Gear upgrade concern

There is no exp gain on a stormcry+9 gear piece.
Keep your gear +8 and grind exp is better than +9 now because you will have a huge advantage on gear exp when the higher tier of gear comes.

This is discouraging people to +9.
And for those who already +9 their gear like me, there is no way to go back. We have no way to grind gear exp now while other people are grinding gear exp on their +8 gears. This is a huge disadvantage for people who spent money in this game.

Make stormcry+9 able to obtain gear exp, or do w/e you can to fix this please, thank you.

    KTERA players have voiced this with various opinions such as having +9 restart gear xp altogether, let those with +9 gain xp faster, etc but nothing was done.

    It's a bummer really; but in the end it's RNG no matter what anyways. You get higher chance to success with xp (+15% xp bonus max) but that still wont guarantee that you will succeed with less effort than others as most of the time it's just plain luck anyways.

    It is pretty depending on luck if we are talking about one piece of gear, but 15% is 5 attempts, it becomes a huge burden when you upgrade 4 pieces or more gears.

    Yea I totally understand that. I'm one of those "stuck with +9 with no xp" as well. While I'd just be passive and just enchant as I play and not worry too much about it as a casual player, this is extremely concerning as a player perspective.

    Thing is that BHS aren't budging even with KTERA players voicing their complaints, feed backs, and opinions. I really do wish EME can get a solution for us, and only thing I can really think of suggesting for a fix would be double/triple gear xp; but that really isn't much to compensate all.

    It makes no difference at all. You still have to pay the gold and the big amount of materials to upgrade. Everyone has them same chance to succeed and the same chance to fail. There's no avoiding that. And item xp when your gear is +8 or 9 stormcry is definitely not a problem to acquire..
    Next thing you'll be complaining about is that someone has better luck than you. Too many crybabies

    What will happen when bhs allow you +9 the gear above stormcry and reduce the cost and exp to enchant stormcry?

    And people that didnt enchat to +9 stacked exp will get +9 for a fraction of the cost you did, because the % to enchant will be higher and will cost emeralds instead of diamonds?
  • or BHS just let us gamble with 5% base chance and superior Tier will only get 7% extra chance if you max xp. Also yo need 70k for +1 and the cost ist 7 Diamonds for +1. Ofc the chance will dropt to 1% at +9 and you need to spent 20 Diamonds per try.

    Its BHS after all. they love to spam us with RNG

    Where does it say that they will reduce costs to enchant stormcry? Look at how much it costs to try to upgrade to the new gear tier after stormcry

    So I don't think enchanting stormcry will cost any less once new gear is out.

    Is this real? 90k gold and 5% base chance?

    Plus RNG drops from 5 star dungeon or HH or once a week CU chest.

    Actually, jewels and gold is not even a problem here, if you can't run HH regulary then you will rely to RNG drops from 5 star dungeons or you will never get it at all.

    Almost like it was meant to be grinded for, not done in 1 day.
  • Also before they added the new set upgrade option, they greatly decreased the amount/chance of artisan kits, copper clasp, pansophic ash and elemental essence from the dungeons that drop it so even if you dont +9 right now, it is better to stock up on those mats with months before that patch hit.

    I am consistent on what I have said or at least show were I am contradicting myself.

    The topic you say is for a month ago I never said to take away essences from HH.
