Proposal for new loot system for solo arenas
Mesmerized1337

I guess I don't have to express any further how frustrating it can get, to farm for your desired loot in Maelstrom's Arena. Hence my proposal. You still get the random loot as we know it today, but additionally you get some kind of token, lets say 1 per run. One kind of token for normal, one kind of token for veteran. With these tokens, let's just say 10, you can buy your desired weapon from the Maelstrom Baron.
If you think this a good idea, or something you would fancy, I am thankful for your upvote.
Apologies if this is some kind of repost.
Cheers

✭✭✭✭✭I do not think this is a novel proposal. I just did a google search and found vMA token suggestions going back as far as 2016. My guess is that is the year this arena was added to the game.
I would suspect Zenimax might change their mind if someone came up with a good justification for making this happen outside of being tired of the grind. I suggest this because I have noticed gaining gear that drops in any instance is a grind as there are no tokens for such gear. I expect something could change their mind.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭The possibility of that being implemented is pretty slim, especially after we got transmutation and especially sticker book so you just need to lot a weapon once to have it always available for reconstruction.0 -

✭✭How about this, every one of these arenas with their mechanics based as much on luck as actual electronic clockwork, just gives you all the stuff you ever need right at the end of the first run. Come on, shove that in the crown store somewhere so we never have to do that poison round ever again.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭They gave us transmute stones to get the desired traits then they gave us the sticker book. If they are going to at some time give us tokens my guess is ten is going to be way under the number of tokens needed.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."0 -

✭This really isn’t necessary for several reasons.
1) The normal versions of the arenas are now very very easy to complete. Base game delve level easy. With imperfect weapons dropping and reconstruction available it’s now incredibly easy to get what you need.
2) The Perfected Weapons are to be challenge rewards. That’s across the board from Arenas to Trials. Your RNG may be terrible but that’s just your perception for the thing you’re after.
3) Arena Leaderboards are a thing. They’re not difficult to get on but they do reward a gold version of a random perfected weapon AND a gold arena set piece. That’s clutch. I remember when I got succession gold jewelry for my necro which felt amazing.
4) There are 2x drop events. PTS has already tested a Year One celebration where Orsinium, Imperial City, and Craglorn will all see 2x drops. At that point you will get everything you need. Guaranteed esp as a LOT of new players will be going for the Maelstrom Style Pages, esp the Maul.0 -

Indigogo✭✭✭✭✭Lmao. Yes normal Mael is easy enough but after 70+ runs, on various toons, and still not a single destro staff, it wears a little thin.0 -

I started clearing the normal version of melstrom with barely 300 CP. It is fairly easy. I suggest looking at some videos to help figure out the mechanics. I used https://alcasthq.com/ to help me through the arena. I am about to check out the vet version with about 500 CP. I figure it may be a little rocky but we will see.0 -
