Salvage

So what to think of how salvage. I think with all the limits hampering that might cause it to suck.

[Claquesous]

Hard to say. I think it depends on what the rewards are before I'd judge it.

I think it's going to be Awesome, if only to just do something new once. I mean Besieged isnt the best in the world because of lag and stuff like that but it was super fun to do when it was something new. Anyway, We should do more assaults.

The rewards are DEFINITELY worth it. I'd been talking to Kaelsam regarding it and the gear is outrageous. Problem is you use assault points to enter...so guess I need to accumulate some more hehe.

Which brings me back to my other post, LETS DO SOME ASSUALTS!!!!!!!
I rest my point XD

I looked through the THF gear and I have to say it is just stupid good. Pretty much every piece is better or comparable to what I currently have. Some of them are significantly better than any other piece out there.

I did a little more reading on Salvage and found out that it looks like it'll be rather unfeasible to get a full set of gear. It's not like Dynamis where stuff just drops. It's more like AF+1 where you need to farm stuff and also trade in materials. Unlike Limbus where the crafted items are fairly cheap, these items are prohibitively expensive.

The cost for any set of gear is:
10x O. Ingot = 3.5 m
10x Wootz Ingot = 3 m
10x Bloodwood Lumber = 1m
10x Wamoura Cloth = 125k
10x Marid Leather = 100k

50x Imperial Gold Pieces = 1m

Plus 15 armour drops from Salvage. Assuming you get one per run (not necessarily a good assumption) you spent 2k Assault points at an opportunity cost of around 100k. Gives:

30k Assault Points = 1.5m

This totals up to over 10million gil for a full set at current prices. This may be rather pessimistic and it's using opportunity costs that most people seem to ignore, but I'm not sure the rewards are DEFINITELY worth it anymore. So at this point, I'm kind of thinking we should definitely do more assaults since those cost little and sound fun and give good rewards. If some want to save up their points for Salvage then good. Others can just spend their points on the existing rewards. Anyway, here's a link to info on Salvage

i'm down for some assaults, and would like to get the amir set, which is 20k AP's in each assault area >.< i got 20k in ilrusi atoll already but still need 20k in the remaining assaults >.> so much to do in so little time lol.

This is looking to be more of an option for our LS members now. Prices have cooled down on alot of the crafting materials, and we've just gotten more LS members past the point in ToAU missions that are a pre-requisite for it. Kolob is wanting to setup an Assault group (on a daily or bi-daily basis) so we can build our points. With a bunch of higher level people in the LS we can definitely do Assault runs more often if we can get some times setup, and then possibly move on to trying Salvage at a later time.

Yeah, doing salvage could be fun, especially with you guys. I would definitely like some of the armor that you can get from there.
