Tuning Orbs in cash shop

[Fintan]

I can feel it in my guts, Tuning Orbs will be in the cash shop.
Not at launch, but they are coming for sure.
---
And I can hear the talk :
- New World's staff : "Not every player have time to craft Tuning Orbs bla bla bla we need to improve players' life quality bla bla bla"
- Community : "So why did you bring Tuning Orbs to the game?"
- New World's staff : "hum... That's a tough one..."
---
See you in one year for the truth.

I suspect you are correct on the orbs going into store as they are needed for a part of the game. I think the orbs can be crafted but would have to check. I would imagine that crafters may want to sell crafted orbs and can see that orbs in cash store could spell bad news for players that craft to sell [if that is possible in game] as well as those needing orbs for intended use.

I can not verify any of the facts right now [as typing] so I guess it is going to be a case of wait and see.

Actually I think Tuning Orbs are pretty cool!
They will be very healthy for the IN-GAME economy.
And they will definitely be craftable, there is no question about that.
BUT, I'm pretty sure they also will be added on cash shop further xD
At this moment, they will become unhealthy for the IN-GAME economy, and for the whole game in general.

According to the info I've seen so far, they are craftable using the stonemasonry skill, there's no info wether they are bound on pickup or tradeable, but there is a limit on how many you can craft each week. And if I recall, someone said they could drop too, not long ago.

What are Tuning Orbs ?

Ah found it :

Tuning Orbs

To increase the rewards of expeditions, we have gated entrance to expeditions on one party member having a Tuning Orb. Turning orbs will be given for each expedition quest and can be crafted from materials found around Aeternum.

Tuning Orbs can be crafted with the stonemasonry skill.

Tuning Orbs have a limited number that can be crafted per week. Tuning Orbs for higher level expeditions have lower amounts of crafts per week.

Experience for one time and repeatable expedition have been greatly increased.

High level Tuning Orbs will require more resources, including drops from high-level Elite POI chests.

Let me guess how this could be affected by cash shop if they aren't in it directly- "Buy an orb craft pass that lets you craft more orbs per week".

I feel like Tuning Orb crafting needs to be unlimited. I think putting any sort of cap on how many expeditions (or any content in general) you can do per week is a bad idea. It's why i stopped playing Genshin Impact. There would still be an in game economy around them because a lot of people won't want to farm for mats to make it themselves.

It's limited and yeah I get that it would be kinda annoying, but they can also drop rarely.

This may be stupid but I keep seeing “POI” I’m gonna assume that’s for Points of Interest?

Maybe have a "lower level" Tuning Orb option that you can craft unlimited, but the drop chance for good gear would be extremely low (and lower XP) when you use it. So people who like to grind for gear still have that option.

I hope there is a cash shop personally.

So those orbs are used to just increase xp and loot or to enter the dungeon aswell?If i can enter a dungeon and farm it how many times i want, I don't mind too much those orbs.

One member of your group has to have a tuning orb to enter a dungeon as it stands now.
