crafting
Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2008 9:07 amCouple of quick questions and a request here....
First, there are some significant differences between "EA" shards and Whispering Pines. Samurai plate does NOT get the mage armor bonus for free here. (harder to go the bushido route) And the high end materials are not getting the bonuses they normally get. In many cases the bonuses are lower than normal. That may be deliberate since we have higher ore types here but I just wanted to be sure. The properties also seem to vary. While discovery is nice, crafting can be difficult to figure out with so many variables. (I have been spending lots of time at work((like now)) researching modern crafting to try to make better items etc.
Is there a plan to implement the ML era elven recepies in the game for crafters? I am getting the materials for it but so far have not found a way to get the recepies.
Lastly, a request to my fellow players. If you have a vendor and want some easy gold every few hours ride by a tailor and the blacksmith and request a Bulk Order Deed. Put them up for sale on your vendors and I will come by and buy the ones that are good. (1k or so each) On a highly populated shard it can take months/years or so to collect the BOD's to get the top end runic hammers. Here it will be nearly impossible unless there is some serious changes to the reward levels that i have not seen yet. Turned in a few BODs so far and the rewards seem to be normal. For example.. to get a valorite runic hammer it takes a large bulk order deed of plate 6 pieces exceptional... That means you need 20 exceptional small bulk orders of each piece in valorite. So you need 120 smalls total to fill that large. You can get a BOD every few hours but they are completely random what they will be. So numbers matter and if other folks can get in the habit of getting the BODs and selling them, then myself and the other crafters will be certain to toss the fruit of our labors onto our vendors.
