[Achievement]: Crafting Arcane Ring

[Zeus]

Hello!

Recently, there has been requests for hard achievements. I was thinking, why not take existing infrastructure and make an achievement out of it?

• Buying Arcane Ring recipe = 250 AP
• Crafting Arcane Ring = 250 AP

What do y'all think? I don't think that the Overall Player LB should be constituted of PvE kills. This is a way to solve that!

Thoughts?

LB is up there for making players has a goal to pursue during their game time, not a way to turn the game into to money race.

How would it turn the game into a money race? Right now, all the overall leaderboard is is an extension of the PvE leaderboard.

There are arcane APs, why can there be an AP for crafting an arcane item? The only leaderboard it would change is the Top Player leaderboard - something which should be more than just maxed out APs and most kills to get on.

A recipe would be non-tradable, so you have to do the work yourself. The rich who payed others to get the ring will be forced to work hard as well.

I say this as a shard holder. It won't even affect me because I still won't be on leaderboards (nor do I care about being on them).

However, it is a good AP for those who require an extra challenge. Crafting a ring IS a challenge. You can be rich enough to buy the shard, but very few people in the game posses the capability of grinding out both the shard and the recipe.

Secondly, it's already a bot race. This would kill a lot of bots that think they can use programs to keep on the LB.

Maybe buying the recipe. Crafting it is Midas Touch AP all over again.

AP: Accumulate 1000 Dragkin teeth (1000 must be in your satchel at one point)

An AP for accumulating Dragkin Teeth might be a good idea, but CRAFTING an Arcane Ring?

Parf you're starting to sound like somebody who USUALLY suggests these post and you know who I'm referring to.

+1 on AP for accumulating # of Dragkin Teeth
-9000 on AP for Crafting and Arcane Ring

Don't start driving anytime soon.

I know,

The thing is, it's already a bot race. The only way to stop that without STG banning each one is to kill their resources. Having money based APs is the only way.

It's not a Midas touch, because unlike Midas, it would be very difficulty to "lend" this AP.

Making the recipe alone again turns it into a bot race, it won't matter the number.

They can always alter the ingredients within the recipe to craft the ring which can dampen their resources. It takes 150 Teeth to get the recipe, but what are the full list of ingredients needed to craft one? I'd make a very VERY hard to bot item. This can cut off their botting actions.

There's rock, paper, and scissors and then there's: <<<<< my driving skillz

@Kei

An item where you really can't SOLO and I'm sure there are alot of items ingame that you cannot solo that has to drop from a specific boss. You can make it a specific "essence" from a boss. And I'm not talking about only (1). I'm talking about a couple.

Did you say Elite Alargan? LOLWUT?

Elite Alargan's teeth? Have to collect 500? Sounds like a plan to me!

The car is fine, you'll want to gang the driver..

Since there are already "teeth" in the game. They can rename it to Essence of Alargan or something to that matter.

Teeth farming ap, sure. Arcane ring crafting ap, a big fat no. There is already an arcane ap.


Edit: a few points...

Pve kills does nothing to get you onto the leaderbaord, it only orders the top players on the lb. The most important factors in getting on the lb are the 5k and 10k flag AP and the midas touch AP. There is a person halfway up the overall lb with less than 100k pve kills.

This achievement can still be shared once people get 150 teeth as the crafted ring is still sellable. You can lend the shard to someone and get the ring back plus or minus gold. The only thing that would prevent this ap from being shared between close friends is if the ring became bound like the mythic helmet and armor.
