Old magna weapons overpriced now?

[Kitsuni]

I just want peoples thoughts on this...

When the old magna weapons were added, they were comparable to some of the best droppable weapons. Some of them were bad, but quite a few of them (ilke mag LB) were good, and others were decent (2H barb hammer). Thus, combined with the unique look, and two gem slots, at the time they were semi-worth their extremely high price, but only just barely.

But now, in the game of WM and Champions, these items seem horrificly overpriced for what they give. I don't think their unique but dated look is worth 10 ingots when you can get the new magna weapons for just five more. On top of this, these items are level 45, and are bypassed by even the weakest elite or ancient gear at level 55 or so. The new experience curve has also meant that nobody stays at level 45-50 for long.

If the old magna weapons are going to remain in the game, I think that they need a serious price rebalancing, Because as it stands, no one will ever buy them again since they would prefer to just save up five more ingots for a modern magna weapon that is much much stronger. Before this was justified; the removed quest made them effectively legendary artifacts that could never be obtained again, but now that you can get them again they're just overpriced pieces of junk.

I'm the type who prefers more useable content in the game, rather than having everyone as the same.

Others thoughts?

the new magnanite weapons arent worth the 7500 either, except for the bows, the warmaster weapons are better than the magnanite ones ....

since i dont have much xim/money to get the box weapon, i am wondering whether WM or new mag weapons are good alternative. Also, is there any site containing information and stat of the new mag weapons

i dont see any problem with magna weapons. It's RAR weapon - rar weapons need to rar lol

in any case you have legendary and WM weapons.

to be honest, even the new lvl 55 mag weps raent that good. Mag SB is fine but apart from that, elite weps are much better and easier to get.

Site? No. Just information from players who got these items. I found these screens of the new magna weapons.

I had Knight Hammer Stats somewhere I forgot.

OT: IMO they should be reduced. Both of them. I'd make them 3000 and 6000.
Although if I was to make a staff or bow, I'd do the old ones as they are nicer . Unless I get one before...hmm...

lol btw new magna bow and old magna bow - 25 dmg.

question - do i need this + 25 dmg for the collect another 15 ingots????!!?!?!?!

I think a good solution would be to make the level 45 magna weapons upgradable to the level 55 ones. Just give the option of turning in a level 45 weapon with 5 magnanite ingots for the quest, rather than 15 ingots.

This ^^

Or make it possible somehow to disassemble the old ones, so in the end you'd need only 5 ingots as well

They shouldn't give back all ten ingots tho, don't know.... Could be a premium only if you'd like to get all ten back and a new quest if you'd be satisfied with let's say seven or eight ingots .
