Game is Free to Play
new players playing the game with no way to git gud build unless git gud credit card, pray to RNGeus
Get main to 1370 however long it takes with what little amount of gold and silver you can generate
6.make 1 alt or 2 with 2 free passes repeat process to have enough gold to purchase blue crystals to buy 100pk Pheons.
Hope your main is not popular to increase chances of getting 1370 acc in AH ( how come with 100k+ population certain classes only have like 1 page of acc)
treat game like a job… need to repeat same content over n over n over to make gold, silver, leapstones and shards…
get lucky join a good active helping guild
Get all Characters to t3 then do content over over n over to feed main resourses to go up to 1400’s hopeully now u were able to BIS equiped your main in order to proceed. Oh and you should have covered the GIT GUD phase, Yoho simulator and argos should be a good stepping stone for whats to come until u can valtan park and move up alts to 1370 to join in yohosim runs again.

Dont be a wise guy and attempt to make same class alt, u need pheons to transfer old acc to it once u upgraded your main.
The items should be cheap if they’re meant to be cheap. Pheons are basically just anouther tax that is designed to get people interacting with the currency exchange more.
Good for you. I’m 3x3 on all my alts all free accessories and I’m doing all content just fine. Vykas NM, Valtan HM all that. bought stones and that’s it. Bought 2 pieces on my main and doing all content just fine as well.
I’m sure the current contents can all be done with 3x3. There is no doubt about that.
A lot of people that go for 4x3 or 5x3 aren’t doing that because they truly think it’s impossible to clear valtan or vykas if they don’t have them. I, for one, find building my character strong ‘fun’. I like planning my 5x3 engraving setup and work hard to achieve that. And I love seeing the new high damage and clearing contents a bit faster and also appearing in the mvp screen.
I even gear all my 1370 alts with 4x3 / 1x1 setup (All my toons are blue gunlancer, so hence the 1x1 for CR). And yes, this requires legendary engraving books. It is expensive for sure and yes I bought hundreds of pheons with blue crystals, but at the end of the day, i dont care as long as i have fun playing them.
The actual shitshow is people not even bothering to list a lot of non-bis accessories. For a whole week I can’t find a relic with +3 class +3 grudge. I can get away with it since I have 2 books at +12, but people just don’t even try to sell acc like that
Everyday a new post about pheons, why dont u guys just buy some pheons from the shop with your gold?
Why are non bis items so cheap? Because of pheons. The cost of pheons is calculated into the price of those semi useful accessories. If pheons are removed then the price of the accessories will also increase because ppl will start buying them. And then you will have a new higher market price and you will cry again saying its too expensive again to gear alts.
In fact for people who use the free pheons they get in a smart way, they get to get these accessories for cheaper. Is it that complicated to change ur gold to blue crystals and then buy pheons? This is another benefit of pheons btw, it helps the blue crystal market
I think they need to get rid of pheon costs for anything below relic…just WAY too expensive to gear up 1340/1370 and so people are ignoring it and waiting for 1415…and so nothing is selling and it snowballs that eventually you just won’t be able to get those…
There’s no before pheons in our version and our version is nothing like the korean experience.
Nothing about pheons was adjusted to our version, to the botting/rmt problem, to the extremely fast pacing of the game, very fast switching of the tears, very newbiew-unfriendly experience because of said pacing and because they can’t seem to make up their mind with the handouts (they are either way too generous and they make players feel like they have enough or way too stingy with them when they actually needed them), to the ru/kr/jp veterans abusing the market, and especially to the lack of any in-game emphasys on what they are and what they do. No game should require googling something to understand what it does.
There’s no comparison to be made between the two.
Personally I never said everything about the pheons is bad. However there a ton of problems about them and absolutely no adjustments have been made for our version of the game, even when there was a desperate need for at least some tweaks. Most notably when the botting and rmt were in full force. And it’s an unfun system overall.
I’m really curious how many people quit only because of this as-is/as-was shit system. Now it’s too late. SG/AGS might as well shove them up their ***
You have no idea what you’re even talking about. A low ceiling? Cheap items? Just complete nonsense. The former doesn’t mean anything and the latter is just false, as the Pheon costs would be fixed to a degree after which it wouldn’t increase anymore beyond the initial Pheon cost we already have. Hence the accessory prices would stay the same for higher tiered accessories, while it would also mean that prices for budget accessories would increase because there would be more demand for them, which would still mean that it’d still be cheaper to buy them because the Pheon costs wouldn’t be insane
Right now the only way you can sell budget accessories is to put them on the market for 19 gold and wait until someone dumb enough comes along and buys it off you, without any proper knowledge of the Pheon costs. Which is not a reliable or consistent market at all, hence there’s a fundamental problem that needs a solution. And the solution is very simple: Price based Pheon costs
This isn’t realistic and would result in an overly complicated system. Tying blue crystal price fluctuation to market demand price fluctuation is a bad idea overall.
And nobody wants to pay 100 pheons for an expensive bis accessory. While you might not be suggesting that, we need to keep in mind companies are greedy so this is their version of your suggestion
However, I think it’s reasonable that the pheon price on legendary items should be lowered once the relic sets have been introduced on the market. Same for ancient vs relic items. As a baseline. I get the high end items, but why do we really need this for legendaries at this point. And tier 2 and purple accessories shouldn’t cost pheons at all. Like come on it’s not like a lot of pheons are getting used for that, 99% of people know not to do that. So it’s just a gate at this point. Just a forced “play your shitty alt the shitty way”.
The dumbest thing possible is the fact that selling tier 2 legendary stones is more profitable then tier 3 ones. This is how backwards the current system is.
