There are a few ways to get the best equipment for Rank 8 content. Most of it can be obtained from end-game content such as the Earth Tower. However, we wanted to give the players that canāt enjoy that content a way to catch up. Thatās why the Mystical Cube was created. A way for players, with a bit of luck on their side, to catch up with hard-core players. However, since Practonium is a core ingredient for crafting some of the best equipment for Rank 8 content, we had to set it at really low chances so it wouldnāt trivialize the effort that the hard-core players put into clearing end-game content.
So whereās the practonium based rapier?

What is a hardcore player?
Iām aiming to get a Skull Smasher
Donāt get me wrong, the materials arenāt impossible to find, Iāve seen some people farming in parties: swash buckling, jolly roger, etc etc
But then isnāt that what a hardcore player does? Hours playing to get 4~8 materials from a weapon that is asking 40ish amounts of 2 ingredients.
In the end, practonium weapons are also hardcore player material

the majority of people NOT making an orange weapon atm isnt so much b/c the mats are impossible to get, even with a lightweight effort you can get a few a day
the reason people arent willing to make that kind of time and silver investment is that everyone knows IMC will be forced to rush out rank 9 far ahead of schedule in a last ditch attempt to save the game, the population decline is no longer a conspiracy theory spread by shi* posters, its a reality and happening quickly
IMC is going to rush rank 9 out within the next 3 months and those orange weapons will be irrelevant
I went windia rod / lionhead shield, +5 / +3, T7 gems

Well, actually from my in-game experience the reason people arenāt really crafting them is because the effort spent on farming x time available for playing x no GvG and other issues that makes the higher grade weapons not really necessary for most PvE content. The silver investment on the weapons arenāt so great aside from shards (which you can get back a % of it later if you donāt waste potential of your weapon).
I farmed 3 or 4 mats a day to help fund my last alt, its so expensive releveling attributes from scratch, getting an extra 3-4mil a day off orange mats helped quite a bit. It was about 17mil just for my last 10 points on black steam death, no way id craft an orange weapon atm though, the gear treadmill is pretty obvious, hunting grounds armor otw shortly and rank 9 wont be far off, they dont have a choice unless they are ok with 300 people a server.

I agree that there will be gear changes maybe soon, maybe not. Just meant that thereās no real great need of those for PvE content unless you want to hardcore something (a good amount of people know this). Most people worried about legendary Lv.315 weapons farm them for the PvP aspect of the game. In my case I can farm around 20 materials a day if Iām free, I know how you feel on that aspect but if you manage to actually sell things the only real deal is the shards which go over hundreds of millions x.x
Can I please rub into @STAFF_Amy and try to absorb some of it luck 
make it like Fire emblem heroes summon, where each fail increases the chance of getting something better

What if those posters were actually the real hardcore community giving feedback about bad systems? Then all the current people including IMC themselves drove them out choosing to cater into a casual fan base? A bit backwards if you make systems for hardcore people but alienate them away expecting everyone else to adapt.
This is the epitome of twisted designs followed with failed systems.

But, haukinyau1, you are the truth speaker. Do not dilute your message by standing in league with the spewers of fallacy.

I mean you could take my word and ignore someone who helped get the attention of the hardcore PoE community looking for a classic grinding game, or you the person whose been muted and blocked so much thereās a number in your name?
Proves my point about the community alienation from people like you. I was playing hardcore in beta doing tons of testing and critcal analyzing of systems and core game mechanics which are highly flawed. Most of that is covered by IMC because they are too worried about saving face in a PR aspect than actually working with the people they make this content for like itās smart.
People like you from the peanut gallery embolden them and continue driving this wedge further with your stupid comments. Most just gave up and moved on to better managed games with systems and mechanics which arenāt so flawed you have to completely revamp the entire game from scratch.
Thats the real problem here.

u know , ophiuchu isnt entirely correct, but i dont think he is far from the truth
coz we never know what the monkey brain behind tos is thinking
nerf this buff that, rework this and fix thatā¦ luckily imc isnt in construction/healthcare field.

I can assure you, this is my original account. You only have to check my sign-up date.
Either go build your own game or pull yourself out of the fallacy that everything about the game has to be abandoned. This isnāt even a topic point for most of your posts; itās slandering the ToS and IMC, that you enjoy doing so much.

100 people on a map and 2 channels per map. Grinding MMO required to kill 1000ās of monsters for a single drop. FACTS

WoW and ESO do the same thing. You just donāt have a player counter and only ESO lets you manually change map instances.

So explain how 100 people on a map is sustainable when this game goes back to having 50000 people playing again and why that is slandering saying this?
ESO and WoW are not this game though and CommanderLoadFail is a thing along with having your character being locked in a full channel.
Try again.
