Timeless/Reverse Weapons Balancing Issue

Supply and demand isnt the only factor on why pieces of time are dropping. There is almost no reason to craft a Reverse now , when PB is already being farmed by the top tier players. Timeless EQ will be flooding the market , thus , its a better idea to hold on to your dragon/NT weapon , and upgrade to Timeless instead of a Reverse.

Unless there is a nerf to timeless or a buff to reverse , this is just going to be the way it is..

 

I'll concede I was wrong about the prices. However a major reason I was wrong is as others have said timeless weapons are much easier to get then anticipated. Why would people even bother crafting reverse when they can buy timeless? I figured PB wouldn't be as easy or would drop much less but was definitely wrong in that regard.

Also once again the price of NT etcs had nothing to do with natural supply and demand. They buffed the drop rate. Prices literally went from 50m to 10-15m in 1 week (speaking from personal experience).

The meta has shifted away from NT which isn't necessarily a bad thing. NT was/is still a joke more or less. You kill 20 bosses and might get 1 drop worth 10-20m that is split between multiple people. The optimal way to do it is bring as many mules as possible (10-20) so you can get max coins. I'm surprised NT has lasted in its current form for so long. I really hope they fix it in the future but can't say I'm sad about it becoming less relevant(although I do understand people with perfect NT weapons being mad).

 

Option 3 isn't really a suggestion, because in reality, Reverse and Timeless equips by default have always become untradeable once equipped, same as GMS. Because this is not a v0.83 server, implementation on these isn't there yet.

And welcome to power creep... I feel like reverse/timeless are fine as it is. They have a level 120 requirement with more secondary stats needed but Reverse/Timeless equips are meant to be stronger.
More importantly, getting "said" max att requires even more luck compared to dragon weps and nt weps to get a max +6 att from reverse or +10 att from timeless. But also rng luck from getting +2 additional attack. Its not as easy as it looks it is very difficult to get max att from reverse/timeless.

 

You don't really need anywhere close to +max att for a reverse/timeless to be better than dragon or NT weapons though.

 

Even if you don't get the max att, lets say you get +3 from reverse and +6 from timeless you get total on all item level ups, it is still not easy to achieve either...
Getting a max att NT claw is much easier than getting +3 from item level ups alongside +2 from rngesus claw. Timeless is prob even harder now you get 5x level ups.

Which is why its fine tbh.
