Has anyone looked at the odds of fusing them? 1%. This is the BIGGEST RIP OFF I've seen in ages. Talk about GREEDY company! The only way to put one together ( unless you have the luck of the Irish or a direct link to God Almighty is to pay cash for ZEN to buy the Coalscent ward. This is too far. Not bad enough that for professions there are items that can only be purchased to help you get along but this is the ULTIMATE in RIP OFFS and GREED! :mad:
May the Good Lord keep you always in His Loving Arms

Don't expect me to be a fanboi though. It is a rip-off, but I do REALIZE PWI has to make money somewhere, as well as the ward can be bought in AH with AD about 1/3 of the zen cost.
'Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.' Terry Pratchet The Thief Of Time
I got one last week. Just used it to fuse a lightning enchant.
(I've only gotten to seven celestial tokens twice, I used to buy the professions packs and/or lost the coins)
Coalescent wards go for about 100-125K AD on the exchange. Even if you only do dailies and some leadership that's 5 Days of Farming. Not too bad honestly. Plus you have the chance to get one in that time frame anyway with the celestial coins.
It wasn't the founders - it was the masses of exploit AD that flooded the market together with the dupes of enchants. The huge jump in the amount of AD meant that once the corresponding flow of additional materials was stopped (or at least that particular exploit) prices of certain items were bound to rise again.
I got one yesterday on an alt , it,s only the third or fourth one I have ever opened too since I usually get the profession pack.
1) you can use your 7 celestial coins weekly, I've gotten at least 2 blue wards so far since I started playing from those boxes.
2) You can use AD to convert to zen, buy keys and open lock-boxes and in addition to some of the rewards in lock-boxes for every 200 turmalane (sp?) bars you can barter for a coalescent ward to fuse with. Or obtain keys via trades for stuff people are looking for, usually hawking in PE zone until a better more populous and utlized chat channel emerges.
3) you can sell items you get from playing the game, crafting, drops from dungeons, items from skill nodes, pots, etc and earn AD, buy zen with it and then just buy the wards directly on the AD.
4) you can obtain items and trade for the wards player to player.
You can absolutely purchase anything in the game without spending ANY money if you want. The only thing buying zen with cash does for you aside from helping them pay the bills to run, create and mod the community, is to speed up the time it takes you to earn what you need in game to purchase whatever your heart desires. It's all about learning the system and working it, all can be done with no exploits and just patience and understanding of what has value and who will buy it from you. Sadly right now that means risking being silenced because the official server trade channel is dead, never see anyone talking in it, so you run the risk at times of some jerk reporting you for spam if you are too aggressive with trying to make trades and sales for gold off AH, or setting up a set price to post something for someone etc. But I can assure you from experience, you can earn piles of AD over time, just not gonna happen fast. And you really have to pay attention, just like IRL to what people want and how you can get it and put the time and effort into it.
GL, HF.
As for lockboxes, again that's a zen-bought item and only gives you a small chance to actually obtain a ward. Most of the time it'll be a professions pack with some random guy I could care less about inside. Lotteries should not be the only way to advance in a game, so how about giving us some way of earning it?
The problem is that at first glance, this really does look like a gigantic cash grab. As well as many other things. The longer I play this game, the more I realize that it's very easy to get anything you want out of the cash shop w/o paying a single dime. every day I figure out another legit way to maximize AD.
At first glance as a new player though, it can really seem like it's uber P2W. It isn't. Just takes a while to learn all the options. And once you do, then i'ts back to forking over money just to support the game when you want to rather than feeling pressured or obligated to.
They are not 'easy' to get. The ways mentioned are rare chances to obtain them or basically paying through the nose for one. There's a reason I see so many WTB shouts in the Enclave for Coalescent wards.
You are entitled to your opinion. You can buy a ward on the auction house for 100k AD. You can easily get 100k AD in a week or significantly less if you know what you are doing. Even if it did take a week, I am ok with that. it is supposed to take some time to acquire the best items in the game. If you want to use the credit card to buy it instantly, then so be it. But you certainly don't have to.
The box every 7 days contain some coalescent, i have near 30% of these.
only 1 box per char per week, so other thing, i maybe use less ward than others. (the green ward only to make to rank 6 for example). So more enchantment loose, more time to wait. *
This game, like many F2P make you choose between credit card and fast, farm and long time.
More or less in some games, and in different ways.
25k with dailies? That's for a 24/7 chinese gold farmer. Four PvPs and four foundries and the three Gaunts and skirmish (only if you do it when it's due) and dungeon.
Every day.
That's a lot for the average player. The average player will do one of these options, and get 4K.
Also, 14K is the cap for refining AD. But then, only the actual players can know that.
check ur facts. its 24k
Very true, anyone who doesn't know can't be playing the game very much, and shouldn't bother commenting on this topic.
Oh, wait it is actually 24 K
So why are you still here, if your getting ****ed, go find another game

I guess it always falls back to l2play.
I've gotten 3500-4k from surveys and probably at least another 3-4k from AD but 100k is pretty outrageous

So what and you should of known this from the start its a f2p game. People like you are what f2p games need. So you thought a f2p game was completely free? LOL
Do you mean 'lucky' as in exploiting - because very few people will be able to have got 25-50 million AD legitimately.
