Yes, that is the main purpose of Shields, to make Recons. Which, yes, begs the question, why not sell recons and cut out the middleman, especially since the matching Advance rune is not available for sale.
Only excuse I see is that advance is still makeable, as far as we know. Shield is not. So, if people want to make recons, they CAN. But at these prices, I don't see it happening.
Back on main topic. Usually, there are good sales and bad sales. Many people pick on bad sales and rant and rave to the point where they can be assumed to be incapable of civil discussion, at which point they are ignored. Should I be surprised how many think that their communication is more effective is they come across as utter lunatics? Probably not.
But, there is second component to this sale. Gashas are normally the focus of displeasure, but those might not be all bad. I'd like to know if the high fail rate reported by CammoXD is typical or just a run of bad luck. So, once they are out, I'd appreciate someone commenting on this subject.
Finally, AU and EU page was edited with this:
This might be decent if the prices are good. Anyone wants to pop over and check?
Edit: Fine... I'll do it myself. Seems like audience participation in this forum is limited to whining. Not unexpected.
Advanced jewels x5 = 59 dias for armor/acc, 79 weapons.
Enhanced jewels x5 = 99 dias for armor/acc, 149 weapon
Also available in token shop - 236/316 for Advanced, 396/596 for Enhanced. Not good prices, since 1 dia=20 tokens, and these are 40x of dia cost, not 20x.
Note to GF: Can you guys actually not make up terminology for once?? They are not "Improved Faith Jewels", they are "Enhanced Faith Jewels". It is not a "Wall VIII" gasha, it is "Block VIII" gasha - because it has a chance to give you Block runes, not the non-existent Wall runes. Things like that make the accusations that the people who make the sales do not play the game sound a lot more plausible.
I know i am late to repsond but thanks!
I had seen the post about wanting to put shells on sale and i think i asked then and never got an answer. It just seems like giving us cloth to buy instead of just selling us clothes. Yea we can use the cloth for something else but most likely will be used for clothes. Always upset my harmony
As for the sale, i like it, +16, cheaper +12. Still no perfects but i have had pretty good luck with +ing today. The gotchas, i havent dared those yet and i bought no shell runes.
I hope that is constructive to the sales team. If they had Recon V-VII i would probably buy a few for alts. That is for the future since my alts arent so well geared to pull Aggro from my gfs tank yet
