Developing Story: Arcane Shards Discovered in Mount Rockhorn!

[Kakashis]

The precious! Thanks for another peek at what's to come.

My precious!

[papu]

well, this news even encourage me now to start farm locked again

I hope the shard is not 20m or more. And the teeth should be tradeable because the rich people dont want to grind hundreds of elites for a quest (see how they disagree with cracking barrels), so it makes some profit for us the elite farmers who dont have shards to craft but have a lot of teeth's!

Arcane Crafting Coming to Arlor

As the heroes of Arlor grow in strength, so grows the Arcane Power flowing throw the Ether. Advance scouts from the isles of Tindirin report the discovery of a most curious anomaly. Tiny crystal shards radiating with Arcane energy!

There is still much to discover about these Arcane Shards, but it seems that when combined with certain essences, they can be transformed into powerful Arcane items!

---------------------------

Creating compelling and exciting new items is one of the many objectives the Development Team has. We are evolving the next Arcane Item (a ring) that will be found in the coming Dragon Enclave expansion to use the Crafting system in its creation.

Tradeable Arcane Shards will be found very rarely from Locked Grand Crates of the Watch.

The recipe for the new Arcane Item will be available for those who collect Dragons Teeth, a currency that is most valuable to the inhabitants of Tandirin. Dragons Teeth are only dropped by fearsome Elite Bosses.

The exciting part of using Crafting for this is the possibilities for the future. While we will only use Crafting for this initial new Arcane Ring, it may extend to old Arcane Items and additional new ones.

We will continue our research and update you as we learn more!

I think you meant to spell through? lol

Anyways how rare are the dragon teeth? Also when u said, "fearsome elite bosses" does that mean that it doesn't only drop from the enclave elite places but also other elite spots too like shuyal? I actually like this idea of how you can get an arcane ring. The plat spenders can loot the shards from the lock grand crates, but they will still have to farm for the dragons teeth to be able to craft it. I hope more arcane items are like this as then no one can just sit around anymore and pop open crates until they loot something good.

Queen's suggestion is good also as at least the people who spend the majority of their time in elites should be able to get a little cash out of this and would help someone get rid of the extras that they have once they have finished obtaining the recipe to be able to craft the arcane ring or they can just sell it if they feel that they wouldn't be able to afford the shards.

Still hoping for the exciting quests similar to the ones back in season 1.

Im not sure if it would reach all the way up to 20mil, maybe but Im not so sure people would want a new arcane ring more than they would want a new arcane wep. If the arcane shards were to be as hard to find as the arcane weapons then it might because the arcane staff was still around 50mil halfway through the season and 20mil is only 40% of the price so it might be reasonable. It will all just depend on how much the buyers are willing to pay.

About time you made Elite required for the best gear. I was getting tired of everyone with a think wallet getting the best gear while elite farmers scrape by while counting pennies.

awesome

The way I see it:

1. Making these shards platinum-only would severely limit the number of audience they want to get impressions from by implementing this new system. As said, it's not going to be used solely for arcane rarity items so it'd make more sense to note the opinions of the average future users.

2. I like how the name is specified because it hints that there's a possibility that these shards can be obtained through other means as well. So looting one by means other than opening locked chests would result in bound arcane shards.

3. I don't like the "will be found very rarely" part. I believe in past arcane item releases it was plainly "will rarely drop". Not very!

4. Dragons Teeth will be a new type of story tokens/hauntlet coins. Non tradable. It's very likely that other items/armor/pets will be accessible with it as well.

Cool

[Anarchist]

That is what i am talking about baby.

Bring it on!

[Castellann]

Great!

[Instanthumor]

Sigh.. No arcane bow...

Not solid.


Also is this the itemizations factor, ring will be released- than later on a weapon ?

I don't think there's going to be an arcane weapon this upcoming season. They stated that the ring would be THE arcane item for the season, so I'm not too sure about an arcane bow

[TheMightyFeusalet]

great, but the poor people will become poorer

[Xeusx]

Then the pvp become more hard and deadly, like a hell :O

[Nagin]

arcane shards won't be 15m each or some insane price I predict. 2-3m more like it?

Actually arcane ring will be 75-100m easily since all classes can use it and it will obviously give a sick boost as compared to shayul ring..

Since its not bound to a specific class and can be traded ( unlike pets)… its price will be ALOT...
If a staff ( bound to mages only) can sell for 60m when released few months ago, dont expect arcane ring to be lesser than 75-100m..

About arcane shards, suppose we craft ring from 2-3 arcane shards.. The price of arcane shards will be 25-40m atleast also keeping in mind arcane shards are arcane items and their drop rates is <0.1%

[jeocapat]

Wonder how it'll look like :3

[ElfDreamer]

Amazing!!

[sciucafez]

Woooow cool
