20k stockings is just 1k (more or less) rolls in ring. more like 10k ST if you supply tokens. 100 alts, i wonder how many hours to complete it but let's say 8-12 hours. isn't 8-12 hrs worthy to be rewarded of 1k rolls on engraving rings? (1k rolls on ring, 20k Stockings to belt or neck is like 300 rolls). as if all people would make 100 alts (need to gear, do master of balance, insert stats, genie, skills and etc).
If people want to do it on 100 alts let them, i don't consider the reward significant like halloweens was for concerns of abuse imo. It takes time to even do it on every char lol.
With the new engrave probabilities, 4atk/4def ring can be obtained in 3850 rerolls on average. If you had 1k rerolls per day, you would get a 4def/4atk ring each 4 days. That's not something that we want, or that would be good for the server in the long run. 10k ST might not seem like a huge amount, but if you obtained it daily, it would overflow the server with high stat rings.It's not the issue of whether people want to do it, the fact that it's possible and that a few people might do it is enough to ruin the economic balance in the long run.
what i see here is. the people who disagree with this are the people who have no patience/time or interest to do it in altleast 10+ alts (maybe).those who agree are people who do it in 10+ and people who wants to buy stockings in cheaper price and don't want to buy it higher (well demand>supply now so prices will really go up).Pros:No overfarmingLimited stockPvp might be alive cause farming hours is shortened.genie price will go up againengraved ornas price will go up againCons:Prices go up = pvp players won't afford it to upgrade whatever they want this in this xmas season.Some people only do pve, taking this away from them is a big blow.Some pvpers killing time by doing the quest to prepare for the said "Winter PvP" so they need to gear up (maybe).Some pvpers do it so they won't farm the whole year for supplies (gold,pots,sods,luxury ornas etc.)well it's choose your poison. but for me don't fix what's not broken.but still +1 as if i have other choice to do anything besides pve anyways.
yes i understand the economic side. but what's the point of increasing the engraving chances if the resources needed for it will be limited?.
AGREED WITH GM DON'T RUIN ORNAMENT PRICE + IT IS VERY EASY TO GET 3K+ STS FROM NW
I do however agree that the quests cooldown should reset at server reset, which is what I will apply in a few minutes. To add on, the snow monster invasion will now be scheduled each 8 hours (05:30, 13:30, 21:30) with occasional manual activation by GMs.
please let me farm with my 80 alts
