Tradeskill Trophy Stats in Ammo slot

[wildone]

Hello all,

I spend allot of time on these boards and finally broke down and registered. I am a GM in brewing and started on my other tradeskills, one day I hope to be a member of the 1750 club. Anyway I searched all over in the forums here and maybe I just couldnt find it. I wanted to know why the tradeskill trophy stats do not work if you equip it in your ammo slot. I think it is a waste of allot of plat to not be able to equip it there and get the benefits of the stats. My stats are currently 310 across the board except my Int and Cha are lower. So I figured it would be a decent upgrade and push up my two lower stats. Well to my suprise it doesnt push them up. I guess I should have asked someone in game first if it would work or not. Please tell me that they are actually looking into it in game and have plans to make the stats take effect while it is in your ammo slot. I know its not a matter of the ammo slot not allowing stats, because shissar claws and such give the bonus. So why not allow our tradeskill trophys to take effect. It takes time to grind up the tradeskills so why not reward someone for it.

Please let me know what you think and also if I missed this discussion in another area please let me know that as well.

Thank you
New guy posting.

As far as I know, you don't get stats off of ammo items, but there was a change, a number of patches ago, that DID allow to get the skill modifier from a tradeskill trophie equiped in the ammo slot

Dont you get the stats from the shissar fangs if they are equiped in your ammo slot? I cant confirm it for sure but I thought I heard someone say they were able to. Can anyone help in this case? Someone has to have the fangs can you equip them and report back if they help your stats? BUT more importantly why wouldnt they allow you the stats for anything that is able to be equiped in your ammo slot? It doesnt make sense to me and I think the eq community should all be reporting the bug weekly until we get the answer. After all its a slot and if you can put something in it, then it should take effect. The mod does work but the stats dont. If the stats are not avaliable from the ammo slot then there really is no purpose to it cause you can put a geerlok in the primary and get the same effect of maxing at 252. So why would you spend the time to max the skill, then get the artisan seal which is very expensive and then have nothing you can carry around of use? Doesnt make sense to me. Someone else has to be as bothered by this as myself. I mean why make it equipable in the ammo slot if you are gonna disable the stats that make it attractive in the first place? It ment I wouldnt have to carry stiens or get a cha buff anymore for myself and Im sure others feel the same way. Has anyone talked to the dev team by chance to find out the real reason behind it not working?

Thanx

You've never gotten stats from items in the ammo slot. With items you throw, there will be some in range and some in ammo, so why would they double the stats?

Hey Wildone
You have to see the ammo slot this way:
It's a kind of an 11th inventory slot.
You don't get stat enhancements from anything in your inventory, do you? (okay, stat food and drinks set aside).

It was quite nice of the devs to listen to the community and enable the stat modifiers to work in the ammo slot (went life a few patches ago).

So, concerning your lost stats in the ammo slot, I can only quote the lovely sentence: It's working as intended.

Now we need a no-fail combine for every trophy + every bridle/drum, so I can have my skill mod, AND my mount equipped.

Not really needed. You can take your bridle/drum out of a bag, drop it in the ammo slot (trophy on your cursor), right click to summon the mount, left click to drop the trophy back in, and drop the bridle/drum in the bag. Other than one inventory slot, you don't lose anything, and you can click a clicky with your trophy "in hand", so it's no trick. It's rather quick. A quick trick. To click.

Ow. Sorry.

Horses don't need to be equipped to cast anyway... you can click them from a regular inventory slot.

Fishing lures...

Many of them have +2/3% and go in the ammo slot. If you put that much work into getting the trophy you deserve to get the bonus. I don't imaging it will ever change though.
