Trivials at 112 but cannot combine until you have 220 skill?

[Sharyl]

I don't mind skill restricted combines if the trivial is higer than the combine, but I think only being able to combine at a much higher level than the trivial is idiotic. I know, let's make everything like that, so no one can ever increase their skill level :roll:

ethereal silk swatch two strands of ether, ethereal curing agent tanaan loom trivial >250; wt 2.5, small, all/all, stackable. Used in the Planar Armor Quest

trivial 212, skill-restricted combine, cannot attempt until skill 220 (or until modified 220 skill from using a +tailoring item)

cured ethereal energy two ethereal silk swatches, tanaan embroidery needle tanaan loom trivial >250; wt 5.0, small, all/all, stackable. Used in the Planar Armor Quest

trivial 212, skill-restricted combine, cannot attempt until skill 220 (or until modified 220 skill from using a +tailoring item)

This was thoroughly ranted on when the parch that urmm......fixed... the trivials was unveiled.


So yes, we all hate it, but SoE wanted it so. :-(

There is a reason for this. And granted i dont like it, i understand where verant is coming from. The highend stuff for Tradeskills can be difficult. I beleive verant wanted to make it easier, thus lowering the trivials on many of its potential recipies. However, the one side effect woudl be that lower skilled people woudl be able to make the high end stuff, OR use the high end stuff as a way to skillup.

ethereal temper, 2 celestial essence, emerald tea leaf, soda

Trivial at 212, restricted at 220+

I am betting verant wanted the temper to be easy to make, however they did not want it to be used for skill ups. I would have loved to have made this instead of the Mino Brews.
