Surplus Equipment for Guild Coffers

relkindx

The amount of needed Surplus equipment seems too much. Especially given that items don't stack. If you aren't going to lower the limit, at least allow that any epic item can be added to the guild coffer. Right now it seems only certain purple items can go in. Make it so any purple item can be given. If you are trying to do a resource clean, at least let me clean up everything.

I agree with this. They made it so difficult to get epic gear or AD, and they want us to throw it in the coffer? Because at the amount we currently need, the only way to get it done is to farm T2 dungeons for the loot at the end. At LEAST increase the amount of points you get from green and blue items.

Which purple items are you having problems at donating? It should accept any item that is for at least lvl 60, so levelling items that have no level requirements doesn't count.

I do agree the AD and surplus requirements are far too high. Even in a guild like mine, they seem to be moving quite slow.

A free but rather 'long-winded' method is to farm and refine Black Ice and use them to purchase Epic BI gears from the IWD store (cheapest epic cost 6k).

Just sharing an alternative though some may find this too cumbersome.

The road is a long and painful one to try to fulfil the Surplus Equipment requirement...

Well it seems like they wanted to time and resource gate the SH. They did not realize that some guilds have unlimited resources and will probably have rank 20 ASAP with building times, while the rest of us may never get it.lol

Agreed. Much has been said about this but it seems the voice of the smaller guilds doesn't reach the ears of the devs...

Build times alone will take 3 months. I think it takes roughly 1 day less than the level. Assuming a max on level 9 right now...thats 8 days..9 days 10 11 12 13 14 15 days till 16. Thats 82 days.

Getting to 16 without significant changes by the end of 2015 will be tough for all but the biggest wallets.

The surplus equipment req was created when gear dropped like candy...and wasnt updated to match all the kneejerks.

I think they should make the surplus value to be the same as its salvage value. So then it'll actually be worth putting seals of element blue items into the coffer. At least make them worth more than some random level 60 blue item that you identified.

The only Purples I've had trouble with are both kinds of Mulholrand.

If you're level 8 it will take 99 days (92 from level 9) just to get the Guild Hall to level 16 + 192 days (more than 6 months) to upgrade the various plots to allow advancement, not counting the time to get the materials in the Guild Coffer.

There is a purple problem. Purple professionals are worth 12500 points of Labor. Purple armor is worth 810 points of Surplus Equipment.

surplus equipment takes way too much ad in this ad starved economy - greens seem to need identifying and epics cost you salvage

umsche

Nah, that's not a big problem. Purples refine for the same amount than blues.

So you refine your blues from T1 dungeons and give the mimic your purples. I find Sharandar and tyranny voucher way more difficult to farm, gated at around 800points/toon/day

romotheone

just like umsche said:

refine blue
donate purple

killergilnyc1

i think green should give 20 points and blue give 50-100 points. purple should give 1000 points.

its hard because most people salvage the purple gear for 3-8k AD (way more valuable) than putting it in coffer for 810 "points".
