Cracked gems, worth it?

[rockchamp19]

I screwed myself over by gemming a cracked gem many moons ago when I was still a regular. Soon after I realized that getting cracked rage with anything but malling was impossible since no one is selling it. Now that brings cracked rage price to 6.5m while UG is 15 ish m , that means that 3 cracked rages cost over 18m which makes 6 str more costly than 5 str, then at lv 3 cracked rage is 26m while a lv 2 Rage is 30m but the str bonus is 10 instead of 9 from cracked rage.

No matter how I wrap my head around it cracked rage is not worth it at current malling price. Maybe if it was lowered by a bit it could be but it really isnt as of now.

Indeed. But what price would be OK for Mall?

Can you fuse both unique and cracked on socket 1 and 2 of the same sword? Or you have to chose and go then with regular or bd gems?

And broken?

 

[Developer]

No. they are Mutually exlusive

I see, thanks!

I don't think mall price is the main issue. If there was an in game way of getting cracked gems besides the current one like having them drop by DS maze bosses their prices would drop and the game would be more balanced. I guess if malling price would go down it would depend on in game cost of rum so something around 5m would be decent. 100 rum would be a good round number at approximately 4.5m

By the way and this is completely offtopic: What is the polygon count of top characters and weapons and how many bones do characters have?

89 rum for crack can be fair at this stage. Maybe just add them in mall event more often with this price

Hey devs! What are the odds of you changing the crack rage price? I have to know if I should piller mine or wait for you to lower the price and buy two of them to have a lv 2 crack rage. As of now it makes more sense for me to piller it and gem UG.

I know they are mutually exclusive but Where is this written??

I just realized something. Crack gems are totally worth it on the new server which won't have any UG's early on.

Is there any chance you will ever allow us to forge both gems into one item? It would make crack gems worth using again.

No. But we will allow Upgrading low tier gems.

Well that's not very cute. It renders crack gems pretty useless. Pardon my intrusion but don't you want crack gems to be worth it so the people will be malling them? It seems like a good business idea for me. I am curious about the reasoning behind not doing that. Again, I apologize for meddling in your affairs.

 

[Developer]

I'm sorry. But we do not concentrate here on milking player pockets. Rather, we try our best to provide players the game they love to play.

Back to the topic i think 99 rums is good price.

 

[rockchamp19]

Upgraded to lv 2 cracked rage, not due to practical reasons but because I am mostly going for the glow. To say it plainly I should have pillered it but because I can't find or afford lv 2 UG I went ahead and gemmed anyways. I think a part of the game is having fun and I have waited way too long to reach my desirable glow.

+6 glow is really nice too

@Developer Any updates on this matter?

Still at the very top of the Tasks list.
Unfortunately, management + development takes a very long time todo. So one per itteration.
