Turbine upped the grind for 75 armor!

[Thanatosdragonn]

Are you kidding now it takes 4 times the work to get my 75 for my GRD alt for the same armor my cappie got in a few days.
Turbines turning the game into a joke.

So how do I get the armor fast now?

[Anvadrith]

you run the foundry a few times and you will have the pieces even faster then before

NOOOOOO, now that I am getting closer (in my other toon) they do this, shocks. Quick question what UI are you using? Or how do I get the extra bars?

In options - quickslots. Then tick the "show bar x" boxes, and it will show/hide the bars. I think the extra ones are bars 5 & 6, but I'm not sure. Maybe 3 & 4.
The UI is standard.

Thanks for the quick response, cant wait to get home.

Before you needed 32 instances with successful challenge mode/Skraids for the full set (without random additional S4M drops). Now you need to run 15-25 Isengard instances (depending on what you do, and how successful). *shrugs* Dont forget that you can also get the pieces with medallions. Please do the research before you cry murder.

You can actually get it in less runs, but realistically you might need people carrying you along in that case, or gear up your toon early with resources from your other char. The only thing that changed for the negative with the new system is that you need to run new instances; the old scalables are not very effective.

This, really. The handwringing is not warranted here. Did a mix of 3 mans on T1/T2 and some T2 Foundry runs. Got my four piece set done in about 5 days (game sessions) worth of really casual instancing. Really. Bought some with medallions, bought other pieces with seals.

It's a crapload longer, I've been grinding all day atleast before I could do sch/lib/gb and have it done in a few days now its grind all day long for a couple for one piece and it's now not even the best in the game, I can't do that much without it nobodies gonna want an underarmered grd in the group. Why does Turbine kept changing #### that doesn't need changed, stats didnt need changed ethier.

I went from below average gear to 4 pieces of that in a week, it's really easy to do if you can get yourself organized and run things, you've used up possible runs by posting this, also, everyone had to go through this to get the same equipment, however you seem to be one of the few that has complained, it says less about how grindy it is and more about how much time you're willing to put into the game for that gear.

Yeah, ok. Relax. You can do some Isen 3 mans, and foundry, and build up meds/seals fairly quick. And no one really cares that much about your gear in raid skirms, which I see PUGs forming for all the time on Landroval.

Everyone is telling you how to go about getting the gear faster. You have to run the newest instances. Stop running sch/lib/gb and stop complaining.

[Sapience]

As others have pointed out, by changing up the instances you run it's actually easier/faster now.
