Is this real? Lol! Incredible - refining insignia is so cool - I was getting a lot of them but selling them at low prices - now I see you can refine your insignia - Lol - wish I kept them - but on that note, how about refining armor, like since the start of the game? Maybe we get to start like at level 10 - refine armor all the way up - or every 10 levels - or whatever! It sounds more conforming to the game theme of refining - Besides it'd be really engaging to refine armor since level 10. Grab a set, refine it, level it up - keeps progression more interesting - also maybe there could be like a scavenge feature to degenerate refined items into lesser quality items (to use in other sets or something like that) - just a few things I thought could be interesting (but then it could run against the end game theme - since the first 60 levels are free of more complicated features) - howz about a second character series - lol - you could play end game themes at level 10! Well maybe I'm just joking - but what do you think?

    We have had various pieces of armour you had to refine, and they were pretty much unpopular.
    Hoping for improvements...

    why not just grab a waukeens cloak, xvim ring/belt/waist dragonbone offhand item and an heirloom weapon...equip a star of simril companion , and a 5k power mount and pwn your way to 70...its in game already and makes you unstoppable..refinable armor would just be overkill on top of overkill

    I never cared for the armor you need to feed. Maybe someone can think of more, but off the top of my head...
    Black Ice armor was the first armor you have to restore and keep feeding it black ice. They have done away with it. Other campaigns with gear in constant need of attention; Elemental Evil, Storm King's Thunder, Cloaked Ascendancy, Undermountain, and some PvP armors too. I think the big issue here, they don't carry over into the next campaign. Every campaign it is the same old song, new armor and new currency.

    All of this armor ends up trashed by newer armor. This is why I stick with what I have until something a lot better comes along. There is always something new around the next corner. Maybe it would be "worth it", if you could keep the set and continue to upgrade in the next campaign. Voninblods are a Storm King's Thunder Campaign currency and the only currency to upgrade the armor. Once maxxed out you need to keep running SKT for the upkeep on your gear.

    That was always the issue I had with the 'Refining Armors', not the fact you had to refine/restore them but that some had to be 'upkept' which was/is just annoying overall.

    I'm just now trying all that restoring stuff but haven't made it really far yet - but I did do the whole seals vendor with hours getting the seals and stuff - now I'm on Fallen for the Infernal set - has a limit! LoL! And it's like these pieces are quite powerful as well - I think the Restoring stuff is like the RPG aspect mostly - it's a common RPG vehicle in most games like this one - I guess you could still use them - but I'm running out of bag space - I need to get that Runic bag! If they had Armor/Weapons tabs in the inventory like the tools inventory... And the new ones in Descent are better then even Infernal - LoL! - I'm still thinking if I should get the Infernal set - But I think there may be some type of Restoring on the Infernal gear, IDK what but I'm sure I saw it somewhere while browsing - Anyway, thanks for the answers - Cheers!
