This is a terrible way to look at things. I bought my Vaivora Spear at 240M and now they are 110M each. But if I had waited 3-5 months, that would be 3-5 months of me not being able to do contents efficiently.

Vaivora Weapons
A new NPC has been added to Fedimian.
-This NPC allows you to use “Vaivora Weapon Synthesis” and “Vaivora Weapon Upgrade” functions.
1. Vaivora Synthesis
-Synthesize 3 Vaivora weapons or ichors and you will receive 1 random Vaivora weapon.
-You cannot synthesize [Lv2] Vaivora weapons.
2. Vaivora Weapon Upgrade
-To upgrade, you need 2 identical Vaivora weapons (or ichors) and a “Vaivora Polishing Stone” item.
-Upgraded Vaivora weapons require level 450 to use, and have their stats increased accordingly.
-Vaivora Polishing Stones are obtained with a low chance from Challenge Mode stage 6-10 (stage 8 or higher), and with a high chance in the new content [Challenge Mode: Split Singularity].
-A [Lv2] Vaivora Polishing Stone is required for [Lv2] Vaivora upgrades.
Example:
Vaivora Sword - Echo +
Vaivora Sword - Echo +
[Lv2] Vaivora Polishing Stone =
[Lv2] Vaivora Sword - Echo
-The upgraded result is given as a weapon, regardless of what you give to the NPC (weapon or ichor).
Challenge Mode
1. Added [Challenge Mode: Split Singularity].
※ Challenge Mode: Split Singularity is a challenge mode in which portals are created at fixed locations in different maps for each day of the week. The following areas are the maps where the portals are created.
Challenge Mode: Split Singularity can only be entered by using [Challenge Mode: Singularity Entry Ticket].
-The ticket can be obtained with a low chance when clearing Challenge Mode stage 6-10.
-The ticket can be obtained with a low chance from the Fedimian tavern lottery.
When you clear Challenge Mode: Split Singularity with a [Challenge Mode: Split Singularity Multiply Token], you can receive another reward.
-Only party members that use the multiply tokens will receive additional rewards.
-When using the multiply token, you will receive both the basic rewards and the clear rewards.
-When using the multiply token, no additional entries are consumed (the rewards are just increased).
You can purchase [Recipe: Challenge Mode: Split Singularity Multiply Token] from the Sage NPC in West Jungers Road.
-By combining 3 tickets to enter the mode, you can use the recipe to make multiply tokens.
Challenge Mode: Split Singularity is divided into 1-5 stages, and the higher the stage, the higher the Attack and Defense stats of the monsters, and more monsters will appear.
-Two elite monsters will appear.
-When you reach a certain point in each stage, two elite monsters and 1 boss monster will appear simultaneously.
-If you defeat the elite monsters and the boss monsters, the challenge mode gauge will increase, and you will receive rewards when you clear the stage.

The inevitable conclusion of the vaivolra lv 2 system.
Max lv 10 VV, with lv 5 and 10 being the additional modifier to the skill effect or straight boost.
Then like seal, it will take 2 lv 2 seals to make lv 3 and so on.

Wait a minute. Don’t both Ripper and Rubric benefit from this set?
Rubric yes, but I’m pretty sure ripper functions like hoplite stabbing meaning you spam the key not hold it therefore to u would not deal bonus dmg
For Ripper and Stabbing you CAN hold the key down, you just dont have to, so idk if it’ll work.
So Chaplain Healers maybe?

I don’t see how an “oversight” this case, whereby it completely trivializes the encounter by lowering the bosses attack to an abnormally low amount can be considered ok for people to continue to abuse.
Does a bug abuse have to break the economy for it to be taken away from the abuser? Say you found a bug that let’s you +40 all your items but makes the item unmarketable or tradeable. Would the devs let you keep it? It wouldn’t affect the economy as you couldn’t sell or trade it.
Imagine being a party trying to get server first against this party who used this bug. How disappointed would you be that the devs allowed something like this. It’s clearly not the intent of the encounter nor even remotely close as it trivialized it such that they even made a post detailing it. I think it’s just the wrong way to go about this and sets bad precedent for future decision making on how they handle these kinds of situations.

I agree, and it discredits any future challenge in the game, because the correct way to win is to find a way to abuse it rather than overcoming the challenge the intended way.
I think they put themselves in a corner when they announced they were removing it without fully understanding the details of the clear. At this point, if they said they were keeping their decision even after the details came to light, they would have gotten a lot of community backlash. It’s even worse now that they’re changing it, so the group that abused it and got their clear(s) did so easily while future clears will be harder on everyone.
This isn’t the first time it has happened though. The first clear of Skiaclipse in KR was done by rotating pass and Mackangdal for full invulnerability while ignoring all of the mechanics. That was also nerfed promptly afterward and IMC let them keep those titles too.
Even indirectly, the growing number of very expensive, hard to obtain items locked behind long grindwalls and RNG that provide a lot of power just reward those that exploit the systems in place. The extreme abuse of alt accounts, the Turn Undead DCP strategies, the RMT, the botting, the exploits to obtain high end items (LV10 Legend Card)… IMC does not take an active stance against preventing or fixing these behaviors, and those that abuse them benefit now more than ever compared to those that do not. When the BIS gear is so expensive and hard to obtain, and provides so much more power, just simply having it puts you above and beyond to a point where others have no hope of reaching besides grinding for a multitude more amount of hours compared to those that abused these tactics. IMC seems intent on trying to have a full BIS character be a completely unreasonable or unachieveable goal, between items like Karaliene, Boruta Seal 5, Ark 10, Vaivora Lv2+, Legend Card 10 (before exploits), etc.
I do not find the “competition” at that point to be anywhere close to a fair playing field, and it reaches into the same kind of problem outlined here. Almost of all the end game content is either a competition, or extremely rewarding if you already have a high amount of power, causing those who are already ahead to just snowball further. Content like CM10, Singularity 5, Glacier Hard, Field Bosses, and Weekly Boss Raid are extremely difficult yet reward players who are already geared with even more money and items to become even stronger. Heaven forbid you also don’t play the current meta build(s) dictated by IMC, it will only be even harder on you.
Keep in mind this is coming from someone who has been at this top tier of gearing for a very long time… I can easily still be, but I do not find this grind enjoyable anymore, and even “winning” in this sense simply by being so ahead of the curve just feels like terrible design and unrewarding, especially when there are others exploiting the game to get everything you do faster and easier.

The amount of content and item and currency/fragment bloat is pretty overwhelming. What’s IMC’s fascination with having so many different types of items and fragments of things just to make an item that is basically another fragment or sub material for something else.
Vaivora synthesis is also such a garbage system, why is the resulting vaivora random? People haven’t even found one vaivora and they expect people to get 3 to reroll to a random one. Jesus.
