there is no emergency. If you've been consistently playing this game (even casually) for the past few months, you would have definitely accumulated enough feedstock/alks to make your vm7 items once you've gotten your design this past weekend.

u r that dude who stream PVT i mean palyer vs trade broker?

It's not even a fight. When he goes to open trade, broker commits seppuku.

I see you like that VMs remain for a few and continue to make money behind us who approaches this game for the first time can not lead to the slaughter +12 and turn the jewelery

Why farm so hard ?
Why u need all this money if u even do not do the end game content?
Personally I farm only for +15 equip for the THE END GAME CONTENT . I dont see the reason to farm if i dont Enjoy the dungeons.

Farming for a +15 and stopping there is why you would think there is a shortage. Keep farming even after you get your BiS gear, prepare for the next patch. Dont expect to get enough materials for +15 in a week.

If you dont put in effort to farm there will forever be a shortage for you.

Why the heck you would need to farm with multiple chars in the first place?

Why can't I play 1 char and get my desired farming needs from endgame?

Instead we need to make tons of chars and farm some low end crap to fulfill our time and farming needs...

I know I am repeating myself, but the raw materials are insufficient for a player that can play a few hours due to work commitments, school or life.
If this is the situation now is a p2w game or for those without a job or social life.
And then from qundo we were not given the talent serves a VM to make andgame and do not tell me that technically you can do that are bales since you write that you have a VM, and DSUP SSHM unless you have a VM you can forget the.
Then it would be nice that you rinconpensassero with goldfinger in order to ongni dungeon I would not raid a dungeon making strate those few hours to kill bam in just suck it

I'm getting tired of seeing posts saying that there's not enough of Feedstock or MWA etc. I'm really curious how much dedication and effort people put in to earn them.

Raw materials are more than sufficient. You really don't know how bad it is in KTERA. They have it much worse, and it took me almost 2 weeks to gear +12 slaughter, and that's only because I got lucky with same gear enchantments. It'd only take like 2 days in NA to farm and gear from scratch.

If you think you have room for complaints, listen to my story.

For the past 3 months I worked as tutor mon~thurs at 7am ~12pm or so depending on how well the kid finished his assignment
I work friday as a math and science teacher at an afterschool program 7am ~ 12pm
I'm a robotics teacher on Saturdays 9am ~ 3pm
I also have church to attend to on sundays as my family is religious and I'm pretty much forced to go from 7am ~ 4pm. I'm lucky that they let me only attend on sunday mornings and afternoons instead of almost every night with entire sunday .

After work and church, I have to prepare study materials for kids I tutor and teach, plan out next activity for robotics class, design a scientific experiment, and search KTERA forum for any good info I can translate such as patch notes, GM note, or Developer's note. While I seem like I play literally all day when you see me in game, I'm always working on something else on my second monitor when I afk.

It depends on the day but earliest time I can get online is around 2pm and I'm off anywhere between 12am - 4am, sometimes I don't even sleep, and for the entire time I'm online, I'm probably afk nearly half the time to do what I should be doing IRL which is listed above.

Even with all that, I've achieved to have my main geared with +15 imperator weapon, +12 imperator chest and glove, +12 conflate boots, with 4 alts geared in full slaughter. Every day during those 3 months I farmed Vanguard with at least 3~5 characters per day: Lancer, Priest, Ninja, Berserker, and Brawler, whether it's IoD, IMS, guild runs, friend calling, etc. This isn't all. I have 12 characters in total, one of each class and I play all of them. I just play the 5 classes mentioned earlier more often as I've learned how to play them better and have gotten used to them. The other 7 -- Mystic, Warrior, Slayer, Sorcerer, Archer, Gunner, and Reaper -- are geared in at least +12 Dreadnaught, and some of them have one or two +12 Slaughter piece. All of my characters have complete glyph page as well, along with proper jewelries and crystals. With 12 characters, I'm basically able to gain 3~12x amount of rewards I can receive, especially something as easy as Celestial Arena, Castle Aranea daily, some IoD BAM, Solo dungeon for perma T2 etchings, weekly vanguard rewards, etc. I can benefit myself through several methods of farming.

After all these hard work farming feedstock, spellbinds, MES, MW/ Prem/ Ext alks and making gold by selling stuff, especially T2 etchings, I was able to buy Imperator Weapon design. My guildies were kind enough to fund me Imperator Chest and glove designs as well as a good friend of mine gave me Conflate boots design. I asked them for help in running dungeons to farm Imperator mats, and I farmed more gold to buy Contargentine/Flataurum Nodes, checking broker almost everyday for their prices. Colluva ore/ingots were either farmed, borrowed (then paid back later), or bought from broker when I checked for them. It took me 3 months, which is pretty long, but I did it in the end.

It's all about how much you are dedicated to invest your time into seriously play the game, and how you are using it. I can tell you I'm terrible player, pretty much casual myself tbh. I push myself to learn how to play the classes more efficiently, checking my performance, recording some of my runs to watch later and see where I can actually improve. I don't simply farm mindlessly-- I'm always testing myself if I can breakthrough whatever limits I may have.

While it may seem a lot of work and boring, to me it was helluva ride as I've learned more about other classes, their roles, some of their problems, etc. If you truly want to enjoy the game, you have to see it from multiple point of views. It's fine that you prefer to play a single character or don't want to farm like I did, but the essence of an RPG is to explore new things.

Some may wonder, why am I putting my life into this to this extent, it's because I love the game so much. Despite all the disappointments I see whether it's BHS's poor decisions or cancerous player base, this is the game I want to dedicate myself into because I've never enjoyed playing a game as much as TERA.

I have 2 chars with full vm7 +15.

I prefer to play with my main(s) at endgame and farm, not great tons of alts, level them up, gear them up and then farm so boring [filtered] content to get medicore amount of FS. End of the day, I will spend more time on alts I wouldn't really consider playing then my actual chars I'd like to play...

Cause 15 T10 FS from SSHM is so balanced.

You still don't know how to sort...

Deleted User · August 2016

So 1 stack of 24( 14 gold each) is enough for you?

There are several stacks, the problem is that you cannot use the broker to sort them out by cheapest first.

Deleted User · August 2016

The only problem is that u need a lot of feedstocks.

RubioEU · August 2016

I begin to think you enjoy staying in 4 cats to play tera and follow the fate like that of tera eu desert.
I do not think that if the broker prices are so there is plenty of feedstock otherwise no one would buy them.
I like the advice that is composed of people who do not understand the real situation of discomfort of the new users.

@Robertina
If you had sorted by Per Unit, there would have been more than a stack of 24 @14g each...

Squishies · August 2016

Would be nice if those silly little Tier X Feedstock (5~9) droplets was more like Tier X Feedstock (24~48) piles instead.

Same deal with the Factory Cabinets and Imperator Treasure Chests... what's with the single digit feedstock rewards from those? Come on!

Feedstock shortage! Any solutions Enmasse?
