    I know the problem with the solid cores is well known and some of us here on the forums have referred to it in the past but i think right now it has become even worse, especially for dks and other classes that use the set from the cubes.
    Lets do quick maths, shall we?
    how many solid cores will a dk need for a tier 6 tank build?
    3x400 solid cores for keens items
    1x400 for ring of life +1x400 for another ring of life or agathons lost ring
    thats a total of 2k solid cores.
    On top of that, many dks nowadays go for the cube set and rightfully so. That set consists of 5 items that all require solid cores. So, if a dk goes for all the above items plus the cube set then:
    4x400 solid cores( i dont count the ring since i have already counted it above).
    So, for the best possible build out there dks will need 3600 solid cores. Do the devs really have any idea how hard it is to farm 3600 solid cores?
    Moreover, this situation does not affect only the dks. Mortis ring needs requires also solid cores, rangers in pvp also use agathons lost ring, some rangers use predator.
    The items that require solid cores right now are for some reason among the best items in the game, let alone that by keeping increasing the tier of the items, if some players have like uniques with 1 or even 2 gold lines and they need to upgrade then with augments cores, they will need solid cores again.
    To sum it up, its really been a while since we brought up this problem and we have yet to see any real actions from the devs to show us they are on the way of addressing this issue.

    I dont think its that hard to solve a problem like this: for example, reduce the number of items that require solid cores and change their recipes. Its not that hard is it?
    Another idea is to have solid cores as the main core that we get from a PW boss and not as the rare cores that we have like 30% chance to get.

    Im not a dev and i dont know how they will solve this, but at least i know this. This is something that MUST be addressed and it has really been a while since it should have been. I think its about time the devs listened to us and solve a problem, that is major and is not even hard to do so.

    P.S : just for your information and how tough it is to farm those cores. I have been farming every day for the past year on infernal 1 and now on infernal 2 many hours a day. I am farming alot and im sure others do so too. I may not have farmed only for those cores but most of the runs were in q1 and the rest of the Qs that drop solid cores.Here is the total solid cores: 2250-300 for the mortis ring=2550 solid cores in 1 year for a player that farms hella fast in high modes for 1 year + some months. Imagine if i was a dk and had already used my 1750 solid cores on my tier 5 keen set and on 2 rings of life . What would i have left for other items or to upgrade them with augment cores.........?

    DO something already and of course i welcome all players out there to come here and tell their thoughts too. Besides, thats the whole point in creating this too. :D

    For the amount of solid cores that are needed by everyone, the answer is simple, increase the drop amounts or drop from more than just bosses. Maybe from special leaders, like Grim and the White Knight on Grimmag second map, or from the Miller in Stonekeep, or from the two you gotta kill in the crypt to get to Heredur?

    With all the events and dailies and leaderboards.... we only have so much time to play. I've only been able to get 217 out of 300 solid cores since they came out. I did need 550, but now I have a different unique ring that takes Draken Cores (I've spent the 350 there) and looking at my new unique sets... I need 1750 Draken cores sooner than later.. :( I won't be surprised if I'm still working on core transferring to this equipment when the next Dragan event comes out. :( :( :(

    The problem is also the augment cores because they sell black set for drakens at rank 0 also drogonake set and belt from emilia rank 0.
    Is nothing challenging is just that they want us to be in this game every single hour in every single day and this sucs

    It would nice if the new bosses in the harder difficulty normal world maps such as Balor, Gotta, Destructor, share kababb, etc, dropped solid cores and also had higher difficulties.

    As such, everybody is ignoring these new sets at endgame.

    They should all drop solid cores because low level sets are crafted with solid cores so no one will craft them and this make them unusable.

    How about allowing us to buy cores with materis? that would be an option as well

    Buying cores with frags or upping the drop rate would simply make too much sense and make too many players happy. Even swapping other cores for solid ones (as has been suggested in the past) makes too much sense.

    If you really want more, you'll have to figure out a way for DSO to monetize it. That seems to get the most attention and as an added benefit, makes many players hate the idea.

    The best solution is the one I suggested a while ago... and that is to remove solid cores from all the PW bosses' drop, except Mortis, (leaving the PW bosses drop only their elemental cores) and make the solid cores drop from all the world bosses.

    Why should monetize everything ,why not monetize only premium/deluxe time and costumes emotes, weapon skins and stuff that wont get advantage to players.
    They have monetize the entrance on PW infernal and this it seems to me is a greedy and p2w.They have monetize augment cores already you need to buy amphora keys to get drakens and buy them them and premium or deluxe to obtain them from cubes.I really don't want more monetized cores or anything else.
    They have put runes on jesters and jesters are a casino in game so this game should be taxed like an online casino not like all online games.
    They should stop this greedy things and put us some places or events where we can farm every cores we want.

    Or to add solid cores as 100% drop along the elemental ones depending difficulty:
    Painful: 3 elemental, 1 solid
    Excruciating: 4 elemental, 2 solid
    Fatal: 5 elemental, 3 solid
    Infernal I: 6 elemental, 4 solid...

    And so on.

    Hi.
    The drop is very low, way too low. So I would like from drakensang team to help us by either to up the drop of solids or to add them at shop.
    Why? Well simple as you can see here :[​IMG]
    Most of my items at the moment that I want to use are the items I need solids for transfer.

    Some of the items that you see in the pictures are with 4xgold stats , but are in t4, t5, t6 and even t0.

    Some aren't transfered yet and why? well because I don't have enough solids for it and I try so hard to farm them and I simple can't.

    I need a total of 8000 solids cores to transfer all my items from t0 to t6, t4 to t6, etc that you see in the picture.
    Yes some are already t6, but are with low base and I want to up my stats not to stay the same.
    I have other legs 4x gold in inventory also that I want to put in cube set, keen set and so on.

    Some people will say why do I use this items that require solids and not other items.
    Well the answer is simple as you can see I posted a picture with q9 amulet as well and is 4x gold hp, I already have this other items and I want to use new items too.

    I like to craft and I will keep crafting, but is not ok to craft this items and to not be able to use them, is really unfair.

    Soon infernal 4 will come and then more solids needed that will be even harder to obtain.

    I just simple can't update my stats because of this low drop of solids and I see really no point to keep farming and crafting if my stats stay the same.

    I try maps, teleport, but is just way too hard to drop them.

    So drakensang team pls do something and add solid cores at shop (for materi fragments) it will help us a lot by doing so.

    You guys are correct. Now I am realizing this big issue.
    I have now crafted some of 3/4 Legendary Items and found the Uniques to Transfer them on to.
    However, finding Solid Cores to Transfer them seems to be the REAL issue here.

    It seems to take an insane amount of time to farm the required solid cores. INSANE!!!

    I hear you.
    I already spent over 7K solid core for crafting ... and the time it takes to get them is insane XD
