That's not the point - it may not be cheaper (if you get very unlucky) but it's guaranteed over time. I went through the entirety of S2 and never saw anything higher than +12.

Look I doubled boomed over 45 weapons for my first +15... I only got a +13/14 demain/polmian because of the pocket knife event. I know it used to suck, and it still sucks. But I am just saying that Prototypemind is right. That is the before +11/12/13 guaranteed way was much better for folks without money. Once you do get money it still is better to just buy it.

And I must add that since I already have good gear I am not willing to buy steel with my hard earned gold, so everything for me is just from farming. (I tend to do a bit better than once a month for 60+ steel but it is only "ok" for folks like my that play way too much.)

Also, there are like 55 pages of botted steel on the MP right now with stacks ranging from 1 to 97 (many high stack listings). So tbh availability of steel doesn't seem to be an issue. Availability of gold to buy the steel might be a problem for some players, but that doesn't devalue the reforging system imo.

I am guessing that we only have 1 group capable of botting the raids. And they have agreed upon the prices of all the raid drops. That is why things haven't dropped like they did back in the 2 mil mael es days.

Personally the reforge system is a good step in the right direction. It still costs too much even for folks with gold. 60 steel + weapon ess + 2 oranges is just too much even if it is for +14 ->+15 weapons. It really is no cheaper to make a +15 than it was in the double boom days. (And that was without the bots...)

You should think about starting to party up at the start of season 3 (Ben Chenner Entrance-> Autumn Reed Bed). You can solo those bosses, but usually they will be a bit very tough for new lv 75 folks.

Note the game even tells you that with Regina you should party up. (Use quick board... If you can host it should fill very quick since it is a story mission.)

Good luck.

Dismantel it for element stone mats. Or use it to farm low levels.

None at all, and no hype for Miul either ;-) But yeah, free character slot is nice.

Will just keep on farming for shards/steel on my lann.

Hopefully we get some +11/12 runes with the holiday season too.
