Undaunted Key Vendor

Chalinal

Hello all,

I am sure many of you share the same frustration when it comes to the RNG component of the Undaunted key chests. I personally have been doing all pledges on two characters a day since the launch of One Tamriel in hopes of getting a Divines Grothdarr shoulder piece. I don't even care which armor type it is anymore; I would re-craft an armor piece and re-gold upgrade it again just to fit ANY type of Divines Grothdarr Shoulder piece in and still maintain mettle.

With that said, I would like to suggest an Undaunted Key Vendor be added to the game. I would happily re-grind say, 25 keys, to be able to purchase the shoulder piece that I specifically want (in this case Divines Grothdarr). People can still gamble their keys on the chests if they want, but for those that just want ONE of the hundreds of possible combinations between sets and traits that come from each chest- this would be a nice solution. You still have to put a lot of time in to get 25 keys, but at least you aren't wasting your time everyday only to get everything else that you don't want - Prosperous, Training, and Sturdy Grothdarr, I'm talking to you.

Please let me know if there are others out there that share a desire for this, let the Devs see that this would be a nice and fair addition to the game.


Note: I have been playing since launch day, I appreciate the grind to get what you want, not a new player that wants to be awarded everything immediately. I am also a college student with a full-time job that has limited game time, which I would like to spend doing things other than grinding veteran dungeons for all eternity - say, group trials and solo trials.

Maybe worth remembering you can buy pieces of the monster sets, just not on a timetable anyone can predict precisely.

I have a feeling issues like this is how they will make crafting more viable again.

You don't want the best items to be only crafted, but a way to recraft gear into something once you've researched enough traits or something.

Also not in divines.

this whole let's make everything easier for everyone in an already easy game is annoying.

And this leads you to think that ZOS would ever considering including divines in your hypothetical store? It'd be something like Infused or Reinforced, with no alternatives.

I'm pro token system, unfortunately ZoS isn't.

You can only buy monster pieces in Impenetrable (AP) and Infused (Gold). All the other traits such as the OP's coveted Divines piece can only be bestowed to you by RNGesus.

I support this idea. There are quite a few divines pieces I'm still searching for, as well as some sturdy shoulders for my tanks.

Honestly, if they actually implemented such a store, I half expect the only trait you could choose would be Prosperous.

You guys act like the game can't be played if you don't get the trait you're after right away. If this happens I hope it's way more than 25 keys. That's chump change as far as keys are concerned. If they ever give out the ability to select your exact gear and exact trait not only are they making a terrible choice but it needs to cost 100 keys minimum.

I can feel your pain. Took me 330 keys for my only Grothdarr in divines. They need to implement some kind of vendor/token system, but 25 keys might be not enough - I mean that's 4 days of dailies on one char. More like 50 or 75 keys. Mathematically 96 keys would make sense cause that's the number of different trait + set combinations are there.

Yeh, maybe 25 was lowballing it - 50, 75, 96, all sound great and fair to me.
