  5. Mogrim Well-Known Member

    Anything other than runes on the merchant? Are there new runes or just old ones?

    Llyleia is a Glaufaye and located at /waypoint -467.87, 191.97, 253.08
    If the currency from opening the reward follow the doubling rules as a member, then it's not great but doable.
    However if the rules don't apply to the currency. expect only 1 rune or 2 pcs of jewely for 10-12 weeks of daily grind :eek:
  7. Kuulei Well-Known Member

    there are 3 pcs of jewlery as well, an ear, wrist and neck

    whats the mission? can you only run it once per day?
  11. Brightlyz Active Member

    From what i could tell you get 1 daily and 1 weekly. I dont know how many coins they give and if it gets doubled for member. Maybe a DEV could comment on this please?

    I would very much like confirmation on this. 45~ runes for a rune for a subscribers is nice considering the other methods and drop rates (not including the new quest itself since im not sure what it is).

    If the currency does get doubled by having a subscription I would say this about as close to perfect as you can get for this.

    Fast note: The Currency appears to be no-trade, as a result it is not likely flagged the same as most currency, and is likely NOT doubled. Just an observation/thought/guess.

    Really should be doubled for subscribers...heirloom tokens would be nice too

    Heirloom would result in people with a bunch of alts being able to get them much faster than the devs would probably like.

    Letting people farm them on alts also means more groups, so make them heirloom please.

    Make them trade-able! And have the quest be repeatable!

    Means less grouping long term. Once they get all the items they want for their main and maybe one alt they actually care about they just stop grouping. If someone running alts would run them all to get equipment for said alts then them being heirloom makes no difference. They would all get them at the same rate instead of giving all the tokens to one character at a time. People can say they would keep running them with all their alts even after their mains get them, but the coins being no-trade guarantees it.

    Not to mention people lack restraint and would burn themselves out with alt farming.
