Test Server Tradeskill Changes (4/05/05)

You can read about all the changes here

*** Tradeskills ***

We have changed the chance to gain a skill up when using tradeskills. Previously there was a large increase in the average number of combines needed for a skill increase for skill values of 160 through 190. This made sense when 200 was the skill cap. We have changed the algorithm to remove the harsh spike in combines required for skill ups from 160 to 190, making it a more reasonable to increase all the way up to 300.

- Alabaster Beak and Ivory Stormrider Canine are now marked as usable in tradeskills.

- Dragons of Norrath brewing items now drop off NPCs. They were only available through foraging before.

- Added the race name to the Unfired Cookie Cutters. New item names are: Unfired Barbarian Cookie Cutter, Unfired Gnome Cookie Cutter, Unfired Troll Cookie Cutter and Unfired Animal Cookie Cutter.

- Added the recipes for four cookie cutters for Luclin beasties. The sketches and molds should be easily found on vendors.

- Added the appropriate effects to Dragons of Norrath potions.

- The recipe for dough made from Rock Hopper Egg now uses Rockhopper Egg. It turns out that there were two items with similar names, but the one used in the recipe doesn't drop in game.

- Removed the recipe for chain jointing that was used in Planes of Power armor. This recipe was removed because the jointing is no longer used in any recipes.

- You will now only need to collect half the number of items for the level 65+ Vah Shir racial armor pattern book quest.

Fantastic. This needed to be done for non-foragers. Otherwise the DoN recipies were useless for them.

It would only hurt those who makes profit off foraging and selling rare items like air-infused spring water (often 1K+ on Vaz bazaar!) but be a great benefit to us non foragers or those who don't have the time to forage needed compoments.

Now brewing Interplanar Brain Blaster should be a lot cheaper. All that's left is the rare Kirin Horn

1k+??? Wow I guess I should have tested the market on CT with the 12 stacks I've foraged...am saving them for pottery, but at that price I could have waited a bit longer =p

Does anyone know if there are any changed trivials? Changes to trivials, we have been told, is part of this process.

The changes to trivials were to be due in a later patch.
