i think you should get additional frags for fragging forged items.  this would help thin out the incredible surplus of forged common crap and also maybe increase the value of forged gear closer to the actual cost to forge gear.

 

i think the number of forges on a piece should act as a multiplier for fragments received from fragging a piece.

 

maybe my example ramps that up quite a bit, maybe a bit too much, maybe a .5 modifier could be applied to smooth that out a bit.

 

examples:

 

number of fragments received incrementing upward by a multiple of frags from the previous level * forges

 

1 frag item : 1,2,6,24,120

2 frag item : 2,4,12,48,240

3 frag item : 3,6,18,72,360

4 frag item : 4,8,24,96,480

5 frag item : 5,10,30,120,600         

 

or:

 

 

1 frag item : 1,2,3,4,5

2 frag item : 2,4,6,8,10

3 frag item : 3,6,9,12,15

4 frag item : 4,8,12,16,20

5 frag item : 5,10,15,20,25

 

the second model doesnt feel to me to be as scalable or realistically justify the cost of fragging any decent forged items.

 

what do you all think?

 

discuss.

You already do. I just checked.

Level 1550 item not forged: 4 frags

Level 1550 item fully forged: 9 frags

didnt realize that, but 5 more frags hardly justifies the cost IMO

1 forge = 1 extra frag.

 

I think that's OK - it's certainly better than the no bonus you thought was in place

 

If that's not enough a "bonus", don't fragment 'em - sell 'em in the AH .

hmmm i really thought there would be more interest in this topic.

It is fine the way it is now. You already get more fragments from a forged item.
