Patch 2.3 Preliminary Notes

[ArchDizzle]

Yep sounds like it will be participation based and on top of the bonus rewards for killing the marks you have bills for just killing them regularly with no bill will still reward you with seals/tomes. Very happy about that.

[Ratatapa]

Now im pretty sure the oil sand will cost a lot of there is no limit on seals

Or else people like me could fully gear in almost a week

[Alkar]

Well looking at that ss the ilvl 70 body costs 1000 seals....

[Ratatapa]

and that it's just I70?

Why would they put I70 gear pricey?

[Korialstrasz]

Glamours, just like crystal tower gear.

[Wulfgang]

Time for guessing game! Price is right rules ofc:

UNID Tombstone 3,000 seals
Sand of Time 6,000 seals

[Toth]

Unfortunately that huge amount seems right...

[Katlan]

All the Hunts sound like is XI camping w/o the claim system. Gonna be camping for respawns 24/7 along w/ the entire server. inb4 21-24 respawn on Elite mobs

[Taint]

I think it looks like solid open world content. There are only so many ways of doing it and this looks good to me. I like the hunt scholars will help us find the mobs and that there will be community shouts/LSs for the Elite mobs.

Odin and Behe were cool for a while when the server would drop everything to fight them, sounds like there will be more of that going on.

That is the biggest issue


To reduce this "lag" they should get like 4-5 elite bills per week but you can only get 1 elite bill of the 4-5

That would make people go to different zones and ease the stress a bit

#1 Tomestone
#2 UATs are CT2 drops, they didn't say you can buy those.


my guess
3k Oil
5k Sands

[Katlan]

Just as a clarification, you can only get allied notes if you have the actual hunt/mark activated, right? So the only thing you get by helping out is a chance at w/e they drop?

[Ratatapa]

No you get notes without bills

You just get more if you have bill

[Gokulo]

Fabulous armor. I hope Uldah's version is not ugly as fuck as usual.

Yeah, just re-read the notes. It's just oil and sands it seems. Changing guess to 1.5k Alexandrite / 3k Oil / 6k Sand!

1500 for Alex would be a bit harsh IMO but 3k and 6k are probably very close to correct.

I'm hoping its 500 per Alex but the i70 gear prices are pretty scary unless Elite marks spawn very rapidly.

[Niiro]

Odin and Behe were cool for a while

[Reve]

That armor does look very cool though.

[Fievel]

Anxious to see the pricing of the only items we really care about, and how long it takes to get notes. On a side note though, as others have said that armor the NPC is wearing looks great, I need some of that.

[Sephiroth]

They aren't going to hand a sand or oil to you after defeating just a handful of elite marks, you'd gear out in a week.

I'm expecting more like 15k for an Oil, 20k for a Sand and 3k for an Alex.
