in TERA PC - General Discussion
i think the item level required for pit of petrax is a bit too high, its 439 ..and thats stormcry..when you can EASILY complete it in guardian..already ..
could you lower it to RG level ? @spacecats @seandynamite
its been done before for IoD bam vgs.

    ilv 439 is frostmetal, also the vanguard rewards for PoP are VERY bad, so unless you just want it for the daily/weekly count, not worth it. Also depends on the class and skill of the player, on guardian or even twistshard the boss hits pretty hard so I guess that is why the ilv 439 requirement.

    I actually was thinking the same thing while leveling my alt a few weeks back. Even with twisty it was alot faster than IoD bams and I mainly do it for the possibility of getting sapphires or emeralds (and the occasional diamond). Lowering the iLvl requirement would be a nice touch since players often start pit before enchanting to frosty.

    just saying that if ur doing the dg and you can clear it with less then 439 ilevel..at least you should get the vg as well.
    439 seems a bit high..imo

    if the vanguard was lowered a lot of players would see more gold as well. I run it 12 times a day on 4 alts and only 2 get the vanguard which basically covers crafting mats when i convert all those rubies into emeralds. So if my other alts could get the 600 a day it would be another way to slowly build gold

    The current item level requirement is fine and quite okey. I personally am agreed with its requirement because I feel that request to the players to do some work in order to unlock its vanguard quest.

    Yet, this is another among many complain and requests to make the game easier. The content is okey and it is not meant to be easy gearing in short of period of time and those that gave gotten endgame gear in some short time, it is because they worked a lot in the game and with their toons.

    Happy New Year.

    Um...

    Pit of Petrax does percentage health damage mostly. I personally don't even want the PoP badge (doing a KC/RG still gives more value), and thus have been doing it after I clear my 16 dailies.

    Not rewarding for such effort and not that easy for most part of players.

    Okay, ignoring the fact that the VG rewards suck anyways and doing any other dungeon VG is better.

    How is this a complaint to make the game easier? Completing Pit of Petrax at a lower iLvl than the current requirement is showing that you're putting work into your characters since you're able to complete a "tougher" dungeon than what you should be able to complete.

    A complaint to make the game easier would be saying Pit is way too hard and should be nerfed because I can't kill it in my level 60 Oculus gear also I'd like it to have a 100% chance to drop 6 diamonds everytime I clear it.

    PoP has by far the best RTI of any VG. You forgot to divide gold+items by time. It's an incredibly fast little dg: 30~40s for a brawler, 70~90s for most others. Even my worst solo class (reaper) takes only 140s on a bad run. That's 4k+ gold per hour from the VG gold reward alone. That's just kill-time. Adding zone-in/out, looting, running up to it, yawning, etc. puts it at roughly 3m per full clear. I typically take about 12m for 4 runs based on the buff timings -- bit less for brawler, bit more for reaper. Want gold? Make alts, run PoP.

    BTW, I do agree on the iLevel unlock being too low. It's just as easy to kill in guardian as in storm because it's mostly a test of how well you know the fight and how well you know the class. The dps requirement to make it phase is trivial. Extra iLevel doesn't improve the kill rate unless your class has no burst or can't (yet) one-shot the final phase, in which case you slowly kill the archers before smacking down Pet. And, by slowly, I mean spending an extra 30s. It wouldn't shift gps by much assuming guardian-geared could earn the VG reward.

    The only way to beat PoP gps is via a static group that can clear 6x DGs in an hour without using any consumables -- if you use something that costs gold, you just tanked your gps.

    Totally agree with the OP, and with the previous post. Stormcry requirement is just plain silly, and the RTI in PoP is amazing. I still do it 4x daily on my alt, but it would be nice to complete vangards along with getting lewtz.

    This one minute dungeon has not good vanguard rewards to make it apealing to waste them on it. But it is rewarding for the time you invest on it if you don't take vanguards into account.

    Again, it's not Stormcry, 439 is just basic Frostmetal. You can still find that too high of course, but please don't inflate it beyond what it is.
