Now lets talk and discuss about this. Feel free to say what you want about it lol.

In my opinion. There's no way sts expect us to trash all our current 4 piece gears (imbued helm,Imbued armor, Arcane ring, Ancient planar pendant) to this new 4 piece mythic set which could be better or worst which come with a SET BONUS.

So I think, arcane ring will still be best and Ancient planar pendant still some what slightly better. The set bonus I believe will work something like (Cleansing Stone, Elondrian Ward, Necro-nom-nomicon and Orb of Ursume which we use during certain events to help ourselves with boss for easier killing.)

so my final saying is, don't rush to get rid of anything just yet lol, those ingredients could also be mythic item which could come from locks and if they are farmable/lootable from bosses. Think about how rare and hard it is to loot ancient planar pendant recipe. =D

We don't have enough information yet to make any decisions, I agree. Without having even a hint of the stats, there's no point speculating on how this will affect the game, either play-wise or economically.

As you say, we also have the unknowns as to how the necessary items are to be obtained, how rare they will be, and whether the ingredients and/or completed items will be tradable.

Ideally these items will be realistically farmable, competitive with the current max gear level (ie. current arcane ringed / imbued stats), and bring everyone back to an even playing field.

Just a small note, panic selling results in running new expansion basically naked. Keep your good gear, you will save in the end on pots, time, and ankhs :) your old gear will always sell one way or the other.

If these new set are comparable then it would be awesome thus making para gem equipment still better. I just hope it isn't too big of a difference forcing players with max gears and perfectly gemmed/para to re-equip and re-gem stuff. It's not exactly something someone wanna go down the road once again.

Was rough converting from mythic to imbued and from 36 mythic to 41 mythic pendant plus blood ruby to arcane ring but at least we had PARA and EYES gem lol.

Para and Eyes gems are kind of running dry if not dried up already. So if having to re-gem all 4 pieces lol which consist of 3 slot each. I will have to say, I'm done.

My only hope is they don't put those in locks or some bs chests a la imbued. Everyone should have a chance at the new stuff with hard work and dedication.

a fixated hard earned mythic gears for example like buying eggs and recipe using Planar Shard/Dragin Tooth to purchase those ingredients?

The planar tomb elite chest wasn't some "bs" la imbued, it was a bold statement made by STS telling us they are listening to community. I know many players have earned a lot of gold from those maps.

What I am hoping for is that there is some type of step wise gradually increasing set bonus with the new mythic gear. Meaning, having all 4 items of the set will give you a "great" set bonus but having 3 pieces of the set will give you only a "decent" set bonus and 2 pieces will give you only a "minor" set bonus. Benefits with this system would be that it would not make arcane ring obsolete after only 1 season and allow a viable combination of arcane ring + 3 mythic item "decent" set bonus. This will also allow people who don't have arcane ring to go a different route and obtain all 4 items of the mythic set for a huge/great set bonus to be competitive against arcane ring users.

WOW awesome idea and well said lol. Just hope sts can keep those +4+3+2 bonus set balanced if they do choose to go down this road. Cause what if +4 set bonus stats combined is greater then a +3 set with arcane ring lol. there's no reason to even bother with arcane ring and better off going with a +4.

To be honest, I think the new gears and items should be earned through hard work, not these random number generators we worship and bend over backwards for. So many people that barely run elites somehow got "lucky" and got good loot, while farmers are got scammed of all their ankhs and pots. But I mean this IS Sts, I'm not so surprised. Luck should play a part in things like crit or how much damage you take from a mob, not if you can be the best player or worst. This is coming from an average geared player,( no mythic bow either). I think by typing this I speak for many people, if not most.

Arcane ring was 2 seasons. Level 41 cap ran double seasons.

I think that what Tatman meant is that it is practically impossible to farm the impossible to farm the imbued set by yourself. I have 1000 + runs in the tombs and I did make plenty of gold along the way, but in all those runs I have looted less than 40 chests, which would have yielded two dark crystal pieces at best and there is not guarantee those would have not been for another class. Or worst case scenario some of the useless lvl 40 ones.

So in other words: did I make enough gold to buy a imbued set? Yes. Could I have looted the ingredients myself? Most probably not

Arcane should not last just one season. Thats so redic.

Level 41 cap was two seasons long. Its lasted a whole year its time to die is coming IMO. Best ring for a year lol I think its time to move on.

Hope the new gear tops all old gear so I could play endgame and afford it. My Opinion; kill the arcane ring and mythic pendant with better stats on the 4 piece set so we can all play endgame together. #Equal0purtunity

Huh? Arcanes are designed to last through 3 seasons of progressed content it has nothing to do w/ the time frame between them.

imo the mythic armor and helm would be better than imbued sets, in jewerly, the ring will be close to arcane ring if its universal(boost all stats), and amulet would be better than planar amulet if its universal (boost all stats).

In contrary if ring and/or amulet are type char (i.e: 45 primary stat/ 22 secon stat), the previuos jewerly will still be the best.

Also that set bonus i guess will be +15 primary stats and 50 armor or 15 all stats and 50 armor, like they did on winter event sets

just my 5c

Yeah people are quick to bash without trying to understand what others actually say. Imagine 4 items x 3 ingredients, all of them in chests that drop once in a blue moon. That's not farming and definitely not hard work.

As for gold - I made a lot of gold from Tombs too. Not from bs luck chests though. From fragments. That's what I call hard farming. Ty.

Arcanes are not designed for anything such that! Its just they did last for long time and we make such assumptions. Stg can outdate an item anytime when they want that should not depend on how much price tag they make in game. Arcane ringers ruled it over year! When we are moving on some items, lets move on over all.

Ah yes very true. Slip my mind about the next season that had started without new level cap.

Yes, I like the fragment idea. This was a step in the right direction. Hopefully they won't revert back to 100% luck, locks, rare drops from rare chests and other such bs.

I just feel that sts will not have a fixated number of Killing to earn something such as mythics lol. Which of course i only hope they do. Other wise i'm done lol. I ran so many planar tombs and only looted 2 chest lol on top of that open 100's of planar tomb chest and never looted any good imbued. Straight up pure luck while people run and loot chest every 3 run and loot imbued randomly in 5 chest. For Ancient pendant recipe lol i think i farmed the most arena and only looted 2 while i see some people loot 2 recipe in one week hahaha.

Tbf this speculation is quite annoying, I wish STS gave us all the information before going all put and giving us only parts of a whole story. I mean, not to the extent of knowing stats, but at least knowing how the crafting process works to get the items in the end.

Leaving us in the dark like this is tortureeeee
