Enchanting and rerolling Slaughter
I was talking to new players around my server and many were saying they wanted to quit because gearing in slaughter was really difficult. So, I decided to gear up a couple of characters. I started with my priest even with fodder enchanting for 1-9, the top and the weapon took about 150k due to a ton failures. I didn't even finish the gloves. Rerolling the gear was insane, the gear ate practically all the t9 spellbinds I saved up. Is it seriously supposed to be like this for mid tier gear? This is worse than my slayer's starfall.

So far my experience with it was that in average each piece takes about 2000 Feed stock and around 500-600 MWA
Each piece I enchanted had around 20-30 fails before they get to +12.
I never go to VM gear because gear progression in this game is way to fast VM tend to last you around 1 year while mid tier gear around 6 months then the next patch hits and you have to gear up again to catch up. I admit that gearing in this game the longer you go tends to get tiring because you need to constantly play and farm. Last patch before ninja I manage to gear all my 10 characters to dreadnought which in that time was mid tier but when the ninja patch came out and dread became low tier my enthusiasms just burst like a bubble, basically I lost all my energy because yah gearing 10 characters back then was no easy feat.
Right now I just decided to gear characters that I like not gear them all up because the patch in Ktera just came in and yes new gear again meaning not too long from now slaughter will be low tear and then someone like will make a post about this and that again. Cycle continues.
Yeah, the same happened to me last patch. I just gave up and waited to gear my characters in DN but for newer players, I can see why they just straight up quit the game. It takes way too much resources just for a mid tier set. I would understand if it was like this for +12 a VM set and then going +15 but just for a +12 mid tier set is just insane. Along, with having to reroll the gear and grinding for spellbinds or buying them just makes it worse.
Wtf. That's such an insane amount of feedstock and spellbinds.
This is too hard to believe. Heres an advice to all those who want to enchant gear. Never ever enchant when you have low resources. I always enchant when I have 10k Feeds stock and around 4k MWA that ensures me that the RNG will not reset every time. I dont know guys thats how Ive been echanting and Ive never used more than 2k feed stock and 2k MWA to enchant a gear set to +12.
Oh yah enchanting your items from 1+9 dont use feeds stock use the other one saves you a lot.
As for spellbinds. I hate those things they are cancer.
I've seen my brother go to about 3.8k feedstock on his DN axe last patch. He just smashed it and sold it back for whatever he could get and just stick with his schisma afterwards. For the MES, I can agree, I spent about 300 just trying to MW my slaughter sword on my 2nd slayer. For the spellbinds, it just took around 1100 for me just to get my four damage lines.
Got 1104 on axe + 936 on gloves + 990 on chest + 532 on boots. 3512 feedstock.
And i was so delusional that i didnt think it was sooooo much. Never bought feedstock or alka on broker, but got 11 alts. So...
You guys should see my struggle to get imperator mats. Didn't got the designs yet and opened i guess at least 500 imperator boxes already. I need from them 20 okhma and 15 versa. 1k each on broker, and i still have mats to get. I wonder ill need at least 2m to get my imperator axe. 500k spent already.
When attempting to masterwork mid-tier gear, I highly recommend blessed scrolls over ordinary MES. Save your MES for rerolling stats.
When enchanting masterworked gear past +9, I highly recommend using higher quality alkahests as opposed to MWA. I know MWA is cheap, but you will burn through fewer feedstocks by using better alkahests, therefore saving more money overall.
When rerolling stats... do NOT use spellbinds UNLESS you have rolled 2/3 or 3/4 of your perfect ideal stats (and even then... maybe not). If you roll 1/3 of the stats you want, it's probably going to be much cheaper to just buy more MES and keep rerolling randomly than it will be to burn spellbinds on every roll just to save that one single stat.
Just my opinions based on my own personal experiences after enchanting/MWing multiple sets of mid tier gear (and spending hundreds of thousands of gold to do so, unfortunately).
I thought you meant like per piece lol. My weapons and tops generally average around 1.5k-2.5k each and my boots and gloves are generally around 600-1200.
My experience with Slaughter gear, it isn't too hard to get it to +9, but I failed over 20 times in a row just trying to get +10 on my weapon with GE and it is still +9. Did some of the contents I can with Dreadnaught+12s, feel like if i try to queue for anything higher than DFNM, I'd get kicked.
