I'm referring to the new book grind. I'm not doing it.
Like if they randomly drop fine or I have enough ad and nothing else to spend it on I might buy them. That said I'm not doing it again. I'm nearly finished the first 2 books on one character and I'm never doing it on any character again. I've only gone this far because of the I've gone so far already if you know what I mean. I'd rather deal with the brutal grind of a heroin addiction that turn up each day to dragon farm again.
I ask because I'm sure they have metrics that tell them a lot of people did the grind so its ok for them to put it in again despite everyone's intense loathing of it. We don't like it but we come back again anyway so what does that really tell you, aka battered spouse syndrome. Anyway knowing what it will be like again is my tipping point so here is a poll I hope of y/n on doing the grind again.

no dailies for me, no wasted time in no drop dungeons.
just pvp for the love of god
Now if the new dungeon is so incredibly hard that the last three boons really become essential, then yeah I'll speed it up.
I am also quite certain that the books will appear in the Zen market not long after the release of Mod 5. So I may just do what I normally enjoy, save up AD, transfer to Zen and buy the books that way.
I didn't realise this was ambiguous.
If you get the books from drops fine, whatever. Yay you got the boon then.
The poll is asking are you willing to grind your daily dragons or not. If yes then you are and if no then you aren't going to grind them.
Not even gonna try and farm the dungeons or skirmishes. I think spending time and effort to farm those just for a small chance to attain books/artifacts is an insult to my time and effort.
i bet zen store packs will have books included, and with the rng for these drops they will sell them for 7500 zen each.
on mod 7 there will be so much daily grind that we wont have time to even check AH not even talking about doing smth like the actual content of the game
If other people through experience reach a similar conclusion we will see less books on the market. Although some people will end up doing it anyway. And then you will have pvpers who understand that neverwinter pvp is an arms race and will do it for whatever advantage they can get.
So it won't be a total wasteland

...while there's nothing to buy with these money. That's the problem.
I'm sure you know the answer.
Just do the fetch quests in each zone.
3 secrets and 2 sigils a day just from swapping grave markers, lightning bottles, etc. plus the portal to tuern weekly.
I spend maybe ten minutes tops a day on it and I barely even hate this module anymore.
In no way am I saying this is how the module should be...stupid dragon timers and no drop 'great success' over and over have shown this mod to be a giant clusterfork©. But if you are giving up on getting the boons in any timely manner, this is the best reward for time spent.
You do one dragon a day and you get 1 sigil or 1 secret, plus the 1 sigil/secret for the fetch quest in that zone or you can do all the 5 zones fetch quests in the time it took you to do the one dragon...

Ditto. Only one has made it to ToD 3, the others are still playing catch up.

Any of the 3 people who voted yes care to explain their point of view? I made the poll not show names because I had a fairly good inuition of where it was going to go and I thought people would be more comfortable voting yes if they didn't have to defend themselves or be marked as a fanboy or lol its just the mods who are good with it. But with 3 of you now maybe someone would care to elaborate.
If no one wants to do the farming, the supply is going to be low / non-existant making these books rare items. Lets face it, they're going to be people that will want these items, and if I and only a select few do get the books we cansimply dictate any price we wish. They either farm it for themselves, or pay any price we set/demand.
Greed is a beautiful thing.
hence y i am hoping to get 2-3 mil or more from price spikes. no way these books won't spike drastically in price
then i can buy anything i could want after enduring all the farming. i doubt i am willing to farm a 2nd one though
part of the reason is that boon 4 begs the question, make over 1 mil at current price or get 200 life-steal/regen
it's not a motivating boon for its cost
They're people with literally every item they could possibly get right now, all 3 artifacts are orange, as are their belt and weapon, all rank 10s, etc. The boons are just the next power step, and I don't know too many people, specially PvP players, that would pass up 8% crit sev.
And besides, what else are they going to buy?
Well specifically I'm asking the question are you willing to grind out enough campaign currency to buy the books again in the upcoming module. Not are you going to do it in the current module.
Don't disagree that people will buy those things on the auction house. If I get the ad together I might one day. They might be worth 3 million ad but they aren't worth 40 hours of my life. Like even if the reward was totally crazy its not worth doing it all over again for me especially with an extra book on top.
It is interesting that the motives for doing them are ad related. Says not good things.
Like I said previously though, they're people that have literally everything they want and still have AD to spend, they are going to buy it one way or another.
I'll probably eventurly get the books grinded out because I find the dragons useful to have breaks honestly. Play for an hour, want a break? Go wait for a dragon, do 3 hits, and go back to a safe place and get the reward.
