Farming has always been the most hotly debated topic in TFD. Thankfully, The First Descendant devs reveal a massive improvement, in the form of Advanced Shape Stabilizers, is on the way.
Players are not too keen on repeating the same tasks hundreds of times for a slim chance of getting the item they want. Some even suggested that the drop rates in the game are false. Speaking of drop rates, there is a rare type of consumable in TFD that slightly improves the drop rates when opening Amorphous Materials, and it is called a Shape Stabilizer. However, the Stabilizers are hard to obtain (with their drop rates being around 1%), and the benefit they offer is hardly worth the trouble since the increase in drop rates they offer is quite underwhelming (an increase from 3% to 6% for the rarest drop). Add the fact that it is a one-use-only item, and you can see why the players are not too happy with it. But now, The First Descendant devs reveal that Advanced Shape Stabilizers are coming, offering a massive improvement.
Advanced Shape Stabilizers Are Coming to The First Descendant
A few days ago, The First Descendant Discord channel opened up a live Q&A. There everyone can post a question and the dev team will answer some of them. That is how we found out that the option to paint the default skins is on the way. One fan posted a question about Shape Stabilizers, and the devs had this to say.
We are planning to introduce Advanced Shape Stabilizers in Season 2. (Oops! This is actually a spoiler for the Season 2 broadcast.) Advanced Shape Stabilizers will not make the probability 100%, but they will reverse the low and high probabilities for Amorphous Material, raising a 6% chance, for example, to 30%. We aim to improve the farming experience with Advanced Shape Stabilizers and will consider additional measures if needed.

Nexon promises some massive changes when Season 2 lands, and this is just one of them. Anything that will improve the current farming situation is a win in our book, and these Advanced Shape Stabilizers sound like a step in the right direction. We just hope that they won’t be extremely hard to find.
