@justinasbar The problem I have with this is it takes the same mats to upgrade skills as it does your character. You have to pick between vertical progression or to sell a item/trait. A weapon alone is 50 enchanted ink which you only get 50 a week. It's piss poor to mix the skill book mats with the same mats you use to sell shit.
@MrChibblez The mats you loot from the open world dungeons are the very same mats you spend to craft either skill books or a lithograph. I only mentioned ink because you are limited to 50 a week via the vendor and it cost 50 for a weapon litho.
@@Omnistorm860 oh gotcha. I haven’t had too much problem with that right now. You can dismantle purple stuff to make blues. I have 2 maxed out skills right now. It will all be levelled sooner or later.

Thx, some great tips! It's worth mentioning that those scroll contracts don't count towards the 5/5, so you can collect 5 (while refreshing) to get all in the same area and then refresh the scroll contract until you also get the same area and thereby maximising efficiency.
My problem with the tip at 4:40 is that rare rubix cost significantly more (around 70 on our current server) which means you put 700 lucent in rubrix alone to make the staff lithograph, where the alabaster band Emerets go for 7.5, so you are only putting in 37.5 lucent worth of sellable mats (since you only need 5), alongside only half of the other mats to make the band, making it similar, if not more profitable
This is why you have to look at the market and decide on what is more worth it after calculating everything. Cause going for an accessory or armor may be more profitable depending on your market.

You can go to your inventory and click on the gear you want to get your blessing up, then click on "trait list" and then you can see which pieces are compatible for feeding👍 (i hope my eng is understandable)
Im kinda confused on this tbh, if you spend 30 lucent on average of 10x to get your blessing to 100% to then spend 500 on a max health for guaranteed roll, thats around 800 lucent give or take, why not just buy a purple max health roll for guaranteed chance for the same price or less?
They make things 10 times more complicated than they need to be. You have to literally study countless videos to try to figure out how to get your purple gear.
Couldn't agree less. Just click on the gear you want and you can see all the ways to obtain it. It's not complicated at all. Edit: Lithograph are simple they are for buyers. If you have a item with bad roll for that item turn it into a Lithograph to sell to whales. Now you have good lucent.
Really good info. Actual good tips and and advice. Especially about the abyss currency purple select items. A lot of other youtubers are just regurgitating the same thing over and over.
While I respect the video and what you have showed us, creating lithographs for weapons is extremely expensive in comparison to creating armor or accessories, so everyone be aware of that. I was calculating that few days ago and this is what i came up with - blank weapon lithograph : 620+ lucent cost, accessory litho - 42.5+ lucent cost, armor - 49+. As you can see the difference is massive, of course it all depends on the market prices in your region.
For me it's only worth to craft a wpn lithograph if you have something that sells for at least 2500 lucent, in any other case better craft x2 armor/accessory.
These were my thoughts, too. However, if the limiting factor is the abyss token, you need to check again. The Rubrix makes the weapon hell of expensive
The weapon lithograph method would make since, but the blank lithograph for weapons costs around 900 lucent to make. Sell the 10 red rubys instead for 90 lucent a piece.
At least on my server NAE percy, the red rudys cost about 93 lucent currently. Better off selling those materials and picking whatever piece u want from the chest
@@jonathanfrancis4135 yea they are about 120 Each on NAW rn so the whole lithograph weapon for a ring idea is DOA. You end up spenidng more lucent buying the rubrix, or if you would of just sold the rubrix you had. You could afford the ring anyway, and possibly craft a 2nd ring for a 2nd trait
Good stuff. Saved for future reference. After starting an alt with some experience it's also way smoother and my main will most likely be the alt going forward.
First of all thanks for the Arena tokens, i had no idea about them and no one in the 5634534 videos i watched said anything. Second, a small note, enchanted ink is really really precious and really limited. Not only to f2p players but also to whales. with 50 per week (plus extra 50 every month) you honestly need to be really wise about how you use it, especially when it comes to weapons since its double the amount. Dont waste it on mediocre lithos of mediocre value, you might get a drop that worth 5k-10k lucent and you'll have to wait a week to sell it... Also, purification stone can be delayed since it's a more hardcore pvp "extra" that wont be of great use if you are undergeared, so focus on other things before spending the absurd amount of mats and gold needed. Third and last, Gear Score doesn't really tell the whole truth about your actual value. It's a combination of gear level, traits, skills, and weapon mastery. So, if you leveled up wrong/bad skills, and if you transfer garbage traits, you will still get a decent number in gear score but your overall dps/tankiness etc isn't by definition worth this number. I was using trash traits on blue gear to feed blessings on tranfer and my gearscore was insanely high but it was full of resists and health regen, on a DPS char :D so, dont get fooled with fancy numbers. anyway great video and straight to the point, keep up the good work mate
This daily/weekly stuff stress me a lot, thanks for the video lad! I am still trying to figure it out this game, for now my biggest struggle is how to farm/craft better gear, because I am running with greens and so far all blue/purple are like not for my build.
@gizmo6606 2:20 what do you do with that item afterwards? it has 2 bad traits after all. 1. stack it with blessing and transfer onto another item? 2. or do you reroll the traits with unlockstones? does it change depdending if the trash traits lvl up or not?
i'm already seeing it now, they made getting lucent so fking complicated that the average player after hitting lvl 50 will stop progressing as they do not have enough lucent to trait gears so they're gonna quit. The progression after lvl 50 is literally behind lucent and if you don't know how to make them you're cooked, it's insane bruh
No it’s not… you can farm the stuff yourself. You can grind lower level mobs for lower tier gear and feed it to your traits. Have you never played an mmo before? There is always the faster option of spending currency or farming yourself.
Havent spent a singular dime, and have 20k lucent. Hit 50 a week ago, not every mmo needs to hold your hand. Its insane you speak about something you clearly havent done; and act like you've done it.... bruh; you can get to 2500 without any traits; and legit smack people until t2 comes out if you choose your targets, again that means having a brain. But ggs and goodluck if you try to actually give it a chance!
Yap ahead: Just giving a little notice as to why this system will break down rapidly long-term. The "just make lucent" strategy gets harder and harder as time goes on and as the market shifts towards newer and harder to aquire gear. I joined an EA server about 2 weeks after public launch to play with friends who had been playing since EA. This means I missed the boat completely on the emerging market since these servers are a couple months deep into content, and current prices on 90% of gear are extremely low. Most of the stuff you get won't be worth the extraction/litho costs. The lucent income as a f2p player doing regular world bosses and daily content is extremely low, 95% of open world dungeon/coop dungeon gear is worthless, even the epics. The items that are valuable are world boss drops which are incredibly rare. The main income source now is either: a) getting incredibly lucky with a world boss drop worth thousands of lucent b) selling a few items here and there for 20-50 lucent, a handful worth 100+, and very slowly grow some wealth. Nothing like the people who made "70k+ lucent completely f2p" because they were in the wild-west early markets selling blue gear for hundreds of lucent and epic lithographs of open-world dungeon weapons to whales for 1-5k lucent. The most expensive drop I've recieved after 3 weeks of playing, and not counting guild raid drops, was worth 400 lucent. I've recieved only 4 drops worth more than 200 lucent, and maybe around 8-10 drops worth more than 100. In total I've made maybe around 2-3k lucent on the AH in the almost 2 weeks I've been trading on it, and the markets only going lower. Over half of all the money I've made has gone to fully traiting a single purple weapon, the only epic I am currently able to afford (and one of the cheapest pieces of epic gear for my build). I'm doing all my dailies rolling on as much gear as I can, and hoarding enchanted ink but have yet to recieve a single epic worth the material cost of a lithograph. I'm having fun with friends, and my traited blue gear is good enough for now so I'm in for the grind, but people who are going to join 1 or 2 months from now are going to have it even worse than me, and the fresh start servers from launch will be where I currently am in a couple more weeks.
so you gotta have the actual item aswell before you can make the blank with all the resources into the actual weapons lithograph? i'm confused because if we open the chest we get the item is the item itself not sellable?
quick question is it worth seeking and grinding a blue gear set, I know I need to trait out but is it logical to grind for a blue set (mini version of your build) before working on purples? Btw 400 lucent for a blue trait is insane its crazy how the game is super inflated in the beginning wish was there to see it
Thank you for this video. I've seen people say it is better to lvl up purple gear to lvl 7(+30%) before transferring blue gear enchant into it to actually save stones... is it actually better?
I'll be laughing in 2 months when devs gonna power creep your "endgame" gears by adding legendaries, runes, more bosses and dungeons and few other things😂
Very informative, thanks for the tips. I saw somewhere that we should be prioritizing the red stones from daily contracts but you prefer the material select or the other stone. Do u think the red stones are a grief?
He explained that... there is no correlation, hes just using bind res because its a cheap trait on his server, to max out the blessing gauge on the item, so when he DOES put a trait on the item that he wants, its immediately maxed out without having to pay for multiple extract charges on the AH.
On my server theres not much point making lithos of anything! A lucid staff from island dropped 3x on the first day. Was tempted to make it into lithos to sell. Checking price in the morning was 1.5k then afternoon lowest listed was 900. Haha. So beware, the price on AH is listed price not RL purchased price. Make lithos at ur own risk
People selling stuff are braindead when it comes to profit. I’ve seen that multiple times from the world of warcraft expansion launches. They either bomb the prices out of fear they don’t sell, so everyone follows them on low prices. Or they found a profit margin so slim they nuke the price to push others out of the market. It’s so crazy seeing people using economics tactics to play a game, only to mAxImIZe PrOFits and play the AH game.
If you're a free player and you sell in the AH. 1. you are working voluntarily and you don't know it. You do the grind, slap it in the AH. Someone buys in game currency and buys it off you. The game gets cash, and you? 2. You're helping pay to win have a home in gaming.
How do i sell A purple ring? i know about extracting and lithographs but i see things on the auction without any of that.. Its so weird and confusing how do i do that?
how do you gain enough growth stones to get several purples to 9? ive been grinding everyday but i only have enough to upgrade 1 or 2 purples to max for each section, weapon, armor, accesory. how could i get more? im doing all my contracts daily, dungeons, events, abyss.
when u get a purple u should level it to 7 then transfer your lvl 9 blue into it to save some growthstones and get the purple instantly to 9. I recommend getting contracts that give the ore for growthstones, and start farming open world dungeons where the rubrix, stalon, etc ore has a high drop rate. Remember to buy all the growthstones from the ornate shop as well
So if we feed the trait to a dead roll and it actually level up, do we restart the blessing again? or do you recommend we just feed the trait once or twice to the dead roll?
So many types of currencies/tokens/conversions spread across so many UI, games nowadays really make things overly complicated. Good info from your vid though.
for the abyss tokens would that bracelet not be better to buy than the weapon u showed since it costs like 500 lucent to make a weapon blank lithograph rather than 50 but also takes 50 ink rather than 25 making it less lucent per ink, and ink is the only gated resource as u cant farm it?
@@JW-ku4sy so, its just more efficient to convert it into the least expensive trait out of your BIS traits then feed blues into that trait, almost got baited by this vid..
if you're f2p fully traited blues are better than purples, if you can afford to max trait a purple its usually a nerf to go from blue > purple (in pvp anyhow)
im level 50 crossbow & dagger but want to switch to longbow & staff, would you say to restart a new character from level 1 or switch and grind drops to get new armour/weapon stats
Thanks for the tips but another TH-camr say to get the colored stones in the contracts. May I know is it progression based? As in how far I’m in with my gears etc. do you change to your suggestions at a certain gear level when you don’t need colored stones? Cause I just broke 50 2 days ago and have been taking the colored stones all this time as with the parchment. Would like your thoughts about this. Thanks!
Once your armor is level 9, you have absolutely no use for colored stones (for armor) unless you’re leveling a different set entirely. Same for each of the stones. However, polished crystals and material chests will forever be needed for lucent earning and other uses. I’ve also never had any issues with running out of colored stones, where I have when it comes to polished crystals. It seems the game gives you way more of the former.
Sorry i don't understand the lito part. I get that instead of choosing a low value item we must choose an high value one. But you are not taking into account the lito craft. For example in my server the most expensive thing (beside weapon that are 2x cost) is the necklace for 600+ lucents. Now i need a pair of legs that costs around 400 lucent. If i choose the necklace then i also need to craft a lito, that based on my server price, is 50 lucent for 5x stalon and i don't know how much is the lucent value for 25 ink, leather ecc. So, my profit is not 200 lucent, i honestly think there is no profit at all, cuz 200 lucent for a lito is too low. On the other hand i can just choose the legs and i'm good. I'm i doing some bad calculation or am i actually right?
The gear, weapon, and character upgrading system is horrendous. The game play is phenomenal, the story is phenomenal, and the combat is phenomenal. I really enjoy this game but, my only problem with this game is what I mentioned. The upgrade system needs a complete redo.
if u have the same piece of gear but with different traits, you can "stamp" the trait from one onto the other. he's saying if you have 1400, and you buy that litho for 900, you can spend 500 lucent to buy a trait on the same item to stamp onto ur crafted litho
TL:DR : get good traits to sell and good items to sell as litograph. Basically get lucky. Got 139h in play and never got any item or trait sellable at more than 200 lucent. Never got max hp on those 300+ lucent blue item. Never got a trait on purple worth selling more than 150 (1 out of 20 purple) etc.. Wish I had your luck. Also depending on servers, eco is very different. US servers have prices ranging from 2 to 10 times more vs EU servers. Price are all over the top.
while it can beneficial to take more expensive item from those boxes you should also make sure that the craftin that lithograph and selling it wont actually cost you more after you buy the item you want. In my server precious rubrix price is 40-50 lucent each so crafting that lithograph would cost you atleast 400 lucent + ink. At this point its almost better to just sell your rubrix instead of selling items.
five hundred profit. You probably forgot that red crystals for crafting a lithograph cost 50 and you need 10 of them. That is, the profit is not 500-600 but 0-100. but you also spend 50 weekly enchanted to get 100 Lucent
He probably forgot but it doesnt change the fact that u arent supposed to randomly take an item u need from the selection chest instead of checking prices of other items first to compare, like he did. The staff was only an example...

Not only to f2p players but also to whales. with 50 per week (plus extra 50 every month) you honestly need to be really wise about how you use it, especially when it comes to weapons since its double the amount. Dont waste it on mediocre lithos of mediocre value, you might get a drop that worth 5k-10k lucent and you'll have to wait a week to sell it... Also, purification stone can be delayed since it's a more hardcore pvp "extra" that wont be of great use if you are undergeared, so focus on other things before spending the absurd amount of mats and gold needed.
Third and last, Gear Score doesn't really tell the whole truth about your actual value. It's a combination of gear level, traits, skills, and weapon mastery. So, if you leveled up wrong/bad skills, and if you transfer garbage traits, you will still get a decent number in gear score but your overall dps/tankiness etc isn't by definition worth this number. I was using trash traits on blue gear to feed blessings on tranfer and my gearscore was insanely high but it was full of resists and health regen, on a DPS char :D so, dont get fooled with fancy numbers.
anyway great video and straight to the point, keep up the good work mate
So to increase blessing on a gear we have to increase a trait on the gear?
If you use a dead roll to get blessings, is there a chance it goes through and replaces the good blessing?
Btw another tip, if you run out of gold, you can sell precious marind for 400k+
This daily/weekly stuff stress me a lot, thanks for the video lad! I am still trying to figure it out this game, for now my biggest struggle is how to farm/craft better gear, because I am running with greens and so far all blue/purple are like not for my build.
Awesome video brother! Keep it up 🙌🏻
What are we going to use the rare base material chest for? I don't think we can craft any blue item
@gizmo6606

what do you do with that item afterwards? it has 2 bad traits after all.
1. stack it with blessing and transfer onto another item?
2. or do you reroll the traits with unlockstones?
does it change depdending if the trash traits lvl up or not?
Fkn fire vid bruh actually hella informative in a really useful way
Okay but how do i get higher level contracts consistently?
The purification stone is 1 time use???
Its not consumable 2mins cool down
Great video mate 🎉
i'm already seeing it now, they made getting lucent so fking complicated that the average player after hitting lvl 50 will stop progressing as they do not have enough lucent to trait gears so they're gonna quit. The progression after lvl 50 is literally behind lucent and if you don't know how to make them you're cooked, it's insane bruh
No it’s not… you can farm the stuff yourself. You can grind lower level mobs for lower tier gear and feed it to your traits. Have you never played an mmo before? There is always the faster option of spending currency or farming yourself.
Havent spent a singular dime, and have 20k lucent. Hit 50 a week ago, not every mmo needs to hold your hand. Its insane you speak about something you clearly havent done; and act like you've done it.... bruh; you can get to 2500 without any traits; and legit smack people until t2 comes out if you choose your targets, again that means having a brain. But ggs and goodluck if you try to actually give it a chance!
Yap ahead:
Just giving a little notice as to why this system will break down rapidly long-term. The "just make lucent" strategy gets harder and harder as time goes on and as the market shifts towards newer and harder to aquire gear.
I joined an EA server about 2 weeks after public launch to play with friends who had been playing since EA. This means I missed the boat completely on the emerging market since these servers are a couple months deep into content, and current prices on 90% of gear are extremely low. Most of the stuff you get won't be worth the extraction/litho costs. The lucent income as a f2p player doing regular world bosses and daily content is extremely low, 95% of open world dungeon/coop dungeon gear is worthless, even the epics. The items that are valuable are world boss drops which are incredibly rare. The main income source now is either:
a) getting incredibly lucky with a world boss drop worth thousands of lucent
b) selling a few items here and there for 20-50 lucent, a handful worth 100+, and very slowly grow some wealth.
Nothing like the people who made "70k+ lucent completely f2p" because they were in the wild-west early markets selling blue gear for hundreds of lucent and epic lithographs of open-world dungeon weapons to whales for 1-5k lucent. The most expensive drop I've recieved after 3 weeks of playing, and not counting guild raid drops, was worth 400 lucent. I've recieved only 4 drops worth more than 200 lucent, and maybe around 8-10 drops worth more than 100.
In total I've made maybe around 2-3k lucent on the AH in the almost 2 weeks I've been trading on it, and the markets only going lower. Over half of all the money I've made has gone to fully traiting a single purple weapon, the only epic I am currently able to afford (and one of the cheapest pieces of epic gear for my build). I'm doing all my dailies rolling on as much gear as I can, and hoarding enchanted ink but have yet to recieve a single epic worth the material cost of a lithograph.
I'm having fun with friends, and my traited blue gear is good enough for now so I'm in for the grind, but people who are going to join 1 or 2 months from now are going to have it even worse than me, and the fresh start servers from launch will be where I currently am in a couple more weeks.
4:00 shift clicking will automaticly go to max limit
so you gotta have the actual item aswell before you can make the blank with all the resources into the actual weapons lithograph? i'm confused because if we open the chest we get the item is the item itself not sellable?
what happens if you reroll the abyss contract 99 times? does it ever recharge?
This is the best vídeo i watched so far
quick question is it worth seeking and grinding a blue gear set, I know I need to trait out but is it logical to grind for a blue set (mini version of your build) before working on purples? Btw 400 lucent for a blue trait is insane its crazy how the game is super inflated in the beginning wish was there to see it
Thank you for this video. I've seen people say it is better to lvl up purple gear to lvl 7(+30%) before transferring blue gear enchant into it to actually save stones... is it actually better?
I'll be laughing in 2 months when devs gonna power creep your "endgame" gears by adding legendaries, runes, more bosses and dungeons and few other things😂
Very informative, thanks for the tips. I saw somewhere that we should be prioritizing the red stones from daily contracts but you prefer the material select or the other stone. Do u think the red stones are a grief?
new player here, can i ask whats the connection between bind resistance trait and max health? cause i thought that you cant feed different traits.
He explained that... there is no correlation, hes just using bind res because its a cheap trait on his server, to max out the blessing gauge on the item, so when he DOES put a trait on the item that he wants, its immediately maxed out without having to pay for multiple extract charges on the AH.
@@brendanwheeler4147not if you change the trait you will start from 0
How do you have some many statistics points?
Some purple items give you extra stats.
@@Tasherith thank you mate!!!
@@gkousteris Anytime my friend! Enjoy the game 👍🏻
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for doing this man
I can’t put blue traits on purple weapons….how does that process work?
Do you have any tips to get scrolls fast for power lvl your spell ?:0
I wanna ask, if I cannot play on weekend because spend time with family and play like 2-3hours a day, do I lose lot of progress to catchup?
4:30 tip is incorrect cuz you need to spend a lot of mats to cratf scroll. Then you need to spend extra mats to craft you ring back
On my server theres not much point making lithos of anything! A lucid staff from island dropped 3x on the first day. Was tempted to make it into lithos to sell. Checking price in the morning was 1.5k then afternoon lowest listed was 900. Haha. So beware, the price on AH is listed price not RL purchased price. Make lithos at ur own risk
People selling stuff are braindead when it comes to profit. I’ve seen that multiple times from the world of warcraft expansion launches. They either bomb the prices out of fear they don’t sell, so everyone follows them on low prices. Or they found a profit margin so slim they nuke the price to push others out of the market. It’s so crazy seeing people using economics tactics to play a game, only to mAxImIZe PrOFits and play the AH game.
If you're a free player and you sell in the AH. 1. you are working voluntarily and you don't know it. You do the grind, slap it in the AH. Someone buys in game currency and buys it off you. The game gets cash, and you? 2. You're helping pay to win have a home in gaming.
How do i sell A purple ring? i know about extracting and lithographs but i see things on the auction without any of that.. Its so weird and confusing how do i do that?
When you craft the item you can get Lucky drop and get extra one you can sell
@@polishgarnek
Thank you, great help
Great advice. Thanks.
Extremely Good Advice. Good Video.
how do you gain enough growth stones to get several purples to 9? ive been grinding everyday but i only have enough to upgrade 1 or 2 purples to max for each section, weapon, armor, accesory. how could i get more? im doing all my contracts daily, dungeons, events, abyss.
when u get a purple u should level it to 7 then transfer your lvl 9 blue into it to save some growthstones and get the purple instantly to 9. I recommend getting contracts that give the ore for growthstones, and start farming open world dungeons where the rubrix, stalon, etc ore has a high drop rate. Remember to buy all the growthstones from the ornate shop as well
So if we feed the trait to a dead roll and it actually level up, do we restart the blessing again? or do you recommend we just feed the trait once or twice to the dead roll?
Watched so many videos, this is best one
Clear and concise. Subbed.
These are great, thank you!
So many types of currencies/tokens/conversions spread across so many UI, games nowadays really make things overly complicated. Good info from your vid though.
I’d rather have more currencies/tokens/conversions and more complications to figure out and mid max than playing a god awful game
@@Charlie-lx9mg only god awful games hide theire weakness behind 300 systems. Its just bullshit to make further more p2w.
@@Charlie-lx9mgI'd rather just have a good game.
Its to stimulate certain actions in the game without inflating the main currency
@@axylum4453 This is a good game
Thank you for good information!
Actual helpful video
It takes so much mats to make those blank lithographs though 😮💨
CANT figure put how to scrap stuff in my inventory on PS5..... Anyone got a link to a video explaining it?
for the abyss tokens would that bracelet not be better to buy than the weapon u showed since it costs like 500 lucent to make a weapon blank lithograph rather than 50 but also takes 50 ink rather than 25 making it less lucent per ink, and ink is the only gated resource as u cant farm it?
how do you feed cheap traits into your main item? My item doesnt have those cheap traits so the cheap trait extraction doesnt show up
its going to be awhile until they drop content, so this seems like cracked out gming. and we appreciate a druggie giving us the info lol

Hi, I figured this tip out but I was still not sure, if that trait (bind resistance in this case) stays at lv4 if I convert it to something else?
I would love to know too. Hopefully somebody knows
@@axylum4453 It doesn't I made the mistake of maxing a trait then converting it... It does get reset to level 1 after conversion
@@JW-ku4sy nooo 😭
@@JW-ku4sy so, its just more efficient to convert it into the least expensive trait out of your BIS traits then feed blues into that trait, almost got baited by this vid..
Thanks for sharing! ❤🙂
so clear and informative ty
Spending the lucent to litho a weapon to sell for negative profit is craaaaazy.
dont I want to use the abyss currency on things I want to wear? why sell the items?
Awesome video Gizmo
is there a video about ur current build ? :D great video btw
Is it good to put full trait 3/3 on a level 9 blue item before transfer it to a purple item ?
if you're f2p fully traited blues are better than purples, if you can afford to max trait a purple its usually a nerf to go from blue > purple
(in pvp anyhow)
but yes, you want maxed traits on your blue to feed blessing into your purple so you can 1 tap your trait upgrades on it.
The only thing I run out are the stones I need to extract the traits.
im level 50 crossbow & dagger but want to switch to longbow & staff, would you say to restart a new character from level 1 or switch and grind drops to get new armour/weapon stats
new char
very informative thank you!
Question, can a bad trait lvl4 be converted to a good one and it will keep all 4 lvls?
How are your stats so high
Thanks for the tips but another TH-camr say to get the colored stones in the contracts. May I know is it progression based? As in how far I’m in with my gears etc. do you change to your suggestions at a certain gear level when you don’t need colored stones? Cause I just broke 50 2 days ago and have been taking the colored stones all this time as with the parchment. Would like your thoughts about this. Thanks!
Once your armor is level 9, you have absolutely no use for colored stones (for armor) unless you’re leveling a different set entirely. Same for each of the stones.
However, polished crystals and material chests will forever be needed for lucent earning and other uses. I’ve also never had any issues with running out of colored stones, where I have when it comes to polished crystals. It seems the game gives you way more of the former.
@@gizmo6606 That makes sense, thank you again. Appreciate it!
Very helpfull, thanks!
Sorry i don't understand the lito part. I get that instead of choosing a low value item we must choose an high value one. But you are not taking into account the lito craft. For example in my server the most expensive thing (beside weapon that are 2x cost) is the necklace for 600+ lucents. Now i need a pair of legs that costs around 400 lucent. If i choose the necklace then i also need to craft a lito, that based on my server price, is 50 lucent for 5x stalon and i don't know how much is the lucent value for 25 ink, leather ecc. So, my profit is not 200 lucent, i honestly think there is no profit at all, cuz 200 lucent for a lito is too low. On the other hand i can just choose the legs and i'm good. I'm i doing some bad calculation or am i actually right?
The gear, weapon, and character upgrading system is horrendous. The game play is phenomenal, the story is phenomenal, and the combat is phenomenal. I really enjoy this game but, my only problem with this game is what I mentioned. The upgrade system needs a complete redo.
at 5:06 i do not understand what he ment with the traits.. can anyone elaborate?
if u have the same piece of gear but with different traits, you can "stamp" the trait from one onto the other. he's saying if you have 1400, and you buy that litho for 900, you can spend 500 lucent to buy a trait on the same item to stamp onto ur crafted litho
TL:DR : get good traits to sell and good items to sell as litograph. Basically get lucky.
Got 139h in play and never got any item or trait sellable at more than 200 lucent. Never got max hp on those 300+ lucent blue item. Never got a trait on purple worth selling more than 150 (1 out of 20 purple) etc..
Wish I had your luck. Also depending on servers, eco is very different. US servers have prices ranging from 2 to 10 times more vs EU servers. Price are all over the top.
Maybe more swipers in US? Would be nice to see a graph about that lol
while it can beneficial to take more expensive item from those boxes you should also make sure that the craftin that lithograph and selling it wont actually cost you more after you buy the item you want. In my server precious rubrix price is 40-50 lucent each so crafting that lithograph would cost you atleast 400 lucent + ink. At this point its almost better to just sell your rubrix instead of selling items.
It’s so dumb how the game has like x20 different currencies.
If you think this is bad try POE. It will make your head implode
@@abovethecutgaming7436 or GW2
It's way more than 20. It's to overcomplicate things so people make mistakes they fix by swiping.
It's not that bad go play wow they have more
Lucent, Guild, Sollant, Abyssal, Dimensional- Ornate coins (given) what are the 14 you talking about?
five hundred profit. You probably forgot that red crystals for crafting a lithograph cost 50 and you need 10 of them. That is, the profit is not 500-600 but 0-100. but you also spend 50 weekly enchanted to get 100 Lucent
true, those damn red crystal is expensive af
Or farm them for free dude
He probably forgot but it doesnt change the fact that u arent supposed to randomly take an item u need from the selection chest instead of checking prices of other items first to compare, like he did. The staff was only an example...
