Runes of Magic US / AU

yeah i would love to see those become a permanent addition to the item shop myself . not really sure why an item like this is not a permanent cash shop item . when i really need one i can never buy it but when i dont need it any more then it appears in the shop .

I wouldnt be mad if Owenstein was trading Attribute Purifying Stones either . Probably to expensive an item for him to be handing out tho so i will settle on them becoming a perm item in the cash shop :p

I always thought for the price of this stone that it would clean your gear but give you a Mana Stone with the stats removed. So if you had a T6 piece of gear Temple/Tomb stat'd, you could clean it and have a T6 stone w/ 6 Temple/Tomb stats on it to do with as you wish.... I mean for 199 diamonds I figured it would be a nice bonus.

I honestly think attribute purifying stones are one of the most idioticly expensive things in this game. I'm paying 200 diamonds for a stone that does nothing but clean a couple stats off my gear? Honestly?

I use them, because I have to if I want to stat right, to clean off the single icky stat that comes with most OD good gear. But, I still think it's stupid how expensive they are for how little they really do.

I guess that's sort of the point, though. I don't like it, but I pay for it because I need it.

i actually like the idea of having them in the Item Shop permently. Ill have a CM look into this..thank you for the suggestion Skulldragons.

so having a say... frost of fear + 5 crimson/bunker stats isn't good enough? man, you should see some of the stats people have that can clear these instances.

there's a marked difference between statting more than enough and being overboard.

Example:

11,433 Stamina
11,999 Wisdom
165,869 Health Points
73,610 Mana Points
120,200 Physical Defense
103,410 Magical Defense

on a priest, you need nowhere near that to clear content >.> you're a beast in pvp, i'm sure, but you won't need to change gear or stats for probably 2-3 more expansions except maybe weapon for content clear. i tank the hall of balls (all four adds) with half your stats o.o

my opinion on that is more of: keep them limited, but make it possible to pull gear with mems, ALL the gear, without crap like mp/mdef. let things like int/wis be on healer/dps accessories. have healer gear come with wis/def. have physical melee gear come with str/def or dex/def, have tank gear come with def/patt. don't force it off mem bought gear, force it off instance randoms =/

Personally I'd like to see APS on sale from Owenstein at some point. I never really understood why they were so expensive in the first place, when they basically provide the same effect as a PFS, only in reverse.

agreed. reduce the price and make them available all the time. i did notice this weekend with the new patch that they put them in the item shop. i think they did this on purpose seeing as how the GC gear is still the best option for most people.

they make castle gear the best stuff to wear, introduce new stats, sell APS on item shop when new patch goes live. its all about their bottom line folks. they sell them in packs of 3 because they know we will buy them, and they charge an arm and a leg for the same reason. this is all facilitated by supply and demand, they dont supply them very often, we demand them all the time. control the supply, control the demand, preserve the company's bottom line=money.

i dont see them becoming permanent unless not doing it hurts their bottom line. and since they control supply and demand (new stats, but new gear isnt as good) i dont see this happening. call me a pessimist.

Probably because we all need them. Makes sense for higher sales...

Reason why my Vahtos' set is not stated is simple, I can't get past the point that I have to pay 500 dias for 3 piece of gear that is level 18, 30 and 40 to clean some IV and V stats to properly state it?!

Why can't they opt for price of puries only, not sure. Or other thing would be to have stats removed for gold in game. (just like we remove runes, higher the rune, higher the price of removal)

What do you think about that option if possible?

I'll join the chorus on the price. While I don't mind much the limited availability, the price of cleaners is much too high. If a piece of gear has a bad stat on it, that automatically reduces its value by 13 mil which is price of cleaner at today's dia cost. For top of the line gear selling for 150-170 mil, that is not a big factor. For lower priced gear it is.

Yes, you dont have to clean it and you can live with bad stat. Chances are half of it is still good. Still, to do it properly, you need to clean it and that hurts the up and coming players not rolling in gold to the point where 13 mil is minor expense.

Maybe Owen could sell some. Those and ABLs are normally out of his range, but hey... they could be sold with some tweaking.
