"In the Haven bazaar, you can meet Punch, the variant smith. For a price, he will remove all UVs from the selected item (if any), and re-apply the desired amount of randomly chosen unique variants to it. The price of his services rises sharply when you decide to apply more than one simultaneous unique variant to an item:
1 unique variant = 20,000 crowns
2 simultaneous unique variants = 75,000 crowns
3 simultaneous unique variants = 225,000 crowns"

Ugh...This is insane.Another "pay to win" type of thing here.1 UV cost is very nice.2 UV cost is bad,but acceptable.3 UV cost is nearly imposibble.You can make a 2★ item up to 5★ item,and even have 10 - 15k somewhere in your pocket,with that price!

Here is the prices I'm thinking about.I think these are better :

1 Unique Variant : 40k
2 Unique Variants : 85k
3 Unique Variants : 130k

Or maybe :

1 Unique Variant : 30k
2 Unique Variants : 65k
3 Unique Variants : 100k

Please...Don't you think 3 UVs are way expensive?

epic, that is a crown sink. crown sinks help the ce prices to stay down.
besides, you don't really want a stupidly powerful weapon to make everything boring and killable in two secs.

oh wait ...

Serious face on (=3=)

It's like EV training with Pokemon, or trying to get the good IVs and natures when breeding Pokemon.

Take it as an exponential graph, where x=power, y=price. Most weapons stay on the left hand side, and trying to squeeze just a little more power costs a lot.

Besides, the 3 UV option lets you keep specific UVs, especially your Ultra Highs, rather than another random roll, and it's quite cheat to have at least 3 UVs. regardless of being f2p or p2p.

I like my poker. Don't judge me.

I'm pretty sure that the unique variant smith is mostly used by people who have access to the much later stages.

I'm mostly a F2P and I've never had more than 20,000 crowns at one time.

In my opinion, this suggestion is a troll.

Sir, I don't require any more than 2 UV's if that. Those uv's will be ASI and ctr if I ever require assistance with either.
3uv ticket's for tryhards. Especially after the ability to lock in the freaking uv's you get.

Whatcha gonna do? Cram a dmg vhigh on top of that? Owait you can get a max with armor and a pet!
Honestly I find the price up to 2uv tickets too low with the lock in option available. You can also grind endlessly... You know, unlike before when you had to pay a good portion of your earnings on running more now you can keep all of that sweet Cr.

I just managed to actually begin playing again (unlike prior when I was fighting my comp) and I am amazed at how much more can be made now. Quite literally the only thing screwing you anymore is the 5* paywall. Even then a dmg UV is all you need to cut through that PvE-wise. Ctr v.high can be achieved, do you really need max to beat half the stuff they throw at you? (even a bomber can make do with v. High)

A regular player, playing 2 hours every 3 days from what limited information I see in-game could make every weapon and armor in the game within half the time that it used to take if you don't count top-end 5* weapons. Nobody cared about the defense aspect of armors in the first place so don't even begin to count that.

I got a weapon slot within an hour of play, a single hour... Before endless elevators that took 2 days (4-6 hours) because I wasn't cramming endless fsc.
/endrant

back to the op. What makes you deserve a cheaper 3UV ticket? You got quite close to EVERY other aspect of the game handed to you on a platter made of diamonds. I can't justify it, seeing how tryhards could readily flood the market with not-so-unique-anymore variants on all the popular weapons if they saw fit to, single UV tickets are extremely cheap and even a ctr med would make life easy for most newer and even some older players.

No, the only things remaining for players to climb PvE is the 5* heating paywall (seems rather easy to overcome for anyone with patience and conviction via either uv's or SL's) and the price of UV tickets.

Seriously, if half the beta players saw this crap they'd probably go to slap the crap out of any nub making suggestions like this.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

my first (and only) punch roll was a CTR low for an item I was about to sell (cutter, when I was young and foolish and still ragecrafted them). my first (and only) double UV craft was a slime low construct low on an RSS. am I complaining about it? no, I'm just saying I'm the unluckiest person ever. instead of suggesting the first thing that jumps on your mind because you are pissed off, try thinking of the consequences of what you suggest, that will take you some time to think and maybe you'll post a better suggestion.

EDIT: misty, 7kcr is a pretty good price considering the amount of people that grinded FSC before the BS update, and even now it is so (when the prices stabilize after the sales, of course)

No Luck

Now,let me tell you about that unlucky UV.

I was doing 17 for Tier 1 construct.
20 for Tier 2.
23 for Tier 3.

After UV,i started to do 18,20 and 23,in the same tier way. (Tier 1 first,Tier 3 last.)

Totaly useless.It would be better if i got ASI for my Flourish,even better if CTR.

that's bad luck, not a reason to whine about prices.
besides, I too could deal an exorbitant amount of 8 more damage with my RSS with those UVs (which I rolled out when I upgraded the bomb).

There's thing called the Auction House. It has this space for weapons, and some of these weapons have UVs. There's even this brand new feature that lets you search for them.

Get over it. UVs are expensive. If they were cheap like that, we'd have higher ce prices and issues where too many people had UVs and then UVs would be worthless on the AH, which just so happens to be a large market in the game's economy.
----
EDIT: You think you have bad luck? I rolled a cheap asi low GF about 8 times and got asi low twice, on the second asi low, I kept that. That's 160,000 cr, but I don't really care. I can still go nab a asi med one for 200k-275k. With free elevators, that's nothing.

At least you people are lucky.Should be at least little bit cheaper,so the new players,and UV fetish lovers can know what is "Having 2 UVs or 3 UVs" means.

Shadow weapon?Why not give Damage vs. Fiend or Damage vs. Undead to it? -_-

Elemental?Nope,no Construct bonus damage for you.We are going to give you Gremlin bonus instead. -_-*

And they are all in Low too.Even the rewards from early levels gave me these on low. -_-***

Well duh.

Dude. Rich peeps spend MILLIONS of crowns to get what UV's they want. Some have gotten bankrupt. Heck, my UV's are only low. I've yet to see a new Vanguard with better than low UV's.

You shouldn't complain about it. It's like a lottery, except the odds are actually fair.

So it almost took you 2 years just to get a UV on your flourish? Clearly someone has never heard of FSC.

Also, there is nothing wrong with the currently price for UV tickets.

Epicskunk, tell me why you are rolling your weapons for UVs if you haven't even become a champion yet... you clearly don't have a full 5* loadout yet, and its not that smart to roll something if it not 5*, unless you roll it low level and sell it.
And trust me, my construct low FF, gremlin low combustor and slime low DBB can tell you that you are not the only one with bad luck.

^ yeap

Why are you wasting money on that when you don't have 5* gears? Punching gears are for the end game veterans, not you. And unless you got a free ticket from a forge prize box, just don't waste money on thus and get some better gears, and you might never know, you can get a free UV from just crafting.

Like it's already been said, you DON'T ROLL UVs AS A <5*.
UVs are for the post-vanguard end-game "OP."
And, we are not lucky. Other people said it, I'll say it again in, my case:
I only spent 160,000 cr and ended up with the same UV I started with. There are some people who spend 30k ce-worth in cr trying to get a ASI VH, and still fail to get it.
I will admit, I do have some good UVs, but that's because I had to work to get that UV. And, you're complaining about prices when you just suggested to DOUBLE the 1 UV roll and cheapen the others. Where's the logic in that?
Graveyard this, seriously.

@Mushy-Bucket

It took me one roll to get ASI VH on my Combuster and two rolls to get ASI High on my Achreon. Watcha gonna do 'bout it son?

And OP, the prices are fine the way they are. If you get Beast Low or CTR VH and you don't like it then you should realize that you spent the cr for it, knowing the chances for a UV are slim.
