Is this implemented though? Valor discount wasn't until yesterday...

But what is it with the Valorstone discount? Is this no longer a thing? Did I miss something here?

Comment by Zewinter

I called it before and the mythic track requiring 639 is totally absurd and stupid, it means you can't even have crafted gear in any slot.
They should have put an increase rate on crest drops for alts till it catchup your main.

It was not functioning prior to this week's reset. It was noted last week that it would be addressed with this week's resets. And it was.

My Death Knight got a 610 Hero 1/6 weapon in their Great Vault, and my Paladin, who is much further behind, got the Valorstone discount for upgrading this week.

What about crafted gear...? Blizzard? Needed to have been a buff to the acquisition

Comment by Trollfat

Even with a 33% crest discount, the valorstones will continue to be the bottleneck.

So i need to get 639 in every slot on my main to unlock a minor discount on.... 580 ilvl gear on my alt? LMAO

What a massive error. Blizzard giving in to the whiners who think character power should be account wide, even a little, sets a very bad precedent. As we all know, people will pretend they like this today, but then in a few days, they'll start to push for more, pointing at this as the example as to why it's fine.

The beginning of the end. If you don't understand why, Think about how next time you want to apply to a guild or group, How much easier it is to just ignore you and have one of their own reroll instead. Think about how your years on a dedicated main will mean less and less with each passing day. About how easily you can be replaced. This encourages more of the flawed modern design where content is too complex but class design is too simple. We should be more rewarded for progressing and mastering our class, and less the seasonal location.

It really feels like is yet another case of ARPG people forcing in their logic into an MMORPG, not understanding how broken it makes things. We've been suffering ARPG-style ideas since Legion and they always @#$% up the game. When will we learn.

No, read it again. Each Achievement unlocks discounts for that specific crest.

O.O

This is probably the most confusing article I’ve ever read.

No? If you get the 606 ach, the alts get a discount on crests up to that

yes, this is implemented. saw it on my characters yesterday

What do you mean with "even with xy" - the crest discount increases the bottleneck since you got the crests fater.

Comment by jthm91

Increase the valorstone rate, and make the cost to alts free when the main has higher ilvl in each slot

Comment by Seniaa

This is probably the most confusing article I’ve ever read.

What is even hard about this? When you get the achievement that unlocks the ability to trade up a crest (or at least it used to be the requirement) you also get an accountwide discount on those crests for other characters.

If it's still a big bottleneck for you with a 50% discount, that's just skill issue at this point.

Comment by Varrak93

Great stuff, now just remove the valorstone requirement to upgrade crest gear

Gilded Crests aren't used for upgrades until your gear piece is iLvl 606. Meanwhile an alt with a 580 gear piece will receive the discount once your main reaches 593 total iLvl which is very easily achievable.

What are you talking about? This just makes upgrading gear on alts a bit faster, it's not "account wide character power". You still have to play the content and obtain the crests on your alts.
