So when they revamped masteria and added even 180lvl accessory set it sounded nice enough for starters but then there was disappointment after another.
Well the phantom forest itself had decent revamp, higher lvl and some revamps on old monsters so they look nice enough and new items craftable (actually only 180lvl ring is really worth doing anything). But the way to craft those things is just ridiculous, BiS items usually should drop from harder end bosses or the items to make them but that crafting system requires coins from daily quests. Oh well as if arcane symbols don't have enough to do every day for 335 days (that's for morass/esfera with just dailies to lvl 20) those dailies definetli add more time spent on daily quests. 3 of those quests aren't that hard just kill 200 mobs and you can try to get rid of the slower ones but those just take several minutes each. The thing is that the coins for items aren't rew from the 3 easier quests they are rew from the elite monster and elite boss quests. Well if there's 4 kinds of elites and it takes like 5 min to spawn one when you need to kill 2 specific elite monsters it's always 25 % chance to get 1 quest done, and since the last elite doesn't affect the next at all it's 10 min deal if you're lucky but if you're unlucky it takes way longer. Then the last quest is about killing specific elite boss and there's 3 of those. Well spawning an elite boss takes usually 1 h and it's only 33% chance of getting the right one. And statistically it's roughly 87% chance of getting the right one from 1st 5 elite bosses you spawn. And that would be 5 h of doing dailies with not even certain clear which is quite much ridiculous.
Another thing is that when you get the ring (or whatever you are planning to get from that set) you start starforcing it to notice that it requires coins (5*(n+1) where n is the current amount of stars in it). Well if it's supposed to be BiS item to surpass the previous one you'd need some stars on it. Well statistically starforcing to 22* takes 927 tries and it booms 6 times while doing it. Well when you need those coins for each attempt it's almost 10000 coins required (9735 to be exact) and that's one thing where it starts to go heavily in the wrong direction. Dailies give 9 coins/day if you clear them all and elites you clear give up to 5 coins/day, assuming you get 3 elites daily while doing dailies you get 12 coins/day. it's 812 days to get that item which is over 2 years and that's more than enough time for new items that are better to appear in game. And since those dailies are still in 180lvl area the monsters don't really give anything else while doing the dailies on higher lvl chars so you only get that item from over 2 years of work which is just too much.
My suggestion is that crimsonwood keep pq gets a revamp and the items (or plenty of coins) will be added as drops from the bosses (margana,rellik,hsalf,nagrom and red nirg) so the masteria accessory set items could be somehow acquired in reasonable time. And it used to be quite nice content so why not use it, it would be interesting to fight revamped versions of those bosses and ofc all at once like old times.
If there's better way to obtain coins the starforce coins aren't that bad actually, otherwise those coin reqs can be removed since they make the items quite much worthless.
