Rare crystal dust is impossibly rare, so are gems

I've made something like 15aa's since the change in zones such as deep fire grottos (where mobs dropped a very difficult map), everchill yetis, mielc, highkeep, kedgekeep fishmen, elds castle, catacombs etc. and haven't had a single rare crystal dust drop. I also haven't had anyone reply to my /auc to buy one, aside from getting a link that apparently dropped off a named in Catacombs! To make one augment this is way out of line, requesting the drop rate be upped a lot as JC augment making is dead at the moment.

Also it seems rare gems have been reduced a LOT, in the space of hunting mentioned above i've managed to walk away with one black sapphire and nothing else (some other gems like sapphire that make junk have dropped, and some taken by other members for money), haven't seen a single diamond drop in this space of time either.

It appears gem drops have been balanced in terms of their money's worth, combined with the removal of vendors Jewelcrafting 200+ has been destroyed. The items you can make with JC would have to be raised in stats very significantly or their sale value wont make them worth combining (for example, star ruby ring - combine cost 120pp or so.. no player will pay much over 150pp for one..). I don't see the point in combining something that has a vendor value of 120pp precombine just for the pleasure of standing around at the bank for 20 minutes trying to sell it for 30pp more, I could make more money buffing for donations (which I don't do either!).

My suggestion is to please restore gem drops back to their previous level and nerf their vendor sale value. Also rare crystal dust needs to drop much much more.


Thanks! :brow:
 
I increased the drop rate of rare crystal dust, and I think upping gem drop rate but lowing their price is a good idea.

I got a Rare Crystal Dust drop from a Sand Giant. How much does it sell for?

Sold my Rare Crystal Dust to Maimai tonight. Got another Rare Crystal Dust and a Black Sapphire I'll be selling to her if she wants.
 
Maimai,
I have one rare crystal dust sitting in the bank that I have been saving for you, but I keep forgetting about it. Send me a tell in game.

I've got a rare crystal dust as well, send a tell to Siimson the next time I'm on
 
I like the way Maimai put this :

I suggest you rename this item "not-so-rare crystal dust" and nerf the augment. ;p
