Why do people insist that new gear is always the answer? Ive spent over 235kec on my seeker and sin combined thus far, and I'm still trying for worthwhile stats on my sin. Just farm, and reshape. I play a few hours a day 3-4 days a week. It's not difficult to farm ec. Everyone who wants good gear with decent stats does the same thing. Deal with it, and keep it pushing. The only piece of Dragon gear i feel should be upgradable should be the helm. Since we already have ascended dragon cape, we should have the option to upgrade the helm as well. Other than that, just do what the rest of do, and farm/reshape/repeat.

I just met you, but yes I'm crazy, I'll trace your number, and kill you maybe!
You just met me, but I know you're crazy, so lose my number, and keep the baby!

Making a suggestion for other players who can't post it lol.

My son is the direct result of the one and only time (pre pregnancy) my xwife and I DIDNT use birth control. My fiancee's pregnancy is the direct result of the ONE time the condom broke. I dont think I can, in ANY WAY, say I have godly luck. Though at least my poor luck has blessed me with an absolutely AMAZING son, and one child on the way. So all in all it's a mixed blessing.

Well grats to you, and yeah the luck gods aren't on your side, but it's okay, I don't have godly luck either.

Just get r8 if you want random stats.  :normal-18:

Waste

Farm again? No suck me up.

Meh. I'd say if there was new gear added, which was in the middle of dragon and r8, it would be also priced likewise. I doubt dragon gear would get cheaper. They'd probably increase r8 gear prices (maybe with mats required).

Also, wouldn't it be like having basically the same stats as r8? Except the fact that you've got cheaper gear which has a greater (probably better chance of getting better stats than r8) chance of getting good stats. I don't know if it would mess up gameplay somehow. I guess you'd have to be more specific on what gear stats could be + set bonuses, etc.

Thing is even the set bonuses have to be worse than r8r.  Considering that it's a gear based on luck, giving the set worse bonuses than r8r is just gonna be a waste of ec, and it'll be better to just to go the whole hog anyways.

And folks are already complaining about balance, so...yeah.

Was simply giving evidence that not everyone has good enough luck to get random chance to smile on them.

Yeah, my point being (or leading up to rather) that it's more trouble than it's worth. Well, yes it is based on luck, but even then I would guess the mats to reshape the gear would be cheaper.
