It's pretty cool that there's finally something dropping that sells for a lot, but the rate at which they drop makes it so that nobody honestly goes into a dungeon expecting to find a design, and most people don't. I don't know anyone who's actually farming dungeons for their specific design instead of just saving money to buy one on the broker, because everyone understands that the odds of finding a design -- especially your particular design -- are abysmal. Under the current system, the blueprint for a weapon can cost more than the production, rerolling, enchanting and etching of said item. If you're okay with this then you're probably either in a static that's profited from the current system (in which case it makes sense for you to be in favor of the status quo) or you probably stopped at mid tier gear, rarely dungeon past the 417s and have no connection to this topic but feel like commenting anyway.
Starfall's recipe system was god-tier. A single item that dropped often and gave you access to every design for your class. A return to this system would mean a lot of people could finally make the gear that they have plenty of mats for, but a small minority wouldn't be able to split 500k between 5 people when they happened to get lucky and find a weapon design for a popular class. To mitigate the problem of high end dungeons no longer containing jackpot designs, developers could let them drop something else at a low chance that players would spend gold on instead, like tradeable tier IV etchings or "smart etching boxes" that match to one's class or something. Unlike designs, etchings are something people would still spend a lot of gold on but it's not a bottleneck that actively stops you from progressing in the game if you don't have it. This is one example that I've come up with at 2:30 in the morning, I'm sure someone else could come up with a bunch of other stuff. There's more than just designs that people want and would spend gold on. This topic will become especially relevant when newer lower tier dungeons are released that drop these designs in spades (like broken prison did last patch), lowering the worth of high end dungeons significantly. Might as well start thinking about it now. :winky:
If designs and vm mats would drop like on EU server,a lot of gear head elitist exagerated pure speculated overpriced afk no help greedy players would start to feel the burn cause they can't sell them, on CH I so 1M for a t12 wep box.
Yeah, designs should be easier to obtain than crafting mats.
i know your pain, i see you advertising to buy that design for ages... as much as i want to make bow for my archer, i won't pay 500k for that design.
> Will get the new patch and I can not get my bowsprout design.
+1. Damn that bow been missing from everysingle server for the past week.. I even went ahead and made valk weapon cause looking at those mats sitting at bank made me sad
