The main problem of you guys is that you want to rush everything, myself just done upgrading all to pre-legendary state ( no plans to go legendary yet) without spending $$ or grinding hard, just 4-3h pe day.  really? i dont even spend just to Upgrade my weapon lol, all i do is grind on dailies, at the moment my AP is 686. its not about AP, Buy Blade and Soul Gold but Skills.

Blade & Soul only problem is, accessories cost a hipload to upgrade too. And even your change to weapon upgrade requires mats that need to be grinded. Faction insignias? These new silverfrost refining stones. Why dont you do something like everything should be easy up until the last 2 - 3 tiers of gear. Just make the rest upgrades super easy. Ugh.

 I am been playing this game since the beginning. And i still only at first step of scorpio. Blade and Soul Gold If i don't upgrade my accessories. sure i would be at the last step. I only have time to run dailies. I do have real life. I can't grind all day like some young kids. I try to make gold by crafting.

But it cost so much of soulstones and moonstone that being use to upgrade weapon and accessories. like i said will see if i still wanted to plays this game. If i am teen or collage student or still lives at home. Sure i would have time to grinds for gold. I plays MMO for long times. I do know how the games works.
