I would like Broken Glasses to be tradeable between players who have obtained the item before. Same with Wristband from Orbis PQ. I think this change would incentivize players to do these 2 party quests. Especially if they see someone selling a godly one. The buyer would then need to go complete the PQ the required number of times if they haven't already received one before buying it from the seller. What are your thoughts?
I think it should be tradeable alltogether. In my opinion, this would be a "balanced" reward to incentivize players from actually doing these 2 somewhat obsolete pqs. At the same time, there are no downsides in that it won't disrupt the economy as it won't be time vs money efficient. Ex, it takes 35 ludi pqs for 1 glasses. Even if you can rush each pq under 20 min somehow, it would still take 10+ hours for 1 glasses. Which are still worse than alternative options (godly system effected spectrum glasses, racoon masks with 7 upgrades vs 3 upgrades for broken glasses). So, introducing this side reward in obtaining tradeable rewards may help populate these 2 pqs that are otherwise dead. I don't see much (if any) downsides to this idea
I don't think the Broken Glasses should be tradeable. If anything the amount of times needed to get the glasses should be greatly reduced. It's already been suggested numerous times in the Feedback forums to reduce the number but the Staff has remained silent and ignored these suggestions. At this point, for how long the server has been running, it's more time & cost efficient to just power level your character to level 70 and buy a Spectrum Goggle (or Raccoon Mask) and use it (or scroll it) than it is to camp the LPQ area and pray you get a full party or waste tons money getting smegas to gather one and grind 35 pqs... [-] Time it takes to get (1) pair of Broken Glasses: - 35 pqs x ~20 minutes = ~700 minutes or ~11hours 40mins - 35 pqs x ~15 minutes = ~525 minutes or ~8 hours 45 mins - 35 pqs x ~10 minutes = ~350 minutes or ~5 hours 50 mins This isn't including the time it takes to gather a full party, the money spent smega'ing for one, or waiting for teammates if they needed to leave the area or arrive to the area (due to someone leaving and you had to get another). With the amount of time spent, you could easily just farm Leprechauns (or train at some area) and use the money obtained to buy Spectrum Goggle(s). The expected time to complete an LPQ is 15+ mins. [-] If amount of PQs were lowered to get (1) pair of Broken Glasses, i.e. 25 pqs: - 25 pqs x ~20 minutes = ~500 minutes or ~8 hours 20 mins - 25 pqs x ~15 minutes = ~375 minutes or ~6 hours 15 mins - 25 pqs x ~10 minutes = ~250 minutes or ~4 hours 10 mins [-] If amount of PQs were lowered to get (1) pair of Broken Glasses, i.e. 20 pqs: - 20 pqs x ~20 minutes = ~400 minutes or ~6 hours 40 mins - 20 pqs x ~15 minutes = ~300 minutes or ~5 hours - 20 pqs x ~10 minutes = ~200 minutes or ~3 hours 20 mins Reducing the amount from 35 -> 25 or 20 PQs would be the much needed change for LPQ. ------ For OPQ, I think all of the rewards for the PQ are garbage. I don't know how the Staff thought it was okay to just lift the level cap off the PQ and call it a day. You can clearly tell they didn't care at all.
Broken glasses, apart from the Toad Band, is the only eye accessory with Luk stat. I can already imagine an ample demand in the market once they are made tradeable. Although 35 LPQ runs may sound like a huge waste of time for veteran players, a tradeable version of broken glasses can provide an extra incentive to the new players who visit the PQ for the lvling purpose anyway. Only true newbies will benefit from this change, as ban evading ones will skip to the fastest meso gaining methods, and they will be able to graduate from LPQ with a decent income, a reward for their hard work.
