You get 1 blue mark and 1 purple mark in each of the 3 chests evertime you complete Master SVA. Legendary Marks are only RNG. So to get new weapons to purple requires only 5 completions of Master SVA
You need to farm or buy keys for two of the chests?
I wont give Money anymore and will skip this Mod 10-10.5 as well. Looks like these guys wants to push away all their customers. INSANE GRIND. Why don't just outright sell their new Shiny OP Weapons.. 20 Millions for each.(40k zen) ( an average Legendary Mount)($400 Dollars) I would rather save for 20 millions than grind for 3 months.
This is my problem too. I play an hour or two at night and when I see, for example, voninblood requirements in the tens of thousands and then I see the rewards for quests/relics being 50 vblood.. That just kills any desire to play I may have had.
Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream.

4h at Somi farming HE's in high ilvl instance in 2 days and get 1 Turtle Moult and no purle. How sweet it is...

I stopped trying after the first week, when I ran about 100 hes and got 5 lanolins, my average return is about 1 lanolin every 17 or so Hes on average. This is not just a feasible grind and its boring to boot.
Most poeple I now who got the gear.. just ended up spending tons of AD and bought the lanolin instead.
I opted out of the whole thing.
to me, doing thousands of HES and spending dozens of hours fishing, isnt a activity I am willing to do, if poeple like to do it, fine by them, but I think even those people if truthful with themselves, can see how many of us would have nothing to do with this sort of content filling.
Regardless of how we feel, the company is making money off these "activities" so they will not change thier mind, only by stopping to pay them, will they take any notice.
I truly believe activities like fishing and such, are "ok" if they are not part of main progression, or is a longer but valid route to entry , for those who just want to solo stuff.
Im ok with that.. what Im not ok with , is design that implements hundreds of hours of boring game play, that isnt ok by me, nor would I reward a company with real world money for skipping it.
Here is the honest truth, if they sold a mod expanion pack, that unlocked skipped this grind, but was account wide.. I would pay them real world money to do it. I think its time they start thinking about releasing mods as expansion packs to purchase instead. I know they need to make money, I was willling to give them money, if its , you know something feasible, whats not feasible, is bying 8 seperate items for toons to play through a mod (which would still make the whole thing unfeasible).
I know other f2p games, that sells expansion packs.. so I dont know why you couldnt in this one?
There should be a better balance, mod 10 has more or less killed alt play.
This is the first campaign I will not participate in, after 9 straight ones, where I did almost all of them over 8 toons.
Concerning the whole great success bit for the new BHes in somi, I ran act for a lot of runs yesterday, because I was puzzled how I could get great successes in lonelywood, but using the same gear and rotations in somi, never get any, except on the rescuing the elk tribe one, which suits HRs.
Of the participants my toon was always in the top 5 dmg-dealers, often in the top 3, averaging 15-20 million per HE. The only times I got greats seemed to be if I hit the number 1 spot, or did over 20 million.

Though i have not "opted" out of mod10/10b I feel the same you do @silverkelt. I like playing all classes of neverwinter, admittedly I don't play very good on some, but I like to get a feel for how each class plays. I do have a main that will be BiS after this weekend and 2 alts that can do all but eSVA, 10b is just to grindy/expensive for me to play those 2 alts. Cryptic should have done it the way Underdark was, once you complete the requirements to unlock the new content, all your alts have access to that content, I'm not sure why they did it differently with this mod, but the grind is out of control if you want to play more than one character.
As always, it's too much RNG gate on drops for what you need to get the new gear, loot tables that make your chances far too low, and this time no one's even running the big HEs in SOMI because players hate it. It's a total failure.
Way too much, indeed. That's okay if you're rollling often enough to reach some kind or normal or even distribution, but here I see guildmates doing it together since t10.5 went life, and while some are already bored from that new skirmish, other's are not even half done with teh requirements, due to lack of drops from HE. And even worth, since the same non-compliance to expected distridutions of loot applies to fishing, some still use green kayaks and now don't even get to the BHEs in time to participate and get a shot an usable loot. It's very frustrating for those, so they are starting to serieously hate the game and you read or hears them cursing all the time when they are in these new maps. (Myself, I skipped 10 completely, waiting for the day the "fishing HAMSTER completed" ticket or the "lifetime barrel of lanolin" will be awailable for cash in the zen market - maybe; during that time I can try my hand an Secret World and play through some LOTRO or Forsaken World plotlines, as well as play some leveling stuff or older campaigns with some alts.)
How much time per day do you have for gaming?

I already decided mod 10.5 for me will simply be a "enjoy the story, do the quest once or twice, do the achievements if reasonable" and that will be it...
I have no interest to grind this ... Mod10 grind almost took me out of the game and im nowhere near where some peoples are. I was lucky to be able to get into FBI with just tradebar store gear and potion food etc. I didn't farm for the boots, and i didn't gave a HAMSTER about lanolin. I done some heroics for the fun of it, maybe 20 or so, didn't got a single lanolin for all i remember... so well... lol.
Nah they really got overboard for this content. I just hope next mod will be better and more fun. I already accepted the fact i may do slightly less DPS than some other full powered GWF but thats it. I mean i don't even have a shard of orcus wand yet... im still working on castle never stuff. Yet im a 3.6 DPS and im not bad at all, i hold my ground in damage. So that will simply be this for me.
I hope more peoples think the same as i do and just give the middle finger to 10.5. It sucks a bit cause visually and story wise, it does look interesting , i actually liked the visuals of mod 10. But thats as far as it was good.
I agree the grind for mod 10 & 10.5 is insane. They should offer more rewards and change the requirements to progress for everything in mod 10 & 10.5..., they should also try and remove older modules content when new expansions come in meaning TOD and Sharandar and Thayan boons requirements to obtain them be removed and changed to simpler tasks to get all the boons for new players.
I've been doing SOMI dailies to pass a little time each day. I recently found the greater everfrost resist kits in the AH for 11K. Now my GF and DC can get into FBI and nSVA. And I haven't done a single HE.
I see all these groups looking for tanks and healers, but I can't bring myself to start the grind. nSVA seems like a waste of time since mSVA has the marks needed to complete your weapons. And the distribution of marks some people reported are just disgusting. I've been doing DR lairs every day for the greater marks to make R12s. At one point, I had 3 power, 0 stability, and 12 union marks. I just know if I do mSVA, RNG will slant my marks to one type forcing me to do like 60 or more runs. No thanks.
