Morph Runestone in mall

[Shinon12345]

We have a very large amount of players, with each player obviously trying to improve.
We also have a very large amount of Lv 65 Sealed Equipments in the server, waiting to be unsealed.
The demand on Kal Runestone is huge. There's 5 Chests in DW1 that drop Kal Runestone, each with 3,33% (6,66% with CB) chance of dropping Kal Runestone every 3 hours and the Snowman Warlord, that has 7% (14% with CB) as well.

I've seen many DW's not dropping any kal at all, and so it might sometimes take up to a whole week to finish a set of 5 Kal Runestones to unseal one piece of equipment for a player.
Many people are frustrated by this, since I believe the demand on this item is too big, and the availability for many players is just not given, since the guilds don't sell these at all. The use for Kals is just too big. You unseal 65 pieces, you get Lv70 frames, and you can even get dices/powers for unsealing a Black Dragon Altar.
In official ToP they added the "Morph Runestone" into the Item Mall back then. It's an item, that you can buy (only in mall) to unseal any piece of Lv65 sealed. Of course this wasn't and shouldn't be cheap, as Lv65 weapons are the strongest weapons in the game as of now. However, this would be a way of fighting this huge demand of Kal runestones and would make Lv65 equip more accessible for many people, as everyone can save up gold to buy Rum and buy a Morph Runestone of another person.

As stated, the price shouldn't be too low. I'd suggest around 399-499 each Runestone.

That'll set the price limit of the very fought for item to 100 rum worth at most, I think a Kal should be worth a lot more than that given how rare it is on a 1x drop server, and consequentally, a Morph should be worth more

This Morph will be replacing the Kal Runestone so if it does replace a valuable item such as this, it should be 800-1000 rum at the very least.

I would like this item to be in the Item Mall since new players are finding a hard time catching up, but everything should come at its price. Cheaper over time, but expensive at the beginning.

The server is barely a month old and we're already talking about Morphs, that's odd, we just play too much I guess..

Just my cents.

Morph will be replacing the Kal Runestone

Morph will replace a Kal at unsealing 65 Sealed eq.
It won't replace the other qualities a kal bring though (Powers, Dice, Frames)

Back in ToP these things had to be figured out by people.
Nowadays we just know all the secrets this game has, 1 month in this server is probably 2 years back when ToP was new.

 

[Shinon12345]

I think it will make kal better even, it will relieve the item from being used for unsealing 65 eq.
If you think about it, usnealing 65 eq with kals is the worst option to use kals for actually when you could've done better things with it.
Adding morph runestone will give kal a stronger identity of what it should be used for, while giving other players chance of unsealing their weapons.
The price, 2,5m, that you said a kal would be worth, is not exactly right, since people don't sell kals. Kal is priceless, nobody is willing to sell it and it will still be fought for since there's gonna be enough people hitting lv70 eventually and they need framestones.

500 rum is reasonable price so it's accessible for non mallers that grind hard.

 

[Shinon12345]

around price of Unique Gem, not too hard but not too easy either.

 

[Shinon12345]

If you think about it, a Crusader would need 1000 Rum just to unseal both his weapons.
25m for that if he is a non-maller.

 

[Zankza]

around price of Unique Gem,

Honestly when you said "399-499" I agreed immediately but then when you said "price of a UG" that completely changed my mind. 499 is even too cheap.

Unseals 65 is LITERALLY END-GAME equips. Just 50$ for a lifetime equipment? I'm not feeling very confidence here anymore.

You're inflating Frames then, a crusader should use 15 Kals for their gear, not 5, that's just a huge difference in cost necessary, even if the Morph is 80 bucks, if you're a crusader you'll likely farm that gold or just straight out buy it instead of farming the kals, either way if you're not part of a guild you're never getting those 15 Kals in a timely manner.

You'll speed up the process of people catching up I agree, and it's necessary to add this item, but I still think that it's a bit early.

It's all about the price point anyways, you will inflate the value of a framestone, and limit the price of kals to a degree, for the sake of getting players to be able to get stronger, faster, it's an obvious choice there.

500 is a drop in the ocean for a maller & any non maller can just farm alts for money or whatever they want to farm money on and have their 65 runes ready.

Yes, you still need the sealed..but as it is, no1 is selling the good ones yet, eventually people will ( Abyssal ).

I think 800-1000 rum + the sealed cost is fair for something you will not be changing for many months to come..

Decrease the price by 100 rum per month of server age as well as that gear becomes less relevant..

The thing is, you also have to get the sealed equipment as well. couple millions go for that as well, then the unsealing fee of 800k makes it all a bit more expensive.
Also, those are mostly only the weapons, since you will need kals for Framestones on certain classes.
A Crusader will need 2 of these Stones to unseal both his swords.

And also, Right now you need to farm 5 kals for "Endgame Equipment". Which is not that much as well, just the numbers of kals we need is the problem.

This idea is mostly for those, who can'T farm kals. It will help those who are behind and not in the strongest DW guilds.
Those people still have to pay many rums for Sealed BoE from Abyssal or a guild that sells it. It's far from easy, but it makes it possible and gives people a way of using gold to get further, since kals aren'T sold and u cant ever get them really.

 

[Shinon12345]

Things that could be done:
A maximum amount of sold Morph runes per month (maybe 5).
This will reduce inflation of 65 equip, while giving some people a good chance of obtaining unseals,

We could increase unsealing Fee (800k) to maybe 2m so that will make things more pricy

That's what new players must think when they try to catch up to stronger players

 

[DefinetlyNotJap]

Unseals 65 is LITERALLY END-GAME

Black Dragon Equipment are end game EQ, or lvl 70 framestones.
OR lvl 75 armor for voys.

Hope the feeling that its getting hard for noobs to catch up now starts to set in

^ Seconded

this will truly make server p2w. its a hard server, if zankza says 65 unseal are endgame eq and your moaning kals are 6% drop rate and they arent dropping enough and then add morph in mall for $$, then whats the point? fck it, add ugs in there too. watch server die. what a waste this would of been.

Well I just hear people complaining that there is no way to unseal their equipment for many due to the lack of Kals in the game.
Maybe we can add Morph Runestone in another way than mall as well.

Could also make events that are accessible for everyone and reward the winner/s with a morph.
Other option would be award Center and you can buy Morph from there for a very high price that will take alot of time and work.

As I said, there could be only a limited quantity of Morph Runestones in the mall each month, even if it means there's only 2 of them.
I'm open minded for any kind of idea, but I do believe that there needs to be a more accessible way for people to unseal their equipment.

bru remember, this is vanilla, people already have 2x boes unsealed and much more, stop bitching about a 6% drop when there is 5 chests and 1 guild (prolly yours) monopolizes all of them, cmon. I remember in fox people were farming AA b1 boss for 0,01% of a lvl 95 sword. And u crying over 6%? cmon...

 

[ImCris]

morph auction, maybe only 4 per month?

You don't seem to understand.
I'm not doing this for my own sake, I could care less what other people can get or can't get.
I own dual BoE's and more. This is not about me or anyone in Abyssal.

My main focus here is those, who do not have this yet, and I find it kinda hard to obtain kals if you're not Abyssal, which is the guild I'm currently in, yes.
For me 6% for kals is totally fine, we get enough of those. The people who are not in our guild struggle to obtain kals, mainly because many times my guild attends to DW and kills chests. For the occasions when there are free chests for people, the chances are very slim to actually obtain a kal runestone and that kinda gets depressing I believe, having such few chances to chest, and when you can finally kill one, you get nothing.

So this is aimed to create new ways of obtaining 65 unseal equipment for those who have no chance/slim chance of getting them at this moment.
Of course I understand that implementing Morph Runestone into the mall would maybe inflate 65 unseals, which is why I think there should be some kind of limit, be it a quantity limit per month or some other way of obtaining this item such as events.

However, I do believe there needs to be something done. Something that makes it more accessible, but not too much as it would become worthless too quickly.
This is why I opened this thread, to hear opinions, arguments, ideas and discuss these. This is not about anything that concerns monopolizing mazes, it's the opposite, it's about how it can be prevented/Stopped.

Thank you.
