this should not be a limited time event, having to grind this out in a short period of time when the game is buggy as hell is a very poor game experience.
The math so you understand.
3630 fangs for all trades
average 17 fangs per boss (based off 20 boss fights)
means you have to kill 214 (213.52) bosses to acquire 3630 fangs
to fight the 214 bosses you need to acquire 2140 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 126 (125.88)
to fight the 126 bosses you need to acquire 1260 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 74 (74.11) bosses
to fight the 74 bosses you need to acquire 740 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 44 (43.5) bosses
to fight the 44 bosses you need to acquire 440 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need fight 26 (25.8) bosses
to fight the 26 bosses you need to acquire 260 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 15 (15.29) bosses
to fight the 15 bosses you need to acquire 150 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 9 (8.8) bosses
to fight the 9 bosses you need to acquire 90 fangs to purchase the lures
which meant you need to fight 5 (5.2) bosses
to fight the 5 bosses you need to acquire 50 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 3 (2.9) bosses
to fight the 3 bosses you need to acquire 30 fangs to purchase to lures
which means you need to fight 2 (1.76) bosses
to fight the 2 bosses you need to acquire 20 fangs to purchase the lures
which means you need to fight 8 werehyenas at night
Your math is way off and are forgetting that the Grand Champ shoots 40-60 fangs or 30-50 profit and so it’s worth doing.
3630 fangs total for all trades by your original calculation. OK the math is that you get about 50 fangs profit per full hunt rotation (3 champs+ gc). Thats 73 full runs. X4 bosses =292 3-skull monsters plus the 11 fangs needed to start farming champs (~6 hyenas).
I agree that it’s still not sufficient time to do it all in a normal person’s casual gaming experience but if you can grind 8 rounds a day, it’s feasible.
For the record, I don’t believe the demand to be overly outlandish to gain the items on a server… But I’m not here to discuss how difficult it is to fulfill the requirements of unlocking everything. As someone who used to bounce around a bunch of servers on Xbox beyond double digits, I find the thought of getting some let alone all the rewards on multiple servers to be overly demanding. I had this conversation elsewhere, and it seems most people there disagreed with my take, but the demand for unlocking the items once leaves me happy to complete the task, but wishing it was a one-time unlock much like @Hansel seems to have pointed out.
Honestly, they should have made the recipe for the lure purchasable with teeth… like 100 or so. Doing that would at least make the grind less demanding, even if they weren’t going to lower the price of everything.
With the prices as is, I would say it fits ancestral knowledge level and should be something you can carry over to any character you play. Divide by 10 if you want to keep it was a standard in game recipe and continue to only do 1.5 week windows.
Play every game to have fun i say. The event is grinding, but the grind is pleasant. For an end game character, especially veteran, it’s something to do different and spend time.
Yesterday this event gave me 2 beautiful online experiences. The one is mentioned in here…
The other was on my regular official server. This hunt brought me “closer” to regulars of this server that keeps their chat closed. The greater fight of this event is giving over 70 fangs among the pet.
I am ok with the hunt, i like it.
If i wish something, although i never try it, would be to gain more rewards without wearing the tattoo while fighting.
I don’t find earning 17 teeth from one boss, and spending another 10 teeth to fight the next one all that pleasant of a grind… when I’m trying to earn 1000 teeth.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: either they need to increase the teeth drops, lower the cost of items, or allow us to craft the lures rather than buy them every time. It can’t go on as it is.
I believe the hunt is overly grindy and gets real boring, real fast, so I just keep saving my fangs and play the game for my enjoyment.
This is a choice, not a judgement. Some folk’s enjoyment is based of getting these achievements and I understand why this very limited event annoys them.
A complete round will grand you from 50 to 70 fangs profit. If you have a good build and teleport stones you need top 16 minutes per round. So the least fangs you’ll get is 200 per hour.
The fights are easy and pleasant.
But i am not against for more rewarding rounds, yet i don’t find them low, in my eyes it’s ok.
I’d agree, but I keep crashing at the sinkhole because of a player’s build. I should just go straight to my purge base transport for the rhino and wait for the corruption to go away instead… might be faster.
I think the issue here, at least in my opinion, is that you’ve got an optimal setup and that’s great!
However, players who do NOT have an optimal setup (either they’re not sorcerers so no teleports, or even just haven’t leveled sorcery, or not high enough level, etc) have a much longer and tougher task ahead of them. Which would be fine, if it wasn’t a limited event.
I’ve got a level 17 (14, something like that) on one of my servers. She doesn’t have a horse yet. We have Severe Weather so heat/cold is much trickier. She’s not a sorcerer and not going to be one. But she’s the character who, RP wise, would be the one to complete this Hunt. I just don’t think I can do it by May 10th, with the amount of time I have to play. Especially because the event only covers one weekend.
True, there’s nothing to stop these players and ask for another showing of this event to the near future. So they’ll be ready to have what i do on my server. Keep in mind that the stones and map rooms i use are not mine, they belong to other players in the server. But let’s say that’s in a pvp server. What’s stopping you to fix 4 open tp stones so the whole server use for the challenge days.
Everything is possible. Go for it.
