I don't see any posts about that...i remember one but i think it went to the bottom of the posts...
Everyone knows that 3.1k iL requires you to have legendary arti equipment and rank 9's enchants...this is getting too much and too expensive for the average mmorpg player who are limited to playing lower item level dungeons and farming for only one piece of the new pve gear...

At least that's the only way I can square the decisions being made here. The devs made a cool new dungeon, knowing the community was demanding it. In order to extend the amount of "engaging play time" associated with that content, the devs are using a very high bar of entry encouraging players to enjoy many fine hours of interacting with relics in order for them to achieve the coveted entry criteria for FBI.
Sarcasm aside, FBI is really hard. I don't think that lowering the iLvl req would be wise right now. Similar to how running other dungeons close to the min iLvl proves challenging, I think FBI is even tougher in comparison to the entry requirements. If they lowered the bar to entry, it would mostly result in a whole lot more failed runs (there are plenty now anyway) and a whole lot more frustration from players who feel that because they meet the min iLvl req they should be able to easily complete the content.
Many of us with over 3.1k toons dont even run it, even after we got it unlocked, other then a 1-2 times a week for fun.
if you go in and search the game, you will see 1-2 runs at most at any one time, somtimes none, AT the height of the weekend, I saw 5 last saturday night.
I understand this is a hard concept to gather in a world of MMOs (and a world in general) that cater to everyone by trying to include everyone in everything. Perhaps they will make a 2k version of this dungeon so you can experience it....
Please keep the requirements the way they are. Not trying to sound elitist, but a lot of the people running this dungeon passed the 3.1k mark a LOOOOONG time ago, and deserve something to show for it.
You can't get there immediately, but that's kind of the point. Their whole monetization strategy boils down to "pay to accelerate" so starting to give you some long term objectives is kind of a sensible move.
That said, if you play smart, you could start from scratch and get a character geared up to 3.1k over the course of say... a year. If you had VIP it would be faster than that, probably by half. Do you think that's unreasonable? Especially with the incoming BO changes, it's clear that they are trying to bring some variety back into the boss fights. People might have to wake up a bit from their comas...
Some lack in gear some in everfrostresistance.
Buying Frostborn gear and spending time in the chat for grouping, as though running this dungeon in 60min (sone do better, some need 2 hours) is a lot of time regarding the reward being low level. NWO the grind/time ratio is pretty bad, as if not the worst in the shole game.
So there is near no need to farm tons of Lanolin, Voninblood etc. except for the Chausses/Chaincoat set and the boons, wich can be done by doing dailies.
i agree with the grind thing, not with reaching 3.1K.
for me (for example) the everfrost requirement is worst. That means you are going to waste like 400k ads for piece, hence 2M ads plus the time wasted for 80k voninblood (which we can easily estimates in like 1 M ads). I would have a char at 3k with 3M ads.
Unless you dont have any tradebars, I can't see this costing you more than 50k AD or so, plus either a grind for lanolin for your boots or some spending on the AH for it. You should have more than enough blood at this point to get the gear to t3 once.
Doesn't seem that hard to me, but then I have tradebars to burn and a lot of AD stored, so it didn't impact me much.
I will agree the entire game is too grindy and the new campaign isn't helping. You are doing something very wrong. If you are farming you own RP, you are wasting time. Farm AD, and use the AD to get stuff off the AH. If you can cap at 36k a day, thats 4 days to buy a stack of Lesser Resonances stones, which will give any artifact a huge bump. Trying to grind them out with hoard enchantments or whatever wont get you there. Leadership is also a must....
For ther record, I have ground out most of the RP for my gear rather than buy it from the AH. I have bought stacks of enchants in the past for artifacts but never used the AH to refine up my artifact gear/weapons. All but one of my three characters now has a full set of Legendary gear and Mythic Artifacts. I am working on the final piece of Legendary Gear for the final character and have only got to get the last artifact ready to upgrade to Mythic before working on the other ingredients. But I have been playing and grinding for almost 2 years >:)
Add Pants / Shirt, ring, potion, soup, 1 boon and you are at 28%
Even if not, with Reso from leadership you really should have for one, with 3 months...
(Not saying that RP is easy to get, but this sounds way to low)
Given that it takes 4,645,200 RP to upgrade a waist from 1 to 60 that's the equivalent of 930 lesser stones of res (during double AD). He claimed he was farming for 3 months. That means all he had to do was get on average 10 lesser stones a day or 25000 RP a day (50k during double). Between leadership, hoards, farming, etc that is easy to do in any combination of resonance stones, peridots, aquamarines, etc.
After 3 months he should have enough to take more than 1 item to legendary unless he was only playing for an hour a day.
