fire-breath Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hey eric, tait or courtney, I wonder if we are going to be able to reverse engineer 78 dread forged gear in 2.7 just like we can with underworld. Back when 72 underworld was the highest tier it was the official statement we always would be able to craft the 2nd highest tier. The exception at this rule was 75 kelldragon for rwasons i forgot. Could any of you give an update about it if this rule is still in place? Have been grinding exotic elements and massmanipulators to craft my missing enhancements :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akabane_k Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 almost certain this will be the case. get isotopes while you are at it, they will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazaani Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Don't you think there will also be new highreg. crafting mats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfius Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Don't count on it, I suppose new NiM gear will be on same place as 75s - pure token based. This would mean no commendations tier changes, so no crafting tier changes too. Otherwise they simply need to make all BM RE able, all BM/Arcanian - 55 starter gear with no OPs mats requirement (or mostly EEE as they drop in HM FPs too), all Verpine and UW RE able and costing 1 MMG + 4 EEE & all 78s RE able and cost 1 MMG + 5 Isotope 5 + 5 EEE + base mats. Too much work just for 1 NiM tier that 95% of population would have not obtained till next level rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're wrong because I have been saving 78 item mods for some time now in the hope that 78s do become craftable. There are alternatives to shifting all existing schematics down: increase the quantities of all three exotic materials: i.e. Instead of the current 1 MMG, 5 I-5s, and 5 EEEs for 72s, they could make 78 crafted need 2 MMGs, 10 I-5s, and 10 EEEs (or some other variation)introduce a new exotic material to replace MMG or be in addition to the current "formula".

fire-breath Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 almost certain this will be the case. get isotopes while you are at it, they will be needed. Indeed. Havent forgot those. Luckely they are not that hard to come by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akabane_k Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) well, its confirmed, mats are 2 mmg 8 isotope, 8 eee. Edited March 4, 2014 by akabane_k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain_Turinbar Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If 72s were 900k-1.2m then will these sell for roughly double? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say triple to start due to lack of supply. As more players get the schematics, figure the prices will eventually drop to the cost of the materials: 1.4m.

I only have about 25mil credits and am still in 2/3 72s (and some of my 78s are not "optimized") so I'm looking to get in full 78s ASAP and may not have enough creds to do so. My raid group just doesn't raid very often and I have bad luck with rolls (still only have 1/6 set pieces I need, this won't help that) and I want to be ready for the 81 hunt as soon as its released.

Some crafters may be willing to make gear for you for materials + a tip. Unfortunately, the price of the raw materials is likely to go up due to demand skyrocketing, so you won't really save that much money. If you're serious about running Nightmare when 2.7 drops, I would suggest finding another guild. Not only will it help you gear up to 78s faster, but a group that doesn't raid very often, and doesn't already have HM DF and HM DP on farm, is going to have a miserable time running NM DF.

Question: who do you plan to do NiM DF with other than your "raid group"? Do you really think you will be able to PuG it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to the "ouch," apparently material speculation has already begun (on The Harbinger): MMGs were 300k they are now 400k Isotopes were 75k they are now 90k EEEs were 25k they are now 30k So count on even higher prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
