want some crunchy spider legs for dessert I'd do a + for all creatures giving something useful after butchering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2013 Seeing how Hell Hounds are very crispy critters, and can be a royal pain to kill, it would be nice if they dropped coal like lava spiders do. I live in hell hound infested area, and have to disagree that they are hard to kill. Their strength is just bit higher than spiders', and with 40 fighting and 30 longsword skill I can kill one without any big wounds.Anyways, +1 for some additional loot, though if it'll be charcoal, quality of it should be low.

Why should the charcoal be low ql? When lava creatures drop charcoal it is often very high ql, a bonus for everyone as charcoal making is one of the skills that is very hard to raise.

It'd make coalmaking skill pretty useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 16, 2013 Id like to see more drops on all mobs, spiders just give meat.. thats too boring 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2013 Because hellhounds are too easy to kill. It'd make coalmaking skill pretty useless. You'd need a lot more hell hounds than we get to replace coal making, except maybe for a few hard core hunters who would be willing to go far and wide to find hell hounds. Remember, you only get 1 lump now from any lava creature, and even if it can be split to 3 in the bsb, that's not much coal. And steel making uses lots of coal.

Posted July 17, 2013 yeah but its a shame to kill a hell hound and only get meat and flint, i feel the reward should be more. I +1 and i hope for better loot on all mobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Fascinating read, for some of you it all comes down to key words: "lava" and "hell" as to whether charcoal is an acceptable drop. Decided to Google hell and do some research, I started with maps, I'd always thought hell was somewhere magically beside Florida just invisible. Hell, MI, United States - doesn't have lava, but I did see a nice lake. Hell's Kitchen, New York, NY, USA ‎ - also no lava but a delightful Mexican Dinner Menu http://www.hellskitchen-nyc.com/apps.html I then felt a need to see if there was any pictures of hell, thought that might clarify it for us.. http://evangelicalmystics.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/hell-fire-1.jpg Pretty sure that's hell and that sure looks like lava, I bet the steam is excellent for your pores. Then I moved on to the most important source: Wiki " Charcoal is usually produced by slow pyrolysis, the heating of wood or other substances in the absence of oxygen (see pyrolysis, char and biochar). It is usually an impure form of carbon as it contains ash; however, sugar charcoal is among the purest forms of carbon readily available, particularly if it is not made by heating but by a dehydration reaction with sulfuric acid to minimise introducing new impurities, as impurities can be removed from the sugar in advance. The resulting soft, brittle, lightweight, black, porous material resembles coal.[1]" Strange thing is, wiki does't mention lava animals or hell animals....apparently you get charcoal from science and NOT fantasy monsters...shocking?! So after my research I've come to the conclusion it doesn't much matter if it's a hell hound or a lava hound or a trout. +1 for more useful drops no matter what name they come from Edited July 17, 2013 by kajmir 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2013 They should poop out coal if you feed them a potato. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 19, 2013 +1 to idea By that logic we should also have hell horses and hell scorpius drop charcoal too. But they are hell creatures, not lava creatures, so Rolf may have a different idea for them.They are LAVA (melted stone) why should lava creatures give coal (which is product of burning wood or petrified wood) in first place ? And if lava creatures give coal anyway why shouldn't hell creatures give it too ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
