Fix 'Contemplation' to 50% of original time not current

Postby banok » Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:54 am

Currently the hearth magic contemplation is it halves the current remaining time of a curio, which means its most optimal to use immediately after you put in your study window.

The issue with is I would need to set real life alarms to log in my character when my curio finishes to get the most out of this, im not surprised if somewhere in this community there is a bot for this.

But its quite easily addressed without changing the actual balance by reducing the remaining study time by 50% of the original total. as-long as its impossible to use twice on the same curio.

Sounds reasonable.

It only sounds reasonable to people who are never going to get a troll skull to spam Contemplation on.

did you read the op, once per curio. so using it on troll skulls would actually be severly nerfed compared to currently where the exp cost cooldown isn't very long.

I like the option to blow 10k xp in order to finish a credo faster. How frequent is this botting problem for contemplation specifically?

It's good as it is, You want it to finish faster, You pay for it. I want this option to stay as it gives me more flexibility in terms of gaining LP from curios as well as possbility to fast forward future credo quests where studing something takes few days. I don't want to reduce by half but want to reduce is long enough it doesn't take longer than a day. I'm ready to pay for it.

I think limiting the use to once per curio would make sense as XP is, from some point onward (Realm -> From the Public Coffer), unlimited - and with capping that it wouldn't be a problem to have Contemplation reduce by 50% of the original time.

Or perhaps the curio could remember how often it's been Contemplated (just like artifacts with Gilding Song), and have the second Contemplation reduce it by 25% of the original time, then 12.5% of the original time, etc.

It already does that.
