Mining Weekly - 2 Null Stones!

What the F is this about. Hand in 10k gold of stuff per miner I have??? That point is not worth the gold.

You can say, sure that is a choice you can make.

My reply is that this exp has felt great and this is the first time I have come across something that I am genuinely feeling robbed.

You can tell this game went through some fantastic QA and had plenty of feedback for these things. :blush:

I will definitely not turn in 2 null stones for 3 knowledge points! Not a chance! :smiley:

QA has nothing to do with what is on the loot requirements. They just verify that the requirements are satisfied.

That is wild :joy: I don’t really understand why null stones are so expensive, is it low supply or high demand?

Bro how is this real? :skull:

F.U. Blizzard

You need 5 null stone fragments to create a null stone. And, even the fragments drop at a fairly low chance, while a lot of recipies require it for crafting, often more than one.

So yes, probably low supply, high demand.

You are not the only one who thought it was too much.

I just did it - but think thats a little extreme. They’re genuinely checking how much people are willing to pay - do never forget this company will nickle and dime you and they’re pretending they’re for us but its all about money and they have teams working round the clock to research this to get their next cash grab or way to entice people to pay more than the sub fee.

I think we’ve got the message delivered: this week’s gathering weeklies are completely acceptable. :+1:

Unfortunately, this isn’t something that missed QA. It’s a deliberate design choice.

Combination of both

It’s like those dragon customizations from seasonal events at 50k or 70k gold each.

They will eventually be easier to collect (final tier skill in iirc the plethoras of ore tree let you mine undamaged null stones and I assume that means that you will never get undamaged ones again) but putting them up for it this early in is like what are you doing blizzard

It’s not that they’re difficult to get. I can get 4-5 just doing my weekly knowledge gathering which is all I do on my gatherer character. I could turn those in for the quest but why would I turn 12k worth of mats for 2 knowledge points when I could just sell them instead?

that price will likely drop when the main source of flawless nullstones goes from combining 5 flawed nullstones from ore deposits to just straight from ore deposits, in theory (if those skill tree completions means that any flawed nullstone will now be a perfect nullstone on mining) that roughly translates to getting 5x as many null stones

once more people gete that, it likely won’t stay 12k knowledge

so I would say it is definately still in part due to the fact that most people have not invested into completing plethora’s of ores yet (because they havn’t had the points and most people would rather get the mining while flying skill first)

The price will still be considerable and higher in value than what 3 one off knowledge points are worth. I have Bismuth and Ironclaw maxed out in Plethora of Ore and like I said, I get about 4 null stones doing my weekly gathers in Isle of Dorn, if I’m lucky. On average you’ll be getting about 3 null stones per hour with the whole tree maxed out. It’s still going to be a rare reagent that has no business being in a weekly knowledge quest. Maybe if it was just one, but any more than that, I’m just selling it instead.

I hated this back in the day when the Thorium Brotherhood in Blackrock took very expensive mats to gain rep etc.
Didn’t make much sense to me at the time, you need the mats to make blacksmithing items so why just give it to them for so little in return.
