You made like 50 different runes, getting 6 specific magic/rare runes isn’t the most annoying thing in the world, but getting 6 specific legendary runes when you might find one a day sucks all the enjoyment out of finally getting your seasonal sparks.
If you could throw any 6 legendary runes into the blender, it would still suck, but very slightly less so. Much more pragmatic to simply keep the cost to two sparks and let it be. All this current system does is encourage black market duping.
I say they should bring back the specific method of crafting what you want with using more mythic sparks. The current method of requiring specific runes more or less forces a player to trade. The bigger issue is finding some who will trade a rune for another rune as certain mythics are obviously more sought after.
It’s either that or go the gem fragment route with runes.
Other than season one I haven’t had to chase a single mythic yet lol, last season was the strictest on loot and still no problems, this season it’s raining loot again lol. If I can get it on day 1-2 of a season there is no chase
How long does it take to complete the Rep. board for a spark? It can be done within a day or 2 (especially if your in an active clan and you get rep points for killing demons anywhere anyway)…
That’s probably the fastest/best approach.
(Might have to take my own advice here, lol)
If you play more in 1-2 days of the season than most people play in the first month, sure this is probably true. Most of us don’t have 16-20 hours a day to play diablo 4.
Best thing is to create an alt (of the same) get lvled to 60, insert top gear from main, blast away, get your spark cache, delete alt, make new, rinse repeat.
The only thing they fixed was the scrolls now you spend more for 1 and get way less for the points.
I have deleted more characters in the last few seasons for this reason. Since i dont buy duped items, its just faster to get 2 sparks than get a mythic drop.
I mean you can literally speed level 2 chars for sparks and it can be done in like 6 hours yes lol, took even less time before when that’s all you needed was a spark.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a return to lower tier crafting.
At minimum ancestral rare items, so we could masterwork one further than stock rare items, if we like.
Maximum would be bringing it back with ancestral blues and all tiers can be MW.
Perhaps this throws off the ancestral GA hunt and balance though so idk.
Not a massive deal, just something i used to like tinkering with.
It’s fine it just shouldn’t take all bloody season to craft 1 mythic. You reach a point where you have 2/6 legendary runes and you’re BANGIN THE GAME HARD doin all the activities that possibly drop runes and you go weeks and weeks and the seasons almost over and you still haven’t even gotten that 3rd rune and you need 3 more after that.
