Idea Enchanting: Aspect Runes Rarity From Level/Passive

Avrael

Ok, im sure every crafter knows this scenario. Im sitting on thousands of Ta, Jejota and Denata, the white, green and blue rarity of the round aspect runes, that absolutley noone uses or has used ever.
My idea would be, only getting Rekuta and Kuta from looting runestones in the world, if you have Enchantinglevel 50, and/or skill a passive that gives you this ability or something. And i dont want to make Kutas less rare or drop the price or something, let them be as rare as they are atm. But at least give us Rekutas IF an aspect rune drops from a runestone, and if we use a skillpoint for a passive like this.
We just cant use the first 3 aspect runes, for absolutley nothing. Even throwing them away isnt worth the effort.

My daily enchanting crafting writs call for Ta runes. There's 14 a day right there for masochists who do writs on all their characters every day.

The greens and blues come in handy for helping alts or other players level their own enchanting skill.

I also use blue when crafting training gear for other players unless they ask for purple quality stuff.

So they're not totally worthless.

I'd be quite happy to never get another Ta from looting a Runestone again. It would be okay to just get nothing rather than more Ta. I'm sitting on several thousand as it is. I do daily writs on 2 toons almost every day. So if I only averaged to recover 1 Ta a day through deconstruction, Wet Gunny Sacks or Hirelings, it would still take me 10 years to use up what I already have!

1. They could change that to rekutas too imo... then there would be not too many of those either and theyd keep their worth.
2. If you want to help others leveling, you also use rekutas, they give a LOT more exp then the other 3 runes.
3. I would use rekutas for that TOO, but maybe thats just because i have enough of those already too for my lifetime...

And i didnt say you couldnt get any of the other 3 runes anymore, youd get enough from deconstructing glyphs i would guess. At least enough Ta... or from sources like other containers and stealing and from daily writs and whatever.

I've left /feedback a few times about starting a "rune exchange" system. Mages' guild npc can exchange X number runes for a higher level. Like:

50 Ta for 1 Green/Denota
75 Ta for 1 Blue Jejota
and so on. More Ta for purple and gold. And you could do the same with the green and blues, of course. I have never had a request from a player to make a glyph for them using anything lower than rekuta. I have more than a few thousand Ta runes; yes I do writs, and they are useful for that. Doing the number of writs that I usually do my supply of Ta runes will last me until I retire from RL work and have more time to play. [hint; I am about 20 years off retiring] If it wasn't for the crafting bag I'd be npc vendoring lots of Ta, Denota, and Jejota runes, or destroying them.

Avrael

Well, thats a much better idea then mine. And i requested something like that in the game Trove, wich got even implemented, im amazed i didnt think of that here. Ye ignore my idea, yours is way more realistic.

I'd be ok with them simply requiring you to upgrade glyph quality 1 tier at a time.
Ta x10 > Jejota x5 > Denata x3 > Rekuta x2 > Kuta x1

Avrael

Maybe more then 10 ta for one kuta, but yes, this idea is very good.

You misunderstand my intention. When you create a glyph, you start at normal quality and it costs x10 Ta plus the other required runes, then to upgrade to green you must spend an aditional x5 Jejota, x3 Denata...

Avrael

To upgrade to green you would need white and blue youre saying? That makes not much sense to me. o-o'

No, just a system that is more similar to crafting armor and weapons. x10 Ta to create a normal quality glyph. To upgrade that glyph to green you must use x5 Jejota. To upgrade the green glyph to blue x3 Denata. Blue to purple x2 Rekuta. Purple to gold x1 Kuta.

Edited for clarity.

Whites I use for Writs, and sell.
Green no use now but I used to use for leveling gear
Blue I use for alts / strangers I help / leveling gear

Personally.I think rune harvests should.go back to how they were before with the three split was way more interesting seeing am Aspect rune and hoping for the Kuta. I don't bother getting most I re now

Youre talking about glyphs. That why i was really confused.
So you mean you would need 5 green RUNES to upgrade one white GLYPH to green?
But using 10 Ta to go to normal is redundant, as you said, you would start at normal/white. No need for using something to get to white.

Edited that post, I did say glyph in the other posts though

Since Ta runes are already around, mine as well use them to create normal quality glyphs.

Oh, yes you did... well my bad then, cant read right. ='D

Ok yes, for crafting the normal ones you would ofc need Ta.

The numbers I threw out were pulled from thin air. The amounts would depend on the devs, of course. With the number of Ta I find, it probably wouldn't be hard to do "number of full stacks" instead of single runes. :sigh:

Now if I could only come up with different uses for alkahest.................
