Dragon's Hoard enchantment

The dragon's hoard enchantment has an internal cooldown of 30 seconds. However, there is also another cooldown. After a certain period of time I can not get any more refinement materials. Therefore, is there actually any use of upgrading the dragon's hoard enchantment and does anyone know the other cooldown?

They're pretty useless now. A Periodot if I'm lucky. Nerfed to death...
If what I said is true though, classes that are support will find less refining stones - this is due to them not getting the killing strike. My two mains are CW and DC - in dungeons I find that my CW is getting stones drop all the time, whilst my DC is once in a million years. In solo content though, I find I get stones on both (as long as there is no one else also attacking the creature).
The 2nd cool down is still unknown, devs never stated - they enforced an overall timer, once you max it out, nothing drops until it resets (I'm going to assume not at daily reset).
Now - Ive had refining points drop for around 8ish hours before they stop. Occasionally I'd swap toons, or would relog as the game has gone wonky - not sure if that helps speed up or reset the master cool down.
This one singular issue with the Dragon Hoards has, in my opinion, done the most damage to the developer's credibility. Huge amounts of money, whether it be game generated, or RL cash were poured into dragon hoards by players in the hopes of lessening the crushing grind that artifact equipment brought with it. I truly beleive whomever made that decision should have been canned for what created a massive loss of trust and resentment. Everything about it just stunk and still does. Many people speculated that it was to push the zen shop RP. I might have bought some of that RP at one time, but now never just on principle alone.
The RP is also BoA, so the excuse that it was to curb botters was ridiculous. If they were concerned that it was being used to refine unbound enchants, then they should have made enchants that used BoA RP bound upon refinement, not screw over the entire legitimate player base.
This topic pops up every so often. I don't think many players will ever truly forgive Cryptic for this move, the ninja nerf to begin with followed by a shallow "we'll look into it" still leaves a bitter taste. It won't go away and people don't forget things like that. If they wanted to make it right and undo the damage, they would dump the secondary cooldown and apologize for what was basically just a sleezy way of doing business.
Yes the most common is a peridot, but the only Uncommon thing is the opal.
My bank is upgraded to the max and packed with stacks of various gems... but only 16 (stones not stacks) of opals

Somehow I feel forced to go and buy stuff from bots, because there seems no legit way to grind myself and have fun at same time, and in-game prices are impossibly high.... maybe game devs work with bots together? There are such marketing practices... you offer same stuff via two different shops, you spend lots of ressources for marketing on main shop and setup very high prices there... Then you spend nothing for marketing expenses on secondary shops, but offer same stuff there for half the price, and ppl go there and buy there, because they think to make good business.... (even though they don't). And to make the sales in secondary shops even better, you screw up the service in main, and offer good service in second.... sounds pretty much like cryptic.....
In any case, since my "gaming" expenses per month are limited and there are games, where I see much better output for my money, i am not going to spend any real cash for this game soon... not via cryptic or the bots....
If I do an investment, I want to see profit from it, however the devs devaluate everything... I experience an investment decrease over 50%.... so why invest at all?
