Forbidden Alchemy (Sacrifice) - Trade Forbidden Fragments for Alchemist Awakening Ma

January events just seem to keep on being lackluster this year. This sac is no exception. There really isn't much good to get for those frags, aside from some extra awakening frags. I still got the awakening mats just in case but from what I've seen so far, maxing Alchemist isn't really worthwhile. Hopefully the Valentines day sac will be awesome like it was last year. And hopefully, both the endless sac loop and reducing sac tier bugs will be fixed by that point, getting sick of those.

And on another note, is it just me or have the droprates of ironite from vortexes been significantly lowered? I used to be able to get at least 100 from each vortex but this sac, I've only got it like twice from 7 vortexes. Same has been the case in a few previous ones.

I think I ended up with about 4-500 Ironite after all the vortexes to get the Alchemist frags.

It seems to be random on vortex ironite drops, some get them almost every round. I did four vortexes no ironite dropped at all. Out of 300K essence only 40 ironite excluding the challenge rewards.

I forgot there were even event achievements. Maybe that's where it came from.

I was up 1K ironite after finishing the sacrificing and getting the 6th occult item. I can't say how many vortex fills or jsut general sacrifices I performed. Some with tier 6.. a few tier 4... One or two were 100,000+ essence vortex fills, doubling the rewards.

A blur for me also. Spent 60mil gold opening souls and final awakening. 2 double tier VII, I remember those. Too bad his passive isn't instant disable first round like Prisoner. Then he would kick Moons nuts and actually be worth the HUGE cost

Well, considering Alchemist final awakening shards are more quantity required and more expensive, I ended up with 3.
I'm counting on getting the remainder from events, dungeons, or awakening souls. I have more pressing toons to finish awakening.... trying not to get too side tracked. You gotta stay focused or you can end up w/ a bunch of half awakened toons.

Regarding the discussion on upcoming awakenable toons and the wise spending of resources, I'm going to post Durandal's info on awakening requirements below.

(One day you'll be able to look back and tell your grandkids about the time when only a handful of toons were awakenable.... cuz it looks like it will become the norm for future toons.)
