idpersona.3810 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Thnx for that. Yup, that's a silly amount of essences needed. Gen 2 weapons did similar but at least they were with generic mats. It will be interesting to see how farming groups form around this. Happy hunting all. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all meta events are out so maybe the later ones reward more. I dont know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and Gen 2's you can just buy the mats and I don't think you can buy the essence so that's a lot of grinding rifts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the legendary rifts are going to be the best way to go when they finally come out. I can see legendary rift hunting squads running the maps the way leviathan hunting and leg bounty squads operate now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't gotten in game yet. Does it cost materials to open them? Close them? Or do all players who participate have to spend materials to get rewards?

From what I understand, the person opening the rift needs to use a crafted item to make it a T2 or T3 rift. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and the amount of t2 and t3 essences that you'll need will make crafting those items pretty expensive in the long run. I already see people talking about mooching off people with the items and honestly I don't blame them lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looking at it that way for each one crafted multiple people should be getting rewards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly see how some would feel that way. Comparison to Silverwastes shovels come to mind, but those don't have to be crafted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuks.8241 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Yeah shovels come to mind. But you get those while playing the meta anyway so its not really a loss. And I usually just sent them to comm if hes the one doing the showeling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I’m picturing rift trains, with commanders periodically announcing “tips are appreciated to keep opening rifts” 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beleron.9347 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 "Shoveling" seems to be an appropriate metaphor where rifts are concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idpersona.3810 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I was just thinking about the list of requirements and it seems weird to me that each armor item needs full SotO map completion. Not unacceptable obviously. Just funny that you need to run around the full map 6 times for 1 weight of armor. Those rifts are going to take far longer, so this is a drop in the bucket for time spent on this. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoSundown.5419 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 So, does that solve the reported issue with SotO metas being unrewarding? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
