Regarding the labyrinth they lowered the stats needed to go in there. SO our guides regarding laby stats are now all incorrect.
I requote my translation:
The requirements for the labyrinth are revised downwards, so that everyone can find enough elemental wood.
I don't know the drop rate for laby, but we can assume that the drop rate is similar to dungeons and fights, so in conclusio each time you visit laby you have a x% chance to obtain the artefact.
The x% are recalculated for each laby visit seperately. This is how it should work. Like with the recycler.
At events you can buy artefacts for tickets
, Uiqua mentioned.
And do not forget that there will be players that will sell elemental wood etc.
On german market there are already around 70 elemental wood for sale. Highest price 3.5M.
