Howd you afford the Worthy Premium flux????

This stuff is going for 1million each. Did you really spend 5million per attempt?

Or are the bots on our server that went to 400+ just buying up all the premium flux to keep everyone else from advancing and maintain a monopoly, as I suspect?

The way that I got +400 was by having a supportive clan that provided the fluxes and critting on the first try. ;)

I started watching AH for the fluxes around the end of the 1st week of release. I was able to get most of the mats for cheap and i only had to overpay for one flux. I think i paid at most 150k for the fluxes then paid 800k for the last one. I had enough mats for one try and got lucky. I've been very very lucky so far, getting gold crits about every 3 tries but now the price of Expert Maj Fluxes are through the roof so i've been doing helms to level.

There is no way i'd be able to do it now, the price of fluxes on our sever are 1-2mill per flux.

2 People in my legion pooled together enough Worthy Premiums for 4 attempts, and got it on the 4th. They pretty much leveled in Theo exclusively after 45.

Leveling from 44-49 in Theo I had enough Worthy Premiums for 3 attempts at Tailoring, and got my guildy to 400 on his second attempt =).

For legions with 10+ 45+ players, it's extremely easy to gather the worthy premiums needed.

You can also get the recipes to get superior fluxes and break them down into three lesser fluxes. You'd have to weigh the benefits though.

If you see one Awesome flux that costs 300,000 kinah and it disenchants into 3 Cool fluxes, make sure that Cool fluxes cost more than 100,000 or else you may be ripping yourself off.

That's the only other way I can think of it.

Except, no. I don't think you understand how it works.

1 Master Pre = 3 Expert Pre = 9 Worthy Pre = 27 Pre.

Similar to how:

1 Master Fine = 3 Expert Fine = 9 Worthy Fine = 27 Fine.

Go look it up if you don't believe it.

Hi, can you share where to get those moph recipes ? I'm also at 399 and unable to move to 400 expert due to the insane prices on the premium fluxes.

Cheers

Upper Abyss forts, look for quartermaster. The npc will sell it. Under Morph Fluxes. Your factions has to control the fort of course.

Hope that helps.

A few in my legion farmed for 5 of them and I crit the shield on the first try @level 35, so really it didn't cost me anything. And they benefited, so while it cost them some time, technically it didn't cost them anything either.

I am level 32, 399 armorsmith. I have never morphed anything. Is it possible for me to buy the morph recipes to go from Master>Expert>Worthy and do the morphing? Can I buy recipes with kinah or is it AP? Do I need to level my morphing skills before I morph the higher level items?

Are there other roadblocks to me morphing the Master fluxes?

ditto here. my guild is very helpful but i also crafted one hell of alot of lower level armors and sold them on the AH. If you get lucky and make alot of level 20s blues early on you can make alot of kinah on the ah. You also have the Morph Flux ablity you can use. (this is costly now but it was a good way early on). alot is luck. When making the last shield if ya get lucky and crit in first or second try. Thats jsut luck. I got lucky and critted on 2nd try. If i had not i would still be grinding to get the kinah to try again.

The Expert > Worthy morph recipes are in the Upper Abyss forts. You buy it with Kinah. No AP needed.

I have done Expert > Worthy morphs, so I can confirm they are skill level 1. Each morph requires 200 Divine Points (DP) + Morph vendor mats.

Previous posters covered pretty much all of it.

As for the the Master > Expert morphs... I think that might only be the fortress in the core? Either that or it might be the 3 middle fortresses at the top?

The three fortresses in lower abyss all have the same ones (Worthy > Normal). The outer-two fortresses in upper abyss have the next step up (Expert > Worthy). I'm guessing the inner 3 may either have the same as the outer two, or have the last step (Master > Expert). Haven't controlled it yet to find out though.

Regardless, the core would almost certainly have it if not.

Yea, I am taking a bit of a chance with this morphing stuff.

I just hit 399 Armorsmith last night, and have bought 2 Master Premium Fluxes for a total of 1 million kinah. It will cost me around 800k to break them down. That is 1.8million invested. That 1.8 million kinah is going to get me 18 Worthy Premiums.

Worthy Premiums are selling for 500k+ right now. 18 * 500k = 9 million ... turning 1.8 million into 9 million is pretty good for pretty much no work involved. And who knows, maybe you could sell the fluxes for 600-900k ... and pull in even more money. So yea, I can hopefully either make bank, or get 3 tries (and sell off the extras) on the shield. Either way, I figure it was worth the purchase ... now I just have to wait for a fort to get taken in the upper layer ... *taps feet*

I honestly debated long and hard about doing the same (master premiums are cheap on my server), but I don't think it'd be worth it quite yet. I feel like it'll be quite a few weeks (if not 1-2 months) before there are enough level 50s coordinated together to capture the core fortress.

By that time, fluxes will also be far cheaper. It's not too unlikely that the investment may turn into a loss by then.

Or, on the flip side, I could be completely wrong and I could wake up tomorrow with it under control. Who knows. Has anyone's server here captured the core or any of the middle upper abyss fortresses yet?
