  • Rusty Weps Fails

    Astute apologies if this is dupe, but it bears reckoning.

    EQTC shows the tarnished weps recipes as returning the sharpening stone on fail.

    That is not true.

    In fact, every rusty wep I have tried to sharpen returns the rusty wep on fails. ("...alternate product" msg)

    It truly makes sense, since sharpening stones only cost 0.003pp each, and rusty weps are worth anywhere from 0.023pp to 1.230pp. I'd much rather lose a cheap stone on fails.

    On a side note: Aside from quests and normal tradeskills hunting, the rusty-to-ore conversion has been an excellent starting point for smithing with newbie char's... AND provides a nice cheap way to start on early Studded, Reinforced and Banded practices. The true con to this method is encumberance from carrying so many rusty wep's (some weigh more/less than ore itself, but still about the same to carry)

    P.S. Anyone at EQTC thinking of applying the tree design to semi-redundant wep/armor recipes? (scrolling through all of the Black Acrylia and Firebrand to find forged weps is tedious) Just a thought...

    OK went through the 'tarnished XXX' recipes, and changed the Failure returned item from the sharpening stone to the 'rusty XXX' that you were attempting improve.

    Therefore on failure, the sharpening stone is not returned... Correct? But on Success it is returned?

      I am fairly certain the stone is consumed on success and failure.

        It's been a long time since I've done rusty sharpening, but the sharpening stone was always consumed, success or failure.

          That is correct, the stone is always consumed. I think in the old days on failures the weapon use to be consumed but gave you back the stone and maybe thats where the confusion might have been. However, that was years ago and not real sure about that. But now the weapon is returned on failures and stone is consumed on fail or suc.

            OK... bleh... Take a look at the tarnished weapon recipes now. I think I have them correct...

            Sharpening Stones consumed regardless of success

            Rusty version of the weapon returned on Failure.
