beyond level 8/9 cost / efficiency strongly suffers
i think for a "Normal" endgameplayer level 5+ is fine
Perfectly agree with this post! Here is why:
Just a "small" fix: if you plan to PvP and be on top kill, then kinda needed 11-12, but the costs is to high: "efficiency strongly suffers".
At f2p server league side, check Carlos or xCarlosX or whatever name has. He deals tanking s4 mostly - with Patr 4 and some incredible low runes. Forgot how much but is 4 or 6 ( some blue runes) , at S4 the difficulty is the player doesn't care about buff/ debuff, circles and so on.
At pvp battlegrounds it helps the most to not be a lot under geared: like everyone is in Blue + 1-2-3 epic, and if you go there with green and a few blue from S3, if will be ahrd to survive against 3 attackers... but like I mention on the other thread ppl don't really care about objective in Skirmish: Just jump in the middle of opponents, use very high dmg AoE spells and those who have Assault sield use the defense ( for 6 sec) then try to walk away.... instant top dps, escpecially at WH with 2x dmg buff, or near flags spawn at capture the flag, middle zone.
There you don't really need runes. Like I presented 4 players did more dps and more kill then the whole other team and they loose... So, is more about how you use your gear, then how much runes have you.
If I would start again I would use around 5, max 6 runes.
There is a healer: Kittax, with this runes and Patr 4, but is geared and deals very well, at S4.
Lets do a bit math. Lets say we have 9/8 runes and we want 10/9.
The npc exchange now it is 1823-1898. The middle it is: 1860.
From the shop 1 cystal = 2 CC, so 1 CC it is: 930g.
It results "
85893645" gold. Now divide to the number to get the crystals amount: 46179 crystals needed.
100 euro purchase it is: 10000 Crystals + 700 Bonus Crystals =
10700 crystals
So you need 400 euro + 50 euro.
Or if you "farm" 100k gold / day, need like 3 years...only for runes upgrade: +10% att and +5% def.
Better upgrade gears, is temporar, but more efficient.
