Nirvana takes 1 hour to run on average.

You get about 4 crystals per run.

thats an average of 2/3 a crystal per run.

You need 250 crystals to upgrade one piece of armor/weapon.

Thats 375 runs [375 hours or 15.6 days] of nirvana per piece.

There are 7 pieces [109.3 days].



Thats like over 20k real money making minimum wage in hours.

What kinda person has that much time to devote to the game?



Nirvana crystals are a blessing.



And luckily, i've been stockpiling gold for like a month b:victory

    lol for the people that have been farming Nirvana since it came out... we're already close to making our 2nd piece. It averages about 60-75 runs for 1 person to get their gear. If you run Nirvana twice a day 3-4 times a week, you'd have a piece in two or three months.

    Nirvana is an easy instance.

    I was looking foward to farming nirvana gear. I'm not spending money on packs to get it.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Sure, 60 runs to upgrade the gear for ONE person. What about the other 5? Of course it's easy when 5 people are willing to give you their time to get you gear.

    Rumor is that it's either 5 uncanny or rapture crystals per pack.

    Well, we're doing it on a faction level event, and for each crystal in a run you get a set point associated with it. In 65-75 runs there is enough for one piece to get converted and quenched with a reforge or two (250-256 or so crystals) then your name gets put back at the bottom of the list, and then the next person in line gets the next piece.

    I run nirvana maybe 8-10 times a week, and I'm happy with the points system that we've worked out, and that I'll get my nirvana piece after I've completed my 65-75 or so runs. I'm not in a hurry.... those that work harder and do more runs will of course get their items faster.

    Actually, concerning Nirvana pieces, I don't see what ppl would be complaining. It's kinda end-game gear.

    And. Another MMO whose name shall not be mentioned but everyone and their mother knows, end-game gear takes a LOT longer to get. Yeah.

    i must agree that its true that nirvana is overpowerd.
    for example: nirvana heaven shatterer bow +0 refine is slightly stronger then a heaven shatterer bow +6 refine. same counts for the armors kinda the nirvana version with bonus adds like tt99 (nirvana upgrade of nirvana tt99)
