Its worth noting that players at lv186+ are grinding to a halt while farming jewels and maxing out arms. Many of these players are now buying red arms in the Bazaar to build new G6 red arms to convert to new G20 purple arms for 2 reasons:
1) Free-playing limits your jewel gains/progress so you become more and more reliant on arms and their fort%. Re-doing red arms (looking for a G6 with high fort%) gives players a chance to rebuild a weak arm they may have been using and max'd out by now.
2) Future patches allow for G110 arms (the max grade) to be recast to a super arm of G0 (or G1?). Two of these G0 arms can be synthesized to a higher grade, with significant power gains. While farming purple arms is nothing new, players below 194 ca buy red frags NOW in the Bazaar to make G20s, meaning they won't have to spend divinity on farming red arms in the future.
The Heavenly Weapons privilege (player buff) at lv194 (after beating Hydra, half-way though the Undead Fountain map) removes red frags from the Bazaar, which is good for purple frag buying rate... but means any red frags only come from spending div to farm them.
