Q:
Howdy, so I play this game very casually and I am a jewelcrafter. Now I don’t often have time to farm like others, so I mostly gather, make things, then salvage them for potential runes or really anything that could garner good money, Ori, ectos, etc. and what not as it’s easier for me. Now I made a ring out of the brilliant snowflakes and broke it down with a black lion kit, as I had a few saved up from lucky daily rewards.
And found the brilliant flake didn’t break, as a jewelcrafter I am used to sometimes getting back a material so I did it again, and again, and found it not breaking when I used my black lion kit. Now since the black lion kit specifically says it has a 100% chance to return upgrades I figured that this was working as intended since black lion chests are either rare or rather expensive (3 gold or so if changed to gems.) So I kept doing this until I ran out of black lion kits, i spent 8 gold or so on mithril, and earned 45 gold in ecto, so overall I made 37 gold.
I thought myself lucky, but today I see the content is gone, and see talk of it being an exploit and people will get banned, and now I am direly afraid that I will lose my account when I honestly wasn’t aware anything was amiss.
Heck I even reported it in the bugs section but then many other players told me it was because of how black lion salvage kits work and that it was working fine, now it seems that is not true and I’m just so worried.
So then for a TLDR version, I made 37 gold with the brilliant flakes salvaging thing without realizing it was anything seriously wrong, will I get banned?
I’d delete the ectos or get rid of the money or anything if that had to be done, I just couldn’t stand losing my account over this.
