What comes next........

[Energizeric]

I've been thinking all week of how to expand on a previous post I made about new mythic helms and armors, and I have come up with the details.....

While the Goblin & Ursoth events have been great, a new problems exists which is what will we all do with ourselves once the event is over. Farming elite Tindirin dungeons is no longer very interesting, especially the ones that give the magma helms and armors. Due to the release of the new mythic weapons, even the magma weapons are no longer very interesting, except perhaps for the warrior's magma claymore.

This idea will return interest to farming both elite and non-elite Tindirin dungeons until the next expansion....

1) New level 41 mythic helms and armors will be released.

2) Unlike other mythics, these will NOT drop from locked grand crates of the watch.

3) These mythic helms and armors can be purchased from the dragkin teeth vendor for 300 dragkin teeth each.

4) Two new locked crates will be introduced to the game: Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate & Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate

5) Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate will drop very rarely from all elite Tindirin bosses. This crate will be a mythic rarity item, and as such can be re-rolled from a legendary item. Looting one will give you the mythic achievement.

6) Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate will cost 500 plat to open, and will always give one of the new mythic helms or armors. Which one you get is random.

7) Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will drop very rarely only from elite Rendtail. This crate will be an arcane rarity item, and as such can be re-rolled from a mythic item. Looting one will give you the arcane achievement.

8) Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will cost 1500 plat to open, and will always give one of the following arcane items: Singe Egg, Samael Egg, Maul of Ollerus, Ker'shal Scepter, Arcane Shard.

9) Both Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate & Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will be tradable.

10) Both Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate & Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will be discontinued when season 6 ends, at which time the level 41 mythic helms and armors will only be obtainable from the dragkin teeth vendor (or by purchasing them from another player or from the auction).

11) A new item called a Dragkin Teeth Bundle will be found very rarely in Locked Grand Crates of the Watch. These will be tradable, and will contain 5 Dragkin teeth each when opened.


This update would have something for everybody... elite farmers, non-elite farmers, and crate openers will all have a way to obtain the new mythic helms and armors. However, it will take time and will keep us busy for a while, all while giving us the chance to loot mythic and arcane items directly from an elite boss -- something many of us have wanted for a long time.

Given the high cost in plat of opening the new mythic & arcane crates, and the luck elixirs that would be used while farming for them, STS should see a nice increase in plat revenue.

First glance: too complicated

I'll read this later...

Yep. One of those TLDR worthy posts.

300 teeth? Sounds like they'd be giving mythics away...

[SacredKnight]

Hmmmm 300 teeth vs 500 plat, seems like an incredibly easy decision. In my perspective the 500 plat and 1500 plat cost is a bit steep.... considering the fact that is is probable that one could loot an Arcane item within 1500 plat, also the fact that it is probable but unlikely that one loots something of great value in the first few crates... All in all....you should consider reducing the plat cost and increasing the teeth cost.

This would also cause of flux of mythic armor and other elite tindirin gear, would it not? Seeing as people are farming teeth and crates various items would drop and their value would plummet considerably.. also one would probably rather wait for another to sell the new mythics and buy them for gold which is either earned via crates or some other form.

All in all I think this is an interesting idea to keep us at bay,
I like it

Do you know how long it takes to farm 300 teeth? In the non-elite tindirin dungeons, you get about 1 every 10 runs or so, and in elite maybe 1 every 3 runs. So you are talking a ton of runs, and it will take months (which is kind of the whole point of this). So they will have a nice value, and if you work hard for it you can then choose to sell it for a ton of cash. But there are not going to be any of these floating around the first week. It will take time.

As for the cost of 500 and 1500 plat, remember that the mythic or arcane item is guaranteed. It's not a "chance" to loot these like regular locked crates. 100% chance.

Also, it is NOT probable that one will loot an arcane item with 1500 plat. I would say it is not even probable with 5000 plat. It's not even probable to loot a mythic item with 1500 plat. 1500 plat is 100 locked crates. Yes you can get lucky, but on average you have to open probably 10 times more than that to loot an arcane item. I've personally opened over 300 locked crates and never looted a mythic or arcane item, and I've spoken to many players who have similar experiences. The odds are probably much worse than you think. We only tend to hear the stories of great luck. But the players who have made fortunes from locked crates have opened a ton of them in most cases.

I understand what you mean however the 500 plat option isn't viable for free to play players and even though 300 teeth is quite a lot it is the only path some people can take. Also, there should be a "freemium" option too for the Arcane Crates, realistically that would probably be quite a large quantity of teeth but that is still keeping tat "F2P" perspective..

I understand that. I didn't expect any locked crates to be opened by non-plat players. I would imagine a non-plat player would sell the crate instead of opening it. I'd imagine if you looted the arcane locked crate you could sell it for 10-20m at least. At that price I'm pretty sure even the non-plat players would be farming them like crazy.

Won't happen about upgrade to 41, never. Worse if STS implement this again.

yess pliis, and since nothing else left to spend gold, people can pay 100m+ for a ring or a pet.

LMAO Hali, you've had your mythics as long as I've had mine.

Idea of those locked crates is awesome. They should implement it. Guess, the price of that arcane locked will be 1m+? Lol
