Event finished on 6/12 + 14 days by opening buying them on last hours, seems doable.
People have been doing this for ages. Like, really. This is not the first event IMC gives Diamond Anvils or other rewards like this. As much as we dislike it, it’s f*ing legit and allowed + people learns.
Already explained it earlier, some people have these throwaway account from years ago.
And again, over and over, people will prefer to believe an abstract “it’s cheat, it’s cheat” than a real item crafted with a real explanation and Staff confirmation. shrugs
It’s not like this is the best system ever, people “abuse” events like these because RNG-to-progress is bad (doesn’t make it a good thing though). But IMC allows and acknowledged this as a legit thing with the ktos announcement and did it now again.
It’s visible that the enhancement mechanics causes too much frustration, especially when best results are driven by RMT, P2WIN or “alternative” (e.g. alts+event) methods…
And the average results by trying the intended way gives something like this:
And yeah… It’s doable for the lucky, but it’s definitely understandable that the enhancement mechanic is such a hot topic - it’s not fun, gives no challenge and doesn’t benefit real effort.
Personally, I’m going to save silver and invest slowly on a Velcoffer weapon by buying Diamonds after X enhancement. I don’t like it but it will be cheaper to buy a few Diamond Anvils than reroll 5+ weapons.
Rerolling 5-6 weapons from Velcoffer cubes is more expensive than the avg. number of Diamond Anvils + cost. It’s cheaper and more efficient to just use DA and have 80%+ chance to achieve +16.
The sad part is that even if you put all effort and silver on crafting those 5-6 weapons you can still fail.
This remembers me of an old suggestion for sacrificing the similar weapon many times for enhancing the main weapon. At least this would avoid the “worst-case” scenario that repeats itself more than the good cases.
