    Update 2/12/2004
    ------------------------

    Tribute Update
    ------------------------

    The Tribute system as it was released has caused a greater variance in favor distribution than was intended. In order to make the system more healthy, fair, and balanced, there will be changes made over two updates -- one today and one next week.

    The following changes have been made today:

    - Favor Maximum: There will be a maximum limit of 200,000 favor that a player character can have available at any time. If a player has accumulated more than 200,000 favor at the time of this change, the character will retain its favor, but will not be able to add to it until it falls below 200,000.

    - Favor Value Adjustments to Items: Some items have had their favor value adjusted to be more appropriate. For this update, this will not affect the favor amount that a player has gained by handing in items that have had their favor values adjusted.

    For next week's update, we will be adjusting each character's favor amounts based on any items that were handed in to Tribute Masters that have had their favor values adjusted.

    We hope you continue to enjoy the benefits of the Tribute system and Gates of Discord.

    In other words: Play, raid and be merry, for tomorrow we nerf.

        Has anyone been able to log in and test the tribute values of tradecrafted items?

          I tested geerlok smithing hammers.

          Was: 1,400.

          Now: 72.



          By my calculations, my ~300K points will shrink to 15K now. But, on the other hand, my gnome's tinkering is now 221 and I do not have thousands of geerloks shoved in my closet.


          The retoactivity really bugs me, but the 72 value seems a good one vs. the 13pp you can get for thise from vendors or the 50pp (if you are patient) in E`ci's bazaar.

            No, it'll shrink to 15K in next weeks patch - it'll still be 300K now. Burn off as much as you can before they patch again.

              Depending on how they do the retro. If you burn 15k now and your total is retro'd to 15k, you might end up at 0 after the patch...
