Arkforge Discussion

Durning my play time on Sunday, I was able to get around 800 AF. Most of it came from lockboxes but some came from seiges and arkfalls.

I was playing last night with a ego 20 toon. I did 3 major DM arkfalls got 50k in the first one and 120+ in the other two. My ego went up to 159 after only playing for 30 minutes. I was getting 3-4 AF and I was coming in 21st place.

MMy best advice for the newplayers is to save all script and arksalvage. When they get to higher levels they would be able to buy alot of lockboxes and get a good amount of AF.

I'm on the ps2. I have a ton of ego 3927 weapons. I am selling them for 10k-50k each. In a few wekks I'll have more that are in the 4k range and i'll sell them for the same amount.

Back on topic.... Something the veterns can do to help out some of the new players is go into their claims and give a "noob" a damage spike and a heal stim. I think that would go a long way in helping them out. That was what i did with my little toon.

I do think it is a little hard when your a low ego. I was finding myself running out of ammo pretty fast. I also think it is a little to easy at a high ego 5k +. Hopefully when they get around to opening up the map those new areas could be for the higher ego players 4k+. which would releive some of the pain on the new guys.

Troll on, but if you troll this badly no one is going to treat anything you say seriously.

I do hit a lot of tier 2 boxes on a daily basis. Why would I troll anyone? I played this game for probably 15 hours each of the last 2 days. I'm EGO 5522. I know what I'm saying and have no intentions on misleading anyone here. All I do are arkfalls and incursions along with the occasional siege. I score consistently over 100k points. That's around 10-15 keys per event. All I hit are tier 2 lock boxes...have always been this way. I also use ark salvage to buy keycodes several times a day as well. There's times I will go 10 boxes in a row without getting forge and there's times I will get 50, 20 , 20 all in a row. If you guys don't believe me then I challenge a admin on here to pull up my log from just yesterday and post how much ark forge I acquired just yesterday. You also get up to 10 forge per event depending on how well you do. I bet I got at least 100-200 yesterday just from incursions and arkfalls. I don't mind you guys trying to prove me wrong and gang up on me but please, try to somewhat be constructive in your response. I'm not a child nor a troll. I simply play the game a lot and get irritated when I see posts from people that are completely wrong.

Deunan.. I was buying 9 tier 2 lockboxes at a time and was getting between 40-110 each time. As long as you have alot of script and ark salvage you can get plenty of ark forge out of lockboxes.

How long that will last after Trion finds out who know's, but we all know they want us to spend our money and not get it in the game. I don't have the best of luck but I got aorund 800 arkforge from playing on Subday. 600 from lock boxes and the rest from just playing the game. At most I got 100 t2 boxes.

I knew other players have better luck and worse luck then I do, but it is VERY possible to get plenty of AF by just playing the game


for my previou post my psn is mr8liner.

Excellent post, OP. All of these points and suggestions resonate with me. I am one of those people who will buy bits and in-game purchases, but not for such little reward. If I could rank all of my weapons & shields up to my current ego rating for $40, I would definitely do so. But $40 to get one, maybe 2 weapons up to 5000+? No thanks, I'll keep my money in my pocket.

Also, who the hell is pulling in that much damn arkforge from lockboxes?! I spammed 28 of them on Friday and got ZERO, a big fat ZERO arkfoge. My clanmates were definitely of hearing me ***** every time they got one or two boxes and got some. Not that I'm still bitter. *grumble grumble*

I pretty much see mr8liner on every events leaderboard in the top 5 of points acquired. He plays the game so I know for a fact what he is saying is absolutely true.

This speaks volumes about how narrow your perspective is. Assuming you take time to feed, shower and sleep you're saying you did literally nothing but play this game the entire weekend. No one that has a life outside of the game is going play the game that much per day, even on weekends.

You're EGO rating has absolutely no bearing on whether you know what you're saying. You clearly have no understanding of what the game broadly offers the player base in terms of Arkforge rewards if you dismissively claim that you've been getting the amount of Arkforge you've been receiving and imply that it reflects what other players can rely upon to upgrade their weapons. It does not. The math is pretty simple and we're all familiar with how it plays out with the RNG engine. I pulled 19 tier 3 lock boxes yesterday and got 50 Arkforge for it. Regardless of whether you actually pulled the amount of Arkforge you claimed you did on those two days, it's not reflective of what the RNG is going to offer in terms of lock box yield for Arkforge on average for most of the players.

What lock boxes offer is by and large for the majority of the player base, fairly lean, and very unreliable in terms of consistency. That's further weighted by the fact that the majority of the player base doesn't spend 15 hours a day playing the game on the weekends and certainly not even remotely that much during work days or class days. You may think your personal experience of the game is reflective of the Arkforge yield from game content but it's not, which is why it adds no value to the discussion and only serves as misleading distraction.

Denuan is great debater. His/Her logic seems flawless.

Capitalizing the word VERY doesn't make it so. It's called confirmation bias. You have it, the statistics based on the number of items that share the Arkforge drop slot do not. They're not a reliable source for decent Arkforge yield, your personal experiences notwithstanding.
