Upcoming Cultural Changes

[Gaell Stormracer]

The prices of the Silk-based "GM" armour can only come down, given how insanely rare Coarse Silk seems to be...

[utania]

Actually I think the prices will go up initially, until people find and horde enough of the new cultural components.

[Ozadar]

I say combine them or sell them. When the change goes through, they won't be worth diddley because new components are going to be more common. Thus Grandmaster (or whatever they are called) will be worth much less after the patch, whenever that is.

You think that's bad? I've been hoarding 18 Coarse Spider Silk, and I don't know what to do with them. =/

[Orelli Virbonus]

Eek, I hope the changes don't go live on Tuesday!!

Yeah, I'm in the same position. My computer died a few months ago and I'm I've been saving up for a new one. Can't wait to have my account unfrozen and play again. I don't have a stockpile by any means, but I'll cry if I lose those few reptile teeth I've been jealously guarding all this time.

The RNG is truly all powerful - now it's taunting me out of game, too!

Eek, I hope the changes don't go live on Tuesday!!

Monday last week I bought a few more supplies to make armour there and then.
Computer crashed and wouldn't turn back on!!

Thought it was a hard drive issue, seems it's more likely a motherboard issue. Downside is that I'm stuck using my old computer that can no longer run EQ because the graphics card is too ancient

Wouldn't bother me too much if I knew that I'd get the better one back before the changes!

[KyrosKrane]

And they are still in a spreadsheet and not in data... so if they somehow go live, grimlings exist!

*gets an evil grin on his face*

Um, Ngreth? ... grimlings do exist. Just visit Hollowshade Moor or Acrylia caverns, among other places.

Guess this means I should use up all my stuff by Tuesday, yipes!

*flees from the house ogre's wrath*

[Unapuma]

So maybe mid June then?

[KyrosKrane]

Ngreth posted on the EQLive forums that they are waiting for one more code change, and they don't plan on the changes going out with the patch on the 16th.

[Ozadar]

Code changes and a new update possible on 16 May. Could that be patch to change the recipes?

Where do you get level 80 in November??

It was announced today on EQ Players website. The new expansion in Nov will raise the level cap to 80.

[Ngreth Thergn]

So since we did announce the expansion today...

Yes, I do plan on a level 80 set of cultural for the expansion. I am not waiting for the expansion for the fixes to the existing cultural. (I am waiting on a code change)

Where do you get level 80 in November??

[Eleena Transient]

With level 80 coming in November, I guess we'll be making use of the next level of cultural sooner than expected
