Does anyone know if we will be able to refine the doohickey on Monday after this event is over and double refinement is on ? people keep asking this question and nobody is answering . It will be impossible for me to get the doohickey otherwise ..
I'm guessing no because the event will be over... if I'm not mistaken, my bet is that there will be a day laps between event and tiamat.I'm assuming tiamat will be released on Tuesday the 30th (tue being norm time for server down time)
But may be a small possibility they will let you purchase stuff from the event. Idk. My 1/2 cent. Lol
One more thing my guild and i have noticed about Farming this event. This is one event where it benefits you too Farm in a group. The grommets drop for you from your groups kills as well. Grommets meant for you can only be picked up and seen by you. Therefore a group could fan out and kill at the 45 second rate and gain many drops in this process. Just have to backtrack over your groups kill areas and look for yours. Whispering caverns with all it's twists and turns and different levels seems to be a good area for this. I hope this info helps you all get what you desire.
I've turned down so many group invites... I thought that as a group only one would drop aND whomever got it, well, got it... ughh. O well.. lmao.
After i got my greater mark of power, My main focus was to make gold. I've sold probably 100 for 50 gold. I wasn't too enthused on the items anyway.
1 to 2 is 20/5=4 grom
2 to 3 is 60/5=12 grom
3 to 4 is 180/5=36 grom
4 to 5 is 810/5=162 grom
5 to 6 is 3240/5=648 grom
finally 6 to 7 is 12960/5=2592 grom
4) Now we have to include the copies and originals to make the items so we need to add 2 to the above numbers. Then we multiply that times the number of items needed for the next tier.
6*32= 194
14*16= 224
38*8= 304
164*4= 656
650*2= 1300
2594*1= 2594
5) now we take the original 64 and all the other numbers and add them up. (64+194+224+304+656+1300+2594) for a grand total of.... 5336 Total Grommets to equal ONE LVL 7 Doohickey...
Using professions to get 16 Sprockets won't cut too many of the needed grommets off but it will help plus it gives you sprockets, cogs and grommets that you can use as RP too.
Only need to upgrade half of the items as the other half can be used without upgrading.
16 sprockets to 8 gadgets = 8 * 180 = 1440
8 gadgets to 4 gizmos =4 * 810 = 3240
4 gizmos to 2 thingmabob= 2 * 3240 = 6480
2 thingmabobs to 1 Doohickey = 1 * 12960 = 12960
1440 + 3240 + 6480 + 12960 = 24120 / 5 = 4824 grommets needed if starting with 16 sprockets.
Further production past 16 sprockets will give you 45 RP for the sprocket, 25 RP for 5 grommets and 30 RP for 2 cogs. Assuming that you get either tier 2 or 3 rewards, each task completed will give you 70 or 100 RP.
Add the first 16 tasks to get the sprockets you'll upgrade and you'll need to do the tasks about 256 to 345 times depending on how many tier 3 rewards you get. I didn't factor in the grommets and cogs you might get from the first 16 tasks either.
If you use a grandmaster, the tasks run about 1 hr 19 minutes. Artificing and weaponsmith only use 1 residuum for the uncommon ingredient. Alchemy doesn't use any uncommon ingredients but it does use 50 green vitriol which would be a pain to produce in that quantity. You can use other professions to gather ore and wood but only alchemy can produce vitriol.
Dear friends, do not farm for Doohickey because it is impossible to get that one by yourself: you would have to buy a lot of stuff. Why? Because once you get a grommet drop, there is a 45 s cool down meaning that you can not get more than 1 in 45 secs. You need more than 17 000 ref points (total) to make Doohickey. So you would need 3400+ grommets or ~42 hours of non stop 100% efficient farming. And we all know that this is not possible in the time frame given to us. So what happens is that you are FORCED to buy stuff. I don't think that the mount is worth it unless you have tons and tons of astral diamonds and don't know what to do with them.
yeah but if your smart and you join a group and run with 5 ppl like i did and ive made a doohickey and sold a doohickey you get more drops because their kills drop them outside of your 45 second drop rate i would kill one get a drop watch them killsomething and see a drop withint 5 seconds of eachother and vice versa

tier 2: 24120 / 70 = 344.5

You are being generous. I don't think it was planned at all. I think it was thrown up as a distraction.
