Farming the Maelstrom Arena Stickerbook takes WAY too long

    I agree.

    Simplest solution is to make the sets, but not the weapons, tradeable. If you aren't going to increase the drop rate somehow, and you can't really spread them out like they did with the Craglorn trial sets, making them tradeable/saleable is the next best option.

    This would be the Six 5 piece sets only.

    I'm not asking for the weapon sets to be tradeable. Those should remain the draw for the content, and require at least 14 trips to get them all, making for plenty of repeated runs. That's not counting running for best trait and such either.

    I love this idea!!!

    I need the maelstrom fire Staff for almost all of my builds, yeah I have the non perfected but I'm a perfectionist, and really hate doing MA... I am good without it I guess, double barring whorl isn't the end of the ...whorl-d

    For a backbar weapon, that extra little bonus on the perfected version makes basically no difference, so you should be good if you really don't want to run it anymore.

    But really, just clearing MA 13 times on Vet is a perfectly reasonable amount of work to get all the perfected weapons. My main point is that you shouldn't have to clear it 75 more times to get the rest of the trash gear collected. Vateshran works way better. You will pretty much have all of the other random gear collected by the time you finish unlocking all the perfected gear there.

    +1 from me to make the 5p sets tradeable, like the DSA ones.

    vMA remains a pain point for me after what happened with the perfected weapons; having to run it over and over again just to complete the stickerbook - I bit the bullet and run it again to collect the 2p set weapons that I should in all fairness already have collected - just makes it like rubbing salt in the wound.

    I'm happy to pay astronomical prices for the 5p set weapons I am missing if it means I have never have to set foot in that place again.

    At this point, I really only do the arenas when there is a double-drop event or to help out a guildie.

    Same. That's what really gets me about Maelstrom. For some reason they seem to have stopped doing double drop events for it.
