So all you people in the know, enlighten the rest of us.

What Fletch said =) Keep in mind not all of us can go to Sony forums.

Well, as has already been mentioned, the Spell Research classes will now be able to research LDoN and OoW spells. More details to follow in the Spell Research forum.

Drakkin will be getting their own set of DoN Cultural armor, and of course a Pop-era Faith/Spirit stone for the clerics & shaman.

Various NPCs in Crescent Reach will offer tradeskill quests, similar to the ones in Abysmal Sea (except there are no items that need to be "refined") that will let people skill up to about 54 for "free".

There's some simple baking and brewing recipes.

There's a new gem, Taffaeite, for JC, that can be square/round/oval.pear cut.

There will be some new Tinkering recipes, including Roboboar upgrade recipes! And gnomes should head to Ak'Anon for a quest to acquire the Tinkering Mastery AA!

There will be an AA to allow all classes access to Foraging, up to 50. Iksars and Bards who get 50 foraging now will be able to improve it to 100, races/classes with no forage skill whatsoever will now be able to get it to 50.

Best of all, there will be new pottery Tradeskill charms. A charm for every tradeskill, that improves as you reach 300 skill....AND...a Master Artisan Charm, that improves the more of the seven basic skills approach (and reach) 300 skill. And it has 2 augment slots, and very nice stats.

[Asolandri]

Thanks for the update M =) Do you know if the Master Artisan Charm goes by total tradeskill points or in tiers like all skills at 250, then upgrades when all skills at 260, then 270, etc.?

That one got cut in the last day or so. Something about the coding couldn't get it to work properly.

You missed one: JCM is available to everyone.

[Maevenniia]

No forage AA? Oh shoot.

PRE-EMPTIVE MODERATOR WARNING: ABSOLUTELY NO JCM COMPLAINTS/DEBATE IN THIS THREAD. Don't Make me get out the Heavy Artillery (ie: Clue Howitzer)

Tinkering Mastery ?!?

Guess I better change my sig before Ngreth comes looking for my .. cog.

I was looking forward to this for my "fun" AA. ****IT ALL!

is anything changing with DoN master's-level tailoring? specifically the high-elf tailoring component, storm volaas hair? my buyer bought a bunch of storm volaas hairs today, and that always makes me suspicious that folks know a change is on the way and are dumping their soon-to-be useless components...

(a bunch being 13, which is more storm volaas hairs than i've ever seen in the bazaar before, much less possessed).

According to information posted in the Tailoring & Smithing sections...

Existing DoN Cultural drops are not yet being updated.

Cut is probably not the correct word. It's been delayed untli they can get the code change that would allow it to work for everyone.

The reason it was delayed was because it didn't work.

[Minta Rose]

Silly ogre! You use gnomish-caliber wrenches for cogs, not pliers!

[Ngreth Thergn]

Yeah.

We figured putting in an AA that just plain did not work for a majority of the intended audience for the AA was just not a good Idea!

It would have worked great for anyone that already had foraging, but failed utterly for those that have no foraging at all currently.

So when we get it fixed we will consider when to put it in.

Complete (14 total) maps for TSS. Labled and everything.

And believe me, you NEED the lables for Crescent reach (the starting city)
Kinda like Kelethin, multi level, and all SORTS of NPCs

Oh and since the gnomes haven't MADE wrenches yet, I'll pass over my handy dandy Crab crackers to ya Ngreth.... they should work juuuuust fine...

Side note: we live in TX, and have ALOT of pecan trees, but I'm not allowed to call the shelling devices in my home Nutcrackers......2 teenage boys get offended... so Crab crackers works here.
