We need to modify some thing about blackstone shard and caphras

Hey, like you can see on the marketplace, we have problem to buy caphras, blackstone, sharp and hard...

1st problem : Blackstone
On this server i can make money like 200-300M per hour with SD or more with spot like akman, new spot ...
But if i want to farm blackstone i make like 300-400 blackstone per hour (800-1000 with old drop scrool)
So i make 200 000 * 400 = 80M per hour
If i do 1h of SD i can buy 1500 blackstone so people dont farm blackstone and want to buy it. But if no one farm blackstone they cant buy it.

2nd problem : sharp and hard
Since the last update and nerf of drop scroll + new gathering system a new player make something like 20 shards per hour.
Ok with the new system we make lot of it if we improve the stuff.
But for improve the stuff we need shards so we are stuck.
The new stuff cant use FS so try to make a TET with no FS ....

3rd problem : caphras
Same problem of sharp and hard

So a new player, or a player who dont lifeskill, will make money with sd or other spot and buy caphras /blackstone and shard at marketplace. But the marketplace is empty so he make more money but he cant use it.
So people have more and more money and marketpalce still empty

So i think we need to improve something

first way : make it easier to upgrade the new lifeskill stuff
second way : upgrade the multiplier on gathering and blackstone

and for information the new lifeskill system was cancelled on EU and they want to remove it in KR

Thank you and sorry for my english

 

I do agree that they should do some retouching work when it comes to the rates of sharps and hards, or perhaps just make is to that you can exchange them 2 hards : 1 sharp.

 

Pease staff do something lot of people back to retail

 

even with 1350 mastery now the rate of sharps feels lacking.

 

you said that after 1000 it's different, turning back on your word now? (p.s no hate, just a joke but srsly this server is having issues regarding the droprate no matter how much mastery you have)

 

well if you notice gathering with low mastery it is complete ass. So the difference does start with 1000+. The money with high mastery is good, definitely higher drops but the sharps are still low like u dont get half as much as sharps as u do hards. average is 20 sharps, rarely goes 25 or 30 in an hour. And the only reason im even taking about this is because sharps feel low compared to everything else and they get po'd for 7-10 mil a piece nowadays cant even buy them. So it will take literally 5-10 hours of gathering to get arounf 200-250 sharps. it affects our ability to enhance weapons, and for players who don't have the resources to enhance the manos tools for themselves to get started.

 

i did say that they should add a system (like they did with PEN for half the price at kolka helper) that can let you turn 2 hards into one sharp. easy. but no, only rich people that pay cash should get what they want aka donors. that's pretty much the atmosphere atm.

 

yeah and i really like that idea. I was actually looking at black crystals, it says to heat it with 2 black stone weapons to make concentrated weapon stone but it isn't heatable so i really do hope they make it available in another form. Sharps are very scarce atm.

 

Kolka said the translation is wrong so no way they are bringing that into the game :') Though i wish they would

 

the marketplace 4 weeks ago

 

The marketplace today

 

plz do something

 

Nothing wrong with drop of hards/sharps and blackstones. I don't feel any difference in blackstone drops.
Solution, for hards and sharps > get more energy and level your gathering.
I just posted 500 concentrated Hards, so be there in time.

 

It's not that the problem .... check the marketplace ....

 

How do you people earn that much ? Even by trying out the "infamous" horse raising I don't get even close to these amounts of money per hour....and I'm usually one who prefers grinding anyway.

 

Well the thing is that most "new" players just want to buy EVERYTHING, not actually do the "work" of grinding, getting a proper luck-stat + Node-investment to get Blackstones and of course actually do Gathering for the Hard/Sharp-Blackstone Shards.

So it is NOT a marketplace problem, it is merely a "I want everything without having to do anything for it" problem.
