(PSN)Silenceform Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Quoted from Update 24.0.0 : A reusable Ayatan Amber Star Blueprint (available for 10 Vitus Essence) is purchasable from the Arbiters of Hexis in the Relay. Anyone on PC can tell me what is needed to craft one amber star ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEP8FlyBoy Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Two Cyan Stars, 100k Creds, and 2 Vitus Essence. So yeah, it really isn't worth it if you think about it. You need to do two rotations of Arbitration to make one star for any sculptures you earn outside of Arbitration. Problem is you may earn two more sculptures (most of them needing at least 1 Amber star, or 2 more rounds of Arbitration). You can see what's happening here. Every Amber Star you craft, you'll likely just end up needing more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappie Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) An amber is worth only 500 end per statue except in one case; the orta. Cyan's are worth ~300 endo. So in all reality the amber is a "bad deal" except if you have significant excess cyan stars and vetus. The value of Vitus right now is 2 plat each or 4 plat per amber (power donation sells for 30p). So, right now it is just better to by the amber stars for plat and convert your vitus into mods and sell those on the market. Once the mods become worth much less...then maybe the recipe will be valuable. Thus, since I maximize my laziness I only put ambers in Anasa and Orta and cyan in the others and say "screw it".

Damocles Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I just found out the amber star BP was a thing, I was about to buy it when I saw the build cost. 100k Credits-> lol NO 2 x Cyan Stars-> Means you're not even making a profit 2 x Vitus Essence? HAHAHA, DE did some quick math and forgot to carry the "for every 2 sculptures you can only fill 1 (maybe)" 1 Hour craft time... You're joking right?

SirTobe Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Gotta be real desperate to use one of those blueprints. At least it is reuseable, but considering the cost for building it doesn't really matter anyway, lol. I did buy one though, in case it may be useful in the future.

(PSN)Shelneroth Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 All this talk of grofit. The BP is so you can always have pretty sculptures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uAir Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The time you spent doing arbitrations could just be spent farming endo instead and you'll probably make out with more endo that way if you have a good group. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rand0mname Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Anyone crafted this stuff? Maybe it is a decoration? 3 часа назад, Descent-of-Damocles сказал: 100k Credits-> lol NO OMG. I missed the credit cost... That's just... Seriously? Someone confused "Expensive, but can be used in a pinch." with "Totally useless even for bragging. Because you can can not show it off and brag about it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, this was DE's response to player base about Amber Stars being super rare. So they made it a guaranteed way of acquiring it. Rare as it is, the costs are simply absurd; "the worst trade deal in the history of all trade deals!" That said, it's as if you trade two 10 dollar bills + service fee + transaction fee + conversion fee + waiting period for a single 20 dollar bill.

For people that like to do Arbitrations, it's not that awful as long as they have tons of credits to blow and not a ton of amber stars to use. All the sculptures that drop on the Arbitrations only require 1 amber star, and the resources to build it are basically what you will naturally get from doing AB rotations, except of course for credits. If you do AB, you get 2x Vitus Essence and likely a sculpture. Cyan stars.. everyone has tons of them. For me the drawback are the credits, but that's because I'm not a big fan of farming Index. I'm sure you can get 100k in only a few minutes of Index no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complaints about lack of Amber starts, that led to DE making the BP available, were driven by the fact that Arbitrations drop sculptures like candy, but then you couldn't really fill them because .. you know .. lack of Amber stars 😉 So I'd assume that people complaining about the BP are the ones doing Arbitrations. If you're not doing Arbitrations, the drop rate ratio of Cyan/Amber stars is fine IMHO. Personally, I never ran out of Amber stars before Arbitrations were added.

Like who seriously has an Amber deficiency problem? All you need to do is run a couple Corpus City maps with the locker mod and loot every locker on the map. Do this for an hour and you'll be set for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the drones make most weapons useless except for Arca Plasmor, which had a riven price bump of 2x since the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
