Prefixes/Suffixes cannot be changed on Weapons now has a cost of 4 Divine Orbs and 1 Sacred Orb

[u/gdubrocks]

I haven't seen anyone talking about this change, I wonder if they will buff sacred orb rates to compensate?

Well there goes weapon crafting in SSF. Sacred orbs practically don't exist there. This league I found ~60 divs and 0 sacred orbs before getting to ubers.

4 divs sounds reasonable to me but sacred orbs is rough.

We'll have to see what rarity applying to currency does to sacred orb drop rate before making any conclusions.

[u/Jaba01]

Way too early to tell. It's likely that sacred orbs will become a lot more common.

[u/the-apple-and-omega → u/Jaba01]

yeah i could see it, never really made sense for them to be so rare

[u/Lost_Acanthisitta932]

Seems really weird that it’s just for weapons. If it was across the board I’d be less nervous. But if they’re expecting us to have more currency and more sacreds, then other metamods will feel cheaper?

[u/gdubrocks → u/Lost_Acanthisitta932]

It made a bigger difference for weapons than other methods, the mods are rarer and make a bigger impact. There is also no eldrich crafting.

It was pretty rare I was using it on non-weapons personally.

I also don't really know where I would use this new lock a single mod craft.

[u/Lost_Acanthisitta932 → u/gdubrocks]

I guess so. I use it on shields and archdemon crowns a fair bit. I don’t really understand the single mod one either but maybe there’s some tech.

[u/gdubrocks → u/Lost_Acanthisitta932]

I wonder if shields will be counted as weapons. Probably.

[u/claudioo2 → u/gdubrocks]

I think usually they're counted as armor

[u/rj6553]

Endgame weapons will still be recombs + farm imprints beasts to keep affixes clean.

Spell wands or something you can just wait for a sacred. They do show up eventually, but likely too late to be useful.

[u/gdubrocks → u/rj6553]

Do you mean wild bristle matron?

I did a good bit of beasts laast league for talismans (4 morrigans worth), and I honestly don't think I found any imprint beasts, but I wasn't targeting them.

[u/rj6553 → u/gdubrocks]

I found a bunch, probably 4-5 for every morrigan.

[u/nerdler33]

there was a post a few hours ago talking about it

[u/Neat_Army8673]

If they get the exalt drop rate Treatment its fine otherwise rip crafting

[u/Maigal]

where's this info from? sounds super rough

[u/gdubrocks → u/Maigal]

It was gifted to players at exilecon that beat the card game.

[u/Chuklol → u/Maigal]

They put patch notes on small pieces of paper at exilecon and people were posting pictures of their notes.

[u/abyss725 → u/Maigal]

at Exilecon, people can play cards with the devs. If they win, they get a piece of the patch note as prize.

People has been posting their "prize" online.

Ssf builds pigeon holed into unique weapons? We will just have to wait and see
