and yeah first drum’n’bass theme in tos music history
Can anybody here share a video of Cryomancer at ktos in action?
I’m having a hard time looking for the new plague doctor patch … O.O any youtube vids?
Edit: Nvm … i tot it was a NEW art or skill rework but it was the old one … XDDD
There are only 2 types of players that field grind: bots and people with too much time in their hands. CM will always be more efficient for silver grinding if you don’t have all day. Also note that available CM tickets via badge shop was increased to 10/day in KTOS.
The fact that IMC increased Token’s max market price to 40M indicates the high silver inflation in KTOS.
Lunar Seduction???
I always knew we were going to the moon at some point in ToS.
Those CM tickets are going to be used for singularities though. And even with 10 tickets and a free reset we’re talking about 2 per day, so 10 minutes if everything goes well. Another 10 for a challenge with the free daily entrance…so after 25 minutes of playing you are already relying on alts to do challenge. Alts that do require at least a good (trascended) weapon and ichors, assuming you’re sharing the rest of the equip, else you either don’t find a party or you get carried if you’re lucky.
But if you don’t, then the only other choice is indeed field farming.
Also, if IMC really cared about silver inflation, then they wouldn’t be putting out leticia cubes with singularity entrances and vouchers. Sure, they had challenge vouchers even before, but doing those actually required a significant time investment. Singularities are much faster and profitable in comparison.
The real, actual reason is that they’re fine with inflation as long as you’re paying them, rather than farming silvers yourself. That’s all there is to it.

Singularity also produces silver. What’s your point?
Also, geared players will opt for Singularity, but average players will go for regular CMs, simply because anything lower than DS4 will yield lower rewards than regular CM7 per tickets used.
CM and Singularity also yields crafting/enhancing materials. Inflation happens when the ingame currency ratio is disproportional with the materials/consumables. Naturally, the supply of mats will deplete as more people craft items, but they need to introduce a more efficient way to burn the silver as well, hence, x3 silver cost for Glacia Anvils.
There are already space suit costumes, so why not a lunar theme 
If people use those tickets for Singularity, they aren’t using them for CM, thus all the CMs they’ve got are the free ones; and since tickets don’t expire, there is nothing that prevents one from hoarding them and use them later on…you aren’t missing any daily singularity in doing so, since you don’t have any free daily singularity to begin with, unlike challenges.
This has the added side-effect of having less people around carrying weaker characters, as even if people do have alts, having them decently equipped is another issue entirely (especially now when you can’t really afford to spend BG and other resources on side chars, as people usually don’t have identical chars laying around). Thus, less normal challenges being done.
Crafting and enhancing materials that are needed by the same people doing those singularities, as they’re now the only decent source of blessed shard, for example.
But compared to challenges, the amount of time needed for singularities is far, far less. One could have hoarded 100 CM vouchers even before, but having the time to actually do them is another issue entirely.
Anyway, it doesn’t change the matter in question - those singularities do introduce silvers faster than anything else, and they have no quarrel about giving further entrances and tokens in leticia cubes, or even the rest of the materials for that matter.
So the inflation excuse for removing silvers from field is moot - they’re perfectly fine with having inflation as long as people pay them enough, and that’s all there is to it.
Those glacia anvils aren’t getting introduced anymore, by the way.
Either way, this discussion will keep going just like last time, so i’ll just stop here.
I really don’t get what you’re trying to point here. At the end of the day, both CM and Singularity are contents that yield materials and silver. CMs are meant for casuals/newer players while Singularity are meant for more serious/geared players. Exactly what is the relevance of being able to stack Singularity tickets on this topic? Obviously, IMC is trying to push it as a “fixed party” content, so it makes sense that they gave players more leeway on when they want to do it.
Is it really a problem if there is a content that does not allow leeching? Obviously, the scaling HP/Def depending on party number is a sign that it discourages leeching. I mean, like you said, players are already allowed to stack/hoard DS tickets and they are not missing daily entries. Newer players can try DS once they are ready.
What? The proportion of materials/consumables vs ingame currency is what drives inflation/deflation. If there’s more silver than, let’s say, Blessed Gem, the price of BG will go up. If it’s easier to farm BG than silver, the BG price will go down. If you can infinitely farm silver without increasing the supply of materials/items/consumable, silver will depreciate. Even if every player in TOS spam 20 Singularities per day, the mats and the silver produced by Singularity will be proportional, so the inflation will depend on whether these resources are being depleted proportionally or not.

That moment when you meme about IMC’s channeling intern putting channeling into everything and joke about IMC making Double Punch into channeling … and they actually did it. This just brings so much more crap, worries and questions to the table, I can only hope for the best in their 29th October Patch Notes …
(Lel, the way Google Translate showed Chaplain notes, its like IMC doesn’t realize that Chaplain is actually a Magic Class to begin with)
