Where to get Reagents?

Okay...I'm kinda confused about this whole thing...some people say you get them from Skill nodes while you are in epic dungeon and some say you can ALSO get them in a places like Black lake, Tower District...Will I really get them if I farm outside of the epic dungeons? Will I also get them while doing the normal dungeon like Cloak Tower or in a places like Black lake, Sharander...?

Now, I could be mistaking Regents for some other "potency fusing thingamajig" but I don't think so (I'm at office right now and forcing my memory from last night). Anyway - check the Wondrous Bazaar lady (click the AD icon in your toolbar if you aren't in PE).
There are all ranks available there - the higher the rank, the more expensive they are. And with failure rates, you might need to buy several - THAT'S when it starts to get expensive!
I hunted all over Coster Market and there is the one lady outside, Wondrous Bazaar merchant, who sells 3 of the various reagants but there are many many other different types needed to upgrade the various items you need to upgrade. I already have a greater bag of holding half full of the ones I've collected and none of them are apparently needed for anything. I have had a couple of the reagants needed to upgrade lower level enchants/runestones drop but didn't notice at the time I got them so can't tell you where. Creating a rank 8 enchant is likely next to impossible. I'm only glad I managed to create a numberr of Rank 7's before the change or I wouldn't even have those.
Oh and on top of all that you no longer have a chance to get coalescent wards using Celestial coins. Just to add insult to injury i guess they needed to make sure you had no way of upgrading anything.
Frustrated to say the least. :mad:
This.
Blues are EXTREMELY rare, hence the outrageous prices on AH. Cryptic will eventually have to address this.
For now, it's usually cheaper to buy a higher level item, than upgrading with blues. A rank 5 stone needs 1 blue, and a rank 6 needs 2. Just buy the higher rank outright.
In the 17 days of M2, I have gotten 2 blue and 1 purple Marks of Potency (which was a lucky roll from VT - the only one I've seen drop). I've been doing the DR dailies on 5 characters every day, and Sharandar on 2. I've completed over 30 Epic dungeons (looting every chest and at least some skill nodes in each). This is a completely unreasonably low droprate.
Obviously the drop rates aren't even close to that.
Do you have the link to that quote?
"The intent is that enough of these will be dropping in the world (from skill nodes and bosses, mostly) that you won't need or want to buy them from the AD store, but we want to have the option there to ensure that you'll always have access to them."
Note that not buying from the AD store doesn''t mean you won't need to buy them from the AH.
True, but it sort of does suggest that they could be expected to be cheaper in the AH than in the AD store.
If more dropped they would be.
Sellers first have to get beyond their own need- most of them probably would like to upgrade their own enchants. A blue Mark of Potency is what- 25K ad on the store? But last time I looked (several days ago,) they were on the AH for like 4 times that much. That's silly. Enchants were the reverse, pre-mod2. A low level enchant on the AD store was several thousand AD. The same enchant on the AH cost less than a 10th as much.
You don't need to buy them from the AH, as they are cheaper on the AD store. But you -should- need to buy them on the AH, same as people used to do Coal Wards, unless you want to go farm them yourself.. assuming that's even a reasonable option.

This is spot on! Getting whites and green lesser marks out of level 60 areas is very unreasonable. There is not a large enough drop rate to even try to avoid the bazaar, and Cryptic knows that. They also know you have to do some enchanting to have minimum gear scores for dungeons, so either you buck up and play their game or you give up and play your own.
Actually, with how convoluted boss fights are, I try to avoid dungeons. They are such a timewaster for what you get, even in a delve. A chance in 5 for a purple you are likely going to salvage or auction as you have better. Dread Ring may be a different story, but we'll see when we get there.
Having to do epics for a chance at a mid-range mark is wrong. With what you get levelling up you are already able to benefit from rank 5's in your 40's. I guess they figure we'll just buy what we need, but with what, since rank 1-4 will cost too?
I know a new GWF alt of mine passed the 8.3 GS score for Tier 2 Dungeons just with the 100 AD (tier 2) blues and rank 4s in every socket. I am pretty sure this is doable for GF as well, not sure about the other classes since GF and GWF have feats which boost their stats. Certainly though any class can hit the 5700/6800 GS scores with ease at a trivial AD cost and rank 4s which drop from level 60 content. Given you can, within a couple of weeks of work get the first two campaign boons, that is another 875ish points of GS right there (unless I am mistaken about boons increasing GS).
Not that all your other points aren't valid, but hitting the minimum GS for Tier 1 and 2 dungeons (and even being able to successfully clear the easier ones in each set) isn't an issue.
if you're upgrading an artifact/enchantment/enhancement/runestone, the refinement window shows you what reagents you need. all you need to do is put your mouse pointer over it.
and the term "casual gamer" is a subjective term. some people call themselves casual for different reasons. i don't think there's a single definition that would cover it entirely.
but that said, reagents can be found by playing the game. i have loads of them. and i'd consider myself to be a fairly casual player. and blue marks of power have gone down significantly in the AH since m2 launch. i think they're now around 48k where they used to be around 200k. to me, that says they're dropping somewhere.
msaligned didn't mean it by word but literaly.
Of course all the stuff is dropping somewhere. And here is the crucial point. First of all the "where to find them". Epic dungeons for me are useless because my group isn't big enough and filling up with randoms was till now allways an epic fail. Also the drop rate is much too low as pointed out. I am everyday at the dread ring and had only two blue refinement drops "aquamarins".
My inventory is constantly filling up by hundreds of green T3/4 enchantments/runes I couldn't use for anything because everything is already waiting for the blue marks of potency. I would be joyfull if even one would be dropping but a full gear needs 12 or 24 of them not calculating a refinement fail.
Are you talking about the blue (marks of potency) or the greens/purples?
Because AFAIK the blues have the worst drop rate.....
Is there a forum link that shows the RP values of each enchant and runestone used in like enchants and runestones and values using them in different ones?
For example if I use a rank one gold in a rank one gold I think its 10 RP however if I use it in a different enchant or rune its worth 5 RP.
I know there is a link somewhat showing the refining process, but its seriously lacking in explaining the entire process and costs.
