I need “Drake” crests so badly, so okay I go to LFG
My key is currently a 14 so I don’t want to lower it to a 6 so I sign up for keys
Decline, decline, invited then removed? Decline
Okay finally get invited. Do a key.
Rinse. Repeat.
I am 416 or something, trying to do +6 keys to 8/8 the rest of my Veteran pieces, already did almost all of normal raid for the week. I thought the removal of valor was to remove the whole need to farm low keys?
Yes, I know you can “downgrade” crests, however, each crest type is a separate “cap”. Meaning why do I want to lower Wyrm to Drake? Just means I have less Wyrm’s to work with.
Each dungeon, should give you all the fragments in such a way;
2-5 you get “Whelp” only
6-10 you get 12 “Drake” fragments, but ALSO 12 “Whelp” fragments
11-15 you get 12 “Wyrm” fragments, 12 “Drake” fragments and 12 “Whelp” fragments
16+ you get 12 “Aspect” fragments, 12 “Wyrm” fragments, 12 “Drake” fragments, and 12 “whelp” fragments
That way you still get lower fragments to upgrade without having to fight other high geared players for spots in low keys, and if you actually NEED low keys for gear well LOL good luck
Why not just do the +14 and keys around that area and get Champ gear? I’d rather do that than max out Vet gear which will be replaced once you do the +14 and similar keys anyways.
I mean, fair. I understand where you’re coming from. Crest fragments are guaranteed. But the power potential of the EoD of that +14 and and the Vault will be much higher.
Eh not that worried about vault. It’s currently a +11, anything over an 8 puts it on the “hero” track, no issues getting Wyrm crests. I rarely do any keys over a +15, prolly wait til I actually have my gear all 437 before I worry about doing +16’s (and I never care to do higher then a +16)
Understandable. Only thing I can say is persistence. If you’re farming +6s you def already have the experience done. People just wanting even higher. It is lame, though. My mage got similar treatment last season.
Well that’s never going to happen. You should instead be asking that once you’re capped on a particular tier, that activity just gives you the tier below instead.
It’s probably better to just use your key.
Gear will eventually drop (that’s better long-term anyways)! Those really low sub 11 keys are likely trainwrecks anyways.
I got removed from a 14 Halls Tuesday night, then got into a 16 Halls minutes later and 2 chested it. You never what’s going on with randoms, lol.
Problem is, you have options. You’re just unsatisfied with the results. That’s not really a flaw with the system…since if you’re doing 14s, you probably shouldn’t be too worried about capping out gear that just requires 6’s anyway.
This would kill keys lower than +16.
There would simply be no point in making them.
Nowadays (I also do it myself) having gear that already allows me to do M+20 I also do M+ 11-12 because:
(a) farm crests for upgrades
b) farm specific items in an easy fast way
Who benefits from this? People who are just starting out, because: they are more likely to get an item that I no longer need, and they quickly spin to higher keys (with my gear I make almost 2x more DPS than people at that level - so keys are made at +3)
