Old Campaigns and Boons Speed of Acquisition

Could something possibly be done so that old and new players will be able to get through old content quickly in order to enjoy the newer content with new toons?

Yen item that allows old campaign daily and weeklies to be done as at will repeatables maybe.

    I certainly believe that the grind time for old campaigns should get reduced with the introduction of a new one. I'm less concerned about how it's implemented but I don't see a need for Sharandar or Dread Ring to take a month each (or thereabouts) to complete.

    If you intend to unlock IWD requirements more quickly, you can grind for the Thayan Relics from VT (or AD and buy them from auction) and exchange these for Tyahan Ciphers, which will progress you through the Dread Ring campaign. You need at least 10 to unlock Icewind Dale from there. Illyanbruen Relics on Sharandar works the same, but the components are more of a roadblock so there's a bit more dailies to do there. Anyway, this is as far as it gets for the grindy methods atm.

    if they put a token up like that in the zen store ppl wod complain its becoming p2w, wat i wod suggest is for them to look into the time frame esp. for sharandar, DR and IWD is fine pretty easy to get t3 boons but cod do with some tweaking to make progress even faster and not let us blow away a chance of getting a caol ward on the 6 day invocation pack which is already very hard to get

    STO has the better system. When a character completes a reputation they can make an item which you transfer to an alt and it reduces the amount needed by 50%.

    Isn't any reason it can't used in NW.

    I still haven't finished Sharandar as I find it mind numbingly boring.

    sharandar is in more need of a rework on progression as it takes twice the amount of time compared to dread if you do not get sparks from relics.

    I'd like to see them limit what boons you have active. Say you can have 3 campaigns active. With the 4th coming you'll have to give up one of the first 3 to use it.

    This will IMO be the best path the further we go in the game. Once we get to 10 campaigns it's going to be too much for a new player to catch up.

    Even more so of an issue where boons are going to have to grow with gear to keep them of worth. Making older ones obsolete overall.

    Makes it a choice for new players to go back and see/farm the content. Rather than missing out on GS and being left behind everyone else.

    Do not forget that these campaigns usually come with PvE gear that can be sold to AH house as well, the Hammerstone set for example from the last campaign.

    And you know, when the gap between veterans and newcomers becomes too wide, there is always the good old fashioned solution of raising the level cap. Generally it comes at the price of trivializing old content, but at least the boons are permanent (minor) bonus, so they could still be worth doing eventually.

    Sorry but that would HAMSTER the hell out of me. I didn't farm the boring Sharandar campaign only to have it all cancelled out a few months later. It would greatly discourage people from engaging in new campaigns as well if they see that the boons are not worth it or they deem it worse than previous ones.
