Region (NA/EU): NA


Suggestion(s)/Comment(s):
Why don't we add Sealed Black Magic Crystals to be part of the loot table in Edania? Even better, all of the grind spots in the game.

Details: Why are higher-tier players being punished by having to go somewhere else, making less silver per hour to get what is now one of the most important items in the entire game? You have created so many things that require these. I'd really like to make 19 Crystals of Breathing Verdure. You get what 50 or 60 an hour, give or take, at Dark Seekers Retreat, so that means I'd have to spend 30 to 32 hours to get what I need for that one item. It doesn't matter how many events you have added recently to try to inject these back into the game; it's not good enough. Between Sealed Black Magic Crystals, Magical Shards, and singular Black Magic Crystals, we have about 180,000 pre-orders at the time I made this post. Not too long ago, I could buy as many as I needed off the Central Market. I now have pre-orders up for everything in the game that would get me Magical Shards. After an entire night of fishing, I might get lucky to get 20 max, and those are only the Black Magic Crystals, and forget about ever getting actual Sealed Black Magic Crystals or Magical Shards. 

Edited this so it might have a better chance to reach the Devs

Gotta leave some high-demand loot for those starting out, building up, or hunting treasures.

If a spot dropped "everything" players needed, why would they grind anywhere else?

EU had almost 1 month long out of stock for SBMCs and daily sold around 120k pieces.
NA is have over month long out of stock, but there is still sold 50k-100k SBMCs daily (by Garmoth and BDOlytics market data)

It will take bit time for NA to get stocks up again, this is again sign of lack of grinders in NA side.

Up until Sycraia update, the 5% AP caps killed the fun of any of the traditional SBMC drop spots.  Even if all the fishers on NA grinded before that update, they would not be grinding where SBMCs drop.

The AP capping didn't cause the shortage but absolutely exacerbated it, and likely caused a drop in active grinders.

I'm not talking about new players, I'm talking about veteran players. I don't care what new players do or don't do. I care about people like myself who have been playing this game for years, having to go to a lower-tier spot because we're not getting the most important things that we need to move forward in the game. New players don't even need the things necessary to make the stuff that we need; they have to work up to that, but then you're saying that we've got to work down? I'm saying to add them to Edania first and foremost because that's where we're getting screwed; adding them everywhere was mainly a suggestion, and of course, a shot in the dark.

You now can go to Sycraia which became the best spot to grind BMC by a large amount.

The NA issue is that the players in NA don't grind much, which makes the shortage continue. In europe it have been solved 4 days after the release of Sycraia with the events, going from -800k to a positive amount within a week.

The ideal is that each spot has its own purpose, a unique mix of difficulty and rewards.  Your high-end spots give silver, endtimes, pigments, etc.  Other spots give less silver, but are easier to access or drop high-demand items like SBMC.  If you need SBMC, then you spend your silver on the market to get them from players who are grinding spots that drop SBMC.

A change like this– adding "every" item of need to high end spots– would only makes the other spots less valuable for everyone else.  It attempts to decrease demand through direct satification, rather than encouraging others to increase supply.  The latter is the healther approach for the game overall.

So, take the hint others have provided.

And get your preorder up for SBMC and Magical Shards and have a little patience.

This was an order of 1000 less than a month ago.  I may have been lucky, but let this be another proof that you'll get them from the market eventually.
