I am going to ask again. What part of the community actually uses Challenge Items? Besides running them once for XP, I don't know of a use for challenges as a whole. The items are so dated. Is there some metric you have that shows people farm challenges? This is such a wasted weekend bonus in my opinion.

 

[Dandonk]

This is a good bonus...

... when there's an event going.

A challenge bonus is a good way to get newer more casual players who have not played the Cannith challenges to take a serious look at them.

There are a few items that are great for new players in the selection.

 

[Terranigma]

My primary usage for Challenge Ingredients is to have a supply of Minor Experience Elixirs (+5%) available. For the expenditure of about 15-20 minutes in Kobold Chaos or Colossal Crystals, you can net about 1200 ingredients (which is 23 hours of +5% EXP, or a savings of about 69 minutes over the course of the EXP Elixir's timer).

 

[Mesmerin]

oooh, time to craft some more stalker rings and see if I get a good curse on them.

Time to generate metric ton of tokens of the twelve.

 

[Propane]

I take advantage of this bonus!

Estar ML20 and ML24 "nich" weapons are useful
Ring of Stalker is great, belt, bracers, and Great Axe are useful and I farm for these for alts time to time..

With that being said - I would love to see LV 28 Estar Weapons and Lv 24 & Lv 28 House C items...

 

[kmoustakas]

I'm glad this happens every now and then and I remember the game still has challenges!

Oh wait, I am the only one that still runs those (ok not the only one, there has to be like 5 of us)

looks like we are back to the useless bonuses

Cordo, Serious question, what % of player base even runs these ? 10-15% ? lets say 25% so what the other 75% ?

I ran one last year! Group leader said it was good xp...

... which it might have been, but it bugged out and wouldn't complete.

 

[Abax11]

Ran the forgotten realms ones last week 1 time (for xp only) if that helps with stadistics

Lava Caves was good XP when EDs came out, and then they made repeats give dramatically less XP so we went and rang a bell endlessly to cap our destinies.

Is it really better than von3 even with the bonus?

 

[DBZ]

WK for the win

It is perfect for new f2P players to get some decent (blue) gear.
The game is not only for you. Try to lose some of that egocentrism; it makes you sound entitled.

Running colossal crystals we can generate 2-3 per 20 minutes per character.

Is it faster? Probably not. Is it more fun? For us yes. And it never ransacks,

My Arties wear the fully upgraded bracers every life as well.
