When buying Heroic/Legendary shard armor with Primal Velium Shards, you now have three choices.
- If you’ve got the various gems that drop in different instances, and you have faction, then head to the Ry’Gorr camp in Eastern Wastes. Each piece of armor will cost you 52 shards.
- If you don’t have the necessary gem but want your armor anyway, and have faction, then head to Thurgadin in Great Divide. Each piece of armor has a cost ranging from 33-90 shards.
- And if you know a crafter who has acquired the two Far Seas recipe books to make this armor , then you don’t need faction and can spend 25% less shards.
Thurgadin Armor
- Shoulders and Legs – 90 Shards from the Merchant / 69 Crafted
- Cap – 71 from the Merchant / 54 Crafted
- Shoes and Gloves – 52 from the Merchant / 40 Crafted
- Bracers – 33 from the Merchant / 25 Crafted
Ry’Gorr Armor
- All Slots – 52 Shards from the Merchant / 40 Crafted plus Gem
Thanks to Nindaene for putting these numbers together.
I think you mean crafted cost 25% less or 75% of the normal amount of shards.
76.546392% actually 😀
I take it there will be no refunds for purchases before this update ? ….. 🙁
That’s a massive reduction. I mean for TSO and SF the crafted gear was only like 1 or 2 shards less than buying from the NPC.
For once they do something right 😉
The reduction have to mean something so people will absolutly want them be crafted.
Just the price of Thurgadin gear should be 25/33 token for every slot.
And that would be perfect.
Ry’gor sell T3 stuff (kael chest drop from last name in TORZ)
Thurgadin sell T2 stuff (Fortress spire last name drop the chest)
missing T1 stuff for fair amount of shard like 5/8 token piece…
T1 would be the quested or PQ stuff. No treasured this time.
