Just did my first dungeon run since M15 dropped so now I have some gear from the chess that is, well, its garbage since all gear is garbage outside the latest campaign.

First question, should I reroll till I get other stuff instead of gear?
Second, if I do get gear, what do I do with it, just refine for the measly 150 RP?

Thanks.

    Use it/Refine to RP/Donate to coffer/Sell it for gold.

    Can't be sold for gold, tried it. Frankly I figured that was what they would switch to since they are now charging gold for professional work.... for reasons. Nope.

    Honestly, drops that used to have AD, should be able to be sold for gold now......totally disappointed by this.....give us the choice of turning it into RP or GOLD......thanks

    I haven't seen a good "upgrade" since like 2012.I probably lost 100 million on this.

    For my way to get rAD, it is for sure to be less rAD than before for doing the same thing.
    There may be other way that is the same or better but I don't do those.
    I personally do not care too much but if I do what I did, it is less than from before.

    For the gold part, for whatever perception people views, it is good for me so far. I have been selling and the profit is pretty good.

    i wish we could somehow refine bad gear to upgrade it to an almost bis level for interesting builds .. too bad, and they don't even give relevant rp

    I thought once they removed the salvage, the plan would be to remove the BtA on those purple epic armors. Then we could sell them in the AH. This makes the Barovian hunts even less desirable than ever. Since my characters have their epic armors, I don't need to hunt anymore. This takes away the purpose of collecting the Tarroka Cards other than composing the one artifact deck. Which I made 2 decks already. As I plan to mostly return to unfinished campaigns, Barovia seems to be completed once you are done collecting your boons and armor. That really is too bad, Ravenloft was the best mod they ever made.

    besides bis armor everything would be worth barely 1 or 2k anyway

    it's the classic poor revamp management

    pfft I am getting nowhere near the 100k before.

    I ask how peeps be doing this and get vague answers about "dungeons, weeklies, dailies..." but it doesnt stack anywhere near 100k for me.

    The professions system is nothing more than a thinly disguised gold and AD sink

    The new Mod quests are terrible.

    Now VIP doesnt give EPic Dungeon Keys either?

    Really this is becoming a game quitting mod

    Well, then you are doing something wrong, or just not doing enough. Play for one day, make a note of your income, and maybe we can see what the problem is.

    Gold sink, yes, but not an AD sink if you use it correctly...and you can still make a really nice bit of AD from it...and you can even make a decent bit of gold from it, so.....

    No argument there.

    They don't need keys any more. VIP gives reroll tokens instead. This allows you to maximize the value of the drops you get.

    ^^ Thanks :)

    I have found out that some of the chests are bugged, hence my lack of rAD from the dungeon chests.

    Otherwise, thank you for your input, genuinely appreciated amigo

    For before mod 15, I only had 2 major rAD income. Salvage and XP reward. I made sure all my rAD income could use 50% AD bonus. I didn't do RQ (that made this harder than most people who did). I did weeklies and certain dailies. They gave currency that would end up as salvage. I also play 6 characters. Hence, their weeklies and dailies were 6 times. I didn't earn 100k everyday but I earned large volume of rAD in burst (need to accumulate AD bonus) and it could be 100K per day "in average".

    Now, in mod 15, there is no salvage but the currency can be exchanged to rAD (not as good as salvage before).

    How do you make gold from professions? I asked this specific question in another thread and did not get a clear answer. They mentioned created gold ingots but do you sell those on the vendor market? From the looks there you get very little return for selling anything.

    All professions except Alchemy and Gathering have items that you can craft and turn a profit.

    > Unlike the others I am very happy with the changes as I am making a lot more than I was in the last mod. Better still is that there is no salvaging hassle in getting the rAD now. Not having to salvage saves time, and I assume not having to visit a salvage anvil is better for players without VIP as it saves them a couple of jumps and the ride to/from the gate.

    Double XP is currently in effect...so cut those earnings in half when it's over. I agree though, salvaging was a pain, but there is no way this model earns rAD at the same rate. Maybe with double XP on....maybe.

    As far as gold being an issue, I agree, on my existing characters, I don't see a problem being able to sustain it...on new characters, it is slower going but doable.
