Hello,
With the news of new method of getting PEN boss gears which not only confusing but involves material gathering and the dreaded time gated quests as a way to slow down the progress. I've thought of simpler idea that I'd like to present here and hoping PA could take notice too:
Change the way Cron stone works
At present, Cron stone serves to protect gears from getting deleveled. My suggestion is to remove deleveling mechanism and utilize cron stone as means to increase success chance. It can be combined with 1x advice of valks and failstack and should apply from DUO -> PEN.
This method should still make enchanting fun, challenging and grindy but at the very least now players have more control on the success chance by putting more cron stones, thus easier overall especially for new players (the main intention PA created the new confusing and imho messy bandaid enchantment method).
*I shall leave the calcuations on how many cron stones needed per enchantment level % increase to the statisticians working in PA because I'm trash when it comes to doing statistics...
