Hey, so, like seeing that the devs of this game obviously take everything and at a LATER time release it as new content or no-longer-special content, I figured I would give a quick idea on how to do this for the perpetual items. Each archive FX effect has a 5 minute cool down and each FX effect has a two minute long effect. Now, if we add 3 effects together, that would make it 6 minutes.
A good macro would make it look like you had a perpetual ongoing, as they removed the Singleton tag from these items, but the macro could only go so far, as you would have to stop every 2 minutes for the FX effect to turn on. Now, I could suggest that you remove the thingy that starts up the FX effects in the first place, but wouldn't it just be easier to turn each of these things into a collectors reward? 3 FX effects = One perp. All though this would take away the "special" factor of them as LE rewards, the devs of this game have taken away the "special" factor of the things given to Veterans. So - summary for all that don't want to read my explanation:
Get 3 of a single FX effect, trade it in for one Perpetual item.
