Bloody Mark Logs no longer drop from hunts. Please add a way to exchange two bloody logs for one unstained one, the same way we could exchange myth tomes for soldiery. Some of us have these from prior to 2.5.
Please add a way to exchange bloody logs for unstained ones.

Would be too overpowered.
I would have like 3 twines lol -

No.
Make them exchangable for seals though. -
02-03-2015, 06:45 AMNekodar
In short... no.
If you have bloody logs left, use them on sands/oils or throw them away. -
02-03-2015, 06:49 AMAshkendorThis. I'd be happy to even get half of the original seal cost for them.Quote:

Yeah just give us a way to get some deals for them and call it a day. I have one... It is kind of rotting in my inventory for lack of relevance.

Bloody logs are 250 seals, unstained are 500. How is 2 bloody for one unstained OP? That said, even if SE wanted to be punitive give us a way to exchange these to seals or something else relevant.

I agree with this. Something needs to be done about the Bloody logs. I have one (just a measly one) left over from the last time there was a hunt craze and I ran out of gear to upgrade with it. Everything soldiery I own at the moment is fully upgraded. >_>
Now I have this one lone book and nothing to do with it. Kha'tan and I have the same issue where it's just rotting in our inventory with nothing at all to do.
Please, SE, make it so that I can at least exchange it for seals. -
02-03-2015, 08:30 AMEdgeFaythThe reason why allied seals were capped to 4000. To avoid people buying 10 twines the day they release them.Quote:

No. And this is coming from someone who saved up 26 blood-spattered mark logs from before the update.

The level of jealousy in this thread is really impressive, OP is just asking for something very obvious :p
What are you trying to prove there? o.o /confused.Quote:

I personally got a couple of, like 6 xD getting some sort of deal to not let them totally wasted would be nice.
Great idea OP, I'm sad that you get flamed so much by envious/jealous people in the thread... They obviously fear to see the person next to them gearing more "quickly" than them, pathetic to say the least when you know that most contents can be facerolled with crappy stuffs xD -
02-03-2015, 09:15 AMOphie-MioI personally don't even see how this would help gear more quickly since 1.) The people that hunt constantly will hunt constantly and get a crap ton of gear regardless and 2.) We just want the option that SE does in a way. We want to turn in this outdated item for something that's actually worth something. If soldier gear still was good or could be upgraded further (not possible if everything is upgraded) then these old books are pointless.Quote:

02-03-2015, 09:27 AMAnnelieseProve that it's not good design to make it so players can instantly get 3 carbontwines after the patch? If it were that way you'd see complain topics on the forum about players who saved up logs getting carbontwines. It's pretty obvious based on the allied seal cap, the increased seals from hunts, and the use of a completely new log that SE did not want players to instantly get 3+ carbontwines on day 1. If SE was okay with players doing that, why even introduce a new log in the first place?Quote:

02-03-2015, 09:46 AMOphie-MioWith the nature of hunts PLUS the type of people that spam them, people pretty much had 3 carbontwines after the patch. I guarantee that people had half of their gear upgraded the very first day that the patch went live. So this argument is kinda not valid.Quote:

SE should have made the logs tradeable for either gear set and just called it a day. 3 for soldiery and 6 for poetics.
Just saying. I do hunts (not as hardcore as some, but I do) and nothing about it is "good design." People who spam hunts get fully upgraded gear within a day or two. It's nothing to them.
We're just asking for something to do with this outdated item. -
02-03-2015, 09:58 AMAlipoprocks
Or SE could have just had one type of log but just increased the number required for them. They already increased the number required for the new logs. So why introduce more types of currency. /annoyed

02-03-2015, 10:11 AMAnnelieseNope you still don't get it.Quote:

02-03-2015, 07:40 PMAtomniumSadly, your words speak the truth :/Quote:

But what I don't understand is, if you are going to resurrect a content that was "working" with ilv110 gears, why not scale it for people with il120-130 gears?
The hunt is clearly broken and most Marks just explode 30 seconds to 1 minute after their pops on decently populated servers, leading to daily waves of insults everywhere :x I really don't think it give a good and positive picture of the game to new players who were just exping/questing in the same areas. -
02-03-2015, 07:45 PMZumi
I would say no because bloody logs can still be bought with seals and used to buy sands and oils.
-
02-03-2015, 07:55 PMThemisThere's a good reason why this isn't a thing. I've heard of some people who have dozens of logs. Maybe in the future when i130 gear is no longer the relevant thing it would be possible.Quote:

At least give us a way to let us convert them back to some low amount of elite marks. Like 100 per would be reasonable. I have a bunch from before the change that are useless. Even Poe and Myth had conversion rates when they went out.
