How is x2 RP working out for everyone!? :D

Seasons Greetings all!

How is the first wave of x2 RP working out for you?? As for me I went from 3 level 60 epic artifacts to 3 legendary and 1 mythic artifact! This next go in December, I am going to focus on enchantments and hopefully wind up with all rank 10s and get those 3 legendary artifacts to mythic.

    It would have worked better were there any reasonably priced feeder artifact available in AH.
    But, alas, the cheapest Power ones are around 200 K AD and the Stability and Union are around 280 K. So unless anything changes there wouldn't be much value in this event for those who already has epics but don't have millions to go for mythic as you need many feeder artifact to accomplish that.

    If I understand correctly the price of getting Artifact to mythic right now is 6x feeder artifacts (1.2M - 1.8M) + 600K RP (120K) + GMOPS. So probably in 2.5 M ballpark.
    The price of getting artifact gear to legendary is 4.6M RP (3.5M AD).

    Unfortunately all feeder artifact got probably consumed by the one-way sigil upgrade process... Another wonderful mechanic introduced for no good reason imho :disappointed:

    While the "feeders" are overpriced right now, I played ahead and stockpiled them a while back. Same goes for the overpriced Greater Marks atm. I picked mine up for under 20k each and they are selling for x4 that now. After this December x2 RP I think I am going to start plucking cheap feeders and marks and hold onto them for x2 RP to make some money.

    Sorry to hear about your lack of funds atm. I trust you at least upgraded something?

    On the subject of the sigils, NONE of my legendary/mythic are sigils for the simple fact that...I'm not willing to risk 15M RP like that.

    This is why if you have the AD it is best to plan ahead. It was easy to get all the Power Artifacts for 50K Stability for >100K and the odd Union for 100K a couple of weeks ago. I am able to take all my Artifacts to Mythic and A Sigil from 1 to Mythic for a lot less than 2.5 M.

    A little planning/hoarding goes a long way in this game

    Well, for the last couple of weeks I was spending quite a bit feeding the Stronghold Coffer - buying Enchantments, Genie's Gifts and some gear... So much that I'm now over a limit with Guild Marks and have started exchanging them for the food items (5 silver each) in order not to completely lose them.

    Besides there are plenty of other upgrades I'm still missing on (infused armor, BIS rings) which would be a better bang for a buck versus upgrading artifacts above rank 90-100. I'll probably still use this event to level up my Sigil of Devoted, though that would mean one of the other two sigils I have will go to waste.

    I mean that the RP spent on sigils cannot be re-used, unlike RP spent on artifacts, since they are not refinable.

    By the way, the artifact prices seems to be jumping up and down, I saw them neer the acceptable level of 130-150K AD earlier today, so one should be able to buy some feeders for the event. ZAX is around 122, and it haven't hit 135 today since my sell order did get executed.

    MH to level 59 soooo close to legendary. Two artifacts to Legendary. All my Enchants to R9. Fey to Greater. 3x Greater bonding runes. I am very happy but need MORE! Glad we have a week to keep farming hardcore.

    2 artifacts to legendary and all rank 9s. Great to get all the bag space back after double salvage/rp too. Now to start hoarding again....

    The only depressing thing was how little the artifact equipment levels. Trying to get my main hand to Legendary. Put all my Opals, sapphires, aquamarines, stacks and stacks of peridots and white pearls plus all my greater, normal, lesser and minor resonance stones and I went up about 8 levels. Boohoo.

    Yeah I can relate, I was at Level 44 on my MH and with my hoard I held onto I was kinda shocked to end up at 59 lmao. even has another level 70 MH I made up to 15 for the heck of it. had a brilliant diamond and a few rubies not crit too..... I will be grinding HE in IWP and DV til the end of 2x RP to maximize my potential gain as you can compile a very large amount of refinement in a short period of time.

    not as well as I thought it would. I have all my enchantments ready to move up to level 8 but all my artifact weapons I do not have enough to move it past rank 18. very depressing since I have so many refinement stones for enchantments and ruins.

    2x RP went great for me. I hit 3781 as of now but still have 3 - 10's to turn over. So 3800 is in sight. Just need those superior marks, which are pricey. No way around it.
    You can see right away those who hoard and prep between 2x events. It makes all the difference. In the end you can purchase all material for less than half the price beforehand. I got my other last 2 artifacts to mythic and my the piece of gear to legendary. One more piece to go and I'll be happy.
  • kclowekclowe Member Posts: 157 Arc User
    I have a Question? If you build a cheap neck to rank 59 and feed it in your main neck. Do you gain or loose RP? A buddy swears you will make out on the feeder buy about 150k RP. I think you will loose 20% of the Rap you put in the feeder neck. Which is it?

    Pardon my ignorance, what are these "feeder artifacts"?
  • raymond00713raymond00713 Member Posts: 312 Arc User
    You will lose if you put anything into artifact equipment and then feed it to another. And you are correct, 20% of the refinement will have been wasted when you should've fed it straight to the item you wanted to upgrade.

    I just broke 2K and I felt like that was a success. Yeah, I'm going back to my piddly little CW.

    For me I managed to level my Lantern up to Orange which I am really happy about. Also I got a shop keeper Artefact up to Orange just purely for the Major Distilled healing potions he sells... which I will also share with my Guild :)

    The only better healing potions in the game are from the highest level of Alchemy and you can only make them one at a time.

    I'm pleased with the event. got the weapons on both my main characters to purple. all of the artifacts to purple on both characters. I still need the belts to purple on both but that's ok it will get there. I almost got an artifact on each to orange. at this point though I don't feel like I need to grind anymore for where I want to be at. I'm perfectly happy with 26 IL on both for now. gonna start focusing more on finishing the boons for both of those characters. almost done on my HR.. not quite as close on my CW.
  • thejawlivesthejawlives Member Posts: 458 Arc User
    ALL mythic artifacts, legendary main hand with half way to legendary belt, all enchantments to minimum R10 with some R11 and R12, and finally able to get those bands from SH to get my CRIT near 76%...

    Not bad for a washed up CW!

    I honestly do not understand another 2x RP this soon, who the hell will have anything saved up to the point of this event being remotely effective. Desperation tactics on the developers with the holidays upon us.

    I'll say if you are VIP the evocation bags are filled with refinement items.

    Got my Mythic Lantern and Legendary CW sigil and Legendary Horn of Blasting but still have my DC sigil at Epic cause I might replace it with a wheel of element since you don't really lose much stats and the fire dmg buff, the temp hp, and Healing is pretty nice. :3
  • bkthomsonbkthomson Member Posts: 217 Arc User
    Question do you find that Wheel of Elements good for PVE or just PVP. I have that and ready to upgrade to epic but it is not my primary artifact. I could just be using it wrong.

    I bet there were a lot of people traveling over the holidays and weren't able to make the most of the 2X RP event. The next event should help them. Also, it will help those who were getting close to getting an artifact or equipment piece up, but just missed the next level. They don't have to sit on their RP now and wait. And it now gives everyone a reason to keep grinding after an amazing event. Without the upcoming 2X RP, we would see a big drop immediately in active players. That would hurt guilds that are trying to complete already difficult challenge of finishing strongholds. They really do want more people playing the game and it seems like a smart move to keep the player base engaged.

    Ha... all those haters of Leadership and I carried on with it. So I ended up with 486 bags of Refinement stones from all my Alts spamming Leadership and sending the stones over to my main :)

    Back to topic I forgot to mention I also have been working on a Tenebrous Enchantment as well... you can stick it in any Offence Rune slot. I have been using one for quite some time even though most people do not.

    I have it up to Rank 12 now (last rank took 1mil RP ha ha) and it now gives off a chance of 5% of my HP as damage when striking an enemy. Since mod 6 came out and now we have high HP the rune has become very good. At 3% it was giving off 3-5k a hit, these runes are actually very under-rated :)

    I have heard that Leadership can grant decent amounts of refinement overtime. I will have to level it up and see what it is about as something to do. The more the RP the better. Thanks for the insight. Now is that 486 stacks of bags, all together or do they not stack?

    Exactly as I am saying a developer tactic to keep players going through the busy holiday released games. Granted I would not turn down a 2x RP so soon...ever, it just seems too soon. My resources are exhausted and out of time currency for the immediate future. This will mainly benefit those whom missed the last weeks major event as you stated. I would be luck to refine all of my R9 enchant to upgrade to R10 in this short of span and I am a grind zombie.
