Upcoming Cultural Changes

[Wyvernwill]

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.

[Ozadar]

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

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.

[Ngreth Thergn]

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

[Unapuma]

So maybe mid June then?

*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!

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!

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!

[KyrosKrane]

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

[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.

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

[Gaell Stormracer]

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

AUGH!

transfer to Quellious and give them to meeeeeee!

[JonzeGirl]

Heck - come to 7th, I only want/need two!!! Have a fully made Bazu Seal of Magic and no cultural to put it in /cry.

The way the prices on are 7th I would end up paying more for the silk (110,000pp for 1 swatch last night in baz) to make the cultural than I spent to make the AAAA.....

The fourth change that we’ll be making is to change the cultural armor recipes to use the above-mentioned templates in the process of crafting the base cultural armor piece. The cultural armor will still require the quested books, as their patterns are what you will use to apply the culturally specific designs to the armor.

I am sure I am not alone in having a bank full of no drop quest, keys and tradeskill items.

Having to store armour patterns and the different level charm patterns seems unnecessary to me, when you could you change the recipes so that the books are used in making the new designs, instead of the patterns.

I believe you can still include the chance for the books to be destroyed or destroyed after a number of uses and this would help a number of us tremendously.
