Tia/Dred is true but Telos and Eso nahh
Telos gives arround 150-250k ap so i guess its not less then kkm
Eso not worth? 50-100k ap for 20min its not worth it?
Telos gives 120-180k for 1 person, if they are paying for the feed, weekly.
Quote50-100k ap for 20min its not worth it?
Again, if you pay for it.
And even paying for it, the gain is far too small for the current needs.
AP gain in Atreia is absolutely ridiculous, not scaled with our population numbers and the AP needs of 2.7+
Now consider:
AP gain has not scaled at all to the massive pop. size of Atreia, and the needs of this current patch. At the very least, we should have the 50% extra gain from Siel like NA has (applies to everything, relics turn in, pvp, ddg/tiak, siege etc).
In the end, once again, the only winners are the p2w who resort to paying for Telos/ESO with Kinah they get from selling coins/buying with quna/buying from RTM (most of which comes from bots).
This is a change from Korea, still present in 2.8.5, nothing external publishers can change.
20kk where? on ely you don't even see one in broker anymore, and the rare seller wants 45-50kk. Some people even go FT on alts just for a chance to snatch Sage's to sell it even if they are not on a cleric.
And I didn't even expect to get it for free, farmed FT and solo'ed Siel for 2 months, nothing. The fact they push you to 55 asap and in the process lock you out from dropping a -very- necessary stigma, is really horrible design of classic. Back in retail you needed a long time to level up, drops were a LOT better, people were running low instances, you would eventually get it. This clearly doesn't work for classic.
Anyway 2.7 brings these low level stigmas basically for free, but in the meantime 1.9 - 2.5, many clerics have been denied the use of one of their advanced stigma trees, it's just bs.
I think all moves should work like stigmas and players should be required to drop them, not just buy them at NPC.
Yes.. if you COULD actually drop them, without having to resort to keeping a low level alt for months hoping for a miracle.
supply and demand. draw your conclusions.
More like complete trash design and complete oversight of this problem with Classic.
Why should we have to pay 45kk just to be able to use our basic dps skills?
40 euro for an inventory row.. also beyond disgusting.
As someone else said, the playerbase is older and better off than 10 years ago (more willing to spend and less willing to grind), but it is not smart going so hard for the p2w route if you want longevity for classic.
True but you spend where it makes sense and there's value; when you are being asked to pay $300 for a pizza, you end up just not buying anything, even if you are rich.
The -random- element of the stones you are -buying- is even more insulting, like you go to a shop, pay $10 and get maybe food or a piece of cardboard in return.
I am not very good at this game but love it anyway but this is why I play more PvE so if I die I am only letting myself down. I have tried being a Spirit master for the first time and I enjoy my companion but if I accidently pull more than 1 or 2 I sometimes die. At lvl 39 I managed to kill Kaliga without killing the others but he didn't drop key but now at lvl 41 I keep getting killed, it makes no sense.
I am struggling doing other quests too, I have one dark blue quest called Protect the Ruins but I keep getting killed in Kyola Temple so never get the chance to get to Fire Temple in the first place . I have a Lvl 26 Templar but struggle with that too, I miss the Aethertech class but wouldn't leave Classic as its like the older AION before they spoilt it with more PvP and hardly any PvE.
I don't know if I should just start again with a Gladiator who I remember was one of the easier classes in the old game. Not sure what will be best ???
Cleric/sorc might be a better pick for you, in terms of dps/survivability.
This is bs, only drops level 37 stigmas, so clerics still can't use the DPS advanced tree that requires a level 34 one.
Leveling will be easier after tomorrow's 2.5 patch. As for kinah.. you have 2 options: wallet or wallet. Classic is a lot more p2w than retail ever was.
The answer to all questions is the same. MONEY!
Gameforge has started selling low drop rate items on cash shop (genius solution to low drop rates). Im sure GF will start selling manastones on cash shop soon.
They do in NA, coming for sure to EU as well.
That came in 3.0 or 4.0 iirc, not gonna happen for now in Classic.
We will then get Classic's.. classic back at 1.5
Get used to this, EU is following the same path/patch/changes as NA, which follows KR. NA currently at 2.8 and we got all open-world loot removed in 2.5. Crafting does not exist anymore besides pots and food.
Simple answer: money.
Why dont we have inner-race dreds/tiaks?
Why is there no coop arena 3v3 and gold arena 1v1?
Why are MR stones so rare? The same about low-lvl stigmas which cost 30-40kk (Sage widsom)
2.7 brings same-race ddg, 3v3 arena, "free" low level stigmas like Sage's Wisdom etc, and free taha weapons. I mostly quit EU until then, waste of time.
Manastones etc will only get worse from 2.5 onwards when open-world loot is removed.
