why do seneschal cache require iron chunk? i have 12k soon to be 100k shattered stone but i only have 34 iron chunk. lol gg.
Iron chunks are the very most basic resource in D4 I can possibly think of. Truly, I can think of NOTHING lower down on the resource ladder than iron chunks. The next closest would be gallow vine.
My best guess is that you are new to D4 and have just missed all the ore nodes everywhere that give this most basic resource?

the amount of shattered stone is not proportional to the amount of iron chunk so you end up with more shattered stone than iron chunk which is not intuitive especially considering it occurs at the point where you are trying to finish maxing out your last handful of stones… and then when you want to use all your shattered stone on a new character to quickly level up your robot which is a nice reward if you spend all that time to farm it on your main, but then you dont have enough iron chunk.

This sounds like you are only bopping things on the head in the seasonal areas, getting lots of shattered stones and ignoring other parts of the game.
You’ll need to engage with more aspects of the game than just seasonal activities to cover your base.
Although EVEN just bopping around the seasonal obelisks/towers/events/etc, you can still explore around the edges of the area and find LOTS of nodes that give iron chunks. So you can still do you, just explore the edges and extract the chunks.
lol chill bro you likely have not maxed out your sentinel yet bro so you don’t understand what im even talking about… when you start having level 10 stones every duplicate gives like 200 shattered stone and you have less and less chance to get ones you don’t have. the fastest way to max out robot is to run through nightmare vaults and collect the loot at the end. not subjective…
1 t60 vault will give u like 2-3k shattered stone once you are starting to get duplicates. just basic math dictates that you need tens and thousands of iron chunk to effectively use shattered stones beyond a certain point in your gameplay which is unrealistic!
farming iron chunks is not ever going to be faster than just spamming vaults for stones therefore once you run out of accumulated iron chunks from leveling, the option to craft seneschal cache is nearly useless and you will eventually have hundreds of thousands of shattered stone with no way to use
really i just made this thread hoping PEZRADAR will read it and inform the boys so that the gameplay can feel smoother

Uhhh… Okay, will leave you be. Played the game since the beginning and was just trying to help someone out that still seemed pretty clueless.
Thanks, “bro”
to be fair the question was “why do seneschal cache require iron chunk?” and not “how do i get more iron chunk”, but thx man no hard feelings…
You have a good point.
Season 1 - Malignant Hearts and Invokers(Crafting) didn’t require anything except the Seasonal materials(correct?).
Season 2 - Vamp Powers were all tied to Potent Blood.
Season 3 - Seasonal Materials Shattered Stones + Iron Chunks.
It’s likely that it’s to limit the Cache Crafting spam due to the sheer qty of Shattered Stones that we acquire.
Maybe it should be X# Elemental Core + 100 Shattered Stones considering those are the Seasonal Materials.
this is not true. make the caches are the fastest way. open 2 and pick up stones, open 2 pick up stones. the caches wont drop stones you already have at lvl 10. had all stones maxed to 10 yesterday morning within 12hrs of patch.
