Hey been enjoying the grind … Mostly .
I understand the base model of the game has to start somewhere low to not have instant power creep, but I’ve got over a 100 hours in the game just hit 100 on my rune master and I really wish Cof had better ways to boss farm .
I literally pick up endless exalted items for all these what if? Scenarios. but I’ve literally only done like 6 legendary slams total because I just never really get uniques to slam into for my build .
Seems imbalanced imo.
I just collect items for all these ideas that just never happen because I literally just don’t get opportunities for it too .
It feels like the main mechanic/ of the game is just an illusion that truly only kinda happens on occasion .but when I first started the game I was like ohh I see what I’ll be doing … Then it just never actually does…seems strange and a bit like a carrot on a stick.
Just my personal opinion I don’t mind grinding etc
I just wish I could actually grind slam fail repeat more often then just like grind grind grind grind grind find slam fail .
My bank is filled with items that will never even be used . Begins to Hoard treasure …
We all wish for that. It’s been stated several hundred times I guess. Also it looks like you’re playing a build that wants multiple of those rare boss uniques. I would say you can’t really expect successful legendary slams after “only” 100 hours. Having done 6 at this point sounds fair to be honest.
Yes, it is the endgame loop to re-farm the uniques of your build for more LP or better slams than you already have. But you wouldn’t reach that point this fast with most classes.
Thanks for the response
Tbh honest I had super great luck with 4/6 of my slams haha rng god’s blessed me there…
But ya Itd be nice to be able to slam more often and even fail more often but it’s basically a mechanic that doesn’t even occur is what I’m kinda saying for me at least .
But when I started playing it seemed like it was gonna be a main point of the grind but it definitely isn’t .
Like I said, you’re targeting items that are extremely rare for they are boss only drops to begin with and a rare drop on top of that. This isn’t the norm and a known bottle-neck for CoF-players.
Haha, good luck. Those aren’t even boss drops but “very rare” random drops. You can force them with unique ring prophecies. Just don’t expect a drop within the first 10 prophecies.
I was thinking Frostbite Shackles and Twisted Heart as your next targets.
Lol oh dear God why am I farming the age of winter boss …noo I read it was a boss drop rare somewhere
I got a twisted heart , strand of souls etc but the twisted heart isnt that great for me tbh other items currently beat it out on my build maybe it’ll have use if I switch up some things .
But ya guess I’ll go for the gloves now that I know the age of winter boss is pointless thx!
Join merchant’s guild then… that’s how it works in MG. Grind, slam, repeat. Buy the unique with LP, buy the exalted, slam, repeat… You can also grind the empowered mono that drops the unique / exalted you need while farming the gold to purchase things… MG lets you sort of double-dip that way.
Appreciate the advice , but I wanted the merits of getting gear on my own and the reason I chose COF is because I don’t feel pressured to join seasonal content and get fomo on market and hoarding and amassing wealth all the time kinda just wanted to play the game to play the game .
But the reason of the thread as I’m sure many have said b4 it just feels off in some way .
One is instant gear MG and the other is Never get Gear I don’t think it should feel so extreme exp for those who want to grind but feel a bit more action in the game .then hoarding stuff that won’t ever be used .
Haha ya I’m doing prophecies and using the 80/90 lenses , what I’m basically saying something just feels like it could be better what exactly. Not sure , maybe take 1 % rare drops make them 5% ? Reason is if you do get the drop and it blessed to have 1 lp
Then I brick it after 5-10 hours of grinding just doesn’t seem parallel to Merchant guild where people basically give builds away to gain favor and even with les. Drops you can still get a drop for a diff build and sell to fully equip your build class.
What I’m getting at is the grind to 100 in COF is great but the end game kinda rng into oblivion.
What if there’s a place to give or destroy hi Lp uniques or high rarity uniques that have varied favor value depending on its Lp and rarity .
Reasoning? Because it’ll give value to items that don’t help your build but are Uber rare drops .
By turning in or scrapping it to a certain npc ,said uniques will let you gain a different form of favor that can contribute to unique / boss rewards or amplifiers.
Just remember, MG and COF are not meant to be parallels and they are not meant to be equivalent, or comparable. MG is better than COF, by design, because when EHG was designing trade for LE, as a feature, they polled the playerbase and some players did not want to trade at all. COF was created as an alternative to MG, not as something comparable, but something completely different for solo players.
I don’t think MG and COF are meant to be “balanced” by design.
