To the wonderful developers of this wonderful Trove, I am writing this letter to you.

I've been saving my Sparkling Keys for a while now, thinking I'd use them someday. Being lazy, I just kept collecting them... I was so happy to see that you buffed the keys. Even a normal player like me could now own mystic gear. Thank you for buffing them.

Yesterday, I managed to obtain around 5000 Soul of the Depths using all my keys. My airbags have flattened from sitting for hours and hours. However, I noticed that my Depths Core amount was almost equal to my Soul of the Depths amount.

I would be very happy if I could obtain the amount of Depths Core required for the Mystic Gear upgrade. If the Depths cores were x4, I would own a full Mystic gear today. That would make me very happy. I would buy them if they were tradable, but unfortunately they aren't :<

This process is over for me, but I want things to be better for future Trovians. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could increase the amount of depths cores. A Trovian who loves you all very much. Take care.

note for trovians who disagree with my ideas: I hope someone with a strange name and rank 20 mastery gives you 100k depths cores

No

Have heard that deepstone is the main problem now

Ah ok

blissful lichen
#

I’m still of the position that mystic shouldn’t be any easier until they add a new tier

I guess the white keys give more but why would you rely on those

#

obelisk farms already trivialize the mystic grind. We don't need more buffs thank you

#

you can literally farm hundreds of cores an hour

unreal ermine
#

holy i was not aware they give cores

blissful lichen
#

you could maybe max a set in a week during invasion week

#

as long as you get groups of 8 people consistently

unreal ermine
#

and the core drops from that are not affected by monday right?

blissful lichen
unreal ermine
#

also do you get souls i know they give mystic shards

blissful lichen
#

the drops are still good on all days

I think it took me 3 months to collect my sparkling keys

#

Unless it's Invader week and you don't have a good team, obelisk isn't even an option

blissful lichen
#

there's no excuse for a pc player to be struggling with mystic

#

I'm switch player

blissful lichen
#

Why were you complaining about the marketplace before

half yoke
#

there should be an option to trade 100.000 krakenshell for 1.000 cores

#

anyways ppl say its 300 hrs with good host
i farmed likely 70% solo so iam near 500 hrs
also spend like 1000 hrs ingame in 2025

its doable you just need to leave your comfort zone a lil
you cant hope to have good time and be done in 1 day like shifting through turtoial worlds

Actually, it's not just one day... it's about playing regularly for 3 months and accumulating keys. Then, using them all in one day with two really great hosts.

If you're a free-to-play player, the easiest way to get this set is by accumulating keys for months. Waiting 3 months for an endgame item is quite reasonable, in my opinion.

If you spend money, I don't think you have to wait 3 months. You can buy these keys directly.

The problem is, if I'm going to have 5000 souls at the end of those 3 months, I expect to have at least 10000 cores as well, especially with the marketplace closed for months.

But at the end of the farm, I had an equal number of cores to the soul. I'm writing this to reminder of the amount needed for the whole set:

Depths core: 19,500
Soul of the Depths: 5,025
Deepstone: 56,550

Well, what can I say if players think it's "necessary" to spend 600-700 hours on an item set? Hopefully, everyone who applauds this kind of grind will be rewarded with the necessity of spending 6000 hours on a Mystic 5 set

blissful lichen
#

it doesn't even take half as many hours as you're suggesting it does

#

It didn't even take that many hours before they made any buffs to mystic resources

#

If it's taking you 700 hours to max a set then you're doing something very very wrong

peak pasture
#

This is exactly the time you'll waste without the marketplace and sparkling keys. When the Marketplace was open, bots were just speeding up the process. Have you ever tried harvesting 55k deepstones? Or are you that out of touch with the game?

blissful lichen
#

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

300 hours is the very upper limit to how much time it would take to max a mystic set in 2026

#

I'm being very generous with that number

#

most people will max in even less time

🤔 Thing is people forget that getting mystic gear is not mandatory it is a choice you can easily still grind easily in d15 even with not the best fully upgraded gems and even with c5 gear upgrading to mystic is a choice and you shouldn't expect to it to be so easy to obtain or quick to upgrade. Overtime I just see players asking for even more easier ways to upgrade to mystic when the devs have already implemented many changes to make it a little easier. I guess you will never please every player when they change things.

mossy bolt
#

The deva have made it easier, yes. But it still remains a fact that the rate they buffed souls, compared to the rate they buffed cores made it an extreme imbalance between those 2 resources

zealous fern
#

I agree with that but that is where trunks come in handy the amount you can obtain from them is much better then it used to be. You just need to go through the questline to get the ability to start obtaining them.

#

I just think if they buffed the resources too much to be able to upgrade mystic it would just make it pointless since it would just be too easy to obtain. Just think in the devs mindset is that they try to implement things for the end game and if its easy to get done within a short amount of time then it wouldn't be worth it. They want to add stuff that can keep the players keep playing its all about those numbers. I'm glad they even added changes so its a less annoying to obtain but there has to be a line where if its too easy then why add it. It for sure does take a lot of time consuming to obtain or upgrade but it can be done overtime since its not mandatory to be able to access all of the other end game content.

mossy bolt
#

Mystic isn't worth it anyways anymore ever since they introduced mystic gems.

Also trunks dont make that much of a difference for cores compared to the souls overflow.
Because they generally buffed souls, also from trunks, they shafted the core rate from them. If they hadn't touched trunk drops since souls are already well too easy from other sources, it would have been at least slightly better

zealous fern
#

Oh I totally agree mystic is not worth it. Just having it is just a flex that you can clear a little quicker then someone who uses c5 with close to best gems you can easily do all the content in the game with c5. Even when they shaft core drops it can still be easily obtainable from other sources not just farming 5*'s its a choice to have and if people are wanting to put in the time to grind for it so be it. But it shouldn't have to be buffed just because of the process taking awhile to be obtained...

blissful lichen
#

They absolutely ruined mystic gear in the radiant pathfinder update

#

Buffing obelisk core drop rates and making souls an absolute joke

mossy bolt
#

Ah right that was the busted update. I remember now

I like my hamburger to be finished at the same time as my drink. I don't want to be left with a huge hamburger after I finish my drink. I don't want there to be a huge size difference between them because I think I'll get maximum satisfaction if I can finish both at the same time.

Obelisk farm is a pretty good option during Invader week, especially if you need gem shards and cores. With a really good group, we can get an average of 120 cores per hour. For one set, we need to farm continuously for 162 hours without disrupting the average time. Of course, I'm not even considering that we need to be online in certain biomes for this farming to be effective.

I just want one more option: to actually farm cores using the keys. When I use all the keys, instead of getting 5000 souls and 5000 cores, I want to get at least 5000 souls and 10000 cores. I want to see that huge gap closed

If souls are somewhat hard to obtain again it’ll be even

#

Problem solved

On NS it's horrible, I think even top 1 doesn't have max set yet

#

We did not have the high trunk rates, we don't have people to farm in groups of 8, it's just a lonely hundreds of hour long grind at this point, for a bit more pr and light

blissful lichen
# dire hill Agreed

Are you agreeing with the part on the top because that’s the part he’s highlighting because he disagrees with it

#

Also top 1 on NS has max mystic

#

Agony is like 59127 last time I checked

cobalt mesa
#

Agony is a noob

#

Whatever max mr on switch is he’s at it along with 5 5 5 mystic

dire hill
#

Mr yeah, but last time ik of was like 4* mystic

blissful lichen
#

He presumably also grinded at least most of it before any of the buffs

dire hill
#

But even then, who else is max mystic on NS

#

Like no one

dire hill

50/50

#

The active player base is small but there is no such things as faster grinding due to group farming

blissful lichen
#

A big chunk of the NS community are actual children so it makes sense

dire hill
#

Most, even delves are solo

dire hill
#

It's like maybe 50 ppl who really grind

#

Used to be more

#

But they killed NS

blissful lichen
#

On ps it was close to 1.1b

#

Those people who really grind clearly didn’t grind enough

dire hill
#

Used to get like 400m or so

blissful lichen
#

I was at like 500-600m xp at the end of that week and I didn’t even play for half of it and also did most of it solo

#

To me it just looks like nobody is grinding NS at all

dire hill
#

Bc there is no content for us

blissful lichen
#

20fps high gameplay is not fun so I’m surprised anyone plays switch at all

dire hill
#

Missing st. Qubeslics from 2025, missing Christmas event, missing cranny items, often behind on CC items, miss out on luxion regularly

#

And when you complete a dungeon it grinds to a halt for a second

dire hill
#

Wish I could export to PC tbh

blissful lichen
#

🫧 🐠

#

Pc is filled with cheaters and has a barely functioning economy

#

Console is dead and has a barely functioning economy

#

Switch is switch

dire hill
#

Switch mp is dead too

blissful lichen
#

At least you can sell cores

dire hill
#

It's like a live event when there are cred pouches

dire hill
blissful lichen
#

10k each is what the non inflated price should be

dire hill
#

I get enough from stellars tho

#

I need cores not flux

blissful lichen
#

Stellar farming is probably insane on switch cause it has the least inflated economy

dire hill
#

Yes it is

#

I get like 1.2m/h when I farm d14

#

CP are like 600-700k

#

But getting ur hands on basic material is insane

#

Like there is no fae duat etc
