This season has been an absolute nightmare for me because of how scarce Flightstones are.
You get crests and can’t use them to upgrade your gear because of Flightstones. You get spark fragments and you can’t even merge them because of Flightstones. It’s making catch-up mechanic just frustrating and worthless.
What is the point of these miserable things?
I think this should be completely removed. One currency for upgrading, one for crafting.
PS: I do some mythic raiding and M+ a lot, and even some questing / events, so it’s not like I don’t play content to get them.
I’ve ignored the upgrades this season but last season I had enough flightstones most of the time but not enough crests.
But then I do open world content mostly. Also haven’t really done professions in DF, too convoluted and grindy.
I didn’t like the system, it was way too slow for my playstyle. In concept it should be a good way for non big 3 players to progress but it wasn’t tuned well.
Maybe s4 was better but I’ve not bothered so I’m still 463.
They are? I’ve been trying to remember to buy the gear boxes (the ones you can send to alts) with the characters I play regularly because I end up sitting at the 2k cap, and any I would have earned are going to waste.
Doing the open world events again did the trick for me; they are deadly boring and the gear rewards usless to me, but they do give quite a lot of flightstones.
I only had that issue early on in the season when I had loads to upgrade.
But now it’s the crests holding me back. I can only get so many wyrm crests on a weekly basis (doing what I like doing that’s usually 60 per week: 45 from the vault and another 15 by trading in 90 drakes), so most of the time I’m capped on flightstones.
Since I can’t use most of the gear I am getting from the vault due of my homemade rules I usually go for the coins and then I buy the token for the 75 flightstomes.
