What about another way to make running dungeons useful besides for just obtaining base gear?

Put cash shop items or emp in it. Doesn't matter if it's rare as hell. There are enough store items to make the grind for a specific item endless.

lol why is HFIL censored?

Bring back Ravenous Gorge. It was a quick dungeon and you ran it for for plumes, but the feedstock, mes and bravery potions that dropped in made it a really good dungeon to farm feedstock

@Nopi use the fodder enchant system. I think you missed the memo on that. Run the dungeon and get "alike" gear pieces. use that gear piece with the same name and you can successfully enchant. its a 100% guaranteed success if its below +9. So you just spam the same dungeons and pick up the fodder gear types. Its why you see +15 imperator ninjas running channelwork/DFNM sometimes. its so they can get the boxes and gear farming alt ninjas quickly.

Oh. I DID use the same gear enchant(I just refused to waste the pocket change I got on broker feeds

). Now, here's something about it not many have noticed. Same gear enchant has two requirements. One is that the item is same name. The other is that the item must also be bind on pickup, which disqualifies any bind on equip item. Almost everything on the level up game that's worth enchanting is bind on equip, save stuff from the higher 50s dungeons and of course current non crafted DN and Slaughter.

^Like he mentioned, y'all should also save up your charms as the NPC sell price will be the same as the original purchase price per unit coming down the road.

@TriEdgeDTrace
Of course, there's other ways to obtain feedstock, but most of them are worth the time and effort for how little you get. Even the most difficult dungeons aren't rewarding from what most players state.

Like I said, if anyone is enchanting there's a chance that they'll need less enchanting materials than expected if they get lucky with the RNG. Most of the dungeons this patch is mostly about gear mats, barely any feedstock.

I'm currently saving up for next patch if I can, there's people who don't want to spend more than 4 hours trying to grind for enchanent mats and gold.

Thank you for the feedback, but I gotta say that the statement you made about the dungeons is not even accurate. It's mostly for gear mats like I said and not everyone need them, I double check rewards for dungeons before I even mentioned this whole discussion.

@Saxblade SSHM gives 50 T10 FS for each turn in. DSU drops 5 stacks of 60 T10 FS, one for each player, and 200 MWA. Doing this has given me a good stack of FS before the event happened and then I have more than ever.

Doing a single SSHM also gives me 240 Vanguard credits (120 if not elite, and not including the free gold you get from it and T10 FS) That is enough for a Masterwork Box. Which you can then sell on the TB, open for your own use, and then sell the alk instead. You can also do one more dungeon and buy a Niveot, which you can sell for 1500 or more. If you aren't able to do SSHM, you can do DSL, SSNM, or DFNM and get almost the same. Doing just SSNM twice, which is like 15 min each in a decent group, will net you the same rewards as SSHM. This is also ignoring any of the mats for VM you get, that can sell for good amounts too. You are ignoring all the ways you can make gold to get what you want, because all you are focusing on is feedstock.

Players in this game are richer than they have ever been, and just because you aren't aware of this nor want to put the time into it doesn't mean it isn't true. If you don't wan't to or can't spend the time, then buy the mats you need with gold or EMP. Asking for constant hand outs doesn't help the game in the long run.

I'm probably too worried about awakening. I guess I only took the weapons into consideration, so I'll probably need much less grinding than I thought.

I can't really complain about MWA though ad that's always been easy to obtain compared to feedstock. Just worried about my feedstock grind literally getting halved since I'm going for t11.

For dreadspire and SSHM, don't people usually ask for +15?

Anyway, I won't know how the grind in this game actually is until I get VM gears and get a chance to run the hardest dungeons. I just need a decent enough system to keep myself at 30fps though.

TriEdgeDTrace · September 2016

It's certainly a good worry. Don't get me wrong, awakening is hell, but it isn't like you need to swipe your card or spend millions of years playing to get it. Just takes some know how, and a crap ton of luck.

Honestly, only players who are compensating for lack of skill require +15 for any run in the current game. Sure it'll make the run faster, if the player that has the +15 is even good at their class. +15 doesn't get you anywhere if you're a floor mat. Gear don't make you good.

Id say get some VM, and see how you feel then. Just remember there are tons of ways you can spend the materials and credits you get in every run now, unlike the hell from back when.

For optimizing the game, go to Teratoday and read the optimization guide, if you haven't already.

Saxblade · September 2016

I used the tweaks, but my system just isn't good enough to run Tera in dungeons with FPS tanking, I barely get 30 outside of combat.

Trust me, I would go into every dungeon with mid-tier gears if I could, but people are so obsessed with +15 these days anyway. IMS is no good for these dungeons and LFG is basically the +15 club a vast majority of the time, but I'll try to make something work out soon.

I'm also making niveots to make some side money for now, with some niveots structures in the broker since they're super cheap compared to the price of niveots.
