Hi guys, for what we still have limits for Expedition Orbs, for what we still need them to enter the expedition?
Right now we got more Ubral Shard per gypsum box that we can earn on Mutation from lvl 1 to 5. There is no sense to do Mutation from lvl 1 to 5. What is the purpose of doing Mutation right now if:
- You need orbs,
- proper gear,
- very good team,
- proper builds for specific mutation - I mean weapons, melee of range etc
- a time, stress
You can get some Ubral Shards but the item quality drop on mutation is sick low. 90% of the items are Bind on Pickup - no trading, no economy - and a the same time You can easily get around 6 Gypsum boxes with 400 Umbral Shard per box after some time - when You already increased 6 parts of the gear to 25lvl.
You can do normal, easy game parts, not need to spend time, money - for high mutation slot - to get proper numbers of umbral shards. Ppl playing OPR all the time, 50-100 per run, doing some portals, boss farm, arena etc to get gypsum and ubral shard.
After the new patch, You add new event mobs that will drop 500 ubral shards, after around 1h I got around 3500 ubral shards… Still… for what I need to run the mutation.
Another thing is that the drop table - I mean special items - is not equal for all builds. Collecting gear for INT build is a pain in the ass… sorry for the words, but we get 2 good weapons and 1 jewellery and that’s all.
Try to collect any armour pice from the expedition with a good attribute roll and with good perks is almost impossible - another thing that You will think more about doing higher mutation or even to do the mutation.
Mutation is something limited for all of us.
Most of the mutation perks hit mostly INT players - dmg resistance, force INT players to fight in melee combat, using STR/DXT based weapons - and at the same time, we got rewards that don’t reflect players’ effort for doing it.
After a while of running the expedition/mutation right now 100% of collecting items, I just salvage. Can’t sell them, I can’t get something better from them even if I salvage legendary items.
When You will think about why the game is dying, think about rewards in mutation, about player effort to play mutation, about the economy.
