EQ Stratics Dev Chat 01-27-2005

[Maevenniia]

The full log of the chat is at EQStratics but here are a couple of items on tradeskills & DoN:

Brekkee - *Guest109847019371* Are there any plans for adding to the current Tradeskills?
Rashere - I'm gonna channel Absor here: There are plenty of new tradeskill recipes being introduced. In addition, we're completely revamping the cultural armor.

Brekkee - *VarganMarrblade* Does the cultural armor revamp mean that the Guktan Forge will finally have a use?
Rashere - Absor says smash...er...yes.

Glee! (even at the possibilities, hearing the Cultural revamp confirmed...)

I'm happy about the revamp, but a little disappointed that you apparantly have to buy the expansion to get it.

[Maevenniia]

Hmmm, I don't see how they can restrict it, unless the recipes won't work in any but the DoN zones...or use a no-drop component from one of those zones.

I think it's likely that the revamped cultural recipes will be available to all, plus there will be new recipes from DoN content (all those Dragons, gotta be able to make more than just Dragon Steaks!) Even then, having DoN will mean you can farm your own ingredients as usual, but if the components are droppable (majority of PoP ingredients were droppable although insanely rare) then you can still make the stuff by buying what you need in the bazaar.

Hmm. Didn't think of that. Good point SML.

I'm capering with total glee for the nda to come off so i can talk about the new cultural i dont know what the stats are like becasue {NDA} (~giggle so no reading recipes) But i do think folks are going to be very tickled with the overhaul .
