The drop rate vs success rate seems a bit brutal for us casual players.
Just a suggestion for our friends at EHG. Maybe a bit of love for the drop rate of these next season?

Itâs arguably the most powerful crafting item in the game. Itâs supposed to be very very rare.

Yeah, its possible the ultra endgame meta is to farm Despair runes on CoF before going back to your MG main to use them XD.

itâs cool to be able to lock an attribute and free up space for a new one ⌠but the glyph really only works reliably on T1, maybe T2. So itâs not really all that awesomeâŚyou end with with another T1 or T2 attribute.
And every time I managed to seal a T4, the game decided that the next two crafts eat up maximum forge potential, so I end up with a new T2 and no FPâŚ

yea, I think they named them Despair because thatâs the feeling you get when you burn an item with all the right attributes trying to seal a high level one
I never use despair to seal affixes I wantâŚI use them to remove low-tier crap affixes I donât want getting smashed in sanctum.

The power of them comes from being able to pull off a specific affix to open a new spot on that piece of gear so you can put the perfect affix in itâs place. If you get to seal something thatâs actually useful for your build thatâs just the cherry on top. You can also get a bunch of them as prophecy rewards.
Well arguably the space you created is why it is so powerful, as you can now place a t5 of ANYTHING in there. That is incredibly potent. Furthermore there are many affixes that are almost at the peak of their power at t1. The +level ones are a prime example, but there are others. Example: some are x% chance of something happening and the first tier might give you 50% chance. Subsequent tiers may then only increase the range by 10% more, so the t1 point is the most potent and delivers great value if sealed.

Yep, had this happen to me on a 40fp exalted. Sealed the T3 affix, Then used up the remaining 34lp on the next 2 crafts. Considering all the stuff that canât use Hope, it should have a much better success rate, or a always 1/2 the potential cost of the craft, on top of the use 0fp/critical success chance it has now.
As good as LEâs crafting is, itâs still has more memorable âfeels badâ moments, than it does âfeels goodâ. Because even when you happen to get lucky and seal that T4 affix, when that T1 eats 18fp, it completely negates the entire thing.
Itâs subjectively worse than never having sealed the T4 in the first place.
Sometimes, it certainly feels that way. Although having a T4 + T1 is better than just the T3, it certainly makes the âhaving funâ part take a massive hit. Finally getting that exalted you can craft, and use an an upgrade, just brick in 2 or 3 crafts certainly sucks

If youâre CoF, you can run Prophecies that hand them out in bulk.
Yeah, I just use prophecies for those. I collected many until i felt I had enough. Its easy as long as you have favor to reroll until you find correct prophecies.
Now Iâm starting to see value in CoF XD
If I remember right, you can farm tons of runes of ascendance too. I think farming tons of them and then swapping to MG and trying to get a red ring of Altaria is a solid playâŚwill have to test XD
