More stuff added to the dismantle black list

Wilko

Anyone else annoyed with how more and more stuff is blocked off from being dismantled? Many more low level items can't be dismantled anymore, including NPC related armor (Sharpshooter, Erg River) and more low level boss dropped armor (vampire gear outside of the spell book are banned) and even low level goldsmith crafted items can't be dismantled. This puts a huge drain on catalyst sources which you need a lot of for element stones and adds to the list of "why does this even drop?" items they were cutting down on with the update. Of lesser note, but still annoying, are the Black Pearl earrings flooding the market that can't be dismantled along with the new filler accessories that were added (ex: Endurance Earrings). It's like playing minesweeper looking for dismantle junk on the market.

Question2

It seems all earrings cannot be dismantled anymore. I cant imagine why they would do this onn purpose...maybe its a bug?

Scheherazade

The earrings could be bugged because it includes (probably) all of them. I tried a few.

I wonder what's a good place now to farm for items to dismantle into catalysts

Edit:
Red Archer is a good place this is how much I got after 6/6 runs- Hopefully earrings can be dismantled in the future.

Question2

I think the only "good" places for catalysts are stuff like the old unveiling truth which is renamed to invasion somethig or other. More bosses = more drops.

But its annoying that theres no hero mode for those and you get a level gold penalty for farming it...

Its so ironic that spirit magic powder is easier to get now.

In speak of black list - is there one?
