Insignia Powder and Lairs

samfandango

We're all familiar with the Dread Ring Lair farm. We grind currency for Lair keys, and during x2 Refining Stones events, we farm the Lairs for a chance at Enchanting Stone rank 5. It's a straightforward system that has endured since it was introduced. It is a simple system that works.

I'd like to suggest extending this system, since it works well, why not utilise it further? The current gripe is the Insignia Powder grind required for Mount Collars and Mythic Insignia. I doubt there will be a x2 Insignia event, but there could be a x2 Insignia Powder event (Insignia converted yields double the powder). To support this event, attach a chest to any set of existing Lairs within the game (for instance the New Sharandar Hag's Lairs), where the end chest holds the chance to drop an epic insignia on X-Y-Z days (just like Dread Ring).

I understand this is not a new or innovative idea, and is just an extension of an existing system, but it's one that works and could work nicely again if implemented correctly.

I also think they could drop insignia powder from all the Demonic Encounters. Not a huge amount, just enough to give people the option to grind for it, and guaranteed drops every time too, not RNG.

Yes, this is what I already do, stop at all four skill nodes and the chest in PF. Good advice!

ANYTHING added to Demonic Encounters would be a godsend. Insignia Powder would be ideal!

Cryptic probably thinks the 3 or 6 adventurers seals are plenty of reward for demonic encounters.
