Hello,

 

I contacted to support team, but I'm getting hopeless. There's a problem with progressing gear. I regret that I converted gear to be reformable one. Faster way would be enhancing it without reform stones. There's a problem on EU getting BMC, thousand of orders, impossible to buy it. I was contacting to support to revert gear back, I've done a mistake, just want normal gear back to enhance it normally. I hope there will be fix on this. I can't enhance it, put caphras stones. It just stopped me from progressing. It's a expensive guaranteed PEN, better to enhace it without reform stones tbh or buy normal PEN from CM.

 

Is there hope to revert gear back? I haven't done anything to it, just completed stupid quest without reading the consequences.

It's more expensive to enchance them to PEN, than doing the guarantated PEN questline.

What about collecting BMCs by yourself?

Working for your own upgrades?  What kind of blasphemy is this?

ugh people got +70 bil profit from guaranteed pen boss gears.

 

Most vets bought them 20bil peace and during our time we didnt have 700m/h orcs or 350mil sulfurs to buy 10bil worth boss gear.

 

We grinded for 20bil gear by grinding 100-200m/h from aakman/hystria or lifeskills which are now dead.

 

 

I dont mind about catchup mechanics but I feel like this will have consequences when everyone gets easy gear progression and eventually quits when figure out there is no endgame. Though I assume pearl doesnt mind this as long as people feed them cash with "mandatory" items.

Guaranteed pens aren't exactly easy, lol

Preorder all crystals/frags and you get them eventually. You will always be down on silver first. But silver requirement is 2x less for gear than it was used to.

Ok trying to be polite clearly you dont understand anything you spoke about. The guarenteed pens are far cheaper than enhancing yourself period. NOT EVEN DEBATABLE.

 

Once again we get these people who demand everything for nothing. If you are being gated by BMC's then you should simply do the activities needed to get BMC's. You can do imperial alchemy and grind the BMC areas. Its that simple. stop demanding free/easy everything.

And those fairy-tale writers again.

700m/h with what? Boss tet and acc tri? Vs elvia mobs and vs bs pen and boss pen cr 15-20 players?

Sulfur? "Good job, PA, good job", we have now more players at sulfur then mobs. Next f. dead zone with toxic dfs player each 10 minutes.

And there is the second and 3d and 4th piece which is getting more and more expensive...

Even if you're grindind BMC and fragments yourself, in the end for the last stone you still need to mealt weapons, at best tri boss weapon, and buy a ridicolous amount of those overpriced oquila items.

for example- for me I already hat all weaps on Pen, but for Armor there it goes, as I said, even you got enough BMCs and frags yourself without buying, it was already a pain to Tri another Bossweap. luckily I still had a +12 on my Shai which I don't play anyway, also luckily had enough (enhanced) black stones and frags to upgrade and repair it- but imagine alone those still got a value, I could have used them on my actual gear or even selling those items. 
then 80 of this oquila shards. Means it was still 4 billion to pay, and a long time to get all those items.
Ok got it, Dim Tree Pen.

The next one already needs 120 oquila shard. That's already 6 billion, Also again all those grinding or even buying if not want to take another year to get all those together- Because I'm a casual player, I can NOT play 24/7 all day long...
dunno if there will be even better gear before you finally got that then.
Imagine you'd buy everything (for the best opal you even need high alchemy level) then it's not worth at all.
Don't even know what the next number will be, maybe 160 oquila?

Meanwhile in the Market, a Pen Dim Tree or Griffon or what ever, bevor all this happened were about 7-9 bil...
If they just didn't increase the price (in the meantime double the price around 13-14 bil), it would've been not worth to do all the effort, but to buy pen directly.
And still I'm getting enough crons and else to try on usual way.
You just need to find a way to get at least around 150fs, or you just gettign it off an event or redeem code again.
__________________________________________________
So what I want to say it, I think this all is a bad way they did it.

Season and Tuvala is now so easy to get literally full Tet boss gear, imagine the times how hard I tried to get Tet stuff.
And now you can get even Pen on a safe way somehow, but I dunno. One part of me thinks it's good, but the other part is saying, what was all the effort I was doing before??
And what effort you need to do now, worth to just even go the new way to pen??

But you get forced to be at least on full Tet now for the new territories, just look at elvia spots or Odylitta laready.
so they are inventing more easyand more safe way to get all that with all this bad RNG stuff. It simply doesn't fit the way the game is based on and how they implement things...
