Does anyone else think this is a bit too much for a lightstone, 20 mil is also way too much in my view given that you get worthless lightstones 99.99999999999% of the time.

Are lightstones determined by their origin or completely rng? example, should a lightstones dropped by storm karanda be of a higher grade then from say pollys?

I think its a real dissappointment that to have a "chance" of a decent lightstone you most likely have to spend hundreds of millions, possibly billions and receive exactly the same lightstones (worthless one) over and over.

Another problem, if i take 3x zeal for example to dali, and recycle them, why on earth should anyone think its ok to receive a zeal back lol , completely crazy.

I think lightstones are great, but i think pa need to sort this out.

1. NEVER EVER get back the same lightstone you recycle, thats just retarded

2. lightstone quality determined by the drop origin

3. Alchemy guru is too high for purifying, i would like to see mastery level or master 10 for example be used instead

4. Generally, its great content, but its locked up. I think the streamers will get nice ones hmmmm??????

5. 20 mil is too much, the market value seems to be around 5-6 mil, so who or why would spend all that silver they need for the other items they need for a try at a lightsone?

Are there any plans to look at this? I dont think i would be interested in playing anymore after 3-4 weeks of alchemy every day and night to reach guru for only this lightstones.

Alchemy Master1 for lightstones or this content don't exist for me and most players.

Alchemy is total rubbish that gives nothing and requires a colossal amount of very expensive ingredients (when we need tens or hundreds of thousands of them) and from many sources (blood, mushrooms, trace, fruits, grass).

Epic Fail. 

I have used more than 150,000 blood in the last few days and it has made me a pitiful advance from Master 7 to Master 9.

While today, only from beer production, in 2 hours in cooking, I was promoted from Master 25 to Master 26.

Nothing else to add.

i got to master 1 just now, but even the lower exp items are bottlenecked, in this case purified water. so yeah fk alchemy for lightstones, would be great if they sorted something out, i dont want to wait a year and spend 30 bil for the lightstone combo i would like.

Sell your Imperfect and pre-order the lightstone you want.  It's going to be fill in a week or 2 as long that imperfect stone are supply.

You don't like RNG, Avoid the RNG and be patient.

Sell for 7m buy for 1,5b. Are you serious?

It's not rng if one thing has a 70% chance and another 0.5% but a simple scam. If we have eg. 10 lightstones, then the chance of each of them should be 10% rather than 91% for one of them and 1% for the rest.

So eg. i want [Delotia] Life EXP +17% = 2x wild life + fortune + irescent  = 2x 1,5b + 2b + 1,5b = "only" 6,5b just for one set for life skills.

And then people like you wonder why the following topics arise: "The game is really empty".

Yes this game is dead. These are the facts. I do not remember when the last situation would occur when Vell made 3 attacks. World bosses are the best indicator of how few people are playing.

not really worth to sell em, if theres one avail on market i'll buy it np. guru still too far for a lightstone chance

Are you even play the game?

99.99% of those orders are in since 2weeks, and they will be there even after 2months.

Anyone doing the 20m turnin for lightstones is not thinking about the bigger picture.  If you sold the imperfect you get 12m silver, meaning that any one of them that you do for 20m silver is actually 32m silver for each attempt.  If you buy cheap lightstones that is 5.5m silver.  You can turn 3 cheap lightstones in for a purified lightstone.  For 32m you can get 1 roll at a lightstone, for 33m you can get 2 rolls at a lightstone.

Let the alchemists convert the imperfects for you.

unless you are carried rng wise, even buying them isn't an option. the one or ones you want wont be available. the whole thing is locked up , could say nerfed down.

i refer to original post on my thought as how to solve this. though something tells me its a bit like a carrot on a stick to make the donkey walk.

Thers no getting around it, alchemy guru is required if you want to make a sensible approach to purifying lightstones, the guru level is too high, i know i would like to see mastery used, (like in hunting and some alchemy quest) or a drop in the requirement to purify.
