I'm seeing that the game is becaming full of epics and it was as refused by many players to create epic frags because players didn't wanted to break them to compose (composing already takes a lot of time to level up and epic frags would make almost no difference for avarege composers). So I'll would like to sugest that instead of breaking epic in frags as said before maybe it would be better if we could "trade" the epic for alliance tokens (to sink some epics from the game).
[But this would only work with non-invented epics and non-elemental epics] (so we won't see players buying 10 earth hammers or 30 inventable epics to "trade" for alliance tokens)
I would suggest this formula for the amount of alliance tokens received per epic:
(Stm gain the epic gives X 75) + (Exp gain the epic gives X 50) = number of alliance tokens recieved
Example 1) Deepwater Choker +1 stm gain and +1 exp gain
(1 X 75) + (1 X 50) = 125 alliance tokens
Example 2) Fuvayus Vortex Stone +2 stm gain and +2 exp gain (many epics from level 750 and below)
(2 X 75) + (2 X 50) = 250 alliance tokens
(if and player make this "trade" three times with and +2 stm gain and +2 exp gain epics s/he would be able to buy one LF 1250 on loyalty)
Example 3) Choker of time + 6 stm gain and +5 exp gain
(6 X 75) + (5 X 50) = 700 alliance tokens
And the player would receive bonus alliance tokens per forge level and type of craft:
=> +5 per forge level, so fully forged would give +25 alliance tokens
=> very poor and poor +5; Avarege + 10, Good and Very Good +15 , Excellent +20 and Perfect +25.
So an perfect fully forget would give +50 extra alliance tokens
HCS could add that with new potions on loyalty if the community approves this idea
* Tith Ausos would again be worth to Titan hunt to get the Tith Ausos Shield because some players may want to buy it to make this "trade" for alliance tokens (When Writhing Ward was mass invented many players no more buyed Tith Ausos Shield)
* Element Shield Bank would still be able to be "traded" for alliance tokens (turned into alliance tokens) but on the calc for alliance tokens it would consider the stm gain and exp gain it has after invented. If an player has this shield invented s/he would get +100 alliance tokens that s/he would get with Element Shield Bank (the only exception from invented epics).
