Adding Crafting Materials to the shop

@EA_Blueberry

I wrote this reply to another thread on crafting materials only it never seemed to get any response from EA/Respawn so I figured I'd post it as a topic of its own.

I'm wondering how feasible it might be to just add Crafting Materials to the store for either Legend Tokens or Apex Coins? (Preferably both choices for a higher fee in tokens) Say something like 100 materials for 100 AC or 250 LT? Maybe that would help a lot especially after people reach level 100 and no longer get packs free?

  • Apex Packs IMO are not enough of a way to obtain Crafting Materials in this game.

    You should be able to buy Crafting Mats through to store in exchange for Apex Tokens.

    It wouldn't be that big of a deal if all the Commons and Rares at least were Heirloom 

    style to where every Legend can use them instead of having to obtain them on every

    single Legend.

    Just my opinion.

    Its designed to make you want more, its a very well thought out market system that plays on your addictive weaknesses by giving you not enough, you could sit there 15 crafting materials off a legendary for weeks the very fact people like you make these requests means you are hooked and their clever plan is going to survive and fuel this game. 

  • This is a great idea! I currently have 44k of red tokens, which I’ve only ever used to buy new legends. My crafting materials is rarely over 100 these days and I’ve only ever crafted one Legendary Item and that was Pathfinders Hi-5 finisher because I mean, how awesome is that finisher 😛

    Thanks for the support on the idea I'm hoping more will see this as well as anyone from EA/Respawn. I sincerely hope they'll implement this into the shop as a permanent idea. It actually gives some use to the Legend Tokens and a way to try to get others to spend money on Access Coins to pay for materials if we want to craft more items we want.

    Great idea @OnyxTempestRain !!! There have to be more uses for Legend tokens and I think using them for the ability to purchase crafting materials including having the option to buy crafting materials using Apex Coins would be  great, great, great idea!!!!  Hopefully they follow up on this suggestion with something exactly or similar to it.  There has to be more uses for Legend coins than just buying Legends and if one is willing enough, a secondary item in the in game store after a Apex coin purchase of a weapon or outfit.

    Fingers crossed for this much needed change.  😃

  • Thanks for everyone's feedback some XP on this might be helpful in getting it attention too I'm not exactly sure how the whole forum system works.

    I hope you all are seeing this @EA_Blueberry @EA_Benat  @EA_Carrie  @EA_David  @EA_Dennis  @EA_Francois  @EA_Guy  @EA_HLT  @EA_Jesse  @EA_Kristi  @EA_Matty  @EA_Nils  @EA_Nenheb  @EA_NemanjaT  @EA_rhiordd  @EA_Soeren  @EA_Stephen  @EA_Torne  @EA_Victoria  @EA_Wayne

  • Would love to be able to exchange Legend Tokens for Crafting materials, at least then with each level past 100 with no packs you feel like you're working towards something useful!

    Would be cool to be able to mill skins / banners that you don't want for crafting mats too, like it would be a minimal return for most things but over time it adds up.

    It's just nice to have that choice seeing as there is an eye-watering amount of potential items.

    I do appreciate the love of the concept!
