So why you cannot trade in Saltmarsh hay for Star Fragment? oversight? at Lahar

[Redtalktree]

every other Mats you can trade for star Fragments except hay. why is that?
Yeah i know not Lahars persee but the Alter Legendary Ritual, but still...

The trade function was so people who don't own saltmarsh would have a way to get Star Fragments to upgrade their s/s/s gear from other packs. If you have hey, then you own saltmarsh and already have a way to get them...

More like people have 10s of thousands of hay and its trivial to obtain a nebula that way.

Can you show a link to where the Dev's stated that? because owning Saltmarsh and having the luck to pull a nebula fragment are two separate things. I know people who have spent hundreds of hours farming Saltmarsh and have never seen one.

In their release notes it says that people can turn in "pack" ingredients to get a star fragment, but I don't recall seeing a description anywhere of what "pack" ingredients are, and if they are exclusive expansion items.

I havent' had the chance to log in since U55 dropped, but you can't possibly be serious... right?

Saltmarsh Hay is by definition a pack ingredient. And every single instance of devs mentioning this change said "pack ingredients".
I refuse to believe this isn't a bug.

I get that Saltmarsh hay drops way more than other pack ingredients, but they should just up the turn in to 1000 or 5000 for a star fragment. I’ve farmed over ~20k, most of that hoping for a nebula fragment. Would be nice to spend it on something. I’ve already crafted my lev 20 salt gear.

Its not a bug - hay was deliberately left out due to how much more hay you get compared to other pack ingredients

There was a conversation on Discord about it:

I could be convinced to add a Hay one

but the ratio would be different

probably 1k for a star fragment tbh

more hay drops than the other ones

So after completing ~40 Saltmarsh Sagas, I would now be able to get 7 extra Star Fragments. Less than what 1 saga awards.

Insulting.
