S grade Armors

Hello, I've been looking at S Armors/Weapons and found this:

-Armor requires a lot less "common materials" than weapon (this is understandable because for a set you need 4 or 5 pieces (helmet,gloves,chest,boots) against 1 weapon).

But, when it comes to "special materials" (parts, etc..) and recipes, it's not the same.
Each Set Piece requires 30-40 parts and 3 recipes as a weapon, which means you must get about 120-160 parts and 12 recipes for the whole set (even more if you're going for Imperial Crusader).

Even if you're thinking about donating for those materials/recipes is not balanced, because it's the same price for a Draco Bow Shaft than an IC part. (same goes for recipes).

In conclusion, I suggest that the total of parts/recipes should be the same between weapons and between a whole set (for example 40 draco shafts for a DB and 10-10-10-10 parts for a Draco Set).

A special balance should be made for IC to make it the same price as Draconic (perhaps 8-8-8-8- smilie

.

Thank you for reading!

It may become cheaper and cheaper in time like now is A/B grade but it will not have one static cheap price.
I'm thinking to make S grade cheaper by steps i.e. first armors then weapons and then grand boss jewelry.
But it will depend on top player PVP count or something else.

I agree with you, but perhaps I'm not making myself understood, I'm not asking to make anything cheaper, I'm just pointing out that right now, S armors are way much more expensive than S weapons.
I'm not sure if that's the way you want it or if you want to balance 1 S weapon = 1 S Armor Set.

For buy valakas i need 20k adena... it's too much i think but it's ok if you think it's A VALAKAS smilie

About armors and weapons i didn't see the adena you need to buy them from shop... but from pvp you get bags all the time!!! Plus we need more adverstiment of the server because we have low community!!! We have to do smth about it!!!

And please fix the vote passive skills! Change the sites if they can't solve your problem :S

Please, stick to the topic...

I don't think that S grade armors are much more expensive.
Materials types and counts are like on retail recipes just increased parts and recipes count.
Anyway I'm thinking to involve S grade into dynamic discount system.

What do you mean?

But if you want to donate for recipes/materials, 32 apigas would be enough for an S weapon, instead, for an IC set, you should donate 160 apigas.. that's a huge difference in my opinion.

(I'm talking about special mats + recipes ).

I mean that now B/A grade becomes cheaper when top PVP player gains more PVP and I'm thinking to this system add also S grade.

Well if your calculation is correct that difference is too big.
I will check it and maybe I will increase armors parts reward count.

Thank you! Please consider the difference between IC and Draconic/Major (amount of parts).

Only the top player? and top pvp player? or top server player? i don't get it :S

How much cheaper items will be depends on top count of PVP

I've just checked the prices on regular shop, the same occurs (1bow shaft = 75a, 1IC part = 75a). But for bow you only need 34 and for IC set you need 34x5 = 170.
