    Default My opinions on Artifact farming

    In short....

    All the players who play BOTH twink AND endgame can farm ALL the ingredients for crafting this new complete game-changing item PLUS profit from selling to players who ONLY play at one level!!

    How is this a good thing?

    What happened to making such game-changing items farmable to give everyone a chance at items that make or break whether a player can adequately compete in this game?

    I think all the ingredients for such an item should be farmable by BOTH Engamers AND Twinks.

    I tried make a twink, i end up "no thanks ill stick to my endgame" ,, :3
    Make it available for both in end game, maybe we need 2 different entry token to get victus in endgame too, token for artjfact farm and victus farm, we choose which item we want to farm, twink has no choice but farming victus, just my thought

    Agreed Leoakre.
    All types should drop to any level.

    I made a 30 Mage, died a lot, then used 2 elixirs and 20ish min latter received a magnar.
    I'd rather brush my teeth with tinfoil than to farm on twinks.

    Some people don't enjoy nor want to twink, just as others don't enjoy endgame nor want to play endgame. The crafting ingredients should be available for both communities to farm and craft. Again, not my point but thank you for the reply.

    Not a bad idea at all. Thank you for the constructive suggestion!

    The solution is simple. Either drop fragments for both levels, or have only one type of rune for artifact 10-30 (forget rune name) &I have one type of rune for artifact (30-61).

    i do agree that all ingredients should be farmable by all levels, i mean i didnt bother with artifacts becuase i dont wanna spend gold on making a proper twink to farm or buy the runes i cant farm.

    both fragments should drop in all levels. its easy to make another toon but to gear it up in order to survive the new map kinda costly too plus running multiple toons just to farm for the materials is just a lil too much.

    I don't see a problem with the current system. Finally there is actually something worth farming for with a twink.

    Yes, it's true the prices for the victus rune is more than manga, but that is a temporary thing until more twinks start farming these.

    I'll say this once again, but there is no need to farm every item you want. Just like in real life, when you want a steak I doubt many of you decide to start raising cattle. You probably leave that to someone else to do and just buy your steak. We all work jobs doing specific things, and then we use our earned money to buy the other items we need in life. That is how an economy functions, and AL should be no different. Find something you like to farm, then spend your time on that, sell your loot, and then buy the items you need.

    I don't know about your twink friends, but my twink friends made twinks to play PvP "all the time" and own that bracket. I doubt a lot of twinks will farm it. Twinks will use lower tier artifacts as well, hence, if they get the best tier artifact for their level bracket, even less twinks will farm it. The huge imbalance between the magna and victus supply is the problem.

    Using your steak reference, sure if you want steak, you would probably buy instead of raising cattle on their own. But you could also raise it if you want. However, on runes, and endgame toon is denied that choice. You cannot farm it on that endgame toon. You would have to make another lower level toon, gear it up and farm. No offense, but it's like telling people go make younger versions of yourself to raise cattle, if you get what I mean.

    Also, considering the amount of both runes needed to craft per artifact tier, I doubt that the prices on both runes will be close to equal anytime soon. What is asked is for everything to be available to all. That way there would be a better balance of supply on both runes. If not, at least decrease the amount of victus runes needed for crafting the artifact. We are not saying we will farm everything we need by ourselves, we are just asking to have the option to farm it.
