Refining Now or Later

In regards to refining, are you refining your new artifacts on the fly as you get RP, are you stocking up...somewhere in between?

    Seeing as Cryptic in their infinite wisdom has added char bound rp items we now have the benefit of 3 stacks for every rp item I really don't have a choice but to drop them into something. First toon to 70 currently benefits as it has the only weaps worth dropping the RP into. As for old arti gear, there is simply far too much RP tied up in them to waste on the pathetic 40% return so those will be held until a hopefully not to far away x2 RP (better yet natural 20) weekend.

    Interesting results so far.

    They made saving potions worthless, so there is a few more bag spaces to use for RP.

    I'm saving everything, but R4s and pearls. If they don't have another 2X RP, I guess my stuff stays the same level.

    No point whatsoever to refine before, now, or later under this RP system with increasing requirement and new artifacts/artifact gear coming out every mod.

    Refining is boring.
    The new pve doesnt reward good gear.
    Wait

    I have given up at least until the next mod, if I have not found a new game by then. I was already tired of refinement by the the time we got the slew of artifacts with the Rise of Tiamat. I am not interested in playing a Refinement Simulator anymore.

    I keep / stock up on stackables.

    I.e. the enchantments, runestones, refining stones etc. R4 and R5. R3 and below are burnt immediately.

    Also all the green and blue gear gets IDed and used for refining whenever the inventory is full.

    I fall into, "Using it when inventory gets full, but trying to stock up."

    I've been saving my 5k+ RP items and Enchantments/Runestones that I get but have been feeding almost everything else to my Off Hand and normal Artifacts. Not sure if I'll keep saving them once I get my main hand. We'll see.

    I stash anything worth 500 or more RPs. And the R4 draconic and black ice because I get plenty of them from the HEs and Kessell's Retreat. The last double RP weekend, I made three R10 draconic and two R10 black ice.

    Seeing as I can only refine my offhand with gear since the mainhand/neck/waist will for some odd reason will only accept resonance stones I am certainly saving the resonance for double RP and of course my offhand gets everything else.

    Green loot is good. Got my main hand arti from ToD nearly legendary with it so far. I continuously use that.

    I stocked up on gems the two weeks before the mod 6 release, and kept stocking up as I leveled to 70. Then I refined the BEJEEBUS out of the Tiamat's Orb of Majesty arti I managed to luck into when ToD came out. It's now blue.

    I tend to clean out my inventory daily since it's divided between professions, keepsakes, fashion, mounts, potions, kits, and a few other items. If I find another Black Opal I may keep it awhile.


    IF IF IF I recall correctly last time the Wonders of Gond event was on there was a Double RefP weekend right after it.

    I chose "Using it when inventory gets full, but trying to stock up", but I'm saving up all dragon hoard drops, rank 5s and some of rank 4s (if I have room in an existing previous r4 stack). I'm still leveling and have only my level 60 artifact weapons, so no pressure refining them, although I do drop gear I find into them (yes, I know I only get 40 or 80 points out of them when I upgrade), but otherwise my inventory will overflow with identification scrolls.

    Refine everything to blue, especially the Main Hand so I can slot a weapon enchant.

    I will refine my 4th artifact to purple at the least.

    Rank 1 - 3 enchants are used on collection, rank 4s and up are stored for 2x RP.
    PSA: You don't need to grind Spinward Rise for your Elemental artifact main hand if you have some AD lying around. You can craft it via the Tyranny of Dragon's campaign screen.

    If you have ~150k AD to spare you don't even have to do a single Spinward daily. Buy Dragon Forged Steel, Bone and Gem from the AH and craft the main hand yourself via the Tyranny of Dragons campain screen, just like you did with your first artifact main hand.

    i doubt a bit there will ever be a double rp event again because so much rp points already drop.
    but i didn`t check calander and stuf ;p

    I'm saving up every bit of RP I get from R3 of every enchantment/runestone and up for double RP event. All marks from green up. Every drop from Dragon Hoard enchantments besides Pearls, which I feed into new artifact OH. Problem is I'm running out of inventory space fast. Will have to start buying more bank space or using mailbox as storage.
    Our pain is self chosen.

    I use them as I get them. My inventory is so full with other junk at the moment, I'm down to basically 24 slots.

    But I pick up EVERYTHING. Level 60 stuff and belts go into my artifact belt. Level 70 stuff and whatever stones drop go into my MH. Enchantments go into my Sigil.

    When/if they announce a 2x RP weekend, I'll definitely start stockpiling.
