[Umbraeques]

Breastplate and Greaves templates are not stackable.

I can confirm the rest of the info above however.

[crystilla]

Thanks for mentioning that as I forgot to include it.

(Any recipes posted are recipes I personally made on a live server and not recipes from beta that haven't been tested.)

[Cellan]

Doesn't have to be a cultural forge.

By copycating the basic template recipes using Vandadium Ore and Brimstone Coal I managed a set of vanadium plate templates.

By doing the same with Exquisite Silk using Immaculate Silk and Faysilk Filament I managed to build a set of immaculate silk armor templates.

I would feel safe to guess that the leather and chain recipes will be the same but haven't actually tried yet.

[Ratblaster]

The recipies for Leather and Chain templates do indeed follow the same pattern, except leather uses tanning chemical and each uses a different armor type specific template pattern.

Also, note that the templates have 2 uses in UF:
1. Combine with other items to make cultural armor
2. Combine with clay and bonding agent to make group armor (this is why I made a full set of templates last night for all armor types/slots. I successfully created Tier7 group armor with the following recipe:

Combine in Kiln, no-fail:
---------------
Celestrium Encrusted Brachial Clay +
bonding agent (from vendor in Brells rest) +
Vanadium Plate Vambrace Template

produces:

[Zandramadass]

Hey Rat I notice your combine does not use any "loam" which I was told would be spongy for this new armor. Do you know if this is because you went with the Group armor instead of Cultural?

The stuff you made doesnt appear to be restricted by race at all. Can you confirm that races other than the person doing the combine can use this Group armor? Cultural by definition should be restricted to the race of the char doing the combine, can anyone confirm or refute this and possibly give an example of a single combine of the Cultural stuff?

I am not understanding this. Is not "cultural armor" also group armor?
Maybe I do not understand the cultural armor your race wears.
Are you saying that you can take a smithed template and make cultural armor by smithing method (at high levels) with high trivial for the combine
OR do the same cultural armor using pottery device with a no-fail combine?

[Bonadek]

cultural forge part of recipe

you do not need a cultural forge to make the vanadium templates. Cultural forges are for the cultural version of the armor made from using one of the templates.

Standard group armor for the expansion, requires a template (Immaculate leather/silk or Vanadium plate/chain).

Cultural armor for this expansion will require a template AND then a loam/marrow/fluid to create the cultural armor and symbols. What Rat posted he stated was a t7 GROUP armor piece not cultural. I do not think it is the best idea to list all the no fail armor combines (in a kiln) in the tradeskill lists for all the tiers of group and raid armor in UF.

Also, just to note, Immaculate templates and vanadium templates were already in the game prior to UF being launched. They just are now getting a use.

[Paloverde]

Ok, I am getting this now, at least partly.

There are two lines of armor that can be crafted from a single template.

The familiar cultural armor limited to one race, and several classes.
The new (to me at least) group armor that seems to be limited to one class and several races.

As I am studying the recipe cited here, it appears to be the clay that sets the class. Looking at an example of the clay on Lucy, the item itself is not helpful in determining which clay to select from the merchant. BUT, the list of these clays suggest that a piece of clay must be selected not only for the class but by body part also.

Regarding the clay, perhaps I need further clarification. Perhaps the clay is looted, not purchased, and treated in some way to set the class and body part?

[MareeTP]

Using the basic recipe for elegant, and substituting the new coal, ore and with a vanadium template ... I am getting a DNC using spongy loam.

Something is missing.

And/or I need to find the cultural books for the Stalwart level cultural Armor. I expected to - but did not - see them on the regular book merchants.

However the error message Im getting isnt the "this looks right but you need something else ..." one that has previously meant you need to memorize the book recipes..

It's .. You cannot combine these items in this container type!

______________

UPDATE: I found the books. What is missing is steely antonican ore. Not on the cultural ore vendor in Qeynos. Instead he has refractory antonican ore at what logically would be expected of the price of the steely. The refractory ore results in the DNC. It appears the spongy loam is correct, per the books.

Cultural armor = crafted template + loam/marrow/fluid + racial ore (storebought currently not in game, going in on the 15th) + racial patterns/molds, etc.

Underfoot group armor. Drop from mob will determine what tier it is from (basically what zone it drops in) and the slot for the armor. You need a tradeskilled component (the template) and then a vendor sold bonding agent. The armor type and bonding agent will narrow down to only 1 possible class outcome and yields group armor of t6, t7, t8, t9.

[Merlaina]

So the Celestrium Encrusted Brachial Clay in your recipe is a dropped component from a mob, much like a luminescence from SoD, right? Or maybe a more appropriate analogy would be a steam core from SoF, since those were semi-class restrictive. And instead of needing the previous tier of armor we just need a template instead. Does that pretty much sum it up?

Yes.

[Boanerges]

Maree,
Where did you find the book and what was it called? I looked on the book vendor in PoK but didn't see anything beyond book XIII, or crafting elegant armors.
