Wild Idea? Gem Choices?

[HostileNub]

That's quite a valid point. Lv3 Broken + Cracked is as good as lv3 UG, but should be the more economical option, which is worse in the long run (more refs, pliers, forging costs...)

i think its very economical , forging lvl 3 rages on swords at the current market rate would cost 160m (inclusive of refs)* , while assuming cracked rages cost around 2m* , and broken around 1m* with refs to reach lvl 3 would cost around 30-35m *( even with inflated prices it would cost around 50-60m). Pliers are 15 rums in item mall i doubt it would be inexpensive to remove these gems and also make a return on investment.

*Note all prices are indicative.

Im against this, this way my already forged spirit gem will be useless.. i spend a lot for it..
If i had know, i shouldve forged broken and crack only.. and it will be the same reason why i quit old top

Well you can resell it. Plus gems of soul are really rare... we need other alternatives

3 sockets would mainly improve crusaders (being able to forge eye-lust-rage is retardedly overpowered), few classes like SS or champ would feel the diff too, but Magics would just be able to add a furious or shadow gem to their weapons... for glow. I am against this.

New Gem for magic classes that increase max sp similar to a shining but not +100. no? okie idk.

@Zankza Crack And Broken gems will be really great. Really nice idea +1

 

[kiwituatara]

• Will we see an increase in supply to counterbalance the increase in demand for refining gems if this is implemented?
• Also what will happen to furious/fiery/explosive/shadow gems?
• I also agree that sockets shouldn't be increased to 3.
• Don't include chipped gems please.

I still think broken and cracked shouldnt be forged together. I dont think anybody here support my opinion, maybe because it's for personal reason: i already wasted money on my noob spr gem.

Well... either way, one gem will become obsolete if we think about the ones that give spr. Either we can gem broken and cracked together, and spr gems become obsolete, or we can't gem broken and cracked together and broken gem will become obsolete. Unless we add the third socket right now... Which most people desaprove of.

Idk guys...

All this can easily be solved once divinity and aurora blade apparels appear in game

Going back to the furious/fiery/explosive/shadow gems.

If the new gems are introduced and the dust settles and prices are stable for these new gems. Can we maybe get an NPC that exchanges a number of the "bad" gems for the imperfect unique gems at a fair rate?

Actually, this exchange idea will be very handy for people stacking so many shit gems, dropping in mazes, however, the amouth of gems needed for that exchange would have to be high!

Nothing wrong with chipped gems, the ones that not want probably already have some ugs and are afraid that a guy with chippeds gets closer of their stats and makes competition more balanced

That's for sure. what I saw here was lots of "monopolized" players afraid of losing their monarchy.

It is more of a stats/price kind of deal. I don't know how rare chipped gems would be and how the market would price it. But if gemming out, for example, Lv3 chipped gem (+12) is cheaper/same price/tiny bit more than Lv2 UG (+10) then we have a problem.

If chipped gems are indeed introduced. Please take stats/price into consideration to balance out its rarity.

EDIT: I take back what I said. I think the market will probably balance itself out.

Absolutely.

I think introducing chipped gems is fine. At lv 5 gem ur looking at a whole nother UG in difference which is a significant difference so those that have pure UGs will still have the advantage. I agree with the fact that market will balance itself. Brokens will be cheapish, Crackeds moderate, Chippeds uppermiddle, and UGs will be the high end. I see nothing wrong with this.

 

[MZarur]

Something that still gets my attention is: How to get those gems? FC, DS and DW?

Zankza said it would be spread out, multiple ways of obtaining it, it won't be contained to a single maze. I think he mentioned the jackpot NPC as one possibility.

 

[Dakiller]

I think that chipped shouldn't be added, only cracked and broken.

 

[Pirates05]

the solution to the bogus retarded prices of Ug's HAHAHA!

 

[Airellez]

Magic users will be the ones to take the most advantage from this and I think that's fine.
