[quote="RICHIE777"]Crafting Materials Always Sold Out, its really crazy how hard it is to get mats for crafting, the restocks are are not often enough also the ammount that gets restocked is miniscule it only takes 3severalpeople to be stood waiting with the npc window open for the whole restock to be snapped up leaving nothing. Either we need sellers in Merc Town selling crafting mats, and/or have a npc seller who has unliomitedf materials thats open 24/7 game time but to make that plausible the cost of the mats are x4 for example abias seller 1x copper is 30 bar new unlimited stock seller 1x copper 120 bar [/quote]

[quote="3D"]There's no point nor logic to having such limited amounts now - not that there ever really was, bar a timesink. Barr is almost worthless and anyone wanting to craft up to SR quickly will just park another char at the merchants all day and get mats in dribs and drabs, which is beyond tedious. [/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]Imagine if every time a mob was killed you had to wait around between 20 minutes to 80 minutes for the next mob to respawn........ I know, not much fun is it. Well that’s what crafters have to do for restocks to replenish, not much fun. Unlimited mats, and let crafters craft.[/quote]

[quote="CORLEONE"]It's hard but everything in the game doesn't have to be so easy. I'm working towards 200skill atm and it's not easy but that's Soma. You can always hunt for mats if you want to.[/quote]

[quote="TANTO"]Corleone can you advise me on your bag weight when competing for matts at time 1 ? Vs my 900 I’m lucky to get one type of matt on 1 run [/quote]

[quote="HAWKMOON"]If you also buy minton jewels, its 200 per 1 in conti :) [/quote]

[quote="HITME123"]Giving unlimited restock would be like removing durability from weapons/armour and making all mobs drop 10 +100' HP/MP pots. Unfortunately the lower levels will always suffer when it comes to getting mats from restock. Learning the restock times and minton jewels will help alot if you are struggling. Or login at incredibly unsocial hours and hope theres nobody else with the same idea. [/quote]

[quote="CORLEONE"][quote="TANTO"]Corleone can you advise me on your bag weight when competing for matts at time 1 ? Vs my 900 I’m lucky to get one type of matt on 1 run [/quote] I've 1417 bagweight at level 130. [/quote]

[quote="3D"]Getting the 200 skill should be the 'hard' bit, not endlessly waiting for small amounts of mats. The massively limited supply...sort of made sense on esoma, but here? The cap gets higher and more and more chars get there - or passed the old caps at least - yet the restocks are the same, so if there's a few chars there someone is getting 0. [/quote]

[quote="SERB"]Always happens on x2, stock up before event is your best bet.[/quote]

[/quote] Yes lower levels always suffered but soma has never had characters at level 130 with correspondingly high bag weight before. Since overall bagweights have increased materials supply also now must increase to prevent monopolies. [/quote]

[quote="MICKYC"]maybe just increase existing stock levels to reflect rising bag weights in proportion?[/quote]

[quote="MANCHU"]I’m on the way to 200 cook and so far I’ve not run out of meat once. I’ve gone from 173-191 over this event and as long as I check the shop each time change I can get by. Granted for cooking it’s only one type of material so it’s quite had to check two shops at the time change, but as said, go hunt park a store char at the vendors and even when you’re out hunting you can gain mats. Before people argue saying not everyone has store chars, it’s been double rates and it’s quick enough to get to level 50 or so to help. [/quote]

[quote="VIN_PETROL"]only tweak that might be useful... is make the rings u craft for access skill possible to craft with orc mets as well as copper .. freeing up access skill and creating less demand on copper other than that.. anticipate x2 events.. xmas/ easter / halloween/soma birthday etc .. and stock up inbetween x[/quote]

[quote="BRAINSTORM"]blame the botters that are pretty much afk and do the same thing and the same route, i figured that out during 2x saw 3 people doing the same route, i even struggled to get mats due to there bot pretty much instantly taking most of the mats :/ anyone caught using a bot to get mats should have all there craft stuff removed imo, but thats me lol or just make mats unlimited << probs the best fix tbh [/quote]
