Farming

[Vrazicak]

I was just wondering if there was any fun way of farming in AL?
I'd like to see questlines like for Magical Mug, but for actual gear that I'd use or some reward like gold.
Despite the fact this is the best MMO RPG in my opinion, this game misses originality, in PvE it all comes to one point, grind, grind and grind, without even getting a chance to enjoy you hardwork, meaning you don't manage to get the slightest profit out of your farming, every type of farming MUST have planar tombs/lock opening system, more you tombs you run/locks you open, more fragments/tokens you get, each cap needs it's vendor, not a luck based teeth farming vendor like Tindirin expansion had, we need a 100% sure drop after each run we did, now I'm not requesting it to be easy, all I want is to get to know that my farming and my effort leads to something, that it won't be just one more disappointing run with disappointing loot. Almost everything in AL is luck based and that is what I strongly dislike, because you can literally spend 10 hours farming for example Arcane chest, and end up with nothing but a lot of frustrations and disappointments, while there's literally a guy who was like "hm, my luck elixir is about to end, lets do 1 run in dead city map" and he literally looted a chest.
I know you're trying your best StS, but you really put too much effort in somethig as useless as housing, a lots of friends that I join have empty taverns with 3 PvP locations bought, they don't really want to spend millions on something they will spend their "AFK hours" in. Instead of putting a large effort in housing, put an effort in something useful which will help thousands of farming Arlorians all across the levels!

Actually, arcane chest idea is good for farming in all levels. But the single drop being a final result is just bad. There should be crafting materials for it dropping. Or at least tokens for some of the vendors which already exist in the game.

Hey!!!! I love my house, its a nice bit of change in the game, BUT yeah it would be awesome to get more farming quests for items in PvE and PvP. And dont get mad, more furniture crafting items to farm as well

The planar pendant quest and magical mug quests are great examples of good ole' fun and hard work paying off.

[leslietheone]

i thought the same, they said that they couldn't make any more banner for country because their servers can only have a certain amount of items/vanities/etc but now they come with the housing and introduce us to +100 stuff for housing. But your servers cannot manage to make another +/- 30 banners.

Nobody is mad when interactive and desirable items are available via drops or crafting and not plat-only.

We have great farmables... but they are under-utilized. Planarite ingot, Dragonite bar, Refined Cryogem ingot... all good farming... but not used outside the expansion they were released in. Fangs are still profitable without using luck because of APs attached to glintstone set... but the set is not useful for endgame at this point so once completed it will feel like a disappointment rather than an accomplishment.

Combining farmables to craft very strong/arcane-grade gear... best idea ever! Maybe a series of arcane armors/helms requiring increasing number of farmables at higher levels...
Lv16 - 1x planarite, 1x bar, 1x vials
Lv56 - 9x planarite, 9x dragonite, 9x vials.
Elixers to "imbue" armors/helms/rings/amulets crafted using 10x vials and 10x beast essences
Creative uses for farmables will be better received than yet another way to spend plat...

yep will be very good if we combine materials for all levels! buffing the farm of fangs/dragon bars/planar tombs/vials will help ppl have something to do! gears for all levels with those materials will help farmers stay in line again and make cash! atm most of farmers are broke and cant afford most of eggs/items at game!

[Azerothraven]

Wow you really like typing don't ya

[gunlet]

Need some craft able vanity of legendary class in which one of integrant is on tradable.. Farm integrants sell for money and only one who worked for it can have last item...its same like trophy .. It would be cool if a vanity

Is PvE worth running to aynone below level 46? That's probably the bottom line of successful random km3 runs, besides that, what ''sure profit'' do we have? You spend half an hour daily to do Planar tombs daily quest, for 10 planar essences, meaning you gotta do 3 daily quests for 2 crafted fragments which will bring you 8k, and 18 fragments, so basically you need to spend approximately 20 days farming half an hour each day to earn a profit of 300k? That means 10 hours of farming, while in km3, you can farm 6 lockeds per elixir(approximately), elixir costs 9k, and 6 lockeds-36k, meaning 25k/elixir or 50k per hour multiply 10 with 50k= yup you have 500k and you didnt even have to bother feeding pets nor using pots, and you get pve kills. In special event days those 6 lockeds can reach up to 9k each which results in even more insane profit. How does anything else pay off good? Arcane chest? Arcane fossil from arena? Nawww you gotta spend hours and hours of boring grind especially in dead city maps, and end up getting nothing because some guy decided to do 1 run in lost mage's mine and just stole Arcane chest that you were suppose to get, and that is really really unfair, because some people really give an effort and a lot of their time for what? For literally getting their hardwork stolen by someone else.

Wait what? There's a quest line for magical mug?

+100000 farming is dead . Now we have some kind of mine slavery , nothing else. My friend spend a whole week in arena stacking up chests and opened today. Guess what? Total profit was 64k... From one week. And then comes a random guy who loots fossil in his 1st chest. We need more items like fangs/jewes/vials (when they used to be expensive... ) something besides locks that we can see pay off .

il post the video later haveig hard time to edit all the cursing words out x.x
btw gouiwaa i have switchd to my level 10 twink gear is cheaper there and its lots more fun i did freind you after that supre rage quit decided to go twink beter then end game
and back to topic i agree farmingwith elixer is bs (talking about crystor elixer and kings elixer for vanitys) and not to mention the maps are not always easy to get a party in and km3 is slavery to but hay atleast if your lucky you might get 3 locks a run wich wil put give you 5 k profit.
the only seltion to make money is
get a printer
get inc and paper
start printing money

[Kingofninjas]

Ya but you won't find it, it's nott in a PvP map.

Lmao. Last I checked those magical mugs were worth something. Where is this quest.

[Suentous PO]

Too much attention paid to any lil factor of pvp, too little given to pve.
It's odd to me because some of their other games already have great ideas in them that sts already came up with. Farming works in other of their games, I was likely the richest person in pl to not break the tos to get there and I never merched.

I say next time they come up with a new thing to replace whatever in progression they make 2 versions. They can even look the same but different names, just make one version have slightly worse stats than the top shelf gear. The best can go in crates or whatever. The lesser version is farmable or has a quest. Pvpers will ensure a demand for the best gear id imagine.
Avoid giving it a drop rate like the new lv 16 ( or pl staries or sl vanities ) lol

The new xp quests are so good that I find myself leveling up additional toons to ensure something makes money. The number of lv 56 doing those xp quests is telling you something!

Interesting ideas lets see what sts has to say

You can start it in the Kelys Tavern but in order to be able to craft the Magical Mug you'll need a Fancy Mug which costs 25 platinum. You could also buy it from the auction but that would leave you without any reasonable profit.
