We should probably talk about slot costs, stats and the GSers burden

[Xenor]

Anyone doing electrum rings 40+ is wasting their time. I was 39 when needles were nerfed and I never touched electrum rings until about 45. I was lucky to have a CRP supplying me coral, mixed with silver rings and tier 1 gem rings. Then I made all my chakrams. I avoided electrum like the plague otherwise I could have beaten Scarface and Nummy to 50. It just wasn't worth the gil sink. I did them when I got desperate until I discovered a better synth half way into 47. I hid away in the back of the THM guild synthing franciscas so that the next generation of crafters wouldn't notice what I was skilling on. You doing franciscas yet Peregrine?

Gil will mean something in the future, but 100mil will probably keep you going for the lifetime of this game considering you'll be making more at a nice pace. I don't mind making small amounts off quick synth jewellery as it all adds up. Especially when people are silly enough to pay high prices for worthless HQs. But even that market has been exhausted now. That said, I've no intention to go anywhere near a billion.

Anyway what was this thread about again? Slot cost? I made a thread about this and HQ issue in the synthing forum when the forums were new but everyone over-looked it. I believe slot cost should be removed and instead have a cap on the number of accessories. 5 is a good number. But then I'll just equip four rings and a choker. Problem with earrings and bracelets is almost all of these items have unappealing stats. When they add some that people want, people will use them. HQs need to add to the right stats. A +3 garnet ring should give me 10 STR.

What I want to see is jewellery that can't be spammed. None of this digging up a few gold ore and gems and spamming synths. I want gems to be rare. It keeps the market from getting flooded. Hopefully they'll get it right with tier 3 rings.

Agreed. For sure.
