Inherited/ Sealed Power: Fragments
Since orange materials were nerfed to only give 25 inherited/ sealed power: fragments when being dismantled instead of 100, the requirements for material synthesis need to be adjusted as well.
The old requirements are absurd with the dismantling change.
Example:
I don't think this change was ever mentioned in patch notes either, so we don't know if it was intended or not.

150 is for lv90 items. Lv95 requires 450.
You need to dismantle 18 just for ONE ability change on a lv95 item. You would need to dismantle 54 for all three ability changes alone. That's not counting the synth fragment requirements either. The cost adds up very quickly with material synth.
I think it's still fine for lv90 synthing, but lv95 requires a lot more...at least for ability changes. I haven't paid attention to the others, since I did those before the nerf.
(I only purchase the sealed power fragments off the MP.)
Agreed. I only ended up doing it for dailies. Getting the speed buff every kill does make things go a lot faster. (And that said last I looked fragments were so cheap that even buying 450 would be a small fraction of the total cost of replacing the ability.)
While the price balancing is a good thing I think we will have a supply problem for the green fragments. People just don't run enough of berbe/BC to get a surplus of solids and smooths.
they probably changed it because the price of red fragments dropped to 250~1k gold on EU.I'm glad changes like this happen because the price of those items went to the shitter after the orange drop rate adjustment
Not to mention KR made the changes first, but their population is much larger than ours. When more people quit in the future, supply will be even more of an issue. The only reason we really have cheap mats right now is because there are bots botting S3.
However,for sellers,this change revived an old method of making money (farming orange shards in short S3 missions)
No, I'm thinking about this long-term. I've already maxed six characters prior to the change except for some abilities, but I don't see there being enough supply to do the same in the future. I would likely have to wait a week or more between each character.
In material synthesis (offered by Dianan in Rocheste), these fragments are used to upgrade the stats of essences, shards. and chunks of composited items in conjunction with other S3 materials: Godly Cloth, Heavenly Leather, etc.
It was unavailable for a few hours yesterday. It's fixed now, though.
