Still no tool. However. Think I might double the weigh of the new recipes and triple the weight of the new Quest Items.

Sound like a decent stop gap?




Great Mate Thanks!!!

I take it you need the tool to take out the old stuff?

From my understanding, it seems like he only has the ability to alter the balancing of the items spawned and not the ability to take out or add items. O.o

..... weirddd

I need the tool to make rotating easier. I can add and remove tournies but if I have to readd a Tournie, I have to do it from scratch which takes a huge amount of work. The tool I want would allow me to simply turn tournies on or off. It would save huge amounts of work and allow rotation to be done with a couple of clicks as opposed to several hours of work.

Yes, increasing the output of components would be great. I still don't think there's enough components yet to make any of the complete sets (assuming no inventor 2 kicks in). Thank you for watching. What did you think of my idea of making all gold tourneys for 1 million or less just 8 people??

Hmm....there's a little 2 piece set in the Wiki Images nestled in between 2 of the new arena sets, image number 9723 and 9724, but no recipes. It's an obvious Legendary set because it's pulsating different colors. Colored Orange and black... a Halloween LE perhaps? Or something for the caves?? I'm intrigued...



actually its a ring in the 980-990 range that i saw yesterday. the ring was a single piece unique item not a set so i think the thing beside it is its recipe. but yeah the way it look youd think it was at least LE. i had hi hope too till i saw it in the AH.

Grim, any comment on removing HP from the item and sticking it on the set bonus?

Seriously, you want these items to be desirable. Four stat items aren't desirable.

I dont actually participate in the arena all that much anymore, but would combining the items arena and the gold arena together make it a better gold sink and might make it move just a bit faster? Right now its not moving fast because of the crystalline stuff that are worth less than the entry price, and the gold arena is not moving because most people are just joining for then new stuff. Bringing them together would force people to join the gold tourneys to get it moving faster, but it will be better than throwing away money at the crystalline items because with gold you can actually break even or profit from it.

I hate to say this bro, but if the same people keep beating you, why don't you change things around? It's the only way I survive at all in the arena is to change things up. And then I go back to the old way when they least suspect it. :)

so you don't want any of these items because they are 4-stat?


The point of having these items in the arena is to cause the arena to sink gold because they're valuable.

If you make the items less powerful than other gear available in the range, and simultaneously make them extremely difficult to invent, extremely expensive to buy, and of questionable usage value, how exactly can you expect the arena to continue to achieve the objective of sinking that gold?

It doesn't make sense.

To be honest, I can sense an Arena stall very soon into the life of these items, because sad as it sounds, items that arent useful for levelling just wont attract as much interest.

These items will provide an ongoing gold sink for months in my opinion. Strictly due to the difficulty of the inventions, more and more of the components will be needed, and we greedy arena players (ok I'm mostly speaking for myself here) will continue sinking gold for these components in the hopes that we will win one of them and reap a big payday.

I'm very sorry Grave,but I honestly don't see the problem with these items being four stats and if the sets are as good as they appear to be at first glance, I don't think that it will be an issue regarding their desirability and gold sink value. I just don't see how removing 1 stat (hp) and putting it into the set will increase the chance for these items to be a gold sink. I do think that maybe just maybe they were made a little too difficult. I like the 2 component idea for each recipe, but maybe just one of each instead of 2 would have been better, but I'm not sure.

Also, Grave, don't you think since the prices of these items will be out of reach for most players for a long time, that more people will try their hand at the arena in hopes of winning them and creating a set for themselves?

The super high level recipes will stall, for sure, just like the previous ones. But the components will not stall.
