I’m guessing with new areas in 1.0 or later with the full game release it will be easyer to farm mats for refining, but my worries are that the ingame currency just become meaningless with patch 1, all there is to use it on is buy armor upgrades if your lucky or ingredients for food and potions, all other vendors seems useless now and theres only the refining part of them that is important witch is free (dont get any ideas devs!)
I liked having to play around with the currency of the game aswell, creating choices and playing around them. Should I upgrade or wait, do I have enough or should I power through, now theres just “farm and you’ll get there.”
I hope they bring mats for sale at vendors back, but maybe up the price cause its nice to have it on hand incase you’re missing a few mats for upgrades or crafting and then the ingame currency comes in to play, “I could buy what im missing”.
Also would help with the full game realese as replayablity comes in to play, as a reward for finishing the game your next charater will have an easyer time as it can start with fully upgraded gear without the need to farm for hours and make the “boring early game” faster as you’ve grown custum to end game.
