Go to the inventor
Put in Polished Emerald +8 +8 +8
Have some iron
Either very low chance of success or very high chance to fail/break
Get out Refined Polished Emerald +16 +16 +16
Or any other simple idea to get some use of those thousands and thousands of Emeralds or similar Components.
I am referring to crafting various pieces of equipment that do not have fixed stats like relics’ completion bonuses where the extra +skill is randomly selected from a list. You could be rolling dozens to get the desired combination, consuming many emeralds in the process.
Got it. I am always searching for some crafting possibiltiy where i can get rid of those thousands of basic mats in a meaningful way. But there are not many of them i would say. And now, if am not wrong, the componet drop rate stayed the same while they drop in one piece already completed. So we even get more of them.
There are only 3 materials that i am short of.
Chtonic Seals of Binding
Ugdenbloom
Aether Crystals, but only because i did alot of blue item dismantling for scrab and rare materials, which i then stopped because its not worth it.
So only the first two mentioned above are the things i have to farm explicitely.
But i think i forgot to think about one basic aspect, if it comes to argue about those masses of low/basic tier components like those you mentioned. I have 900 hours and 6 LVL 100 chars.
Thats eventually not a good point of view to talk about abundance of such materials in general. There are for sure players who played more hours, but a bigger part, will be below that playtime i guess.
