Starlink, why dont you just craft a cheap quiver? Its not that hard, or expensive.. im sure you have 50 ectos somewhere, and 250 ancient bones.. not expensive.. there, PROBLEM SOLVED

Assuming he’s got a vial, I don’t think this is unreasonable. Barring really bad drops, you should get enough money and/or ectos getting to level 20 to make yourself an ascended back piece, unless you’re skipping the vast majority of the mobs. Bare minimum doing each fractal set once and getting a gold from each should pull in 20g by the time you absolutely need that back piece, the bones will run you 6g~, the ectos another 15~ assuming you didn’t salvage any on your way up.

where are you getting your T6 mats / Ectos? O_o and can I has some?

I made the fang based quiver.

Each fang was ~15s making that ~37g 50s
Each Glob was ~25s making that another ~12g 50s
Waiting and buying when costs were low it was a bit over 40g for my non infused quiver. That doesn’t give you a single point of resistance by the way. Still gotta make an infusion or infuse the quiver.

My point was that to even arrive at level 20 you have to clear 19 fractal sets, which will give you at least a gold per fractal set (I usually make about 2g/set) and plenty of tokens for the infusion. If you use bones instead of fangs, the cost for the fine mats falls to <7 gold, so you should be able to afford the total cost of 19~ with the 20-40 gold you made getting to that point.

So the argument then becomes not “I can’t get any agony resistance because it is totally random” but rather “I don’t want to spend my money and/or get agony resistance with a stat combo that is suboptimal for my build”.

The argument becomes kitten where’d you get that vial to make a backpack? Oh yea… RNG. (got 1 after 1800 tokens made in fractals)

You’re right that the vial introduces an RNG element, but I would like to point out that the OP didn’t complain about lack of vials. Your odds of not getting one on the way to level 20 are extremely low unless you’re skipping a lot of content.

you’re contradicting yourself.

I like to be in your party and play fractals with u but i can’t because u kick people who have no agony resistance. So is that my fault the Anet hates me and doen’t give me a ring? while others who have done less runs then me have 2 or more rings?

Your post would be completely different if u weren’t so lucky (or as i like to say if Anet did hate u like they hate me.) I believe the items are not random they are bugged and bugged for some people for a reason. Because Anet is constant tinkering with the droprate’s.

It is starting to notice not only with the agony rings but also with rare and exotic stuff.

Agree. I feel like the droppings are not random. My ele always has bad luck while my guard always loots a lot of rares. Although I don’t like guard that much, I’m now thinking of elevating it’s frac lvl to do the daily. Because I really need rings. I’ll try if guard has better luck.

working as intended and cant wait for fractals 2.0 the next day. That dungeon is going to rock.
No they wont release the items other than dungeons that was said to keep you playing and pacify you. If they do the grind will be so horrendous it will shame all of Korea.

Get use to the new direction because this is exactly how it works and how it is going to play out.
