Artifact equipment and resonance stones

Leveling artifact equipment past purple is not worth it, it takes to long to lvl up after that. The reason is resonance stones have to low rp, and they dont drop as much. Resonance stones need to be increased as drops and in nodes, if they do come in nodes. Also the rp from resonance stones needs to be increases by 1,000, for each resonance stone from uncommon to epic. An uncommon resonance stone gives 500 rp, increase that by 1,000 to give 1,500 rp. And do that for the other resonance stones, Please.

They will when people see this change, and when people see this change people will buy more zen. And people that never bought zen will start buying zen, this change that I said will make them more money.
Very hard to do, however. Not even all the junk I collect count as RP. I'm carrying a Dragon Bone shield I would expect to be good for RP, and it won't even take it. Most rings, boots and gauntlets don't count. Resonance stones are hard to get, short of paying out. And it would take some real cash to level those to Orange, if you whale it.
Ways to farm arti equipment RP are kind of limited, especially for the massive amounts you need to get past purple - 500k to purple is a grind but not bad, but then you need another 4 MILLION to get it to legendary. Right now your options are: Dragon Hoard enchants (decent but time-limited in their effectiveness and very random); Dragon Heralds in WoD every hour (average probably around 10k RP per run but this can spike if you get lucky, or more likely you can get 0 depending on RNG); farming IWD heroics for peridots (reliable but very very slow); or the level 24 leadership task 'escort wizard's senseschal' which rewards you with a random minor/lesser/regular resonance. A guildie of mine recently opened 300 of those rewards and calculated the average out to around 1.2k RP per. Alternatively, you can farm AD to just buy it, or you can get a RL second job and use the proceeds from that to buy them from the gold sellers.
It is well worth it to get your arti equipment up to max rank - the extra enchantment slots alone make it worth it. The grind though is almost impossible to do in a realistic time frame using normal in-game means. Even refining only on the random double RP weekends - which you never know more than a day or two in advance when they are going to hit - you still need millions. 10 stacks of lesser resonance stones on a double RP weekend - or 50 stacks of peridots - to do the trick for one artifact. At current AH prices, that is 3.6 mil for the peridots (lesser resonance, those don't come in stacks because I assume there are no good ways for bots to farm them up, but at 7 bucks from the gold sellers per stack that is about 70 USD) for ONE artifact. OF course, if you wait until a double RP weekend is announced to buy them up, it is too late and you will pay 2-2.5x that.
Good times!
lvl 70 equipment can be used for RP, always check the lvl before identifying it.
Keep all the Account bound, unbound AE RP. Wait for the 2xRP day.
Pick up all gear drop and refine all level 70 green gear. May also refine level 70 blue gear if it does not worth much in AH and it can't be salvaged.
Refine character bound AE RP.
Do the leadership tasks that can yield AE RP.
Dragon Hoard enchants.
Occasion Heralds run.
Stock up Greater Scroll of id if it is cheap in AH.
IWD HE runs. Join the big HE if somebody has started that.
At the moment, I have not considered purchase AE RP from AH because of the price.
Dumb thing I may do one day: Use various Sigils to exchange for gear cache that can provide level 70 green/blue gear.
Another dumb thing I may consider to do one day if it worth it: buy the AE equipment from campaign using campaign currency and put that to my AE. I will revisit this idea in mod 7.
Nevermind, that's a terrible odea
Artifact Cloak is worth 3000 RP when fed into another cloak. That makes it worth 6000 RP during a double refining weekend. Not terrible, but a lot of work just for that. Unfortunately, matching type is only x2, rather than x5 (eg feeding a Union artifact into another Union artifact), so you're need better off feeding RP into your campaign cloak in order to feed it into your main cloak, even during a x2 RP event.
Well, I'm playing without legendary gear, but I'm of the perspective that legendary gear is actually meant to function as an unattainable goal, thus a meaningless one. I'd rather have multiple characters with purple stuff than one with orange. Makes it much less painful when they hit the reset button.

However, this involved being a beta player from the beginning, meaning that I was able to get AD early back in the days when that was attainable. I'm talking when you could even make money with non-gemmed shirt/pants (Yeah, weird, I know). I invested in some purple tailoring tools, and have been making gemmed exquisite (now gemmed elemental exquisite) shirt/pants ever since.
I bought a bunch of peridots and whatnot off of the AH back before Dragon Hoard enchants got their first nerf (the BtA one). Really, right now, the changes being instigated are about the haves and the have nots. It's not fair to newer players.
Anyway, despite all this legendary gear, I STILL can't effectively manage anything in IWD by myself so, I mean, I guess the moral of the story is gear doesn't matter, friends do.
Which would be great, if NWO didn't launch as a very solo player friendly MMO. I feel like a lot of these changes are about trying to cast off that solo player friendliness, which really annoys me.
