Greater stygian farm is bad

[Van]

Even in a x3 server i have to kill all bosses, the event is timed and you can't do them all, worst of all you need this thing for so many items and upgrades it is ANNOYING, the rest of the game you can farm whenever you want but a timegated event like this and the quantity is just bad. Even worse when you are in a PVP server and all the lvl91 are farming the place gating others from advancing, i got through but jesus i swear it can be better somehow.

"ancestral weapons"

that's 1500 greater shard PER weapon. the other ingredients isn't very easy to get either.

Yeah you seem to need way too many greater shards. It's 600 lesser shards per tier 1 passive. Then 600 greater for tier 2 and 1000 for tier 3.. which you don't even really start getting greater shards until you're 80+.. so that's already insane. One of the tier 2 passives is doing 10% more damage to V Bloods but by the time you have that many shards you've practically killed them all..

On top of this, as you mentioned, there's many other things like the ancestral weapons, stygian summoning circle, etc. All while, again as you mentioned, the PvP aspect of grinding these spots.

I think as it is the stygian stuff starts too late. You can convert the lesser shards to greater but I think it's like 6:1? So over 1k lesser shards turns into only like 300 greater.

Worse, its 9:1... at least in the server i was playing

yeah, it's kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to get to where you need to get the blood key, and have to wait an hour for rift incursions to show up

The event itself is boring and the grind is definitely too much. Pink and Legendary weapons can drop from the event, but like I've gotten only 1 orange mace, 5 pink maces and 5 pink Greatswords, yay. Getting the rest of the weapons means grinding this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over and over, only getting around 1k greater shards by the end of each run means I'll need to farm it for entirely too long.

Meanwhile the Blue Weapons which are just downgrades to the pinks drop like candy and can be salvaged into... a few iron ingots and 1 scourgestone yay.
