So as a crafter I find it really hard to farm runics, At the current time i have to buy all platinum runics from staff, which gets very expensive because the return u end up getting from selling them isn't that great because the only market is newer players which I don't mind because i enjoy helping new player's, but u lose alot of ED by doing it. So I have came up with an idea I personally like and would like to hear feedback.


So I'd like to see a bran new dungeon area, but at the very begining of this dungeon there is a monster like the Stygian Dragon for example one that's going to take a whole group to do it not something easy so people can't sit and farm the runic's and ruin the market on them but at the same time also giving crafters the chance to farm them together. Now once you kill this monster he drop's something along the lines of doing the citadel, you get the 3 keys and u get a key ring then it teleport's you inside the real dungeon where you will able to farm the runics. So basically the monster would be dropping a ticket that u can use to enter with a party of people. Once inside the real dungeon area there would be a mini champ of elemental's that drop the runics, all type's not just blacksmithing one's but also fletching ones etc. Also like travesty it should have a time limit of how long your party can stay there for so groups are not just getting 1 ticket and staying there all day farming. This way the monster outside doesn't have to be on a long timer and people can always get inside with out running into other group's that are farming the runics. Now each level of the mini champ I believe should be the higher teir elemental's making it a harder mini champ to complete not just all one type of elemental like Toxic then Electrum then Platinum for example. I think this would be something that would be very challenging considering that Platinum's and Toxic's both have the chance to 1 hit a player. It would cause the party to have to work together and come up with new idea's on way's to be able to finish the mini champ. Again feed back would be greately appreciated.
crafting and craft rewards were meant to be for hardworking blacksmiths that completed bods, not for warriors to farm and skip crafting/bods

  This would be interesting, though I would be against the use of pets in this dungeon setting. Using pets to get the ticket/tickets to go to the elemental dungeon area would be okay. An ethereal mount would be okay in this area, but maybe no mount would make it more of a challenge; thus making the rewards gained economically balanced.

  Runic charges should be kept low as well, so we all have a reason to come back and play with the deadly elements. More thought would also need to go into creating the monsters found there, due to the fact that a crafted two-handed axe, with whirlwind and elemental slayer, would just kill the whole fun of the place.

  Sounds fun, where can I sign up?

most things like stygian dragon etc are slashers that release pets.. or like the sphrillix 1 hits them.. so people wouldnt be able to use them and im hoping staff something like this, id love to see something like this in game, i think it would be very challenging and fun and lots would enjoy it

Well im pretty sure the staffs answer will be, bod rewards will provide what crafters need. Otherwise they would not have removed the plat ele spawn in Wisp dongeon. Also dont forget about mining with garg pickaxes.

that still dont help bowcrafters farm them. they literally get maybe 2-3 hits on a tree before it runs out so dont have much chance of getting a elemental when farming. you could spend 8 hours farming only 50 runic kits

How come people keep thinking that BS is the only craft out there..




GOSH! Bow crafting is just as important as BS.. and yes hours of work has gone into getting runics... So much that its way way easier just to buy from staff.
