Please Give Us A Way to Use All These Bounty Materials!

Many of us who are trying to utilize the benefits of the season theme are running into a major bottleneck with forgotten souls. The season theme is giving us tons of bounty materials, but we never have enough forgotten souls to reforge our items and actually use the materials. For example, it costs 50 souls to reforge. I have 7,000 of every bounty material. It costs 5 of each of those, but I have 300 forgotten souls. I pick up and salvage every legendary, but will NEVER be able to use these materials. Botters are going to win yet again, just because they can farm forgotten souls on their downtime.

PLEASE double forgotten souls from salvaging, cut the cost of forgotten souls to reforge, or something! Your season theme is not working as intended because of this. It is otherwise very fun and you did a great job!

Regards,

I am going to be my usual self and say; it never ends.
If Forgotten Souls are doubled, the next post would be about not having enough bounty materials, or normal materials or whatever.

Or offer a cube recipe that converts DBs or other mats to FS.

I’ve been saying this too… not sure how this fact eludes so many people.

I easily spent 3k F.S. rerolling an amulet and didn’t even get a decent one in the process. Botters are still at the advantage because they’ll have a stockpile of F.S. to work with. There is a huge imbalance here.

I smell a troll.

They will always win in any game where time played has an effect on the outcome.

I think that the idea of the Devs was, that it should also fit outside of S29 with the same droprates.
In an uncapped environment you’re grinding GRs as much as possible for the XP and collect a ton of Forgotten Souls during that.
You’d only do a few Visions for the bounty mats to balance your FS with Bounty mats.

It’s just that in S29 there is no incentive to play GRs past leveling your gems and petrified screams.

That being said, I wouldn’t mind the recipe to be cut down to 25 FS, or a DB to FS conversion 25 → 1 or something.

Well, if they balanced it around T16 farming, then they failed miserably with the Death Breath drops. They are out of whack, even without the Visions. If I had to do something right now - I would adjust three things:

  1. increase drops/salvage yield of normal mats (parts, dust and crystals)
  2. add a recipe that directly converts 500 DB into 50 FS
  3. reduce the FS requirement on reforges from 50 to 30

Maybe like this…

OP made one thread whining about this very thing trying to claim it’s a bug. Then felt the need to make this second thread about the exact same thing.

Worthless thread warrants garbage reply.

This is the easiest season to gear up yet. So yes, skill issue.

what do you mean they (botters) are going to win again?

Yes they can get Primals with full main stats
Yes they can have more primals than you
But all these alll wont even give them 1 GR tier of more damage than you if you have decent ancients

What do you mean, seriously?
unless your topic is maphackers going to win again. This is can agree with you.
But you… seem to also know where doors are…

If you don’t know where doors are after 11 years and needing gps… Idk what to say.

GR layouts should be muscle memoried by now for dedicated.

doors, refers to exit to next floor.
Ok since your so good, tell me if you know exactly the exits in all the Plagued Tunnels

They took out giving you 15 forgotten souls for salvaging a primal, they should have left it in the game as well as giving primordial ashes.
It was a problem last season as well with the mats getting imbalanced more.
I agree that it’s really imbalanced atm.
Mainly because there is no way to account how different players will use their time to farm, too much grs and you’ll have barely any materials, too many portals and wont have forgotten souls.
I mean lvling ssfhc I had 100 gr keys prelvl70 but that was nice lol,
having pets salvage the yellow,blue,white would be awesome cuz town routine from portals sucks

That’s not a big deal, especially as the other material gives you a way to target a primal item that you want by crafting. Anyway…

On average, for every 400 legendaries you get…

  • 1 primal ancient legendary
  • 40 ancient legendaries
  • 359 legendaries

Old scheme, resultant Forgotten Souls…

  • 1 * 15 souls = 15 souls
  • 40 * 3 souls = 120 souls
  • 359 * 1 soul = 359 souls

Grand total = 359 + 120 + 15 = 494 souls per 400 legendaries
That’s an average of 1.235 souls per legendary

New scheme, resultant Forgotten Souls…

  • 40 * 3 souls = 120 souls
  • 359 * 1 soul = 359 souls

Grand total = 359 + 120 = 479 souls per 400 legendaries
That’s an average of 1.1975 souls per legendary

A difference of 0.0375 souls per legendary.

Indeed, losing that 15 souls per primal salvage doesn’t hurt basically at all in the long run.

That being said the souls are in a bit short supply this season. Right now I have 1600+ of bounty mats and a few hundred souls. Rerolling really burns through the souls quickly.

Exits are diagonally opposite the entrance. If you enter from bottom left of screen, the exit will be top right or bottom right. Which one depending on tiles connected.

Exits are easy. Memorizing all the LESS popular pylon spots requires work. Map knowledge was fundamental for classic dedicated players where top clans used to host their own website and conduct written tests for clan LB competitor zdps on GR knowledges. Whether its necessary for a game is questionable, but was fun back in those days. I am rusty these days, if you talk to me 5 years ago, I could hand draw you most map layouts in GR.

d.163.com. a hardcore Chinese d3 fans website, once had all the GR tile sets screenshotted in its database. Jig saw puzzling on those are more fun than useless primal farming.

Not sure who heard of Unity League from NA still on this forum today.
