Jordan 159 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I know this is probably going to get a lot of hate because it makes upgrading items harder however i think the way people are gaining gems to upgrade their top tier items is kind of wrong? The point of the chest i assume is to be an item sink and a hard/grindy challange to obtain the gems to upgrade items.. So as most people know that training zone sells whips, these whips can be made into gems/t2 whips very very fast (someone said you can get 20 whips an hour, thats insane?!) So im suggesting that a new whip to be made so it cant be put into the chest (starter whip or something?) or even changed into the coloured whips that cant be upgraded. ALSO, ironmen cant even use the training zone, so it makes ironmen at a big disadvantage once more.. Thanks GAMERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpamzee 86 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 earning the gems should not be that easy there could be an other way to earn the gems too, like rare drops from bosses or daily tasks like chop 100 logs or kill 50 bosses and such, this would make it more fun to earn gems. but support on the change 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4mes2895 12 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I definitely think that gems should be tied to bossing somehow. I'm not expecting anything amazing; but it would be perfect. Also a 'training whip' could definitely be implemented into the training zone and that could be excluded from the upgrade chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilSkag 75 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I support this and I don't at the same time because it doesn't solve the inherent problem with natural farming incentives. Whips aren't the most efficient thing to use training points on, dragon boots are. Therefore, unless we're going to change all the items in the training shop, that can be used on the upgrade chest, I don't see a point. If anything, upgrades for higher tier gear should be more expensive, but also give more gems for failures (gear upgrades are a 1:4 ratio for gem output). Right now the most efficient farming method for gems is lower tier gear because they give a disproportionate amount of gems compared to higher tier gear. Dragon boots give 1 gem primal weapons give 15 gems Do you think it takes 15x more effort to get a primal than it does to get dragon boots? or are dragon boots 15x less valuable than primal weapons? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
