    question 1 how do you know if that artifact in wod from npc (i have seen it ) if is not a bug? how do you know if that artifact isnt the old with new name and upgraded stats?
    question 2 why show the lesser plaguefire as plaguefire the plaguefire as greater and the greater as perfect? but when i tried to put a lesser plaguefire(plaguefire for preview)into the perfect to refine had the same points as lesser?
    what is my point? what we see maybe is not true or bug. i suggest wait for the friday patch to be sure before start refine.

    1. Because the old one already has its stats updated and the Well of dragon npc now sells the old one for 10 favors and the new one for 15. they wouldn't change the old one to 10 favors if it was unintended.

    Does the new off-hand have a set bonus just like the old one? If so, what is it, and will it give the set bonus with our current main hand.

    In my case, my main hand is the Oracle Of The Golden Dragon and the off hand is the Golden Dragon Icon. The set bonus is 250 power and recovery.

    thx

    I've been doing some merching on the AH in response to these events in the past. Yet, I have still never been using a single piece of artifact gear myself, (still using my setup from mods ago...). I've been doing this for a pretty decent time now, simply hoarding in AD. I found out last x2 RP event I had enough AD that I'd be able to fund x4 legendary artifact gear, but it would've blown nearly all of my investing AD.

    Personally, I will sell out the rest of the peridots I still have saved from when I bought them at 12k per stack a long time ago rather than finally raise a piece of artifact equipment myself. They cannot continue on this trend forever with such steep costs and new artifact equipment so regularly. At some point very soon I predict this trend will start slowing down, and I think it will. It is only a matter of time. On a side note, there is a lot more RP to be acquired next mod, so I am in no rush at this time...

    Why would anyone want to waste their refining stones now on old gear when we have new equipment (mainhand, offhand, artifacts) coming in 3 weeks?

    Aw, that is so unfair! I wanted a 3 x RP weekend. Or a 0 x RP weekend. The devs must hate us. etc etc etc.
    Some of you folk will complain about anything!

    All I have to say is.... WOO HOO!

    There's a difference between a call for caution and a complaint.

    Either spend all your RP on x2 tomorrow or sell it now, while it still have huge value. There is no way in the world that with rank 5 droping from mobs, and RP stones from leadership the price will not drop a lot (might need to wait few weeks after mod release tho...)

    Excellent!! Nice to know this is going forward even though the livestream said that there were no plans for a double RP weekend. Even the devs can surprise us, it seems.

    Not suprised but make our efforts useless. Wondering how many ppl knew about that, despite livestream announcment.

    I'm not a fan of the direction of mod 6 is going, but in the long run, this is a necessary thing.

    Want to know what to level during this 2xRP? A fourth artifact. At level 70 you can have 3 Secondary Artifacts instead of 2.

    It will take 6.6 Million RP to get one from Legendary to Mythic. It will take 10.4 Million RP to get one from Green to Mythic.

    If anything, use this opportunity to both level artifacts and prep other artifacts to refine into main artifacts for mod 6.

    If you're prepped on that, work on enchantments.

    Wait...that means, you should now farm tiamat for 15 more flavors...because you can buy the new artifact off hand from the start? Ok Dragon artifact is tiamat....because tiamat is a dragon-goddess. I thought the elemental artifact stuff you get in a new area for new coins. And hoped you get it first with new max lvl, so that the old artifact set has its use for leveling.

    It makes sense to finish refining something that is already half way there than to acquire something brand new and have to refine it completely from the start.

    um, no it doesn't. If there is lv 70 artifact gear in the form of a new MH and OH that are just better to get do to the far superior stats then finishing your current MH/OH to legendary now is just throwing good RP after bad.

    That RP you have already invested is a sunk cost and you are only ever going to get 40% (or 80% during a 2x RP event) of it back. So if you don't spend it now then you will have 100% of the RP to put into the new MH/OH you will need to get.

    What a waste of a 2x RP event when our current lvl 60 artifact gear's going to be outclassed by the lvl 70 ones in less than a month. :(

    So the only thing you should be putting RP into is your regular artifacts.

    40 more pres wards for a total of 85 pres wards wasted on a 50% chance combine. 85 fails at 50% chance. I said to the Nine Hells with this and used a coal ward.

    Dude. Were your reagents in your overflow bag? Because that always causes a failed upgrade.

    No I had plenty of room and they were in normal bags but thanks for mentioning that as I had forgotten that one. The main reason I even tried the coal ward after that many fails was I was suspicious that some bug/issue was blocking it and I just had to know for sure as the odds of this many fails seemed "inconceivable".

    You caught the short end of every time I've gotten my 50% upgrade on the first try, that's for sure.

    Well I mentioned elsewhere that I had a lot of 1% success with no ward whatsoever so I am probably par for the course or ahead on that but because this stood out it annoyed me.
