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.

I don't think they'll revert it back.  In my experience with PA support, they don't seem as helpful as my experiences with Kakao support when it comes to reverting things.

 

Highly suggested to make at least one or two guaranteed boss gear and maybe at least one weapon.  Recommend to do guaranteed on whichever 2 boss armors are the most expensive in your region, the overall price is much, much cheaper than enhancing yourself, on average.

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.

Yeah, I bought all my PENs besides Bheg's and Kutum.  Back when Star's End / Sycria was the best spot.  Each PEN was 17 bil or more.  I averaged about 250 - 300m an hour at Star's End, and I grinded there religiously.  New players straight out of Season can make more than that average at Sulfer Mines with less than 250 AP.  And PENs are really cheap right now, on NA, Muskan's and Leebur's are going for 10 bil, I've seen some preorders fill for 9 bil on these. 

 

Those aren't the META boss gears, but it's still a PEN boss gear.  For 10 bil.  And Muskan's, Leebur's, Kutum is still very viable on some classes and builds, especially considering they lowered the PvP damage on pretty much every class this patch, so less damage going around overall, making evasion-based builds more relevant.  New players don't know how good they have it right now lol.

1. You forget that this is also a forum for european players, and in our market 12-16b for pen armor part is still a typical price.

Weapons are cheaper 8-12b but .... almost noone sell pen boss weapons, in Europe most players use black star tet.

Why?

2. Because the prices in the European item shop do not match our earnings. You forget about it too. While it is not possible to sell an outfit for weeks in the USA, in Europe there are several dozen pre-orders for each outfit. Lack of regional prices killing this game in Europe.

 

So don't tell us how to play when you are a p2w player and have achieved nothing but bought everything.

I am certainly NOT a P2W player lmao???  If you think I'm a P2W player, then you don't know what a real P2W player is.  I manage to hold a full time job, have a GF, and pay bills while still progressing at a pace I can be happy with.  Not satisfied since there's always gear goals for me and I'm not chasing the top spot.  If I am viable, that's good enough for me.

 

I think the difference is I know how to progress without P2W or egregarious RNG, which is slower than whales and RNG carried people, but I enjoy my game :) Sorry you don't know how, or are willing to do what's needed to make meaningful progress.

 

I'm almost 316 AP, and my class can get away with lower DP than other classes if I play well enough.  I just need this PEN Basi Belt to sell, then I'll buy a PEN Ogre/Laytenn.  Grind up 10 more bil and I'll be at 316 AP with TET Turo's Belt.

 

Not amazing gear by any stretch.  Only have 362 DP right now.  But I enojy myself and am happy with my achievements thus far.  Not satisfied, always some new gear goal for me and I like that.  But I can contribute for my guild in GvG / node war against siege players, can perform decently in RBF, can 1v1 almost anyone, can grind Elvia zones buttery smooth, and that's good enough for me.

Yep yep yep over 300M/hr at Sulfer Mines lol.  IF you USE the BEST CASH SHOP ITEMS POSSIBLE MAYBE.

 

It's not the old players working so hard or the seasons.  Pearl Abyss should release a new 600% Item Boost with 250% Drop Rate so people can start claiming everyone makes 1B/HR everywhere.    Because THAT is HOW everyone likes to calculate rates.

And with agris which lasts for one hour ... every 5 days.
