New uses for un-popular lodes?!
Don’t know if I like the idea of the dragons dropping specific cores/lodestones/new specific crafting mats. (But the new armor ideas and more world bosses I can get behind). It really just turns into another grind if people want a specific look, or need to farm lodestones for something else.
It would be nice if things were some how normalized in terms of cost. I haven’t looked at all of the lodestone recipes, so maybe charged lodes are used in more things, but it’s most likely that the players want to make whatever need charged lodes over the other things. If that’s the case it’s the players who are making charged cost so much.
That being said, I wouldn’t mind some sort of normalization/conversion being added, as I’d rather things be more affordable than not. Why not let us turn 2 lodestones into 1 of another type, it’d lower the overpriced ones, and raise up the other ones. Preferably a crafting (just to save clicks at the forge), maybe jewelry at 450-500, and it could be another use for ascended mats, which most people have too many stockpiles of right now.
As far as new world bosses, I have a bet we’re gonna see 1-2 new ones soon. The “to be determined” in the world boss cycle will most likely be filled up by a new one soon in season 2.
