Revised Eye recipe is a joke

[Derezzzed]

First let's start off by seeing the change to the recipe



Now let's check out the auction prices 10 MINUTES after the post went up








Now never mind the hit this just caused on the gem economy let's get a few things straight here: 10gems each = 300 ESSENCE you have to farm - to craft these said 30gems without plat'n through the timer it takes a minimum of 2days - not to mention the ice dragon scales + eye drop + the already 10plat item (orb) needed to craft the eye

This is simply ridiculous: this needs to be looked at again, either revise it to a set amount of essence (say 30 of each) or make it 5gems each so we can atleast craft the materials in a 24h period

The 25 planar doesn't seem so bad now..

I think 5 of each gem is reasonable, 10 is a little much.

Get farming, get rich! Start now!

*whistles* I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!

Not to mention that the other item that is a drop is probably recipe-like in rareness, meaning this whole event is a waste of time.

Think of it this way, the gem looks to be an automatic grand gem. It takes an average of 20-30 regular gems (glacian, fire, or blood) to get one grand gem while updating, so using 30 gems to get an automatic grand gem seems resonable...

^as far as ️Ik no one has gotten it on test server

Seriously, this is really a big windfall for the little guys who are going to be doing the event without plat. It actually gives the regular gems some value again. Usually the price of regular gems plummet during an event due to everyone farming for essences to craft energy. It is always a struggle to decide whether or not to liquidate the non energy and non event essences, or to clutter up your inventory and waste crafting slots to craft regular gems when you can be crafting energy and event chests instread. Last event I got to platinum level with two alts mostly without plat, farming and crafting almost all of my energy. At the same time I crafted about twenty of each regular gem. If they hold their inflated value of say just 10k this event, that is 60x 10k or 600k earned during the event just from crafting regular gems as a byproduct of farming for energy... Really a win win situation for the non plat spenders and not so rich in the game!

You only get 1 para mythic gem during the whole 2 weeks of Halloween event. So this winter event you might get 2 syrillax mythic gem lol.

I like this better than planar ones for sure. My 3 twinks would have had no chance to craft it otherwise and had no reason to go for plat tier. My level 10 rogue always has the easiest time in events of all my guys and I always look forward to soloing all the bosses.

Now for the decision to sell my hoarded gems or save them to craft the new gems lol.

[debitmandiri]

And now im regret selling all my gem lol.....there was 50+ in my inventory hahaha

[epicrrr]

10 of each gem is a lot, I'd say 4-6 is a good number. The removal of planar essence is much appreciated or otherwise my 13 rog will be raging for the whole event.

After one night, prices still low (4k-6k5)
I'll not complain bc farming gems will be a good way to earn some gold during this event.

I think the principal pb is new gem stats, a bit low for too much things to collect

I hope there's nothing happen with essense drop rate

An interesting decision is going to be whether or not to craft regular gems (blood, fire, glacial) which people will need to craft this eye gem, or to use your essences to craft tarlok gems, which will surely be worth more later on. But during the event, it will be interesting to see what the prices of each are. Considering it takes 30 gems to craft the eye gem, I suspect the regular gems may actually be in higher demand than the tarlok gems during the event, but maybe later on it would be more profitable to have crafted tarlok gems and hold onto them for a few months and then sell.
