Give Misty Red Gems NPC sale value

[ebon sedge]

With the rapid decline of this material's value, please give it an npc sale value so it can be sold along awakened strength fragments/crystals and geas materials

I would also be open to incorporating them as a barter material

They could also be ego food granting 10k xp each since they are a gem

I would also be open to synthing 3 together to make a different color mrg to make your mrg stacks look prettier but keep the high chance to return a common leather instead of course

[hearty wing]

yes, many tech mats range from 10~30k as NPCsales
Magical Mist Crystals are 50k, and every other Demo/Ruin Mat are worth 100k to NPCs
but Vengeance Mats, Briogh Crystals, Red Misty Gems, Kraken Hearts, and the new Pers Mats are worth nothing to them
should atleast put them to some form of NPC value instead of just throwing everything to the floor

I don't think incorporating Tech Duinn materials for barter is a great idea personally since Commerce is intended to be an alternative to combat.

But everything else? Yeah. Those materials could do with an alternate use or some kind of value.
Or at least an easier way to distribute them to players who need them.

They did incorporate demonic materials into barter so that was kind of why I assumed so. It just seems like MRG will massively outpace Veng mats for pers mats and will continue to cause a pile up. Probably is too soon for barter right now but maybe in the future when they pile up more and more if no other steps are taken to reduce that

(They actually removed Demonic Materials from bartering!)

[ebon sedge]

oh sick then maybe just all those others esp I think ego xp would be fine. if there were more items that were like bulk ego xp would be cool

[next marten]

Perhaps more craftable items
Potions that assist in Techs, or limit breaking weekly Briogh caps for faster progression for the players who need it.
And for players who don't need it, incorporate them into fashion crafts?

[ebon sedge]

yeah it's sad to see a mat rapidly decline in value with no real uses

mrg are useful but you get veng mats and pers mats so slowly that pers weapons will never keep up and people only need so many rev weaps esp since none of the 3 you can make have arcanas and are not often used. I just fear they won't fix this issue until way down the line then pull a special upgrade recovery essence and make some item need 100 mrg each

Aren't infernals/mutants still barter mats

[next marten]

mutants can be crafted. Infernals are used to make Sturdy Loops which can be acquired via PTJ now

[scenic atlas]

Crafted with what :)
My point is, that there are still things to craft obtainable generally thru methods of combat, low bar or not

[next marten]

Oh u rite.
I do think Misty Gems are on a bit of a high bar though, since Shyllien materials can be acquired through field combat.

[scenic atlas]

I think field combat could potentially be a bigger gate due to paywall or super extended times where you just have no drops :(
