    @Chris

    Are the improvements going into the Crown Store, like 3D and

    going to be making it into player vendors? Please?

    Also, how will the monthly fundraising work? Are we tallying up COTO use now or is it still dollar based, so everyone just go buy COTO's?

    Re: Stretch Goals, if they are still happening, put the progress tracker in Crown UI somewhere.

    The big question that came to my mind that might use clarifications is.. how will major repairs of items be effected? I assume it's a straight conversion.. ie you now need 100 instead of 1 for the first repair. I could only imagine what it would be like if we still only needed 1 coto for the first repair. It'd be like extending the life of gear through major repairs by x100. I'd like to think 2ndary uses for COTOs have been accounted for here.

    (Though I'm secretly hoping COTO repairs go away, that's another issue :) )

    I think he's saying "buy now while on sale as the new sale prices won't be this low".

    I suppose they could have the crown store sell a repair token for 100, and make it not subject to sales. (I can imagine people stocking up on those things during a sale!)

    So, what's wrong with having a sale? When COTOs were on sale, I bought a bunch and then bought some row lot bundles with the COTOs, which were also on sale. If these sales hadn't happened then I probably wouldn't have bought anything.

    i'm with you on this. - I have several vendors specialising in swords and shields, but rarely sell anything any more. - as a perfect example I have had the same set of armour and sword for over a year now - even though i'm perfectly capable of crafting new high level ones, it's just so much easier and quicker to use a COTO to repair. - if i'm doing it myself as a high level blacksmith, i'm quite sure trade is affected by others doing the same.

    Is it true that not everything is COTO repairable ? I noticed I can't use it on the Bacchanal Belt.... which makes me want to save it.

    you repair artifacts with ancient essence, which you get from salvaging artifacts.

    Right, I know that, but COTOs reset the max counter. Does Ancient Essence do that ? I don't think so....

    My understanding is ancient essence act like a repair kit, but I've never tested it since I've never seen an artifact worth using.

    Right. Well when you have extremely rare and valuable artifacts that are gonna die because cotos cant reset their max counters, one realizes the issue.

    Looks like i’m reserving it for PVP use only.

    Afaik Port has not yet said what is to become of COTO repairs to artie's, so why not wait and see what they have in mind before predicting doom ? ;)

    Who was predicting doom ? All I said was that I'm afraid to use an artifact that is hard to come by and cannot be permanently repaired.

    Why do you always troll my posts Frostll ? Give it a rest please.

    Correcting misinformation is not "trolling", Trady
    You stated that COTO's will no longer repair arties, to which I replied: "Afaik Port has not yet said what is to become of COTO repairs to artie's".
    Do you have some source of "inside information" where Port has stated that COTO repairs to arties is ending ?

    Lol, I'm argumentative, @FrostII is trolling and @Elwyn is being contrarian. Why so defensive hun? It's obviously everyone else and not you, so don't sweat it. ;)

    I'm going to let my armor die and pay people to make me new stuff. Seems like a good way to support our crafters. The bacchenal belt is good for pvp but only if you are drinking heavily. It's worth the COTO repair. Are they changing that???
