    I tried to upgrade 3 rank 12s. I used 138 preservation wards and have two tank 12s. Its still somewhat cheaper than using Coalescent but idk.

    I have lost over 80 wards to made r12. Better buy coal with trade bars (or from AH/invoking). Im using wards for making r11 and under.

    Statistically its 33 piece of preservation needed.
    Yes sometimes its only 5-10 tries is needed but sometimes its 50-80 pieces is needed. A Coalescent worth 75 but even cheaper if you buy it for AD so Idk

    The last 2 "guess how many times for 3% results before I start" session in our TS was 4 and 10.

    The price on coal wards has come down, and it can take a lot of pres wards to make the shiny. I went through a LOT of pres wards before I switched, though. 5% (usually) and above I use pres wards.

    Very time consuming as well. Especially if you buy your pres wards in stacks of 10 or 20 at a time. I certainly don't go into one of these sessions expecting to use 60+ pres wards.

    Thats true. Its very long time. You can farm unions in DR while someone is finally managed to finish r12s it with preservation.

    About being time consuming.. Thats a part of the game too, its not like you always want to run back ad forth.
    Btw usually crafting a rank 12 from rank 11 takes less than 60 preservation.. I mean usually

    After spending hours and up to 80 preservation wards/ R 12, I switched to coal.
    Chars: CW, DC, GF, GWF, HR and TR.

    I used 100 preservation wards to upgrade my 2 artifacts from legendary to mythic, and it was 5% chance. So If I were you I would use coalescent ward for sure.

    I wanted to use Coals, but I had few BoA Preservation wards so I thought I'd use them to test my luck and free a slot in equipment. Result: 1st r11->r12 on 3rd try, 2nd one on 1st try. Yeah, thats probably the biggest RNG luck I ever had in this game - I didnt have the AD for SMOPs for next enchantments and some BoA wards are still left. Anyway - I stick to the Preservation Wards its statistically better (~33 wards vs ~80 wards AD worth if you buy a Coal) and the only downside is that there definitely are going some enchantments that'll need 100-200 wards to upgrade - like probably any of us had "that" r7->r8 upgrade that required 30+ wards with 25% chance

    I have better luck with low percentage than high percentage. My 5% usually can be done within 10 times. I have even done that in the first try more than once. However, for 30% and 40%, it often took me more than 10 tries.

    Depends on the person.
    With my luck pres wards are statistically more expensive.
    And coal is not expensive at all - We are back to mod 1 pricing.

    It seems I hit a controversial topic spot! :)
    Btw I use coalescent now because of the shorter usage.
