The thing is lvl 6 actively fail, GM has stated the success rate of this lvl 7 is 99% meaning yes it’s pricey, but it’s going up a stat. I agree with Eijun make it raw drop on wave 7, increase sarco chance on lvl 3+ tools not so many 1s atm they are useless, OR Change refine of 1s and 2s to require no archondrite for refine, and price of lvl 7 and all tools for that matter would find a happy medium. Also to add this would not change the fact once again lvl 6 fail, gear is very hard to upgrade to max even with many tools. This would not change their intentions of it being very “challenging” at all. It would just make shinewood more highly contested on all waves and possible infernum to free up for newer players not quite ready for shine still slotting/collecting gear to prepare for tooling. (Sorry for the long post)
Would like to see the administrations feedback on this if all possible, since as of now the data we have collected almost solely has been from us players thanks guys - Driller
