This is just really strange. The drop ones are better, mostly. Now with greater cost on bought ones, you will likely have more access the drop ones first.Originally Posted by Arianna
And the greaters are still terrible, mostly.
I was expecting a price drop on greaters.
Raid rifts are easy as long as you have 10 people.
if your guild doesn't have 10 people, then you are not raiding. I don't know why you need them.
Or you can pug it, getting 15 people in 50 channel!
water and death might be a bit hard with 10.
10 raid geared people probably fine. But 10, t2? no, I wouldn't do that.
ok, all of the blues you can buy have been upgraded as well. cost went from 15 crystal sourcestones to 46 AND 1500 planarite.
example of an upgraded blue is the Sorcerer's Flame from the fire vendor.
live 12int, 10wis, 13crit
alpha 16int, 12wis, 14crit
Experience is the best teacher.. if you can afford the tuition.
46!?!?! I hope that's a typo.

whats wrong with wanting to improve your character simply for the sake of being better? why does it have to be for raiding?
Id love to do more damage and have more resists just to be able to do more damage and have more resists.
Also, 3 inscribed from the dailys...thats what...an entire weeks worth of raid rift dailys just to buy one essence? a full month and a half to fill a single set, and god forbid you have multiple roles?
One week for one lesser is bad? As I said, they do not need to be upgraded constantly. I wish I could get a piece of gear guaranteed from raid every week. When Hammer comes out, I will probably still have at least 2 set pieces missing.
Also as I said, you can pug raid rifts. Stay small guild that focus on quality can bring 10 geared players, zerg guild can bring 20 players, and guildless can pug with 20 people.
Soooo, what's the point of greater essences now? They're really meh right now, and with these changes they're inferior.
Brynx <Myth> Mage of Seastone
So, where are the damn pvp essences at?
So again... stuff you can buy...
is now better than drops...
had it's price increased...
purchasing currency is harder to obtain...
With all this grind, you'd think Trion ran a flour mill.
Welcome to Rift 1.2
No Challenge. No Reward. No Point.
The water or life vendor(cant remember which) sells essences that replace spell power/crit with endurance, thats probably the most pvp friendly essence youll get.
Its silly to believe that you can ignore an entire aspect of the game(in this case pve) and still fill every gear slot.
PvErs havent been complaining that the best dps trinket in the entire game comes from the codex, why do pvpers feel such a sense of entitlement to "never need to pve for gear."
A head scratching change. I mean, yeah, it's nice for those of us who already piled on lessers in our sigil...but when are they going to make greaters worth getting? This is what needs addressing.
I checked the vendor greaters. LOL
The elemental stone was buffed to give 93 SP, up from 84 on live.
Flametouched gives 31 sp, up from 28.
Gravetouched gives 32 sp, up from 30 to your undead pets.
That's it. The others are the same.
Red ball + fulminate + really craptacular dom/pyro spec trying to hard cast transmog and pray your spell lands before some squirrel punching moron eats your controlled opp proc = +1 board warrior keeping mages from being realistically balanced in PVE or PVP. 1.0-1.2's best combo in the game. RIP FOTM Pyro rollers
daily raid rift gives 6 inscribed instead of 3. same with the expert. it gives 6 crystal sourcestones.
Experience is the best teacher.. if you can afford the tuition.
Odd, so they doubled the cost and reward. What's the point? Unless it's a change for something in the future or a wacky way to "buff" the Greaters, except by making the Lessers better they essentially nerfed the greaters lol
Oh Trion....
