Puzzling Cartel Chip

[Andruidi-area-52]

Was there suppose to be a Puzzling Cartel Chip?

[Akariliselle-cenarion-circle]

Yes. Last we heard it will be added in the .5 patch that’s coming up

[Gneusch-zuljin]

Sometime during the .5 patch, as opposed to on release, if I’ve understood correctly.

Here is the Naguura interview that has given us the most recent information about the cartel chips.

Dinars in 11.1.5! Undermined Dev Interview with Ion Hazzikostas and Maria Hamilton

I do like how Ion at an earlier point says having players wait X number of weeks for the dinars didn’t feel right, so they removed them from the renown track. But now, we’re going to get them X weeks into 11.1.5 patch – which itself is already going to be a number of weeks intto the greater S2 cycle – and that seems to be okay?

I think they are trying to think of a point where many raiders actually have progressed to the point where this is obtainable. Because objectively, people gaining items many HoF raiders might not even have access to yet is hilarious. They just need to add dinars but you can only get items on the track of the bosses you killed.

If they added dinars and only made them available to raiders who have killed X bosses on Y track, it would be fun to watch the mayhem unfold.

[Dalah-deviate-delight]

I’m just in favor of them being a BLP feature for two items of your choice rather than a Daddy lets kid pick two candy bar’s situation but yea it would still be funny watching the freakout. Just from my perspective, what is the point of even having certain items on the loot table if everyone will just buy them with the dinar tokens? The amount of pick’s certainly won’t be diverse. It will be some combination of: Jastor’s, BIS trinket or BIS weapon.

[Akariliselle-cenarion-circle]

Well some people don’t do raid or raid regularly, so having it tied to the raid rep would mean that some people don’t get them or get them later than others.

This way everyone at least gets them at the same time.

Well yeah the entire point is to counteract drop RNG on pieces that matter most. Previously you couldn’t even buy armor with the coins, only trinkets/weapons and jewelry with special effects.
