Some Beef with EGGs

Endgame greens ruin the price of other greens. To me end game greens are like going to walmart to buy groceries, yeah its the same stuff. and its cheaper, but it tastes like crap cause its from walmart. I mean nearly all greens go for like 5k now a days because you can get the perfect staff, axe whatever from end game greens. And if you beat Factions, Nightfall, and GWEN then you have three end game greens. EGGs (ha i acronymed it) screw up the weapons market.

Greens are unique because they are a pain in the ass to get, EGGs are not unique at all, they are Walmart weapons. I know we can't do away with them, but i was wondering if anyone else felt the same way.

The end game greens tend to have bad perfect stats like -5/20 and +60 health staves. I feel bad just giving those to heroes.

Mmm...Beef...Eggs....

Anyways, even if there weren't any "EGG"s, there would be a lot of low-priced greens anyways. It's green farmers and the fact that these greens have been out for months, most of them years, that reduce the price of a specific green, not end game greens.

Edit: And I agree with Racthoh.

When I finished Prophecies for 1st time long time ago I was missing some reward for doing this. Factions introduced rewards and I feel they are good for casual player.

an end-chest like in dungeons would have been a lot better

I agree, it's more of a reward for the casual player for beating the game. All the greens that cost a lot have rare skins and/or better stats than the EGGs (I hope that catches on). Plus if you really want the perfect weapon, just buy a gold inscribable version of the skin you want and mod away.

i agree with blayza
might be better if you could only craft endgame weapons, like they do in prophecies now: 10K, 10 D.steel (which cost about 1K each) and 10 steel
total price: around 22K
these don't ruin the economie, since you gotta be stupid to sell these any cheaper to others
EotN has the same thing with D-weapons (5K + 10 onyx & 10 diamond => total value of around 25K)

(didn't really calculate the values)

endgame weapons are nice to give to heroes, however.
maybe automatically costumize them?

eggs and beef? /runs to make a breakfast biscuit


I like endgame greens, helps me outfit my heros, and on the off-chance they have good stats I may acctually end up useing them (like cerimonial daggers for my sin, the Deldrimor javilin for my para, and the caster spear from NF for my monk)

I use endgame greens to get "forget me not" inscribed foci on the cheap. Saves lots of plat.

EGGs are not the perfect items you might think. For instance the perfect caster staff for the majority of casters would be 20HSR/20HCS 30/30. Most of the endgame caster staves are +10+5e 20 HSR and 60hp. I don't really care for those. I'd rather have the 20/20 HSR/HCS and 60hps. +5 to the already high energy pool of ele's is really nothing compared to HCS every 5 casts average. Same for Necros and Mesmers and any other casters with long cast times. Of course it's always a preference thing, some like it hot some like it cold you'll never get everyone to agree on anything really as far as weapons go that is of any significance.

Monks are the exception, but, I think they give up a lot by taking swords/spears and shields. Best they can get on a sword is +10 HSR and then the +30hp and the +5e. I guess they like that +8 armor from the shield and gawd knows what they add as a buffer with the +30hp I usually put a +10vs slashing or blunt for my heroes though.

QFT

end game greens are modded for people that dont have any idea how to mod weapons to the spec that you need and are for an easy way to have a max weapon by the end of a campaign, its more aimed at the poor/newbie market.

they should add wep crafters to the other endgame areas

I want eggs, with beef

@OP, I don't think it's end game golds that dropped the prices, its green farming. I just give my end game weapons to my heros

factions has +5 energy melee weapon crafters
untill the release of NF, those where one of the only ways of having a +5 energy weapons (after the denravi sword got removed out of the game)
maybe reskin those, make them inscriptable and a bit more expensive?

They're a nice little bonus, and since they're horribly non-optimal mod-wise I don't see how they could be that bad for the market.

WTB Ebon Shiro's Sword of Fortitiude! PM offers!

Seriously though, what else would be a proper reward? Most of the time end dungeon chests give sucky skins/mods and being able to craft elite armor isn't exactly much of a reward either.

I AM OUTRAGED! People get access to decent weapons without grinding for hours! CASUAL PLAYERS HAVE THE SAME STATS AS ME! How will I overcome my lack of skill?

I'm going to go to WOW, where hardcore players who play 10+ hours a day roll the casual crowd.

/Sarcasm Deactivate

Sorry for this...

Which came first? The Chestkin or the EGG?

I really am.

hahaha, well i never get any drops farming with my sin. i suppose im just unlcky. so sometimes i feel like they are almost neccasary to me.

I personally like getting an end-game item when finishing a game... kind of like a souvenir of what was done.
