Patience is a virtue?

Patience : Something not all of us have.

Practonium is extremely difficult to come by. Some got it on their first day. Some got it in a week. Some got it in a few months. And some are still praying to RNGESUS.

Now, I have a few questions in which I want to know your opinion.

Is it worth Transcending your 315 Practonium Weapon?

Of course a lot of you will say yes because of how much dmg it gives you. But please just hear me out.

So…

1.Transcending your 315 Practonium Weapon makes it untradable. Therefore, you will be stuck with it forever.

  1. R9 will be here soon and so are the new equipments that /might/ be better than the 315 Practonium Weapons.

  2. If you did Transcend your 315 Practonium Weapon, will you remove your Blessed Gems? This will destroy your 315 Practonium Weapon in the process.

(I guess you really don’t have a choice unless the 315 Practonium Weapons we currently have are still better than the new ones. But I highly doubt it.)

So is it still worth Transcending your 315 Practonium Weapon or is it more worth it to be patient and wait out R9 and new equipments? By transcending your 315 Practonium weapon now, isn’t it just like throwing away your 2 Practoniums in which you’ve waited for so long?

I’m not trying to argue with anyone. I just want to hear people’s opinion on this. :slight_smile:

Removing Transcendence destroy gear now? I remember I had a Stage 1 Ignition with 2x 5* BGs and I still have it on my PD2, and I removed it to put on my Five Hammer and after that they removed it from the hammer due to the changes in the transcendence system.

I know you lose 10% of the invested blessing stones you used.

“The Transcended Item will be destroyed and you will receive some of the Blessed Gems that had been used.”

#4

Really strange, maybe only affect higher stages of transcendence since I only used 1 gem? Ah well I stopped using that anyway, pretty idiotic system imo.

At least the blessed stuff can be used as trade coins.

#5

Well rank 9 will take some time to reach here, if I made good use of that trans weapon in that time I would not mind to destroy it for the gems.

And even after rank 9 it will take some time to make the new weapon, and the old one will speed up a lot the process, and we don’t even know if the new weapons will use practs.

But if you don’t want to waste the Practonium just use and transcend a HG purple one, they are usually around 10 millions in Silute.

#6

Are u talking about orange or purple? i wouldn’t mind destroy a purple one, just one prac and no sick dpk materials. It’s easy to get one prac

Read your own link properly:

[quote]Extracting Items

  • You may remove Transcendence effects at the Blacksmith NPCs at either Klaipeda or Orsha.
  • Monsters will have a chance of dropping the Spell Rod which is required to remove Transcendence effects.
    ※ You may not retrieve Gems when removing Transcendence effects.[/quote]

It does destroy the equipment IF you decide to get some blessed gems back, but you have the option to save the item by removing the transcendence completely (thus losing the blessed gems in the process).
It’s all about what is worth more for you at the time you decide to change to a new weapon, if selling the old weapon itself gives you more shards/silver than destroying it, then it’s a no brainer.

#8

You can actually keep the weapon by giving up of the gems with a Spell Rod tho.

#9

have to be carefull with out dated information…
Transcending seems worth while if you have alot of money and focus on one character.
Not so worth it if you don’t have enough money to invest into the attributes and have multiple characters
that could benefit from the weapon.

I’m trying to focus on one character atm so he gets all the silver for attributes/weapon…
I’d say i earn below avarage amount of silver so for me trascended purple practo bow seems ideal
as one practonium and 90% of the shards back seems like an okay price to pay to have a powerfull weapon
which should be able to handel all content with ease depending on how high i’ll be able to trascend it.

this is just a mere video game, go follow your heart, choose whichever path is more fun to you.

IMO just upgrade a blue one, there’s no point on trying to get a purple one if you are evntually going to destroy it after switching to a practo one. (unless you are planing to sell it as some people say) Marketplace prices are all over the place RN with purple weapons, I wouldnt risk trying to sell one since people seem to just ignore them lol (people trying to sell them same price as a practonium)

Using a +0 staff as an example:

Transcendance +1:

Purple staff: 1527 matk
Blue staff: 1389 matk

The difference its only 138 matk (and the +50int bonus)

+11 and +5 stage transcendance

Purple staff: 3134 matk
Blue staff: 2786 matk

Difference: 366 matk

Well you can do the math on every transcendance level, for me trying to get a purple weapon its a waste of time, been there 1 week already without good results and almost about getting enough money to buy a practonium, so yeah, at the point a purple weapon for my class drops i might have enough money to move to a better one. In the end its all a matter of choice, if you have enough time and patient to farm the 320purple box untill you get one for your class the its a no brainer, but if you want and have the resources to start transcending your weapon…

#12

Transcend to 5 or so, why not, but i see no reason to transcend all the way to lvl 10.

#13

There is no patience at all if you were left behind because mystical cube have stupid % base system.

Items/equips change their market value every now and then. You lost your chance to sell mats at higher price just because you didnt get your practonium ASAP. The faster you get good weapon the more productive youll be.

What you gonna do if you were only using 220 weapon 8 months ago to farm in rank 8 maps while your peers are farming high end equips using high end equips just because theyre lucky with mystical cubes? Nothing right? Youre just waiting for a miracle on that percentage base until you can compete.

Now we have someone who would tell you in the future that “be patient” after you lost your chances.

#14

My advice to new people here is: enhance your weapon as much as you can, +16 would be ideal, and stage 5 or 6 is more than enough. You will reach 555k damage cap, 1 shot people and do your daily stuff soloing as well in parties like ET 40F.
Rank 9 will probably come in November or December this year, that if we get the new GvG and guild system updates with no bugs at all. You still have time, just focus on gearing up, get solmiki gear ready for Rank 9, that’s it.
Hauberk guild boss drops an insane amount of Practoniums, the trend is that more guilds will reach lvl 15 soon and start dropping Practonium prices to 5-10M on market. You can 2 man these bosses, so start investing on your guild and you’ll see the benefits later on.

Good luck

Mystical cube is a failed system. Idiotic % that contribute nothing but salt and hate.

People can argue that it was only failed because % is very low but why would IMC give you a weapon faster that is more stronger than a Lolopanther weapon that needed a month and extremely good party composition/strategy and investment? Of course it will be locked on a very low chance that needed more than a month to get.

#16

no need to wait months just to get a practonium…

just a rough estimate on how much effort and time it takes to get a pract now:

only needs 2 chars good enough to run 170 or 140 dun… 170 dun gives about 300k+ silver x3 thats 900k+… thats about 1.8 mil to 1.9 mil with 2 chars… + saalus and other daily missions, that’s about 2 mil a day… 10 mil in 5 days, 20 mil in 10 days, 30 mil in 15 days… depends on how good the chars, this can be finished in about 2-3 hours of play time a day (more or less)…

practoniums are being sold for an ave. of 30 mil in the market… you can buy a pract in 15 days if you want… faster if you can incease the silver income per day…

Nobody wants the mystic cube system in the first place, but nice try attempting to connect your personal dpk RNG % drop issues with anything you can hinge on.

#18

yea I agree, i even use practoniums as currency for trades. But know someone said that it would mean that someone sacrificed his practonium for that. In exchange of someone getting better, someone also was left behind. Some forumers actually used this argument vs buying blessed shards off the auction. They branded people buying blessed shards as taking advantage of others.

If you didnt get i means there are better ways than % base system for mystical cube. Mystical cube only flops because it is %. The intention is good for mystical because we have a choice other than farming 20f of ET.
