Spirits of Harmony Request
|
For everyone who is not aware:
Spirit of Harmony is a crafting material that is bop and will be used for a lot of professions. On my server there are barely 150 people on at prime time. How am I supposed to get Items that require Spirits of Harmony ? Do I need to lvl all professions myself now ? Do you expect all this people to go farming now ? they wont so I might be lucky but chances are low so why make them bop? That´s just a huge hassel for everyone! Make them drop so you can farm them ok but not bop thats redicioules. How am I supposed to get other people to farm for hours to make this ? http://mop.wowhead.com/spell=124625 That are 8 Spirits of Harmony thats a lot of hours of farming just for one item ? That is not going to work out! |

idd
Stupid idea |
You did not understand... If I want an item than I go farm for it but wait the crafter has to go farm for it way longer than myself. Look at the items 8 Orbs thats at least 4 Hours if your lucky from what drop rates are right now on the beta. And what do you do if your a crafter but a healer ? That system does not work ! |
|
I read this as 'Elements of Harmony'
No regrets. |
Well - yes I did understand; but I guess i'm lucky that I have characters with all professions maxed out so I won't need to rely on others. And if I need something then I will go out and grind it. For you? Wll you have two choices - there WILL be crafted items available from other players in the AH; you'll just have to pay for it. Or you level a character and a profession so that you can do it yourself. To be honest - this is hardly different to how it is now |
|
I really love the way Blizz keeps screwing over low pop realms more and more. Cross realm zones - hooray for node stealing! Now BoP mat for crafting...Yeah, force players to have every prof on their account now! Still waiting till they actually make everything you craft BoA.
And merges aren't happening. Mmmhm yeah! |
|
Hasn't this always beem the case or am i missing something? frozen orbs, chaos orbs etc? personally i like it selling boe's for 30k opening week of expansion :)

Run an instance you get the mote of harmony from every creature and 10 can be combined to a spirit of harmony. http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/5631713/Professions_Living_in_Perfect_Harmony_-15_08_2012 Let’s get right to it. Spirit of Harmony is a Bind on Pickup (or "BoP" to veterans) crafting material that can be found on every lootable creature in every zone in Pandaria -- from dungeons to the outdoor world. So you will get your spirit of harmony, and of course the first few weeks such items will be realy expensiv, but the same thing happend in cata. Wher tailors could only make a limitid amount of dreamcloth because of the cooldown, yes you could ignore the cooldown with chaos orbs but you had to get those too, and you had to roll against others, but as far as I understand the new Spirit of Harmony concept you have to get 10 Motes of Harmony for 1 Spirit of Harmony, and the motes are white items so they will not be roled on. |

My big issue with this is that (at the moment) they will be BoP and not BoA right from the start. I tend to only play seriously on my main - alts are largely crafters, which means he is likely to have a whole pile of 'useless' mats on him while my other crafters sit with nothing.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of having only 1 crafting 'material' - goodbye to stacks and stacks of primals, eternals and volatiles - but I really think it needs to be BoA from the start. Even it it requires Blizz to find a way to make it faction bound as well. Not sure if that is an issue or not. |
As far as I can see it every one get something. when I look at the NPC http://www.wowdb.com/npcs/66685-danky-kim it seems you can buy crafting materials, not sure if it is bound to a profession or if everybody can buy items (like trade good vendor now), but at least the blizzard site said http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/5631713/Professions_Living_in_Perfect_Harmony_-15_08_2012 "Herbalism: Purchase herbs." Ok you do not get epics / mounts that way but you can use the spirit anyway, but even the epics seems to not last long, same item level as Mogu'shan Vaults (Raid Finder) |

Sorry, I guess I should clarify my post a bit.
This chap is a crafter, so he will have a use for the SoH. What I really should have said is that he'll probably have a surplus. What I would like to be able to do is distribute the mats across my toons as I require. |

Alright, you are self-sufficient, but your point of view is not of Trading in an MMO. The OP argument is valid, if I want an item, someone else has to farm it. In the end, it is just gold. I can sell my game time for gold. Sounds like work to me! :) |
|
Yep, theres nothing to stop him spending time grinding the gold to 'buy' the items then. problem solved! |

They are the equivalent of Essence/primal/eternal/volatile. I'm playing on beta atm, 600 tailoring/enchanting and i have to say these SoH don't come very hard. Sure if you want to grind specifically for them it might be a pain but you get plenty when you're doing your dailies, dungeons and other out world stuff. although i usually don't agree with BoP stuff in crafting this implementation isn't that bad |
