Gear Progression Revamp Thoughts
I've been reading a lot of content about this. I heard from the livestream that certain adjustments will be made for our region regarding prices and conversion rates from old mats and really praying that it is in our favor or at least fair to say the least.
Obviously, players from other regions are mostly glad about the enchanting with gold, reason being they get gold pretty quick compared to us since enchanting mats sell significantly more than our prices.
Here's a quote from an EU player: tl:dr (bolded important part)
"You people just started with the economy thing. Actually TERA has no economy. All the drama began because people go crazy because they see diamonds, complain they are rare ... but there are proof that they are not rare (stream ect). Then people say KTERA dudes stuck on +8 because diamonds dindt help that much when in fact the content locker is wonderous holy water > a material which only drops in HH Phase 4 and the upcomming RK-9 Hangar Hardmode @ 10th August.
Then there are people saying new system is [filtered] > new system have higher base enchantment + profiency (max 15% on top gear) and +3% failure Bonus > still [filtered].
Then there are people who complain that doing more vanguard dailys is [filtered] (all of my friendlist hates to switch alts for more VG quest)
Then there are people complaining that u cant easy BiS @ first day ... because this is the meaining of Asia MMO ... getting BiS @ max level in the first few days.
There also people who complain about that gearings alts are now pain. Actually its easier because u can just trade low, mid and high tier box via bank to alts for easy enchant ... u dont even need the profiency exp because Low tier is alway 100% and mid start @ 50%. Lol Low to High has lower max XP than +4 - 9 Top gear.
And there are people wo say diamonds have 10k gold value ... what is better keep value or remove them so people who paid shitloads of money are fcked?
Actually there is ONE REGION who might be fcked up. TERA NA because earn gold is pain there since everything is very cheap. MWA 9g, Spellbinds 20g, MES 40g, SES around 150g.
We are the closest version behind KTERA with little difference and people in KTERA already loves this system. "
Well, his prices weren't accurate but gets a good gist of how much mats cost in our region. Right now all we can do is speculate on how it will be released here after 2 weeks.
Should we be worried at all? Think changes made by our devs regarding conversions and enchant costs be in our favor? If they decrease conversion rates for us we're pretty much f'ed, doubt that they will though.

MT had all those prices recently. not positive but think mwa went up again recently.
I doubt we'll have problems with conversion rates: we do have more mats, so even a reduced rate would work out (up to a point, obviously) and we'll get enough tokens.
Gold-wise, though, there might be a problem, so we'll have to see how the new drops do.

If you noticed the Deathwrack mats show a conversion rate of around 500 tokens per piece but the actual token shop shows them as way above 1k tokens per piece.
KTERA players already confirmed that they make around 20k gold per dungeon run, EU will not fall far behind that. Projected cost for top tier +9 is around 7 - 9 million gold if I remember correctly. That's with their economy, our economy is less than half of theirs as well as playerbase so reaching the required gold for us to progress will be a lot harder, even more so if they decrease the conversion rates. Also, I took into consideration that they have significantly more players able to do the most difficult dungeons to get gear materials for gear compared to NA.
More good reads if you're interested, credits to Loriri as well.

We can't change what this patch brings, but we're all in the same boat. Might as well stop worrying in advance and just make the best out of it once it's there
people in tera have to mucho mats in their banks ( but they dont like spend, for this reason they start complaint about they dont have enought for get x 16 characters full top tier +9 gear whitout spend any tokens, and they demand event to get to mucho tokens now )
is like you say, Tera Eu are more closed to Ktera in game server economy, and tradebroker prices, but new system is more easy to get in tera na ( regarless top tier +7-+9 since you realy need be true end game pro player or farms tons of bg victory boxes )
About the new mats? No. They're not tradeable (atleast 99% of them).

Hmm I think he was referring more to the point where gold drops a lot more now. Yes you need it for enchanting, but it will cause everything to go up in price but hopefully reach a balance rather quickly. For example, the costume you wanted that was 50k might end up being 150k after the revamp, BUT the time it took to save up 50k will be the same time it takes to save 150k after revamp.
