[img718.imageshack.us] Pinkie Pie would have been better. Too bad it doesn't fit. Oh well.

Cute. I might use that at some point.

And I don't think people have been using lulzimg since I added the image hosting functionality to the forum itself. Most just link to ponibooru or deviantart or whatever directly anyway.

Never seen the Item Shop look so lonely

that has been happening quite a lot lately

still looooong way to go for me eh.

Wow I need to max out my Staff quick so I can start selling those Destruction Bindings! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Resource War in HV!

the price keeps going up and up. the # of gifts you get is way to low for whats needed to upgrade just a few items. I've used up the 8 my monsters got me but I haven't traded for any yet. I'd need a lot more mid-high wood first, and when the forge was added I had about 200 low 100 mid for most items. And that isn't close to what I need to upgrade staffs.

and don't even get started on how hard it is to upgrade phase

I only need to find 18 more Destructions to max my Stick.
No need to trade cause for now I lack Woods.

Upgrading phase is going slightly better. I already gave 20 Phazons to my Pants and 4 to my Robe.
The other pieces are not worth a phazon anyway.

Meh, the number of bindings required is too high considering their rarity.
My critters keep bringing back materials, and the few times they do bring back bindings, it's something utterly useless (Wind-waker, etc).

I suspect materials will be seeded in the bazaar or a means of getting them via drop will be added soon.

I think it is fair. With my many Monsters I can upgrade at least one stat on some piece each day (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

That would make custom monsters useless.
One way to make them more accessible would be to tie the numbers of gifts received to the level of the monster.
eg, something like PL<250 → 1 gift, 250<PL<500 → 1 gift, chance of bringing back 2 gifts, 500<PL<750 → 2, chance of bringing back 3, PL>750 → 3 gifts

Well, you literally have an army of high-level monsters (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Bunko has more... i think (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Maybe increased Loot will be a Monster Perk unlocked with Chaos Tokens?
We really need this soon. Some Monsters are already worthy of becoming a Boss or Legendary.

I think it's fair for weapons only. The requirement of 1 rare material for 1 level of rare equipment's upgrade is just....ridiculous.

bunko has about 40-43

Ichy has 24

I think it is meant to be expensive and difficult to upgrade gear because it is supposed to take awhile

Maybe. ... But if you plan to whine about it to Tenb, don't ever mention the word 'fair'. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

His solution will most likely be adding more special material for weapon upgrade for every non-rare weapon (waki, katana, scythe, any non-redwood staffs, any eth, etc). It will become fair, and everyone will suffers! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

And asking him to increase the gift rate for rare material won't going to work if you ask me... He will cite the high number of rare material people threw away to itemshop as an argument against you. And he probably use the same argument against any request to ease the requirement of rare material as well...

If anyone try to argue against this by saying that there no Phazon in itemshop and the argument, that there's more than enough rare material to the point that people sold them to shop, is invalid ... This argument might work, but this may backfire; if Tenb or someone (wonder who that is... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) saying that this is the evidence that mage are more popular or more powerful... Only God know what will come out of this situation! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

I actually thinking of asking Tenb to reduce the requirement of High grade material needed to upgrade, but still couldn't find a good way to persuade him yet and I begin to wonder if there are any at all... So I probably should just give up.

There's virtually no supply :/

Time to make an army, I guess.

This.

He would then have to reduce the chance for high-grade even further

Nah, you need too many high-grades to upgrade exquisite+ level gear.
