so im trying to raise my hrs gs and i figured get a vorpal. but i did the math and i have 129k ad i cant refine today. it would take (starting from 0) 15 days to get enough ad to buy a coalessant ward to make a vorpal with the shards ive collected. thats insane. why would i wait 15 days for 1 enchantment. thats also with me logging in and losing my life everyday playing this game. raise the limit on how much i can refine please. its driving me nuts. sorry for the rant guys thanks. any suggestions for other ways to get it. and btw i farm dragons and dungeons a lot and still dont get anything really worth much to sell on the ah. and no one ever wants to run castle never or malabogs castle to get the best gear. the bow i get from charthraxis is worth 50k but ive only ever gotten 1 one of those. and i have yet to get the artifacts from the other one i farm. any tips please?

FYI, weapon and armor enchantments don't raise your GS. In mod 6 they say they're getting rid of GS anyway. Whether or not they will raise your Average Item Level, I don't know.
Also, you might look into debuffing enchantments, such as Plaguefire or Terror, if you don't have a high crit strike score. They usually cost less.
The best weapon in the game is the artifact weapon you get from the ToD campaign.
Always check the AH: frequently it is cheaper to buy a refined item than to buy the wards/marks to make it yourself. Currently 220k for a lesser vorpal, 400k for a coal ward.
By the same token, when you feel rich enough to upgrade, check prices to see if it is cheaper to make a normal vorpal or to sell your lesser and buy a normal outright. It is nearly always cheaper to buy a rank 6 enchantment than to upgrade a rank 5, etc.
The nice thing about enchantments is they don't bind (with possible exception of Barkshield), so you can pass them on to alts or sell them back to the AH.

To say I was shocked when it actually worked first attempt is an understatement.
All hail our RNG overlords!
I tried once on the prev shard, 250 failed attempts LOL
.....always always try to refine with a preservation first.
rng is broken 1%, 20%, 50% means nothing

OK everyone else had given you the only advice that I know of on how to get the enchant, but nobody touched this.
It will never happen and frankly you don't want it to.... within days you'd see prices rise of the AH,the more everyone can refine per day, the less it ends up being worth so there is zero benefit to be had and the possibility that the price of the very thing you want would be proportionately even more expensive/take longer to save for. Some of these folks have 40-50 leadership farms feeding their mains and it is the rise in their income that would set the new prices. The more you think it through, the worse idea you realize it is!
I have seen this statement before, and it is completely WRONG. There would be a HUGE benefit from refining cap increase to 100-200k for a casual player. Why? 2 reasons:
1) Increase in AD makes zen shop items comparatively cheaper since ZAX is already sitting at or near cap and Zen shop prices are fixed.
2) Leadership bot farms can't utilize 100k - 200k refinement cap. This means that a casual player who just runs instances and salvages stuff will get more benefit, and the wealth spread changes more towards those players.
In short, the prices rise, but the wealth spreads more towards casual players who run dungeons. This comes, of course, at the expense of people with a legion of leadership bots, as well as wallet warriors.
EDIT: an even better solution: make salvaging loot from instance bosses reward refined ad instead of rough ad.
One thing remains - a good many gamers have little patience. Of course, it is this very concept that causes some gamers to shell-out the money for Zen, which keeps Cryptic in business.

Do not ever waste your preservation ward on a 1% item. Only 10% and higher. Save those for artifacts and low level rank enchantments. Why people troll like this.. OP clearly stated that he got very limited amount of AD, and preservation cost money too.
Here is your option:
1) Farm pirates king: if you get any "bind on equip" sell it on AH. Rest can be salvaged.
2) Always pick up valuable items: rank 4 - 5 enchantments, lv60 blue gear (weapon, belt and neck: as people use those for refining bonus) and sell it on AH.
Remember: When you run pirate king, you always have to aim on dungeon delve. End chest will get you garanteed epic item, which could be sold or salvaged. 10 - 12 seals (once you get 40 +, you can buy epic item and salvage).
There are so many other ways you could farm AD, explore my friend.. But please be warned!! "Do not ever, ever use green wards on any 1%".
Where is this information? Id like to see that.

1. If you have a strong guild, they will run Castle Never easily.
2. However, the biggest bang for the buck has been touched on already, the Pirate King speed runs. You can get 4 in during delves, and make quite the little profit.
3. Seals we often forget about, but the gear can be salvaged. Again a guy on the first page had it right.
4. Vorpal enchantments will not raise GS (not that it matters soon anyway)
5. The game is now grindy...face it
6. They should raise the refinement cap for sure. (spread the wealth around a bit) 24k a day is seriously ridiculous. Reward a player that grinds Arc, because that is the player that is going to stay with you now.
Important note: that's 4-5 runs during the delve with a good group, not necessarily overgeared, but knowing what they're doing. Party finder, on the other hand, tend to bring the guys who can't deal damage, can't control, can't tank, rarely use pots and collect all the green garbage they see. So that'll be a "proper", 30mins - 1 hour run.
