Fast Draw trait slotting 66 silver !

[MéLAnoR]

Fast draw ( actually it's not so fast, a nerfed trait of hunters) costs 66s everytime you slot it when you visit a bard.This is wrong ! Why do we pay this high everytime we want to change our trait order?
Yes ,we should be able to change our trait order anytime we want ,it's designed as this way isn it?
But it'S ridicilious to pay that high with this new hardened economy !
please fix this , you may not need those traits at first but on higher lvls you'll need different tactics esp in ettenmoors.

I agree, I just got that one too, and I was like "woooot???" when the 66 silver price popped up

Also money is really hard to get at this point, I had just past my first 100 silver, then I had to buy skills in lvl15 + this class trait for 66 silver which left me with .... like no money

Well thats part of the game so I'm still happy

To add insult to the injury, my LM's lvl 15 trait cost only 11s...

[Heimer]

Yep I agree its way to high :-(

Cant afford to slot it atm.

it's not just the first time to pay 66 siver ,everytime you change your traits and slot fast draw again it costs 66 silver !

Thanks for posting this in a new thread, 'cause I was too angry to do it myself!

I'm having an amazing adventure in the game so far, but the economical values in every aspect are just plain wrong. We knew this from the beta, but I hoped that Turbine would fix it.

Crafting is impossible (I'm just collecting wood at the moment, as 1 Wax costs 48 copper, and you need something like 300 Waxes to reach mastery in the 1st tier), I can't get all my skills at level 15 (extra weapon proficiencies), the bards are killing me with their prices (I've got over 8 traits and I just can't rearrange them), the Auction House is a mythical place, and I haven't gotten a couple of purple items yet to check their repair costs (in beta many players didn't use them, because their repair costs were very high for what they did).

So, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh, and to make my case clearer: I've "wasted" almost a day hunting low level mobs just to get some money. Hopefully, a hunter can kill them before they even scratch his armor, therefore he won't have to lose any money on repairs. If it wasn't for the traits you gain by killing specific monsters I would be bored as hell.

Where do we start a formal petition to change things?

Why after putting this Trait into a Slot would you want to remove it again? If I recall it the Trait that reduces "Draw Speed" on two of the skills? or is it that when I next speak to a Bard this skill will "de-slot" itself and I'll have to pay to "slot" it again?

Yea will admit some Skill and sloting prices do seem a bit high, but hey-ho just means gotta farm some more

If it was just that then none of us would be complaining. I wish it were that simple.

The problem is the general economy and the algorithm they use for it. After the last patch everything changed making money scarce in a lot of ways:

1. Repair costs
2. Traveling
3. Trait equipping
4. Vendors lowering the prices they buy

Sum all these up and you get the picture.

Of course, some are saying that they have a lot of money (compared to the others, of course), that they have bought every skill they had, crafted, and were left with a considerable amount for their next level/rank, which leaves me to think that I'm missing something here.

Anyway, I've asked people to write a more detailed log of their whats and hows, so that I may eventually figure it out, but until then I have at least 10 friends of mine in the same miserable situation that I am. Different classes, different vocations, different starting areas, but same result: Poor...

Hmmm, I only had this problem because I spend my first 10 levels out of the newbie area in a fellowship. Fun as hell, but I didn't make enough money to repair my armor or equip traits. Then I decided to make it on my own for an hour or two farming mount wights at the Emyn Hoedh. I spent like an hour there shooting down every wight I could get my arrows at and ended up with stuff selling for like 200 silver. Off course I had to repair my armor after it and that costed me like 50 silver. So I ended up with a netto profit of 150 silver. That allowed me to by skills and equip the traits I wanted.

Basically I learned that travelling with a fellowship is fun and get's you XP fast (because of completed quests and mobs the fellowship kills like crazy), spending a little time alone hunting mobs like wights, brigands and orcs, is profitable in the sense of money making. It also gives you treasures that can be used in crafting that you can sell at the Auction House or by trading with someone.

All of the above now left me with like 100 silver in the game so I think I'll be hunting the barrow-downs tonight to make me some money.

And another little advice: do not repair your armour until it starts showing up yellow. Before that, it's just not worth the effort.
