I"m getting real tired of grinding the pit for materials. In future seasons, could we get materials to drop from other sources? Pit should still be the main source, but other sources should be in play for variety’s sake.
Maybe have Living Steel chests in Helltide drop a few? Maybe the same for World bosses? Completing a level 90+ nightmare dungeon? Whisper Tree chaos chests? Killing an Echo boss?
Just want a tiny bit of material progress when I go do other activities to break the monotony.
The only reason to do greater rifts is mw mats. Mind you its a boring linear zoom zoom slog. Ppl wanted GR an mw mats keep them relevant.
I do believe all areas should have some relevance in the game
I like this idea, but only for the tier 1-30 material. Everything else should be gated
Could add it to open world events then because it’s literally untouched and no one goes around in it, only use sigils and teleport to the dungeon, atm they made an open world for nothing. Not to mention the other activity with a leaderboard, I didn’t even try it lol, because why would I?
Didn’t think about Legion events. Might be a good source as well.
And using the gauntlet would be cool too. Maybe as part of weekly rewards. Maybe give better materials for placing?
And did like Sketch’s suggestion to keep the non-pit material drops to the lowest version. Would help you build a collection for the inevitable item reset after masterwork 4, 8, and 12. 
Maybe there will be other sources for masterwork material in the future as there have been for other mats. The Pit will certainly remain the main source and Pit grinding for mats will have to continue.
What I would ask is the possibility to not just receive Neathiron for doing Pit60+ but also a bit of Ingolith and Obducite. Pit runs are not super fun and having to do low Pit just for mats makes it even less. This is not me (I am far from it) but I imagine how boring it must be for those doing Pit150+ to have to go back to P30 just for the mats.
I’d agree if Legion events weren’t the worst content in the game. I literally forgot they existed.
Me too. Lol
They’re interesting concept, but the execution is lacking. Feels more like they should be a raid style event where you gather a team than an open public event.
