I have a full time job too. Lots of people do. It doesn’t make you special.
If you don’t like the grind, then MMO’s are not for you. You can’t expect a perfect item after 11 tries. And to be honest if after 1000 hours you only have enough for 11 crafts than that’s on you, not the game or the system. It’s 13 asmodeum per try, right? You obviously had the money to buy your trophies, so you have 3 options:
- pay for Asmodeum cooldowns and get a ton of Asmodeum per day.
- grind out resources (saying they are camped is just a lame excuse)
- quit and go play a game that gives you everything you want immediately.
Bye! You going to buy a life? I’m not going anywhere…yet.
I know you can’t realize this, but the NW game you play is not the game most people want to play. That’s okay, it’s on AGS to find new players. And if you retort we all play the same game you’d just show you live in the shallow end.

I rolled a 600 LIfestaff using a timeless shard the first time ever attempting to craft with a chance at 600. Only had one basic arcane trophy and my GS range was like 581-600 for my odds lol. Had blessed, refreshing divine embrance, 30 focus and a rather shit 3rd perk. All things considered it’s basically BiS for me and I haven’t bothered making another item. My heart goes out to you, but that’s the way she goes, brother.

So you play games that you don’t want to play?
As I said,
thats what I managed to scrape together in 1000h of MY gameplay doing stuff I enjoy… Some pvp, opr, chestruns, portalruns… And thats not counting all gold I spent in taxes, repairs, buying houses, trophies…
Its about 100k of gold worth.
I enjoy doing other stuff in this game BUT IT DOESNT YIELD MUCH GOLD… Comprende?
- I cant really afford my own 10 asmo CD/day… only reason why I can do it is I had a shitload of platinum so I can buy ori ore 1.5g each (plus I mine the occational vein when i find it)… but I cant afford to buy 50 ori ingot/day @ 30g each…
- Thats what I mean… I dont want to work… I want to play.
- I never asked to have everything instantly… Im closer to 50 so Im quite patient. I do enjoy some aspects of this game but they dont yield gold. But you are right in that maybe I should quit because when a game becomes more of a chore than fun its time to move on. Only reason I stay is because I hope they fix the desync in pvp (which is the aspect im still enjoying… atleast before they destroyed GA)…
Crafting isn’t meant for a person, it is meant to be exclusive by the land owners with the wealth to feed the crafter a company and towns worth of coin and mats.
I saw a dev posted not too long ago saying crafting to 200 all skills wasn’t intended to be viable solo. It wasn’t what they envisioned.
I currently 92 fishing 180 Weaponsmith and 200(+) everything else. It would cost me about 1,489,995 coin just in Orichalcum ingots to finish Weaponsmithing from 180-200.

Unless you’re fed materials or coin all crafting is a sink. Enjoy wasting hours and coin. I’d have to dump another 100k+ for a single craft to see any results and even then it’s a crap shoot.
You have to buy the crafting set needed, the food, the trophies
At least your crafting…
180 armoring
160 engineering
170 jewel crafting
You know what I got out of all that farming… Negative 200-300k coin and hundreds of hours.
I also gave over 50k away probably closer to 100k thinking I would get a return from company members… Nah everyone quit.
I ironman all my shit while this game feeds a few players millions of coin.

cant you select a perk with an item and a select a stat with timeless? guaranteeing a 595+ item with at least two chosen values? I’m pretty sure thats basically endgame gear

130k for trophies? Hell, on my server journal is 40k and armoring tools is 60k. That’s 100k not counting other ingredients for a single trophy.

Age is an excuse. I’m 52.
Run Genesis and Lazerus (craft your own orbs) and get $1.2k per run in just coin alone. More if you sell the slots.
Raw materials sell, and they sell fast.
Quick money makers for refined materials are infused silk and infused leather.
There are plenty of ways to make money, but it sounds like you don’t want to do those things badly enough.
Do I love the crafting RNG? Nope. But I accept it because that’s what we have.
If perfect crafted items were easier to get then the markets would be flooded, prices would plummet, everyone would have perfect gear in a week and then what? Complain on the forums that stuff was too easy to get and content is too easy.

I wrote that in the starting post.
“next 9 tries using 3k timeless shards str + keen awareness highest roll 597 all with shitstats.”
Was like 6 rings 595 with premade STR and Keen awarness then some shit perk like mana
I got 1 ring 596 as above but with +7% stamina and thats the ring I hope I can sell for 3k or so…
Timeless cost 3-5k on my server so they are not very cheap…
Well I spent some hours spawncamping them in Market 
Cheapest was 37000g + taxes
As I said,
just wanted to share my bad luck.
I didnt expect BIS but atleast an upgrade and some items I could sell to get back some money but the items I got is unsellable on my server.
I was hoping I could craft 11 items and sell so I could afford crafting maybe 6 items that I could sell to craft 2 items = 19 tries in total but those items I got were all so shitty they dont sell at all.
I actually would craft jewelry with platinum setting and band plus one asmo. Without shards. You cannot get the awesome high GS but it’s times and times cheaper and you can hit 2 good perks with the right stats quite easily. Wrong stats can sell aswell. And what you get at higher GS? 2-3 attributes and at 600 one shitty 3rd perk.

Yeah maybe for money… did enough of those when levelling up though… would be nice to have some return investment in house + 3 trophies…
