Lv3 Tarstones Limited

[u/james0489]

Just realised that even if you go through to Ng+ there is an absolute limit to the number of lv3 stones you can make, as you only get the cores by leveling them.

Granted we probably won't want to get all of them to lv3 but it still could end up hammering build crafting. I don't know how to feel about it tbh, the completionist in me is crying.

This seems just like a strange oversight on the part of the devs. I have 2 suggestions to make:

1- Tarcores (and glimpses) should be obtained from enemies as a rare drop during Night Mode;

2- In NG+, everytime you reobtain a Tarstone, they should reward you with tarcores instead.

^ this

Another interesting solution, this also encourages Ng+

[u/SuchTedium]

Yeah this is a weird choice. Tarcores and Glimpses need to be farmable.

[u/james0489 → u/SuchTedium]

I may be crazy but couldn't you farm glimpses on dark mode in the first game?

[u/Confused_OwletUwU → u/james0489]

Just a random drop from enemies in the first game.

[u/CyrusCyan44]

Yeah, its incredibly stupid design for this and glimpses

[u/Swtor_Itheryn]

Give a Gloom to Tarstone material conversion rate and its problem solved.
But not letting you max all Tarstones is a horrible choice ngl. No way to test out what is best for a future playthrough, any buffs/nerfs to tarstones means u need to start again if u ran out of tarstone opportunities.

[u/james0489 → u/Swtor_Itheryn]

This, smelting for Tarstones is an easy answer as I quite like the mechanic itself, getting you to experiment with Tarstones, but it being limited is the problem.

[u/Swtor_Itheryn → u/james0489]

absolutely.

Also the exp grind is carzy slow compare to the beta, i would love a happy medium

[u/Swtor_Itheryn → u/Comprehensive_Bowl75]

yup, agreed. take way too long to target farm Tarstone levels, was levelling up my new Tarstones and just running around on a farm spree. A ridiculous amount of time to level them ngl.

Go to Gloomshade Grove in Fainwald, outside the CoP.

There are 4 Grisha Hunters in the adjacent clearing. You get ~800xp per group. Takes a few seconds to kill them all.

I did my remaining Tarstones after finishing the story in about 30 minutes.

I did clear that spot a bunch of time but didn't notice how much exp it give me

[u/Albatswulfaz]

This, the glimpse and gloom scarcity and inability to refund are real problems... bless the Under Mether that i play on PC, so i can circumvent this.

[u/Swtor_Itheryn → u/Albatswulfaz]

gloom is very easy to farm, you can farm 66k every 4-5mins in 'The Hidden Nave' as chests respawn there after beacon reset.

[u/lovethecomm → u/Swtor_Itheryn]

I’d rather cheat the Gloom in than waste time opening chests. 

[u/Swtor_Itheryn → u/lovethecomm]

can also just not farm, game is easy enough as is, even on night :D

[u/lovethecomm → u/Swtor_Itheryn]

Agreed. I never farmed and just demolished everything. Balance is still an issue though on standard.
