crab king Could the Crab King fight PLEASE generate less junk?

[Ohan]

The amount of clutter that is generated in this fight is absolutely astonishing 

the platform shattering into 200 pieces of ice, claws dropping meat, towers dropping kelp and barnacles, CK dropping meat, shell bells, sketch/bp, 3 bottles, all the inserted gems…. ETC ETC 

its just waaaaaaaaaay too much.
 

And on top of this add the purely visual clutter of the shattering ice AND fish shoals spawning and trying to eat all the ice and meat AND THEN the chance for narwhales and sharks to spawn too.
 

It makes the fight just look so chaotic and ill-considered. 
 

The amount of ice dropped should be greatly reduced or removed entirely, only keeping the visual effects and claws and towers do not need to drop ANYTHING at all. 

would also be nice if active CK inhibited fish shoal spawns around it. 

pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaseeeee

I kind of love it, honestly! Fighting Crab King is like busting open a big pinata, you get a wide variety of loot and in such large amounts: broken shells from the shell bells, obscene amounts of ice from the platform, papyrus from the sketch and blueprint, a bunch of bottles, and a whole boatload of meat and barnacles. It can be a bit annoying to pick through if you only want the unique loot, but it's a massive boon and something I always look forward to while farming him: I genuinely spend most of my late-game eating Crab Kings (and his minions. And his severed arms.)

this is just too much clutter in my opinion.. and this isnt even as bad as it can get. Just the most recent fight i did. I forgot to mention the rocks and flint that can drop from minions and towers in my OP.. just more junk on your boat

Crab king fight does not need to drop this much ice and other misc junk, its pointless clutter. by the time ud pick all the ice that wasnt eaten by the freaking fish shoals it would be at like half spoilage.

 

The fight can just get extremely messy for no reason.

On my side, I more annoyed by minions that often refuse to sleep even when playing panflute just aside of them... -_-

 

This huge amount of loot is not a big issue.

This may be because purple gems increase the sleep resistance of the minions; 5 or more purple gems mean the crab guards require more than one pan flute use to put to sleep.

Anyways, regarding the clutter... while it wouldn't make sense, it'd probably be better if the ice platforms just shattered into nothing instead of leaving so much ice around. People aren't fighting Crab King for the ice, and in the Frostjaw's case, there's icebergs around his platform you can mine for ice anyways.

would it be worth it to keep a lazy exploror or a polly hat in your invo?

For me it’s less about the amount of items that drop and more about the massive area into which the items are dropped. I typically spend twice the amount of time cleaning up after a fight as I do with the actual fight. I forget who suggested this but the idea of throwing all the CK loot into a floating chest would go a long way in keeping the arena clean. Bonus points for a chest that despawns with all the items inside when a new CK spawns.
