  • You will lose rolls and etching everytime you upgrade your gear.

    I wonder... If I activate second spec on any part of my gear, it writes that this will be lost after upgrade. So this means:

    I have to pay 12000 gold every time I upgrade my gear?

    Do it in top tier items

    Very smart...
    If someone needs it before for any sake? Isn't this a bit unfair?
  • It's annoying but getting gold isn't that hard, will require you to do boring stuff tho
  • so when upgrading from ambush or dethwrak to frostmetal or stormcry you need to have 4 new etchings ready ? but when ur enchanting from +7 to +9 or from +2 to +9 u keep etchings , correct?

    Correct.
    On upgrading between tiers, you lose EVERYTHING that's bound to that specific piece of gear (Etching, Dual rolls, dyads etc) because the game treats it as "New" gear that you've obtained like you have just picked it up from a dungeon (Even though it's kinda the same piece of gear, you just enchanted it further for it to turn into something else)
    You don't lose anything during normal enchanting because you still have that gear (It's still under the same name as "Stormcry X" or "Frostmetal X"

    even dyads ?!?!?!?! WHATTTT !
    that seems insane to me. that part of it :S
    that seems unfair to me, since you are "forced" to convert to the new gear because it's a lot easier.
    does it take "a long time" to go from frostmetal to stormcry ? because if it does then its not worth using dyads for frostmetal.

    Yes, everything.

    Just be smarter about it. Don't equip dyads and etchings on lower tier gear. I know I'll be getting my frostmetal swords for my warrior really soon, so I'm not putting etchings on it. However, if I notice that stormcry is too hard to get for me (#collegestudentlife) then I'll stick with +9 frostmetal and THEN equip stuff to it.

    Basically just don't equip expensive stuff to low tier gear.

    ur right. i have no idea where high lvl etchings drop now, HH? i hope from other places too.
    dyads and etchings make a huge difference though :(

    perma etching II and III are too easy to obtain, dyads niveots are easy to obtain ( since are other way to get them )

    that seems unfair to me, since you are "forced" to convert to the new gear because it's a lot easier.
    try do that

    does it take "a long time" to go from frostmetal to stormcry ?
    only 300k , or a lot of time, or a lot grind, or a lot farm, your chooise
