New Spells for tradeskills

I haven't figured out how to make either the water nor the symbol pattern despite various attempts. I have been unable to find any books describing the combines, and I cannot find a bookbinding which is needed to get the base items for the symbol patterns (though a few might be available on vendors in pok).

There are new spells on Lucy that appear to answer your question, set for each diety and caster-type.

I believe the missing items needed will be summoned, not dropped.

*cry* Just when I got to 250 tailoring at long last, here I have to go find MORE wyvern hides. Darn you Sony. Darn you and your tradeskilly goodness.

Aah ... so its the same original reagent for all diety imbue spells, which should be a nice detail (compared with before, where it was all the mixes of cheap and expensive, vendor-sold and drop-only). And I hope the spells go live like that - even paladins can imbue! /cheer

Though do have to wonder what Item #81820 is going to turn out to be ... the reagent could still be dropped.

I also forgot to mention that when this goes live, there's also going to be a messaging system put in place (basically, in-game email). It does not (yet, but is planned) have a way to email the entire guild in one swell foop when raid plans change or such, but it should be good for crafters trying to hook up with other crafters, customers to hook up with folks that they found afk in the bazaar, etc.

Good catch, btw, Kellan on those Blessing spells.

I just checked, and my sk does indeed have Blessing of Innoruuk in his book (no idea where it might be sold. I will check Lavastorm when the servers come back up).

The reagent is called Fortified Water. I have no idea where to buy nor make this water. I'll check the new brewing as well (edit just checked, didn't see a recipie or a sold item). I tried both the Blessed water of inny and the spiteful essence, but neither worked as expected. I'm guessing this spell actually makes the Blessed Water of <diety>. Then there will be a further process needed to turn them into the various levels of water (journeyman through grandmaster).

This article reports that skill caps have been raised to 300, then says it is subject to change

I'm not sure if I should be excited or cry

There seems to be a lot of mention of new quests, which I love. The biggest thing for me I think though is that being a Half Elf, I finally get a Culture


Laurelleii~

Also, I cannot yet go over 250 on beta.

[wayshaper]

will items with percentage modifiers be changed? (ie 250 smith with hammer of the ironfrost will suddenly have a 287.5) the day DoN goes live) yea, im voiceing what some have been wispering about. with the 300 cap, will there be a new modified cap(ie 250/252 modified) 300/345 would be max modified cap with a 15% item.

the question on everyone's minds...

is of course "how many slots are in the GuildBank"?

I'm hoping 4000.

/mourn bazaar

Was it really necessary to mutilate the bazaar so that it's layout matches the barter hall. ICKY ICKY ICKY!

Please keep the bazaar nice and simple as it is now, changing the layout so it mirrors the barter hall is just stupid...the bazaar wasn't broken, it worked well, you didnt have to run through a tunnel to go back an forth from trader stalls to bank, in order to bank the money or replenish stock, and everything was on the same level....

*shakes head*

Oh yeah - why are teh stationary tradeskill containers so freakin HUMONGOUS? We are not giants...I like the new looks (for some of them, others aren't recognizable) except they are waaaaaaaaaaay too BIG, my High Elf self isn't even as tall as the pottery wheel's stool, fer Tunare's sake! And the kiln is sitting on top of the gnome that sells the ore...and I only found out it was a kiln from randomly clicking trying to target the gnome (Gliblix sp?) because it just looked like a big beige thing, with no door to put pottery items in...and I was surprised when the kiln UI window opened...

I was only in the guild hall for a couple of days, but I believe it is 100 or 200 (thinking 200). Stackable items can be stacked or split, which creates new space or takes up another slot, respectively. As long as people don't stick "junk" in here, and are good about tributing junk or whatever, there should be enough slots for most guilds. Really large guilds (are there any of those left now?) might have to come up with some strict guidelines on usage.

[Kheera]

So, are ALL tradeskills up to 300 cap? (Thinking of the lower cap ones, like Alchemy, or even Fishing.)

[KB1]

Bags allowed in Guild bank?

Well. the new and not so improved bazaar is better for lag. By splitting up where people are more with absolute walls, reduces lag. Not that the HIDE command did not do that... but still :/

[Moraganth]

That's the big question.. is the guildbank 200 inventory slots. or 200 bags. 200 simply inventory slots is less room than a single charcater has... 200 bag slots would be just in excess of 1 acount worth of slots (8 toons)... and for a small guild like the ne i'm in, we have somewhere around 6 guild mules... most of them very full.

If it's 200 simple inventory slots.. it'll be of limited use, and just another thing that doesn't live up to it's potentual.

[YurienStonebow]

i wouldn't say it doesn't live up to potential. my guild for instance is the only one on the server that i am aware of that is tradeskill based. therefore having 200 slots would really benefit all of us cause we are all required to master at least 2 trades and officers must master 4 of them. for our sakes 200 of either would be great cause they would always be empty lol
