You have got to be kidding me. (Bellicarium-Killing spree)

Due to a recent update, the bellicarium and killing spree shop have been turned completely useless. With the fact that you no longer receive any points for doing pvp battlegrounds. Now, this causes a huge problem. For many players, and im sure this isnt for myself specifically, there is no longer any way to get Semi enigmatic scrolls, and even other resources. However, this addresses the semi enigmatic scroll issue. Now, the only way to get them, is to either buy them from other players, or farm IoD. In some rare cases, some dungeons do drop them. And with the new jewelry that came out, we need them mroe then ever. Ive spent around 350 scrolls on my jewelry, to NOT get the rolls that i want, i thought oh well, rng you little rascal...but then i found myself in a pickle. One hell of a pickle at that. 160 in game gold for one (1) scroll. To get them back, it would be around 56000 gold. Now to some players that might seem like pocket change, BUT. Even rich players can have really bad rng, and put 300, 600, maybe 1000 scrolls, in one jewel. And then what, everyone buys them, and then what, theres none left? Do we really have to wait for events to have them in bulk? Taking them away took away the enchanting bonanza box, which was the best thing about battlegrounds and pvp. Since you could buy them with that. And thats not talking about the mats that could be bought besides those boxes.

Now just to show in perspective, i know it might sound repetetive, but it took me around 2 months to get 350 scrolls, since EVEN bonanza boxes are rng. taking that out, naturally, we are talking maybe...1 semi per island of dawn quest, maybe 2 if your lucky, some dungeons drop 1 and is rnged through 5 or 7 players, ace dungeons maybe? Ive never had one from there. if you spam and spam, you can get about what, like 15 a day, if you grind none stop, which is completely ridiculous.

Id love to see changes to see, either to see them come back, or another way to buy them, clock is ticking, how i see it, the semi's price have already gone way up in the broker, from 98 gold each to 160, in around 4 days, since now its beginning to become a problem. Tic toc, soon there wont be many left, and they will be sold for what...500 gold each? Thats just gonna be stupid.

I really hope that something can be done about this, maybe ive missed a way to get them, but you get the jist of it. Its a resource that we needed, and now the only reliant way to get them, is gone.

Please help, Sincerly

    I used 600 semis on a power ring. Sad times

    1 semi per IoD quest is extremely lucky already. I consider myself really lucky if I get 3 semi per day.

    But yeah, we need the bonanza boxes back, one way or another.
  • And here's the thing right, not much will be done about it, we will ALL have to wait those events to grind them and stock up. And not only that BUT we have to deal with Event bullcrap, the lag, which makes grinding, an incredibly hard task.

    I used 1.3k ses in one earring for my Valk.

    Talking about sad times.

    If you thing about it, I could have sold them and bought a pvp earring with perfect rolls from broker for half the gold i would make from those ses.

    @KarmaTheAlligator have you considered farming jewellery from dungeons or tokens?

    Now is what I am doind and is not that hard and time demanding.

    Sadly you could run or trade countles of times and not get the best rolls for your class, but having 1k ses don't garantues you either those desired stats.

    BHS/EME love doing this thing where... they give you something nice (i.e. bonaza boxes) then take them away once they realize they're a little TOO good, I mean why stick a good way to get semis in-game when you can just stick guaranteed semis in costume loot boxes, right?

    Its a stand still. @ElinUsagi Its very similar. If you farm dungeons and tokens for jewels, the odds of you getting the rolls you want are near 0. Althought yes they are not none, its almost the same thing. Its a vicious circle. Jewelry to not reroll, or reroll to not get more jewelry.
  • And also Yeah, thats the other problem @Ardire you cANT get them reliably except for bying stuff, and the best part is, you get one. NOt 10, Not a nice stack of 25 or 50, you get 1. And the additional prizes if you dont want your costumes, are spellbnind, alkahest, and feedstock. And its not like everyone can even afford the things that mEME release for costumes. And then the weapon skins, mounts, it stacks up something ridiculous.

    @ElinUsagi Can't farm for the Key jewellery. And I have all the correct rolls on my jewellery already (thanks to the 200 bonanza boxes I got from the anniversary event), I was just commenting on how incredibly long it takes to get a good amount of semi from BAMs.

    Well. Yeah, your drop on IoD are similar to mine, we have no luck there, I know some people that farm like 20 ses in 30-45 minutes from IoD.

    In the end all is about luck ._.
  • Everything in Tera is RNG based, however, putting over 100 semi's in your jewels shouldnt be a thing. complete rng on a resource that is now very scarce, is horrible. Some people do get lucky on IoD, but even 20 ses, thats gone in the snap of a finger.

    Semi enigmatic Scrolls arent the issue, it’s the generalized accessories that are, example:

    Why should my accessory get healing rolls if I am a DPS? Also who ever even uses the decrease poison damage stat?

    If it wasn’t for these extra rolls you chanes to get the ones you need are increased and it would cost you far less ones.
    They should change that and not the availability of semi scrolls.

    That is extremely valid @Grimoir , However, as right as you may be, they wont change the actual rolls of jewels, ever. Some are probably meant to be useless to begin with, and damn...it might even be somewhat practical in Solo. (i doubt it, but its possible). The reason about the complaint for semi's is that they WONT change the rolls, and wont make it so you only get good rolls, that would be *****too easy***** for players to attain it. Thats why we want the scrolls back. We had a good way to get them, and now its gone. Hell if they had nerfed the boxes by half for some rewards, i would still be alright, althought slightly mad. but they took out the WHOLE way to get them reliably.

    True, or they could allow the stats to be locked for re-rolling with spellbinds like you can do with gear.

    Yes, it's been asked by players before, as allowing us to lock one of the stats would certainly help reduce the amount of SES we need.
