crafting mats so hard to get

Author Content Date
"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.


Getting 200 skill isn't the hard bit unless you think alt-tabbing every 10 minutes and sticking 1200 meat in a frying pan is meant to be some kind of challenge. Also that's before you even entertain the fact that if you can set up a bot for anything the easiest thing to do it for is potion/cooking crafting.

The only craft it's vaguely hard to get materials for is access and complaining about that after you've already got 150 skill is like complaining about the fact spears are slow.

Only mats I struggled getting over the event was copper and sometimes meat - and I levelled 2 chars with 152 pots, 152 cooking, 70 acc, 70 arm, 100 wep and 130-150 armour.

This morning, and most mornings, noone was queuing and I was able to get all mats comfortably. People late rising will struggle.

From my experience, I'd just suggest increasing amount of mats offered at the same random times (doubled?), but having copper replenished more often than it is now.

I can't speak for 150-200, but a higher volume of mats offered isn't unreasonable to cater for these crafters. It was easy for me at a lower level, but now there's alot more 150+ crafter's...

Stocking up for the next X2 is definitely the way forward for me too

Hence the apostrophes around hard. Do keep up.

And that's sort of the point isn't it - it isn't that difficult to get mats, all you need to do is park another char there and sit around for hours on end. What purpose does that serve now? Why make it so artificially difficult and punish people who are unable to sit around all day or get mats at unsocial o'clock?

I can happily sit up at 4am and get copper, it doesn't particularly affect me. Some people are obviously struggling though and it's a needless hurdle on a server like this. At bare minimum the restocks should reflect the inflated bag weight of the last few months.

Stocked up about 210k meat (dsoma) in the week leading up to event (no hassle what so ever)

i've managed 152-171 currently through this event.

I'm down to my last 30k stack of meat ( i've ran at T0 and checked regularly) and it's just about lasted me.

I don't see a massive issue with it.

You can’t compare the crafting for both worlds due to incompatibility.........

Bag weights completely different.

Hsoma shops close from 22:00 to 1:00, dsoma shops open 24/7

Far easier crafting dsoma side than hsoma.

Mat restock need increasing inline with bag weights/level rises.

Can’t understand why anyone would/is against increasing or unlimited mats, it would benefit everyone that wants to craft and enjoy another aspect of this great game.

"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


Blame the botters. Daenaerys/4634 :O

As a new player to this server, it's very difficult to get mats from the vendors, so levelling for SR is very tedious. I'd love to see unlimited mats, or perhaps have them refresh at each time increment?

Weapon special repair is the easiest out of the 3

Due to you being able to use copper, orc metal, basic leather, tiger leather and wood

Daggers 3 metal, 1 leather
Short bows 3 wood, 1 leather
Short staff 2 wood, 2 leather

Then armour next easiest and lastly accessories due to only being able to use copper.

There is no need to up restock amounts as skill is soo dam fast.

If mats are increased than crafting rates need to be a lot lower if shop just had unlimited mats we will all have 200 craft in like 3 weeks.

I don't get why everything needs to be made easier.

That's nonsense. Anyone who has that much time to invest in crafting will have little issue getting mats. You park another char there all day and log on every 10 mins until you know that day's restock time. There was also a time mats were relatively easy to get, did everyone have all crafting skills at 200 then? It's just the people who can't spend all day on soma that suffer.

There is no reason that stands up to even the most basic scrutiny to limit the restocks so severely.

I agree with that.

Except you can use iron to craft accessories too. With a high str char you can easily gain thousands of iron in an hour at the farm.

Would require two chars and a lot of patience mind you!
