    Default Thank You So Much Devs! You Really Love The Vets!!!

    Thanks for making the grind for Eldritch/Tempest/Sovereign harder! We vets got all of our stuff done before the change. You've made it so difficult to build DT armor that it will be forever before new players and F2P get their desired combo!

    Again Thank you sooooo much...Vets win again.

    The reavers refuge is so annoying with the lotto system that not even booze and sexual favors will get me to run it willingly and I have plenty of alts who could benefit from the armor but its just too **** annoying to run constantly.

    I'm curious, too... the last change I was aware of made it easier, not harder.

    didn't they make it easier by only requiring you to run sos once?
    didn't they make it easier by allowing you to trade up runes?


    now, it is a stupid grind...dumb grind even.
    It would be better if the runes actually just said what they were in the chest. Then at least you could play swap out or just leave it instead of trying it out.

    Are you referring to the fact that they fixed an exploit? (and quite a while ago, I might add)

    Its nowhere near the grind that epic is...and vets have had plenty of time to grind DT armor.
    Thanks for the long time forum user purge of Aug '10 (Sarcasm for those who don't get it)

    what are you talking about? I've been here since 06.

    Original Mechanic:

    Must do Each Quest to collect the three essences Prior to doing Sorjek.

    TO do Eldritch you needed to do Kobold or Monestary (2 from Monestary)
    For Tempest, you did Prey on the Hunter.
    for Soverign you had to defeat the Sorjek optional or save up Draconic runes.. they dropped primarily as the End reward from Sorjek.

    you could save up draconic runes to turn in for Eldritch/Tempest/soverign. RUnes were a very low drop rate.

    -----------

    New Mechanic:
    Draconic rune drop rate dramatically increased.

    Must complete SOrkek Once to get your armor Blank.

    Can trade in Draconic Runes for Essenses to open up the sorjek quest.

    Can trade up Eldritch to Tempest at a 3:1 Exchange rate, can also trade up Tempest to Soverign at a 3:1 Exchange rate.

    So essentially, you can now run it the exact same way as before the change, or you can alternatively run Monestarty over and over and over again and trade up to better unes as you collect them...

    How is that harder?

    Default My reasons for my post

    1. They diluted the lists with total garbage making the effect you want harder to get
    2. You can't buy Tempest/Sovereign anymore
    3. They've raised the cost of the 3 runes Eldritch from 40 to 50, tempest 80 to 150 and sovereign 120 to 450 if you are to calculate them using Draconics
    4. Because of the other crafting in the Inspired Quarter and the fact that it's alot easier to get it done the RR has become a ghost town! So literally harder for new players to find groups...better said good groups.
    5. Casual mode...not that I care...drops only 1 rune per group not person
