elitegamerz.4965 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 As it stands now both are account bound but the exotic armor pieces are not. Why not just make the jewels or insignia trade-able? If you can buy the armor pieces out right then why have the time gate via jewels when most other stat types don't have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeknar.6184 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah, I would like to see the Serpetine Jewels trade-able... Give somenthing for the people that have no interested in doing Diviner gear somenthing to do with the Jewels they get from the Events/Catacombs. And make easier for people that actually want to do Diviner gear to obtain it through the TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If you do both metas and find most of the hidden chests a day, you get enough to be able to make two of the exotic versions. Completing those collections and doing the metas again and finding most of the chests is enough to make the ascended skins. So two days to make two Heroic Dragonsblood weapons is finely paced.

Tammuz.7361 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Making it tradeable would also make serpentite consistent with all other ‘jewels’ of this type (freshwater pearls, maguuma, lilly’s, intact mosaic’s, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khisanth.2948 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 On the other hand Sunset jewels are also account bound ... we should probably stop trying to justify anything with "consistency", that isn't going to go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It problably was already bought or removed by the seller. It's new still. Assuming it's intended by ANet to be tradeable, we'll see more of it being offered/bought off the TP.

phs.6089 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I juts wonder why none in team of devs have though that there might be people that don't feel good crawling trough narrow corridors and maze?

Completing those collections and doing the metas again and finding most of the chests is enough to make the ascended skins. So two days to make two Heroic Dragonsblood weapons is finely paced. Only if you're doing the collection. It's a different story if you're trying to make the **GEAR**. Diviners is quite out of pace with basically all other stats in game. I can whip up a full set of viper or berserker in no time, assuming I have the fractal chests. On the other hand, grinding a full set of _insiginas_ to convert to diviners is taking at least a week. And that's with me spending time on the metas to get plate halves. Imagine if I had very little time a day and had to pay for those plates. And before anyone says so, the "use raid boxes" argument is invalid, because I'm comparing the difficulty of acquiring the **insiginas** against say....vipers, or commanders, or berserkers. Vipers is also an acc bound insignia that is considerably easier to obtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtena.7952 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I found out after some investigation you can buy the plates to do the content. Smart Anet. Anet still wants you to do the content to get the jewels. If you are willing to buy the jewels on the TP ... the plates are just as good. IMO, the plates are better option than buying the jewel.

Vipers is also an acc bound insignia that is considerably easier to obtain. There is a lot wrong with the collection all the way through regardless. Having a daily resource to make a stat item is very much trash, but consider Celestial gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If you can put up with exotics you have the option of some diviner gear pieces from reward tracks that happen to be account-bound similar to ascended. Items such as Confessor Caudecus's Mask , Dragonscale Headdress , Corsair Turban , Dragonscale Epaulets , Houndskin mantle, Olmakhan Mantle , Corsair Jerkin, Glacial Gauntlets , Corsair Leggings , Mursaat Brogans. As far as soulbound, Triumphant and Glorious have the stat. However, making them sellable wouldn't really help in the short term if drop rate is horrible. Instead I'd wish for addition of serpentite jewel into the reward tracks, much higher rate from dwarven chests, and guaranteed from completion of meta wouldn't be bad either.

Sicarine.3985 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 It is guaranteed from the meta, in a way. The LoD hidden chest in the treasure room has 3 guaranteed. It's a different story if you get stuck for 27 minutes trying to get the graveling plate and LoD buff disappears before you make it to the treasure room > @"Eloc Freidon.5692" said: > There is a lot wrong with the collection all the way through regardless.

I don't see the point, though. If I have grasped the concept correctly, this new stat combo is only useful in non-open world content, right? So who would wear exotics in raids, high-level fractals, or in WvW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 What happens when this becomes another Serpent's Ire situation where the meta no longer completes/succeeds because all of those who were able to get their jewels early on no longer populate the map? The rest of us more casual players end up being gated out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they didn't make it a 1-kill-get-the-plate thing, but this RNG is utter BS. I have better things to do than to waste my time trying to get some RNG crap to drop from a mob.

The rest of us more casual players end up being gated out? If the jewels were tradeable maybe people would problably still do them for profit... Considering they are not exactly a common drop, they would problably be selling for about the same value as a Intact Mosaic which is also another thing with a super low drop rate.
