Availability of HMPs, Riftcinders, Riftdross

[Zeargi]

Just what I needed, another relic-category weapon to further invalidate the ones I've already attained.

There might be some hope for some of those. maybe... kind of... possibly...

Glad to see everyone so enthusiastic about Aeonic weapons! I'd like to share some more exciting news.

To coincide with the implementation of Aeonic weapons, we will also be doing something for Relic, Mythic, Empyrean and Ergon weapons. We’ve kept you all waiting for a bit, but we will once again be making these weapons that hold a special place in your heart have an active role in battles. We’ll be announcing more details via topics and the forum soon.

Most of the players concern is that this that they are introducing another end-game weapon, Aeonic Weapons, and they can't even fix the issue with Relics and Mythics weapon skills, and Empys item availability and weapon skills. Imo, its a bad look.

I can see the major concern with the Emp. As the UNGODLY amounts of HMPs, and all others things following it can be a huge deterrent, but the other two might be a touch easier to update. Still, we can't say for certain if they won't finally get the stick out of their *** and do something for those that want the other Empyreans outside of the OChain and Harp. I'm trying to stay hopeful, at least a little.

I hear you. I wish they can just grasp this issue by the horns and finally make something happen.

The dev. team has looked into increasing the number of methods to obtain these upgrade items, however, the stats on the completed weapons are very strong and they decided to put this on hold for the moment. With that said, we are aware that these items can be difficult to obtain so we’re looking into possibly offering them via login campaigns.

Edit Note: Mistakenly included VNMs (Voidwalker Notorious Monsters) as a means of obtaining these upgrade materials.

The dev. team has looked into increasing the number of methods to obtain these upgrade items, however, because there are two methods to obtain them (from VNMs or Void Watch), and the stats on the completed weapons are very strong, they decided to put this on hold for the moment. With that said, we are aware that these items can be difficult to obtain so we’re looking into possibly offering them via login campaigns.

But unless the playerbase and myself are mistaken, Heavy Metal Plates/Pouches, Riftcinder and Riftdross do not drop from Voidwalker NMs, only from Voidwatch. The system might have been nice when people used to fight as an alliance but right now most people are soloing or low-maning and there is indeed a huge lack of these items on the market. For example I spammed Voidwatches during the campaign last month, I used 786 voidstones (all I had) and got 363 Heavy Metal Plates. Even if the players agree to buy their upgrade items, there are not enough items on the market at the moment unless everyone is willing to wait several months. And that is what we end up doing anyway.

TIL VNMs can drop these upgrade items.

[Alhanelem]

TIL? whats that?

and the stats on the completed weapons are very strong

The completed relics and mythics are strong as well but they are comparatively easy to obtain. You can go to dynamis and salvage and get a quantity of alexandrite or dynamis currency every time you go, while you can spend the same amount of time doing voidwatch NMs and get nothing.
