reajust the elevation shard rate

[pallid lark]

HI,

elevation shards are rare and it's ok since it's powerful. but can it be reajust a little? I think they should come more often in chest, as often as research blueprints.

thanks!

They are already very common, very easy to get with event (more than 100 every week). They can also be easily crafted, and even obtained in chests when opened with gems, or obtained if you spam Tasks (especially since there is no delay for a new fortune reward after buying). A lot of players have already finished a lot of lines and are now capped by the blueprints rather than the shards.

Also, chests are farmable as you get lot of keys per week by farming bosses.

can we go back a sec, finished a lot of lines, how many would that be and for how long have they been playing?

[steep crane]

I believe that if you only get shards by playing events + opening chests with key, playing for 2 years would put all lines at 51 (which is around 1000 ~ 1500 shards per line).
If you actually farm gems and open chests with gems, you can "finish" all lines way faster. It all depends how much you farm gems

I unlocked every craft, I have 2000+ blueprint but I never have elevation shards... I often have blueprints in chest or fortune reward but almost never elevation shards.
You have more luck than me!

Uhm maybe i missed something? is elevation shard the ascension shard?

[thorn pier]

yep

he's french or spanish or some roman language cuz iirc it's elevation shard in their language

Then in this sense i disagree with rebalance. Its one of the few individual leveling details of the game that maintains the need to keep you playing.

Also do solo bounty for slot machine and reroll

there is no way that 2 years of play gets you all lines to 51. I've been playing 3.5 years and have two at 54 and one at 51, most of the rest are somewhere between 33 and 45. maybe when that initial assessment was done there were less lines to use ascension shards on?

[steep crane]

I’ve been playing since 2.5 years, and I have one at 90 and 80% of them at 51, the missing ones are the new ones. I also didn’t farm them at all, never opened a chest with gems. I also never bought a pack.

[ashen zodiac]

then I'm very unlucky at getting ascension shards

[steep crane]

I did fuse research scrolls to get shards at some point, though I don’t remember If I did this a lot or just a few

[ashen zodiac]

have you been Royal Merchant for any part of the 2.5 years?

[steep crane]

Yes, that might explain the difference, I had RM the whole time.

[ashen zodiac]

ok, that is a big diff

In this assesment there wasn't weekly events origionally either. I am pretty sure it was thought of.

That too you have the ability to craft them
