Gemstone S-grade

General Discussion Started Last reply 9 posts
Guys,i just wonder where ppl got 2k+ sgems?
i would like to add a sa on my Skulledge, that would need 1073sgems.
Some on told me that i could farm/spoil sgems,but didnt know where.

i wont go on market with it,just 1073 for my own.can any1 say me where to get em?
i saw something dont remember where that they ll lower the gem S needed on next update mate.
As of right now, the cost of SAing S80 grade is not worth the time.

80-85 is super quick, and you can get a better weapon and sa it for MUCH cheaper. So unless this weapon is OE ++++++++++++++ and can last you till 95+ It's just not going to be worthwhile.

What they need to do is reduce the number of gems needed and the price.

Currently to buy mid/top s80 + sa it costs as much, or more than some R95 weapons, let alone requiem or apocalypse weapons.
imo they shoul increased the cost of R not lower the S.

when this trully joke arrives, it broke the little solo player that spend milhoes on vesper weapon like i and many others.
As i didnt know its expensive ..
yeah r may be cheaper but theres no crit dmg sa on single dagger,just ~500 from +4,
Skulledge is 1k crit dmg.....
but back to topic:

You can spoil them in Dragon Valley/Anthy lair. Not 100% certain of every mob that does, but the knoricks or w/e (the scout ones with the annoying aoe debuff) spoil them in chunks sometimes. They also drop around there at a much lower rate.

Problem is you will probably out level those mobs long before you get enough gems to matter. Unless you delevel yourself anyways.
imo they shoul increased the cost of R not lower the S.

How are new players going to afford even higher R grade enchanting prices?

Heck how would I afford higher R grade enchanting prices?

Enchanting prices should reflect player wealth evinced by the gear that player has used in the past and is currently using now. So that wealthier players pay more and poorer players pay less. That is the only fair and proper system.

I really am not worried about the so called abuse of wealthy players giving their weapons to poorer players to skirt the rule and get a cheaper enchantment for two reasons:
1) they are running the risk that the poorer player will not return the weapon
2) we have to choose either to address the problems of the wealthy players or the problems of the poorer players and it is the poorer players who are the only ones truly in need of help and therefore we should only ever address the problems of poorer players because rich players dont face problems as detrimental as those faced by poorer players and by helping poorer players we don't necessarily be harming richer players (and may in fact be helping them) but by addressing the problems of wealthy players we can certainly wind up unfairly harming poor players (example by making enchantment costs so high that poor players can't afford to put an enchantment on their weapon)
I'm not sure about Gemstone Requirements, but I can assure you the mid to top level S80 Weapons are worth SA'ing if you're running 80ish instances with perma groups for drops and such. I do it all the time on my zerker sub and that Grand Finale Focus really helps me out tremendously (though I wish I had the top S80 weapon).
