Obtaining Tyrant Gloves from Kritias

I will also post a tldr; below if you dont want to read this wall of text. I play on reboot and i want to collect all the tyrant equipments to satisify my ocd lol.

I just finish the kritias questline to unlock the shop and it cost 400 coins for the gloves. Now the gloves themselves arent too special it is inferior to Absolab gloves and Arcane gloves in almost every single way. The problem is how long it takes to get the item. It requires 400 kritias Commerative Coin, a single coin is equivalent to 1200 anti-magic and 1 anti-magic stone. This comes out to a total of 480,000 anti-magic and 400 anti-magic stones, but lets forget about the anti-magic because the stones is where the problem resides. To obtain a anti-magic stone i have to complete a "weekly quest" which will reward me 3 anti-magic stones, with 52 weeks being in a year i wouldve compiled a total of 156 stones if i have not missed a single week in that year. Now to collect a total of 400 coins it would take 2 years and 30 weeks. Now thats an absurd amount of time for an item that has no set effect, worst than Absolab and Arcane, AND if the items gets destroyed from star forcing it would take another 2 years and 30 weeks to obtain again.

Now here are my suggestions.
-Lower the coin cost
-Increase the number of anti-magic stones that are rewarded from the weekly quest
-Change weekly quest to a daily quest (daily timeframe would be around 134 days or 20 weeks)
-More options/alternative methods to obtaining anti-magic stones
-Make the coins universal per world similarly to legion coins
-Make the anti-magic stones tradable so i can do the weekly quest on multiple characters and put them in storage

I believe the best solution is a balanced combination of the above suggestions. I wouldnt mind using a significant amount of time to get equipment, similarily to gollux coin runs. But i think its fair to say the timeframe to get the gloves are excessive and a change is needed.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. :)
Lemme know your thoughts!

tldr;
Cost
-Tyrant gloves = 400 coins
-1 coin = 1200 anti-magic and 1 anti-magic stone
Total Cost
-400 coins = 480,000 anti-magic and 400 anti-magic stones
Time
-3 anti magic stones per week
Total time
-400 anti magic stones = 2 year, 30 weeks
Cons
-Gloves are inferior to absolab/arcane
-If blown from SF would take another 2 years, 30 weeks to repair

    The latest update to KMS removes Kritias Invasion as well as the Hekaton boss (that GMS never had). This makes Tyrant Gloves completely unobtainable, unless KMS creates a new way for obtaining the gloves (for example, from the same coin shop that sells Tyrant Belts and Shoes).

    Also, Kritias used to be daily quests but they moved it to weekly quests.

    There are more options to obtain stones, you just didn't look into it / ignored it.

    You need to kill the mobs and they drop items that make the health bar go down a bit.

    It is possible to solo if you have frenzy + drop rate stuff.

    Well rip i just read some kms patchnotes and theyre removing kritias completely. I hope that means people will start doing the content for some of the rewards before they remove it.

Kms patch notes doesnt say anything about alternative way of obtain tyrant gloves either after removal but i hope they put it in the magnus coin shop.

    Kritias itself isn't being removed, only invasions and Hekaton as AKradian pointed out; the weekly quests are still there.

    Oh i miss read his response lol. Thank you for clarifying. If weeklies are still availible I really hope they make some adjustment to the anti-magic stones then because 2 years and 30 weeks is just insane.
