Dude not everyone got stacks of mats… looking around it is actually real few players who swim in a) dram and b) mats while newer players struggle to get enough obsidian for even the MSQ (and there is a certain connection between the shortage of many and the overflowing stacks of some, js).
Making ridiculous mats requirements will fix nothing. Y’all who got nothing to do than spending all day in the game to farm will have your mats back next week anyways, while others who got less time due to work or family would be flatout locked out of the event.
Apart from that events are a nice side activity, nothing more, I don’t play the game to do these. Or to farm. Or to craft. Or to sell things. All these are just - necessary and mostly boring - side-activities I don’t really care about. As so many I come on for group content, raids, shards, mainly.
Really hope this event is chilled enough that we can still do our dungeon evenings without everyone being stressed out with farming instead.
PS: Btw once I got 1 or 2 stacks of certain mats I sell my drops and harvests to the vendor. I couldn’t care less if I sell off mats/gear in games or if currency drops directly, both is totally normal if you play much. Players will always swim in common items if they invest more time in farming than most of the playerbase. It’s not that you need to keep everything or must have a place to spend mats or sell ALL on the auction house. Common mats can be sold to the vendor, anytime, problem solved (only wished we could sell tinkerer mats, these I delete).
The island will be accessible to all, it’s going to be permanent content.
Not tradeable. We want to avoid things like people trading to other characters with offensive names (or even softer trolls like soandsoguildsucks for example) since the name will be displayed to the whole server and then making our job more difficult tracking down the culprits, as well as potentially people losing them in PvP.
Once you hit level 30 and continue to level up after that, you get “Overlevel perks”. You can spend them in your library. One of the perks is to get up to 10% discount on all NPC merchants.
i believe every week you will get a list of items to gather and mobs to kill
EX: items: queens ear, blue moon, sun fish. Mobs: Undead, starfrusher, rat.
if that helps
you can get 1000 points from the items each week and 1000 points from the mobs each week totaling 2000 points a week
