Refinement point grind

mikal

I know this has been discussed at length i just wanted to bring up something that is currently happening to me. I am in the process of leveling a feeder artifact to max out my stability artifact, my feeder is midway between epic and legendary and is currently worth 1,200,000 RP without double RP event. When slotted into my stability artifact those points are only worth 6 ranks, its seriously disheartening how long everything takes to rank up in this game.

Artifact equipment is even worse, the process takes so long that i am having to make feeders for my feeders. At nearly epic my feeder belt is only worth 90,000 points and that only gets me 1 rank up.
At the current rate my only option is to upgrade my toon once a month whenever double RP comes back around. It feels like a bad joke

Only put RP into a feeder on the 2xRP event or you waste half your RP. using 'feeders' for equipment is not a good thing to do as it wastes RP (did in the past).

Artifact feeders are best to refine until rank 59 then feed it in so as not to waste the more valuable Potency's and pres wards and yes it make take 3 or 4 feeders but is definitely better than using RP stones alone, also runestones are amazing for artifacts.

get dragon hoards, wonderous fortune and save EVERYTHING until the event.

I am happy to save everything until 2x RP but that brings me back to my original point, development is now limited to once a month at best. I can't run more than more character effectively because of the sheer size of the grind involved for just my main toon.
I could buy refinement points but i literally never score good loot from lockboxes or dungeon chests. All of my AD is earned through daily dungeon grinds. I know its a tired topic of conversation and its the same for everyone but i had to delete 2 characters this week because there is no time for them.

Wait what?!

You don't delete characters...especially those you pay Zen for.

Do not delete characters, they generate piety coins for chances at coal wards and are good for storing that RP and salvage plus gaining 36K a day from when you convert your RAD into ad from your saved salvage giving you your AD faster.

I still have 2 toons and have never paid money for additional slots, if the grind wont get any easier then i see no point tbh

Additional characters can be used as "mules" if nothing else. I have 13 characters, but only play 1, but my 1 character will fill every slot on every character with salvage.

Play how you want, but additional character slots are a benefit...not a hindrance
