It's not fair! The Heart of the Sun is bound! And I used up over 2000 energy (including 1500 reserve energy) at behemoth hunting.

I have an idea. Make Heart of the Sun unbound so I could just buy it for 25k Credits because I have everything needed for Sunstorm Arc, except for the Heart of the Sun. And Sunstorm Arc is Legendary.

Also, it's not fair that only the faction who's at 1st place in defeating Rorsarakan receive the drops. How about setting the chance of getting the drops for behemoth at 0.1%? That way, factionless players could receive the drop. THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!!!

How about every faction who participated have a chance? For example, each kills contributed increases the chance by 0.05%? For example, if faction killed Rorsarakan 1500 times, the faction would have 75% chance of getting Heart of the Sun.

I wasted a lot of energy and what's worse is I wasted all of my reserve energy on behemoth hunting.


It's not wasted energy - all the kills count towards your behomoth medal :). And, if your faction knows you won the item on your own, then they might make the sunstorm arc for you and let you have it ? - have you asked them ?

Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

The Heart of the Sun is special reward meant to make the behemoth worth hunting.
while that item is bound the Sunstorm Arc isn't and can be bought, I'm sure that if the drop was un-bound the price of that drop and Sunstorm Arc would still be the same price.

I have solo and won it with 720 kills lol. value is what the arc is worth. rest of the drops took me 500 energies while it took almost 4k energy to get my kills just buy it. it is cheap enough anyway

If you can find someone with the drop, I think the best deal you might get is the resources plus 29 FC These items are a lot of work to get so I couldn't imagine it getting any lower than that?

We always sell them for less than mentioned above - but your frustrations prove it is hard to get a sun so they should have value. Although, I know of many players that have soloed a Rosa. In fact, one player soloed it twice in a solo faction and then factionless. This was NOT a high level player either.

That being said, I have no problem with the sun being unbound - given that it only has one use it could be sold either before or after the assembly and not make a difference. Nobody but winner should get a sun though....

I see no problem with it, I would have the Sunstorm Arc right now, but I don't have the 2k energy needed to get the item. And without anything like a points system, it is not worth it

I would buy HotS for 25k Credits and make Sunstorm Arc. I believe the chance to make that weapon successfully is 100%.


So would I, but i couldn't imagine any individual or faction going through the trouble of hunting the behemoth for the item if i was only worth 25k Credits.

I'd guess you're off by about a faction of 10 - or close to it. I have seen the Arc sold for high teens and up. Since the rest of the stuff is worth under 1 FC I'd imagine the market for Hearts would be 15-20 FC.

Unbinding the Heart will not change the value of the piece, just change what is sold (Heart or assembled Arc). My guess? Factions view the rest of the assembly as costless so the price for Hearts would be the same as for Arcs and you'll technically pay more this way. It's a good piece with a tough component to obtain. It's expensive. If you are getting the piece with energy (and not winning first or second Rosa) you would be better off skipping the piece.

No. Don't make it unbound. I see no reason to do this. Frankly if a faction isn't willing to follow through when they hunt the behemoth then why would they hunt it in the first place. Plus I've seen unengineered/unaugmented SS Arcs go for 30 fc recently. It depends on the buyer and whether there are others available to the buyer.

yup. it is very easy to finish it. with such a ease of hunting elite. 500 energy is plenty to get all the item to finish it. no reason to make it unbound.

Hi there.

The Heart of the Sun will not be Unbound. There is no reason for it to be.
