I do the quests that reward archivist items, kill any rares and loot any objects along the way, then use a portal and loot the 4 chests in of the shadow realm. Doing more than that will make you crazy.
On the up side when you finally cap it out you can afford enough conduits you probably max all of the ones you intended to use.
On a totally unrelated note why does it say you’re a tauren druid?
As soon as I started grabbing the 4 rift chests and occasionally doing the zovaal chest in the maw, I went from avg 300 rep/day to like 700-800 rep per day.
Korthia is garbage?..You mean this entire game is garbage!
They have moved from designing a game around fun and player experience, to designing a game around profit and maximum screen time!
Just look at everything you need to farm to force us to sit in front of our computer screens:
Korthia
Reknown
Stygia
Stygian Embers
Honor/Conquest
Faction Rep
Crafting mats
And that crap from Torghast!
The game devs ALLLL need to be replaced. Why can’t they just make a straight forward gaming experience, and expansion like WotLK was! WTF is their design model now? It’s crap, it’s corporate BlizzActivision crap!!!
The problem isn’t just them, it’s us too… the consumer. Pre-high speed internet information traveled a lot slower… in turn most mmos were about exploration. Nowadays any random Andy can log onto wowhead and see exactly what they need to do for xyz.
Now I’m not defending blizzard here but timegating/chores/etc are there because people consume content MUCH faster now than they did in the past… to the point that they literally cannot create enough content fast enough to keep players well… playing.
Your idea while it sounds great would fall flat due to a large segment of players who would no-life the game for a week, clear everything then unsub until next patch… at least now they hold onto those players for a few months as opposed to a few days.
I spend probably around 30-45 minutes in Korthia most days. I do the dailies, kill whatever rares spawn while I’m there, loot whatever treasures I see, and kill any mob that carries relic items (I bought the upgrade that allows me to see that).
I’m almost to Exalted with Death’s Advance and well into T4 on Archivist rep. Yeah, I’m a bit behind but who cares? I’m in no hurry.
I’m going to keep doing Korthia until I don’t want to any more, but for now I’m enjoying it.
It’s probably the worst ‘tied to player power’ rep grind we’ve ever had. It’s awful. The bulk of the grind should have been tied to the big weekly quests, with the option to farm Korthia for a bit of a boost as well as the various mounts/cosmetics. Instead you need to spend 45 minutes grinding chests and rares and hoping you get lucky with dailies that actually offer rep.
And no. 45 minutes per day for weeks/months is not fast. In terms of raw time spent it’s easily one of the worst.
The people who like that kind of content would have been happy to do it for cosmetic/collectible rewards. The people who just wanted sockets/conduits/crafting HATE it.
I was giddy getting to tier 6 but then I remembered I am cloth wearer so only three out of the six possible slots I could put a socket on. Minus the two rings I have which already came with sockets, all that for one socket on my neck piece.
Really disappointing that literally all the gear in the game is pretty much recolor of the same exact gear.
For every class.
And plate all looks the same.
Now I’m not saying it doesn’t look awesome.
There’s just absolutely variety.
It’s all just different versions of each other.
