Changes to level 95 content/lag

[MoeOfMagnesia]

Howdy!
I would like to propose a suggestion for the recipe low drop rate at level 95.

A big reason I like V&H is,it is very unique among MMORPGs. However I feel that the current method of obtaining the ability to make my own armor is backwards from the spirit of making it to the level cap.
I was able to make my own gear; then I turned 95. Leaving the recipe drops to the RNG or algorithm is frustrating. I do not believe it is random at all: I get the same gear over and over.

It could be changed to work as is, until you get complete faction with all or each factions respectively. The recipes could be added to purchased at existing vendors or a new one at this time.

On top of this to obtain said gear/recipes, I HAVE to do the lagged 95's featuring Jacinda for months, again frustration.

I am not a programmer but the single NPC (ie Domo) start is not a good solution. It may look raid like, but a starting lever is needed. Also, '/hop 2' or moving the bosses to there own zones is the only thing I can think of to suggest for the level 95 Elders.

I wanted to to try to offer something in effort to help. I did not check to see if any or all of this has already been brought up before. I am sure it has.

Thank you for a great game!!!
And thanks to a great player base !

I agree, the way things are set up now, is a lot of effort, for little reward, and no way to complete solo.
Never mind being fortunate enough to get a recipe you actually want to work on.
Jacinda is a complete mystery to me.

The 95 Elders aren't meant to be solo'd... but I think there's a Warrior (Antavious or Anthem?), who has managed to solo them.

The rewards are actually pretty awesome:

• 100g - 400g... highest I've gotten was over 340g from one run.
• 4x Elder Fragments... to try for Epic gear or max weapon feat.
• 4x Blight Recipes... random drops for Mythic gear, etc.
• 4x Blight Motes... 1x Primal or 7-9 Motes, for crafting Blighted gear and consumables.
• 4x Elder Preps... to add extra stats to Trinkets.
• 4x Chance for free Elder Mounts.
• Combat experience, to increase your Elder levels.

I agree that it's frustrating, to get useless copies of items we already have. I wish recipes were account bound, so I could pass them to my crafting alts, but I understand why the Otters make them soulbound (so we must level-up our alts and run 95s, if we want them to have Blighted recipes).

One suggestion I'd offer, is for the Devs to give all recipes, mounts and preps a gold value. So we may Vendor them, instead of just trashing. Maybe...

• 100g for Elder Mounts
• 5g for Blighted Recipes
• 5g for Purple Preps
• 3g for Blue Preps
• 1g for Green Preps
• 50s for White Preps

Now, about Jacinda... the first Jac to spawn is the real one. Attack her, hard and fast... until she says "...there are many." When multiple Jacs spawn, attack each one with an auto-attack. The one who shows damage of under 20k, is the real one. Attack the real Jac, until she splits again... repeat until she dies. Rounds will speed up towards the end and it will get harder to find the real Jac, before she splits. Good luck!

Personally I’d like to be able to sell them for a currency to be able to buy the couple random recipes I don’t have. But I honestly wouldn’t change 95 elders at all. They are different and fun. If they can fix the lag issues there really isn’t anything wrong with them.

Yea, I know, I just wish we could get the recipes etc some other way.
