Lodestone Scarcity

Wondering what’s going to be done for Lodestone in particular, as everyone is trying to stockpile it for Brimstone Sands, it’s gone up to about 3.50 per on my server. Trying to farm it while maintaining sanity is pretty far fetched as every other node has someone AFK camping it on top of active players competing for nodes. It is going to take QUITE a bit of Lodestone for new gear etc in this new update so I’m wondering what, if anything, is going to be done to negate this issue? Can’t have everyone paying 5g for Lodestone, returning players aren’t going to be able to keep up with such competitive pricing. Even rich ones are gonna have issues with paying those prices

From what I understand the new zone is going to have a lot of lodestone veins so this seems to be one of those problems that should be resolved once the update is live.

Imo it should negate the outrageous market prices in some capacity as the market becomes oversaturated with lodestone (eventually) :crossed_fingers:

Yup… all the scarabs are lodestone… and for cooks… soooo much tarragon :slight_smile:

Considering how much they reduced the amount of runestone needed for hearthems, I’m surprised lodestone costs didn’t plummet.

For the first month or maybe longer the prices are still going to be sky-high no matter how much is on the market. People know that when new crafting recipes etc come out that they can price gouge anything that has to do with the new items. It’s going to be yet another power gap where the rich companies and rich players/town-owners/companies get a giant head start.

I hope they add more around the map.

New players arent gonna be able to just go to Brimstone and just thrive, even at 60.

We need more veins in general

Don’t forget Wyrdwood and Ironwood in the needs more locations category. With the server caps jumping to 2500 there is a lot of gathering pressure on a lot of resources.
