Suggestion to let us gamble for idols or some other way to target farm certain affixes. The crafting system allows for your current gearing to work(somewhat) . I have not found a single idol with my desired combo of affixes and find myself settling.
It may be time for a stash wipe. I feel like the top players(ladder) have an advantage as they have near perfect idols(from hours and hours of farming) and gear that cant be gambled for now. **looks at boneclamor barbute
Nothing against the top ladderers. They would probably be up there with bad gear any how Im just saying I definitely feel behind or at a disadvantage.

Iād be for something like this. Obviously some level of gear grind is expected/encouraged in an ARPG, but I do think that as it is now, some Idols (the class idols in particular) can literally make or break some builds and it feels a bit too punishing just searching mindlessly for them. An example is on my Werebear druid Iām trying to find specific totems to proc skills while Iām in werebear form, and Iām just not getting the right drops, sadly because of the way the infinite scaling works right now, Iām just leveling my build while farming for the item I actually need to get stronger and eventually (if Iām very unlucky) will hit a wall.
I think straight gambling might be too easy though.
Maybe a twofold approach like:
- add a forging material (rare) that allows reroll of the affix values of idols specifically (this would be nice for when you finally get the right affixes, but have bad values).
- maybe some way to convert x idols into a new idol of the same type? That way thereās a place to dump old idols to get new idols (whereas right now youād sell old idols for gold for gear thatās not idols).

Donāt worry, you wonāt be when MP is implemented & most of us restart from scratch on their servers.
It would be nice to gamble idols though, since theyāve said they donāt want us to be able to craft idols.

i really like both these ideas. They could also just straight up have them in the shop for sale. I found some of my best ābasesā for gear in the shop. (which is sad. I would love to gear up as I play with world drops instead of monolith runs for gold so I can gamble)
Idols could be bought at the shop pre 0.7.7. They took them out together with uniques. Drop rate got nerfed, too. Good idols are hard to find. They are obviously considered āendgame gearā.
Itās hard when you miss specific idols to make your build take off. But I think its intended.
Idols are the last real items to farm for. Iām against getting them in another way then finding it while grinding.
so youre telling me that you used to be able to buy them and they upped the drop rate? and didnt do a wipe? now i feel really behind. lol It would be interesting if they didnt wipe but treated things like D3s ptr where drop rates are very high for everything so that we all can test builds
Donāt know why you feel ābehindā. This is a closed beta and things are tested. Whatās the problem with that?
Yeah, especially when the implement MP & our current characters donāt get moved over.
