You can do 3x3 without spending a lot of pheon. Yes, you do need a 6/6 stone but at least you can ignore the 2nd engraving on jewelry.
Trying to 4x3 or better is impossible without the market however. One of my bigger issues with the game is how gearing works. All you can hope for is to get some good drop to sell to someone else so you can buy your accessories. No crafting system, no way to gear yourself, just Market.
So 6/6 stone and whatever proper stat proper class engraving jewelry you scrounge up from Oreha/Argos.
With relic stones your odds are increased significantly than when we just had legendary stones. Getting a 6/6, while you are right is total RNG and many might suffer honestly isn’t that bad.
Suppose I might be a bit bias as well, I never really had that bad of a time cutting stones for my main/alts.
If you got Legendary Engravings for you main, you don’t need a 6x6 stone to have 3x3… I went for Grudge and KBW earlier when they were cheaper due to this, I didn’t want to make more of the same class, and it’s really easy to make a 3x3 with legendary engravings + class acessories from Argos/Oreha
As I said on my previous answer, you need to have friends or a good guild to know people that would accept you with 3x3… And it depends on the Legendary Engravings you have, mine are Grudge and KBW, these two with the class engraving for DPS is good enough… You’re not being carried on content with 3x3.
I guess you have low roster level, because even when I needed to do some pugs sometimes, it wasn’t an issue to have 3x3 for Valtan Normal Mode, it took longer but it wasn’t impossible for Vykas Normal as well. Valtan Hard I still managed to make with a 3x3 on pugs, but my roster level (177) and the complete relic set should have weighted on them accepting me
I can’t believe that you can RMT without getting banned? RMT is such a risky thing to do with very little gain, now RMT only gives you 10-15% more gold than selling skins compared to back in days when it was 3 times the value.
Why anyone ever want to risk 2k+ hours in game just for little gold? Maybe people with no brain?
Still playing with 3x3 on 1415 and doing upright fighter damage on SH or cruel annihilator. Getting accepted into Valtan with no issue at all. I have lvl 7 gems tho.
ags have let those bots farm gold like crazy for 2 months , 20k gold rmt is 7 euro now what the hell seriously this is getting ridiculous . Blue crystal went from 1200 to 1700 in barely 1 week.
NAW 100$ skins = 30k x 5 = 150k
100$ RMT = 200k
Also no point in discussing it anyway even if it provides more value as noone who invested good amount of time in game wana risk RMT as we all know there are huge chances of getting banned. I personally know 8 players who got banned so far and many many many posts here and there.
