38 level 80 characters, 31 of them in item level 600 season 1 tier, 7 currently in 633-639 item level S2 gear. Iām constantly valor stone capped on my main 7 characters weekly and usually have around 1000 on alts by season end. For me itās a crest issue and never a VS issue, so having something to spend VS on would be nice.
For me bountiful tier 8s is about as high as I can go solo, tried grouping for first time in S2 and after a rough group where a guy made fun of my DPS even after I let be known I had two amputated fingers, I will go back to soloing in Delve content.
What nonsense. Whatās your definition of āeveryoneā? Most I know are either at cap or close to most of the time. Considering there are so many quests that only reward valor stones, a vendor for them would be nice.
It seems like youāre capped because you may not be upgrading?
Same here. But you should still be getting Hero track from the Vault and your Bounty Map to upgrade, along with crafted. Plus upgrading the Champ gear.
Iām not. I use mine.
Yep. Because then I earn them back. Why wait and then complain Iām capped?
I bounce, one day I may be capped the next I may be starved. It all depends on just what I have to upgrade and how much. I am always farming, but I also have 40 other toons to mess with at the same time and I can say it varies from toon to toon on how well they are doing on Valorstones. Some seems to have a very hard time with them.
In S1 I did that where I upgraded Champion gear the first couple weeks and kicked myself because it was getting replaced depending on the RNG. Then I would only upgrade my Hero gear after that. The only time I upgrade my Champion gear now, is when I am trying to bring a PvP piece up to just below what I need to spend crests on.
Even if I upgrade all my gear, I will recap again shortly, as when S2 launched it took me not even a day to cap out 3 characters. I donāt do Mythic or Rated content at all and usually limit myself to no more than 4 Delves a week per character. Today I am trying as a specialization I normally donāt play anymore thanks to toxic players and while using tank Brann to solo to T11 so I can get the crests I need to upgrade my Hero gear that wasnāt available in S1.
I just upgrade all of it. I mean, why waste Valorstones sources by not acquiring them and sitting at cap? Thatās how I feel about it. They replenish.
Now, granted, this all has nothing to do with the OP wanting a vendor. Iām just giving a perspective on how to spend this stuff. I have zero issues with a vendor of some sort.
If anything, it would be nice to be able to transfer valor stones to alt characters. ATM after I finish my main 7 characters who regularly sit at cap and just do the content even after hitting cap, my lesser played characters could use more stones.
On average I play about 4 of them a week after I grind out my weekly content and generate around 150-200k gold across my characters a week just questing. Iām currently now in the process of making my other 31 characters gear current season 2 minimum base of 626 max of 636. This opens up the cosmetic of LFR / Normal and my main 7 open up the Heroic and sometimes Mythic level of cosmetics.
