Malprave✭✭✭✭✭Entitlement knows no bounds apparently. I can’t believe the amount of complaints about there not being enough freebies in the game or various achievements being too difficult. I don’t know how I made it this far from beta. I don’t remember any daily rewards, leveling rewards, or any rewards other than the ones you got for beating some boss. As a matter of fact I remember sitting at V16 for a year with no progression possible. How’s that for a reward ? No freebies of any kind and to add insult to injury you could get your ass handed to you by a cheesy quest boss like Doshia.1

Not telling you to sell it cheaper, but farming should yield a much higher return for the time invested. If the game expects me to spend 15-20% of my time grinding for mats/loot to be able to make or afford a staple such as crafted potions it's not worth having them. I'm not going to spend 2 of the 10 hours a week I play running in circles doing repetitive tasks, I already do that 40 hours a week at work.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Essence of spell power on PC-EU has gone up from 150g a pop to over 200g a pop. This might be caused by multiple things:
1: We have a syndicate that loves too raise prices on said products
2: Stamina being exluded from mini-trials
3: There has been a couple or more bot whipes recently.
4: People continues to buy them at an inflated price, so sellers keep selling for inflated price.
Best way to deal with this is:
Farm telvar
Farm ap for ap potions
Farm your own mats
Farm something to sell to buy mats from stam players.
Find a stam player and trade mats
Anything! Except buying them at an inflated price.
Why would anyone buy potions and then complain about the price?
It takes like 30 minutes to power level your potion making skill line to 50. Then you can just buy the materials and craft your own potions.
50 materials will yield 200 potions. If someone can't be *** to take 30 minutes to level up their potion making, then they have no right to complain about the price of potions.Edited by MLGProPlayer on April 2, 2019 8:41AM1 -

People still expect it to be pick and play though. Probably trailing after games that are adventure/action RPG more that actual pure RPG. Think Zelda games... They are pretty straight forward, even BotW, you press play and go kill stuff, very little grinding, but it's still a RPG, undoubtedly so.

Tldr, 2h of farming is too much for you, don't need all that much to make enough.
Also, farming mats, at least on PC NA, yields the best coin/minute from any form of gold making, except for daily writs.
It takes the right gear and knowing your node route, but you can make, again on PC NA, veeery very easily 1k/minute. If you're good and experienced, you can get closer to 1.2-1.3k/minute, and that's on regular zones. If you go crag, you can average 100k per hour, and this isn't any sort of exaggeration, I promise you.
The easiest thing to do in this game is becoming rich, not kidding.
You can also try RNG with urns in delves and dungeons. Some places will actually yield you close to mat farming cash, but it's a case of big jackpot items every once in a while that you still for 200-300k, and this covers for all the hours you didn't get poop beyond lockpicks.
So yeah... Pots are fine as they are. Should be more expensive, in fact.

But the final equation is unmistakable - the power of chugging potions comes with a price.
Those well supported by allies can afford it - a big guild might have people who farm materials and make all the potions their mastergankers might ever want. And in return, those masterclass players may have to carry the farmers through some content now and then, withouzt complaining about their lack of skillz like in a PUG.
That is the price -they- pay for being supported in a guild.
The others... have to shell out gold (or crowns) to feed their potion habit... or go and make them on their own, spending loads of time farming materials and turning those into nifty potions!
And the only way the price will change is if there are more people making potions, thus starting a supply war to fulfill the demand... so, be nice to all those noobs who fail at the fighting, who annoy you in battlegrounds and dungeon runs when on your side for not being super-effective, and maybe suggest to them that they could make good gold by farming potion materials and using that alchemy... 1 -

Something like jewellery materials everyone loses their *** and asks zos to increase the drop rate relative to demand, but balancing out types of alchemy materials so that all players can afford to play the new content that zos themselves created to be prohibitive to other styles of play is violating the supply/demand nature of the game...

No that is what you are trying to say I am saying. I clearly stated what I meant. Let supply and demand work. It is basic economics and you seem to want none of that and prefer to trivialize others time in gathing and farming just for the convienence of cheaper resources to your playstyle. Others playstyles are actually playing the market but you seem willing to ruin that for them for your personal gain.2 -

Lacking reading comprehension on your part.
OP says "this needs to be cheaper", people whine "but... I work hard for it, why should I have to sell it cheaper", someone says "Relax, noone told you to sell it cheaper", which may be -technically- true, but logically complete bollocks, and then gets defensive when someone pints that out?
If the demand is "potions need to be cheaper", then the only possible solution is for people to sell potions cheaper, one way or the other.
I mea, sure, you could have NPCs sell potions cheaper then the player made ones, but that would mean the player potionmakers would not sell their stuff anymore because everyone bought theirs from the NPCs.
So even tho I do not sell potions, I can quite easily underastand why those who might feel defensive.
Since in effect, that is exactly what the OP asked for.
Uhm... yeah, I suppose that IS what I said, huh?Good potions aren't free and prices drop as supply increases. Much wow.
Darn, I sometimes really seem to write an essay to make a simple point I guess... mea culpa.
Fact remains. If people go to the effort, they will want to see decent returns, no matter if someone goes like "I want to use more potions then I can afford, so gimme 'more affordable' potions to chug!"0 -

Don't imagine you go through 800 pots an hour in trials - It's not a lot to do.
You missed the point. It's not that I have an issue farming the materials, and I'm not asking for a free hand out. I currently have over 8k cornflower waiting to be made into pots and currently have over a mill of tel var in the bank waiting. The issue is that it costs 18.5k - 20k per stack of weapon pots, 30k - 35k per stack of tri pots, and 35k -50k for spell power pots. Likewise, the drop rate of associated materials are indicative of those prices from satchels.
I simply don't believe that it should cost more (in crowns, gold or time) to "play how you want" relative to the other ways to play the game. If it's an item or supply that offers something "extra" like gold food that is equal among all play styles, I think that's fine. I also think its fine to have a small difference in price. But it doesn't cost me more to buy soul gems as a tank than it does as a healer. And a 30k coin difference PER STACK between being a stamina and a magicka DPS is ludicrous and I think indicative of other balancing issues in the game.0 -

✭I use clockwork food all the time, immovable pots in PVP and Spell Power in PVE for everything pretty much.
Never had to buy a flower or pot from anywhere. I pick everything up, when I level an alt it’s always overland and I pick everything up, I do writs on 15 alts and get surveys and do some IC to get any additional mats I might need.
Basically play the game and be self sufficient. One of the main features of this over other MMOs is that you can literally do everything for yourself if you put the time in.0 -

So for a 2 hour training run, an average trial player will use 100 pots and this is equal to around 25 corn flowers. So it means I should farm for one hour so that I can do a trial for 2 hours.
It's mostly a battle between material farmers vs potion usersEdited by bharathitman on April 2, 2019 5:59PM0
