>>714210037Let me tell you about the Daeva Gear sets in Aion. On release you were able to get some top of the line gear sets which were pretty good considering all you had to do was to do some menial grind or craft an item with critical success. Easy right?
Wrong, the one step that broke a lot of people was the grind to get the Hot Heart of Magic which you only get by getting a critical success if you craft a Heart of Magic. That shit requires 50 Hot Balaur Bloodstains which only drop from certain max level mobs with a very low drop rate which are as you guessed overfarmed. Suppose you somehow farmed 500 Bloodstains which basically allows you to craft the Heart of Magic 10 times, so you have only 10 Chances to get a critical success (which has a chance to also fail).
500 Balaur Stains would take people months to farm for a meagerly 10 tries. It was so autistic people started making shit up about crafting bevause they noticed out of 2000 crafts they got 2 more critical successes for an item while they had Full DP. The Hot Heart of Magic birthed bro science in crafting.
