I do not think that mythic insignias should be easy to get! I just think they shouldn't be this hard. Just wanted to clarify that

They just need to make insignia powder more attainable. Like dropping Leg Insignias in master dungeons or something like that.

They could make this a lot more cost effective by getting rid of insignia powder and just using more refinement points.

Yup, the equivalent of 75,000 trade bars to buy all those 750 epic insignias! or about 80 mill AD to buy 150 leg insignias from the AH. Pretty crazy! Thanks for the video :)

its a resource sink. thats why it seems backwards to you. the people that have tons of resources and no patience will dump a bunch of resources into the new widget thus creating a feedback loop of grinding/playing auction house. these loops are terrible for new players because obtaining the ability to reach all content is insufferable at best

I don't think insignia powder should be craftable but they need to increase the drop rate in dungeons and trials

The most AD I've ever had was 9 mil. And that was because I got a cold iron warrior and managed to sell it. Which was spent in getting 1 companion to mythic for 2 of my alternative accounts.

Thanks for the informative video.

There has been plenty of time to gather insignia powder since they announced mythic insignias, I already have enough insignia powder to upgrade all 15 to mythic. People just want everything to be easy and given to them

I love your video voice, sounds authoritative and sympathetic at the same time. Reminds me of way back when my sister taught me to tie my shoes.

Once tradebars started coming in boxes, value of tradebars has dropped a ton once the market flooded and remained. This is to drive demand in the TB store, by making epic insignias profitable. They will be the go to for powder, thus driving demand for lockboxes. Scrolls will become scarce lol u are right, it is not sustainable with current supply and incoming powder.

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS Silv3ry! I named my Rogue character after you on my channel! I give you Kudos all the time as the place to get "the know" about Neverwinter... Ya, I really only use them to get Gladiator Guile... It would be great to get more powder per insignia as it takes a while to upgrade them...

For contacts that's a 1500 lockboxes each given you 25 Insignia powder to do your entire library from legendary to Mythic and at the growing rate of a dollar each you start to understand where they're going

As you mentioned it's not so much the amount needed as the fact there's no real way to grind power. Same with legendary shards for collars. I expected leg shards to become more common drops from something, but they never did. My theory behind this was from when es6 were a million each from t9g then codg happened. We will have to see...

Mythic insignias? Damn. I don't even have purples xD

Do the Devs even play this game? Playing this game is way more than a chore, I had a friend come play this game and after a month they quit when they learnt about all the insane grinding they will have to do to reach endgame. Playing Neverwinter could not only break your bank but your Back too!

The most AD I ever had where around 25+ million from the time where refinement stones where unbound and the auction house got swamped with botters. I bought two toons full of Aquamarin and sold them later for a high price. To the whole powder stuff. Thats normal business from Cryptics side. They need something their whales spend their money on. In the old days it was enchantment where like 80% of the stat increase of an enchantment where on rank 9 to 10. The whole Insignia System is just another refinement system created as money sink.

I would LOVE LOVE getting 50 powder from a dungeon chest! It's already a seemingly impossible hill to climb to get enough powder to upgrade collars, and there's only 5 of those, and I started at purple. FIFTEEN mythic insignias at almost the same price powder-wise is crazy. The lockbox has 25 as a rare reward but that's not nearly enough quantity or frequency wise.

So, coming from Star Trek Online, I can say that Cryptic/PWE are at least consistent in their catering to Whales, to the detriment of everybody else. Add to that the same obsession with cramming a bunch of PUGs into random content and my very recent impulse to try out my old characters (circa Mod 13) is already fading. Just trying to learn the current meta is starting to feel less like a game and more like a job. Great video. I like to see the drawbacks, as well as the positives, in any new venture. I'll consider this bit of information while I continue to try out Neverwinter.

NO mythic insignias for me, good luck everybody!

I agree. They'll give more bang for your buck but also it will cost you your entire set of insignias 15 times over to get all mythics. And you also can't just upgrade your current insignias you'll have to swap them out. Suddenly changing around one insignia bonus costs you 7.5mil AD. They need to make powder way easier to get.

They haven’t put anything in the game to make upgrading collars easier, so what makes you think they will for Insignias?

This is why I quit this game months ago, but hey, I still like the content you provide nonetheless hehe.

They can not even solve the problem of Astral Diamond Exchange. They keep on telling backlog…backlog forever,that’s what I think.

My crystal ball is showing me something...wait what is this??? I see a zen store.... inside this store is a mythic insignia pack....what's the cost??? 12,000 zen for 3 mythic insignias??? And it's not even a choice pack!

While I agree in theory with what you say here, the whole account wide mounts idea was based on money. Those mounts only come if you pay. After 2 characters if you want a new character you have to buy character slots. Mo money, mo money, GD more money. Unfortunately this is a cash grab. Insignia powder is now dropping from lock boxes, at 25 when it is given. How many do you need to open then for 2500 powder? GD cash grab.

ola , I'm Brazilian and wanted to know how to get the new armor sharandar that came in episode 3, thank you

Haven't played this for about 18months, not changed much and don't think it's worth going back to.

4 millionish, which I immediately spent on a forgehammer of Gond, it was a couple of years ago

Right on thr point as always. :) I kind of lost interest in Neverwinter. Feels now a days its a game for 5 % people who just keep running same thing over and over again and have the time and tenacity to do so, to get the best items, and the rest of the population just comes and goes. Devs do not probably care. Reminds me of high school where a ground was once "claimed" by some few "cool" kids, who were absolutely not eager to share that, and then after a while the ground it self got demolished due to lack of care, when they moved out of town. Btw, an off topic question, what's your take on New World? I am following that for quite a while now and I think its really worth giving a try, any suggestions?

Hey, question, i already completed the new mod "adventures" will i have the rewards ready to claim?

Great incite, even when opening chest i will take forever to get them to mythic and the collars. i guess we will keep plugging away.

Yea, when I saw the big 2 5 0 0 cost, it felt like hitting a brick wall... at full speed... head first. XD Anyway, with the mod22 stat rework it's also good to keep in mind that the higher your total item level, the bigger the absolute gap is from the 10% difference in item level and combined rating of your gear (except rings, they have different %). For example, 10% of 10 = 1, whereas 10% of 1400 = 140.

during mod 19 i met so many new players, i thought the game was heading in a good direction, but the amount of grind and rng involved in mod 20 has made most of them left... heck even veterans are jumping ship :/

It’s funny how they nerf our r15 enchants which took a lot of players a long time to get. And now we need to upgrade our insignias. I will not be doing this. And for me this could be the final nail in the coffin. Thanks for your videos

This is disgusting, I quitted for 5 months and came back a month ago and now this? lmao

So less than 4 mio AD per mythic insgnia if bought from the AH. That means a good player (earning at least 1 mio per day) will get about 2 insignias per week to mythic. So about 2 months to get all 15 insignias to mythic.

chances are itll be for sale, like comp/mount tokens soon enough

It's easily attainable it is not difficult to make ad in nw

2 months wait for zax? I'm pretty sure it's closer to 4-5 months rn XD

Yes it's only for super elite players

I do like it when there is a bonus for players who are in it for the long haul. So I think of this sort of thing as something the players who switch games every 6 months or so are never going to have, unless they dump a ton of cash, which I'm ok with because that means they are supporting everyone who is going the free to play route, and at the end of the day, the game developers have to go home with a paycheck.

They should make an enchantment that drops insignia powder or a mount insignia ability that drops insignia powder... 🤔

just 1 thing,zex takes 6months now :)

2 months of patience fir zax it takes 7 months now :)

Silv3r made a video on it. So they will change it I bet. They only listen to a segment of the community anyway.

yeah it sucks best way is to level alts to complete chasm then delete the 3 purple ones you get for free transfer them to main rinse and repeat

The masters of nerf i mean craptic strike again

They are going to start selling insignia powder, aren't they?

I stockpiled ad, bought astral lockboxes (yes about 1600 of them), and bought insignias for tbars, and converted to powder. I am absolutely gonna beast my barbie out. Did it without spending real money, just ad.

Cheers girl most ad at once 42 mil refined after bindings trade in hahaha

I’d say that they won’t be that much once it goes live per say

The powder needs to be reduced

I look at it this way: mythic insignias weren't available to me before mod 21, and they won't be available to me after mod 21. So nothing has really changed, and I don't pvp so I couldn't care less if others have them. Simples! :)

Just get rid of them there's already way too much bullshit in the game anyways.

I have like 20 mil right now

Just another grind to influence you to spend Zen to speed up the process. I find it a waste of my time so I ignore the signias unless a good quality one falls in my lap. I stopped doing crafting in this game after I had spent millions of AD to train and upgrade my craftsmen and tools only to have Cryptic flush it down the toilet. I am looking at switching over to Baldur's Gate III to spend my gaming money on. Neverwinter WAS fun but it has become a money pit and the fun to dollar ratio has been dropping a lot.

P2W game is P2W? This doesn't really shock me sadly. It's one of the reasons I haven't been in game in like a year.

Well dang that’s a bit won’t be getting mythic insignia either haha and the Mount collars u think they would have learned smh

The decisions they have been making and content is beyond a joke. This year would be the first year I found myself not playing anymore snoozandar was the straw that broke the camels back for me

*The problem with Neverwinters everything, there fixed the title for you hahah XD

Well, you can pick up a few greens from the explorer kits (nature, religion, etc) but at 2 insignia powder per green...yeah....nope sauce on that one. I've heard of one person in my entire alliance focused on mythic insigs. One. And it's not me. All mine are legendary, but there's just no way I'll get to mythic in my lifetime. I've got 6 toons (no bard, waiting for Monk). I'm way ahead of average, but since I don't 'do well figuring out the gear in this game, I'm a below average player. Go me.

its always been like this, there is always something ridiculously long to achieve. Its nothing new and as always been like it, it is for people for make a lot of AD and people should not mind much since it not important especially in scaled content so 95% of the game.

Silvery trying to stay positive or at least neutral: "In a couple months they might add more ways to get insignia powder" Me, who cannot contain my hate for Cryptic: "In a couple months I'd be playing Diablo 2 Resurrected and hopefully would never go back to Neverwinter or any Cryptic games for that matter"

I cant wait. I applaud cryptic for these upgrades actually. Gives everyone at end game something to grind for and everyone else a massive way to make diamonds.

me and my friend we are a new players with just 3 months playing this game and i cant tell that this game is to FARM, FARM FARM, FARM, FARM FARM, FARM, FARM FARM, FARM, FARM FARM, FARM, FARM FARM, FARM, FARM FARM, FARM, FARM FARM, or just go and use real cash like my friend and get a LOT of all good stuff players who pay real $ get a lot of items that players that DONT use $, me & my friend start playing the same day but he pay for VIP and also Zen, he already have 10 mythic mounts & 10 very good companions alose have ALL insignias in mythic, he open a lot of lockboxes and get good stuff there now in the other side me, well, i just get my 2 legendary insignia, i have 2 legendary mounts just 3 epic companions, I'm struggling to get moren then 1.5million AD, and can´t opend ANY of my 1300 lockboxes that i have at the end of the day the game is like this you pay, you can have good stuff you dont pay, you have to GRIND for months or years to get a chance to get some good stuff i think that the lockboxes should be free to open to everybody but if you have vip you can get some other stuff

It's me...believe the word you were looking for was "beneficial"...hey, it was kind of ????? that u didn't respond to last video's comments. Had kind of a hmmmm moment.

~80m or so, maybe slighly more

i think im okay with it....theres not very many things in the game that give it a top end to grind for like other mmos have, NW feels like it gives a lot of easy rewards and this willbring it up to a point of not being too much of a handout

There's just way too much crap you have to grind now. With the same amount of content.
