Dragon turtle moult does not drop at an acceptable rate from HEs. It does not drop at an acceptable rate from treasure maps. This entire grind is an insulting bait and switch.
Seriously gutted about this mod, cuz I wanted to like it. (like I wanted to like mod 3-9) but a lot of it seems like a serious troll by cryptic. They say they want to make fun content that players enjoy. I am not seeing that happen. I play 8 toons, with some extra that were just for fun. 1 could be considered almost BiS if it weren't for my <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ring RNG. The rest are spread between 2.8k and 3.3k. Maxed everything except enchants.
I've basically conceded defeat here and admitted to myself that the grind rate to keep up is so impossibly insane that I need to stick with and play one toon and the rest can make gems for the stronghold or whatever. I suspect that is their goal. Reel in the multi toon accounts. They have chased idiotic ideas many times and the trend continues sadly. Had this mod been reasonable, I'd continue to gear all my toons, spending some cash here and there for all of them. No point now. Just get a good set of enchants that can be moved and when they nerf your favorite move them over.
The zones are very nice and the art team shows real talent. The pressure to upgrade coupled with stronghold costs that remain ridiculous are killing it for me and others I know. I am close to the resources for my main's offhand but when I think bout other toons "pfft". You want how much lanolin and moults when they drop this poorly!? At least mod 3 you got shitloads of materials on every HE, even if the gloves and main hand were a huge failing. This makes it look like paradise in comparison.
I had real hope for this new lead dev. The last one was a nightmare. So far this guy seems worse and I can't help but wonder if it was an office prank at cryptic to throw this guy at us.

Agreed but ironically the only real fun left for me in Neverwinter is leveling up a new char from 1 to 60. So basically the fun is in the alts and the studio kills the alts.
Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
The biggest problem with the new MOD 10 & 10.5 is that for me it is not engaging or enjoyable. It seems to suffer terribly in comparison to the zone and quest design in the "older" content. It simply is NOT what I want to do, especially zerging HE's and FISHING ?? , what in the world...
