Increase amount of pristine shards tha we can turn in each week...

And 25 shards for a key is not cool ~____~


5 keys a week at 10 shards a piece is not enough. Can do that in a day. I have 3 characters above 150 so that is still only 15 keys a week unless I want to do 25 shards per key which is too much.

Perhaps if it was 15 shards I would consider that fair myself.

The rate should be tripled considering shard drop rates.

Re: Increase amount of pristine shards tha we can turn in each week...

So the first half is from the basis that shards are easy/fast to get.

The second is about how hard they are to get/low drop rate.

Interesting.

Re: Increase amount of pristine shards tha we can turn in each week...

My general arguement also includes the fact that the chance of a "valued" item is low, considering chests give a higher chance of a "valued" item over mobs. I want to increase those chances ^____^

Re: Increase amount of pristine shards tha we can turn in each week...

I don't actually hunt for Pristine's so I'm not sure how inline the turn in rate is with the rate normal hunters gather them. Upping the turn in rate too much would encourage more macroing of DI, Moarsman City, and Freebooter.

While we're talking about the Pristine turn in... I don't get why two NPCs are needed. Why can't the original NPC just switch over to requiring more after the first quota is filled? Other than it was easier just to add a second NPC.

Well it encourage more hunting there as well , perhaps up the rates on Freebooter and Moarsman city perhaps GY as well and leave it like it is on DI.

Darnit Jak, can you stop acting like a nooby for like 10 minutes? Go do some of the bajillion other MFK quests there are now. Or Bael Forbid! You might go see rand the hunter.

Use your mules. The shards and keys are both giveable.
