Archaics for most classes are fairly class defining spells and when there was a higher population at lower tiers hanging out killing prison/rust/enthann/tot/etc you could reasonably expect to make them with a decent amount of luck (some exceptions of course for exceptionally bad streaks but I digress). Nowadays if you want to get one for an alt you'll probably find a friend or two to box and kill Prison trash and hope for the best or find random Rust raid mobs up to kill and hope there also. This is kind of tedious and annoying to ask people to do so I'd like to make a request to possibly ease this up, especially compared to Runics nowadays where you can get a lot of the parts in common XP zones for Runic 1 and Runic 2 is Yclist (likely the goops which while annoying drop parts at a decent rate and they're class agnostic) and Spires which currently has 3? guilds vying for mobs in there.
My suggestions are:
- A quest NPC next to the box person for archaics that will take 2-4 rot pages (maybe split them up between Priests/Casters but I personally don't see a reason to) and give you a random fragment for your class. It's still random but at least you have a guaranteed chance at a page you might need.
- A higher tier 6 man (or perhaps raid?) that drops 1-2 completed archaics. Still random, not as random as getting 4 different fragments
- The ability to purchase frags (or perhaps a completed spell?) for scholastic tokens. I'd gladly pay like 5-6 scholastic tokens for an archaic, probably more to be honest.
