AF+1 Costs WAY Too Much

[Buddhsie]

While it's true that they need to add a larger variety of dungeons.. People are still missing the point of the tomestones. They aren't meant to be a primary source of gear, they are supposed to be something extra you get per week as you do other, more challenging content. Over time you get enough points to nab something here and there, but it really is just to give you a guaranteed something or other as you tackle the real endgame (coil and crystal tower).
Keep complaining and I guarantee you'll get a post from Yoshi-P saying just this.

People treating AF+1 as though it were the only gear available to you. Like Allag doesn't exist or something. Nor the possibility that new content will be released soon to either supplement the grind or to possibly replace it. Keep stressing about it, some of us relish in your anguish and mental ineptitude.

This is MMO... so getting things should not be easy..

Yes, but grinding myth stones isn't difficult. Not by a long shot. It's just incredibly time consuming and the only reason it takes so long to make a full set of gear is because of the low weekly cap. I would rather earn AF2 through difficult dungeon fights instead of picking it up piecemeal through an arbitrary gating mechanic that tests my patience more than my reflexes.

I don't think its a matter of being easy... More that 5 months is way too long. 2/3 months is more acceptable. In my opinion, their should be a 500 cap per week or 300 for one class and 200 for another, that would encourage more people to try out other classes. Example, I do Coil on Paladin, get my 300, switch to WAR, get 200 and repeat next week.

Get Darklight and farm the first two-three turns in Binding Coil

Thank for pointing that out to me, I was thinking that game was to easy with nothing to really work for..

Looks like I got something to look forward to once I hit 50.

Coil is currently 6 drops per week.

300 Mythology per week.

If I was able to get more than 6 drops per week (for 8 people, and not even guaranteed to be the same 8) then your argument would hold water. Right now, less than 1 drop/person/week vs. 300 tomestones means that tomestones are the better option 25% of the time without considering that the drops are RNG and that you may never even see one for your class.


So if that changes, great post. Until then, lol.

That you wasted your time for something that you probably got very little use out of by the time you got it. Congrats, you win.
