Runes of Magic US / AU

Depends, really. Puris are now permanently at 19 diamonds each - 14 dias each or so on sale. However, perfect jewels are no longer available for diamonds. Ruby shop prices have been tripled (except for perfect +6, which has had its price reduced from 150 rubies down to 80), and ruby bonuses no longer available for most sales. However, the easy mode in new dungeon is very fun, and most guilds do farm it (about as hard as RT). It drops clean yellow X stats (+122/+122), as well as clean yellow Remains stats (original instance stat). We've had an Int/HP remains drop in easy last night, which has always been only for hardmode before.

If you don't want to farm the X stats, you can always get them for 300k on the AH. Do a search for lv 75 accessories, blue rarity, and you should find it.

So really, some parts are easier, other parts are harder. Getting fully statted has never been as easy in RoM during the 2 years that I've been here, but plussing is just a pain.

X stats are not 122 based.

It never was that expensive to be viable. While at the very end of endgame you do need quite a bit, for most of it, they are shortcut to buy power.

Like the 1st reply said, puries are down to 19 diamonds a pop as opposed to their original 50 diamond price. Makes for FAR cheaper and easier statting, especially with the X stats released in the last chapter. The gear that these X stats comes from are Bind on Equip so you can choose whether you want to sell or use the stats, making them a viable income source.

However, KBN is practically the only instance run anymore on Osha meaning that the stats are being devalued quickly and there's a very slow market to sell. While these new X stats make it easy for lower levels to stat cheaply, there are just so many of them in AH that they don't sell.

On a brighter note, these X stats purify as tier 5 manastones making tiering 1 step easier.

Quoted from "vfwiffo;575441"

X stats are not 122 based.

Darn, I always get those numbers wrong. But they're somewhere around there, and is still pretty decent.

They are 114 based, just slightly less than Hero's 116 base.

Statting is insanely easy now for midgamers that are not yet already in hero/glorious/bygone/eternity. But plussing is a major pain, since even though ruby items were reduced in price, it's still ridiculously hard to GET rubies period now that sale items no longer give rubies.

Personally, I would suggest not coming back. But the game has gotten slightly cheaper.
