This is incorrect. The most current changes on the preview server have removed the AD coast to fuse, and overall it's much cheaper to create higher level enchants. So they've actually done everything you're still complaining about.
Yes, the website has been having some intermittent issues today. We're looking into it. The site seems to be working now, but if it goes down again just check back after an hour or so. We apologize for the inconvenience.

It would be great to have all the mats in a seperated tab. It also wouldn't hurt, if every monster had a chance of dropping reagents, scaled to difficulty and level, of course. As it stands, this is tailored towards speed runners and botters.
If you say otherwise, go try to farm skill nodes. Tell me how many bots you meet on the way.
The same way they are used in the current system. Coal wards will increase the chance to 100% and preservation wards will protect "reagents" when you try to go up to the next rank in the case of failure.
I have never had issues with bots when I go to farm skill nodes.
I cannot access the pts from this pc, if anybody knows if it's still possible, please let me know.
Thx.

So i do need the reagents... this interrupts the enchantment farming flow by quite a lot, sadly. Arg...
actually it's not as bad as you might think. some of the reagents are supposed to drop from skill nodes. the greater mark of potency, the purple reagent, is supposed to drop from epic bosses. all of these will also be available for purchase in the wondrous bazaar for AD. at least that's the way that i understand it.
and since the reagents aren't BoP, i would imagine they'll be for sale on the AH as well. but at what price point remains a mystery.
I'd also like to point out that most people don't bother slotting enchants while leveling up because you go through gear so quickly, not because they really care about saving those R1, 2, or 3 enchants. Once you hit 60, you get so many R4's from dungeons and other content, that those R1-3's are just a waste. I'd also like to point out that as long as enchantments you have already started refining take up separate inventory space, the issue of bag space has not been addressed. If the devs really want to address this, give us a separate enchant/rune tab.

However, I do encourage players to go on the test server and learn from experience how it works, as well as tell others how it works when you can. It really is a nice upgrade and will help the game a lot in my opinion, but only if people are understanding how it works so they can directly see the benefits from it themselves.
So if a failure only results in the loss of a catalyst, does that mean that preservation wards will protect them now, instead of preventing the loss of an enchant? Also, I've read that you can buy catalysts for as little as 25 AD - will these suffice for all tiers of upgrading, or is there some additional requirement?

I found 3 lesser marks of potency in one zone in under 30 mins from skill nodes.
Ok, so in the current setup, I can fuse all these R4's I have to R5's, and all I risk is on of the R4's, (which I have tons of). In the new system, I *must* have or buy one of these catalysts to do the same?

Yes, that is correct. It will be rough going at first until people start to collect up supplies of reagents.
Of course in the new system, you can throw in all your r4s into r5s, r6s, r7s, etc. to get the refining points instead of having to fuse a bunch of r4s into r5s and then fusing those into r6s all the while losing some along the way due to failures.
i have 5 r4 darks and 5 r4 silvers. i drop all 5 r4 darks into the appropriate slots in the refinement window. they immediately show that i'm getting a bonus for each one. +270 refinement points for each. the RP bar shows how many points i'm going to have after i press the 'refine' button.
this is what the refinement window looks like after i press the refine button:
here, i've added my 5 r4 silvers. since they're not darks, i'll only get +135 refinement points for each.
in this last shot, i've actually gone over the refinement point requirement and these extra refinement points will carry over if my enchantment refines successfully. as you can see, the refine button has changed to an 'upgrade' button. you don't need to drag and drop the reagent (it says catalyst, but i suspect when this goes live, it will say reagent) into the slot. if it's in your inventory, it will appear here. if you have three of the appropriate type, it will show 3/1 instead of 1/1.
if you look below the reagent (called a mark of potency), there is the slot for the ward. and you can't miss the % chance of success at the end of the RP bar. if i put a preservation ward there, it will protect my reagent. if i don't, i can lose my reagent. when upgrading to higher rank enchantments, i believe it's r7 and higher, one of the reagents will be another r7 enchantment plus your mark of potency. for r8 to r9, you will need two r8s and so on. higher rank upgrades also require more than one mark of potency.
