Feedback Dunes of Desolation

Based on wiki and test server community, I've drawn a graph of what to collect and where to exchange it.

Spoiler: Graph

Improvements are welcome.

For example, you want a Waistband. You will need
13 Dreamcatchers -> 26 Sprayer -> 10400 Bone Coins

UPD:
Modified graph to include more options. Updated challenges graph

 

you forgot most important item: jewels of enhancement from Fahid

The graph I'll use:

Monsters -> Bone Coins -> Fahid -> jewels of enhancement -|
^----------------------------<----------------------------------|

 

The graph is minimalistic. Yeah, there are a temporary epic mount, costumes etc. To me - irrelevant. 100000 for Jewel - impossible for me, so not included. Sorry, if caused misunderstanding

 

How long does it take to get 100000 bone coins?

 

That is for the blue belt.
If you are going for the black belt it will take you 36x400=14400 bone coins.
BUT ... that is Tier 1 belt.
For Tier 3 you will need (14400x4)x3 = 172800 Bone coins + 2000 drakens + 130 gold.

If 100K bone coins is mission impossible for you don't even start playing

BTW if you are after that belt there is a shortcut.
Farm the other two maps ... buy keys with bone coins ... farm medium and big quartz stones (small quartz stones are dropping in the Great Desert which is free to access) and get keys for the boss' room (from quest).
Sharr Kharab is dropping at least 2x2 currencies even in normal difficulty (in excruciating 2x5 or 3x5). Plus a possible amulet drop.

If my calcs are right you need:
1 white flour = 3 finest hearts
1 finest heart = 200 bone coins
so 1 white flour = 600 bone coins

Ornamentation red/green/blu
lev 1 = 24 white flours
lev 2 = 24x4 = 96 white flours
lev 3 = 96x3 = 288 white flours = 288x600 = 172.000 bone coins + 2000 draken

Ornamentation black
lev 1 = 30 white flours ----> lev 3 = 216.000 bone coins + 2000 draken


400 Bone Coins = 1 Precious Sprayer
2 Precious Sprayer = 1 Beaded Dreamcatcher
1 Beaded Dreamcatcher= 800 bone coins

Wastbaind red/green
Lev 1 = 10 Beaded Dreamcatcher
Lev 3 = 120 Beaded Dreamcatcher = 96.000 bone coins + 2.000 drakens

Wastbaind blue
Lev 1 = 13 Beaded Dreamcatcher
Lev 3 = 156 Beaded Dreamcatcher = 124.800 bone coins + 2.000 drakens

Wastbaind red/green
Lev 1 = 18 Beaded Dreamcatcher
Lev 3 = 216 Beaded Dreamcatcher = 172.800 bone coins + 2.000 drakens

So if you want set Lev3 you need at least 172.000 + 96.000 = 268.000
plus thousands of bone coins to enter in boss cave.

Get 2 jewels of enhancements (200.000 bone coins) is a goal more realistic for me and more usefull

 

^This times 1 million.

I have no use for any of the gear, but those gem stones can be worth either 65.7k or 162k andermant if used as a sacred gem stone. I have three stones left and five offensive gems that need to be improved up to Royal, so if I get 2, I know exactly what to save them for. If I get more than 2, then they will be used towards making royal defensive gems. If you ask me, it is a lot easier to farm for one of these stones than it is to farm for 121.5k andermant (buying the gems on sale) and having to pay the gold to combine them.

 

How long it take to get 200k bone coin? how many bone coin i can farm per hour? ( i'm an average sm with 5k base dmg and alot blue ess to use)

 

No one knows answer to that question. Drop of bone coins are not so good on TS... and than thay nerf it . Now event is coming on regular server, where usealy thay cut down % of drop so......

 

I'm going for Flying Carpet and drakens

 

when this ewen starts?

 

On hungarian forum they posted, that event will come tomorrow - in theory-

 

Second delay... we'd better get a completely bug-free event .

 

when start event?

Third... THIRD delay... I can barely contain myself so I'll just log out... damn incompetents...

 

I can't agree with this. Many players said before that it is better to postpone the event than to release it with bugs that can potentially ruin the event and I agree with them. What is the problem with waiting few more days (unless your entire life is this game )?

As for the event, I think its OK and it will be fun playing because of all the diversities.
I really like the flying carpet mount (hope that it will have the appropriate animation for it). Diversity in equipment is a good thing because you can customize your character even more...

What I really hate are low drops of bone coin (that I know will be on the live server, sorry if I'm proven wrong but this is from the experience till now) and those timed mini events (I hate all timed mini events because I usually don't get to play them). You must consider that not all players can play every day and at the specific time you give (a bit positive thing is the fact that you cut it in more periods of the day and it lasts longer for that fact). We all have our real life to live...

Not related directly to this event, but I have to state that I don't like the direction all 'new' events are going to. This is related to the grinding part. Every new event is just more and more grinding. This is becoming more and more boring. I think you should start working in a different direction. I prefer more action.

 

I know it has been said in this post earlier but in terms of events(wont talk of the other problems), they are coming worst and worst every year. Im an old player, i played this game from the beginning and in that time the events were simply awesome. We(players), were always wondering when the event would start to get our hands on the prizes, such as itens and stuff. Recently, the events dont have that prizes that motivate us to do the event entirely; New itens that in the majority doesnt fit in mid-good chars, and some rewards that just arent good enough. Bigpoint just dont know how to satisfy drakensang players, instead of improving from our feedbacks, they just dont care. And when they see that we are taking advantage of something, they always do something that will detoriate our experience and rewards. I will exemplify with dragan event: i dont know if all users in forum remember of the first dragan event but i do. It was maybe the best event i ever done in drakensang, a new set that was interesting, great rewards, lots of draken and many more. And when time passed, the new dragan events were nerfed and the event to me became boring. The only events that are good for me and in general for all players is the fullmoon and newmoon event, even if to get all set means hard work and lots of time. I dont know what they are planning to do in the future, but i would suggest events with better rewards(not those from this new event that to me are bad), maybe better drops and also more simplicity. WAKE UP BIGPOINT!!
