Patch note April 18 2007 (TS related)

[Unapuma]

*** Tradeskills ***

- Added tradeskill flag to dye extracts.
- Cultural Items have had a name update.
- Created new colored Trader's Satchels for use in the bazaar. Brown handmade backpacks were also snuck in.
- Changed the icons for cut gems used in jewelry making. Additionally, changes to the icons for inks and some of the thickeners for spell research were made.
- Added the note "Of Colors to Carry" to Merchant Tekrama. This note is the riddle for making colored hand made backpacks.
- Non-gnomes will now need to use a gnomish recharging kit in order to recharge gnomish devices. Gnomes will be able to make collapsible and deluxe gnomish recharging kits as well.

*** Zones ***

- Unrest and Lesser Faydark have had a recent bloom of mushrooms!

*** Future Tradeskill Changes ***

We will be making a change to the cultural armor that will nullify the usage of all existing drops in the cultural armor and symbol crafting process. For the slot 12 raid augments, only the drops for the seals will be changing, the rest of the drops required for the various steps of the slot 12 raid augments will be staying the same. Those of you who have stockpiles will want to make use of them as best and quickly as possible, as once the changes go in, the currently existing cultural recipes will no longer work. This change will even out the disparity of drop rates between different races and remove the extreme rarity of some items.

For more detailed information please see the "Upcoming Cultural Changes" sticky thread in the Artisans Way forum of the official EverQuest forums.

I spent a lot of time getting the spawn timer in Lfay nailed and now it's been changed? If I were to try and pin the new timer, I'd bet SOE would change it again =P

[Verdandi]

Might you mean April 18, rather than April 10? We can fix that title for ya, but I don't like doing that without express permission.

Good stuff, there!

[Unapuma]

Yeah it should have been 18th not 10th. So please fix it before someone else gets confused and ignore this one as old

[Rawckett]

From "recent bloom of mushrooms", I would think that there are more locations for mushrooms, as apposed to the respawn timers changing.

[Artemisia]

Yes!

And see the price of yellow backpacks plunge!

*hated the fact some charged 5K for yellow backpacks on my server

I don't *think* I touched the spawn timer on the existing ones... (I may have but I think not)

The new ones, I did put their spawn timers in mind of stopping players from "owning" all the spawns. They are "static" spawn timers, but when I set it I used excel's ran() function and made it random between 25 and 35 minutes... so each individual shroom will have a different timer. I MAY have done this to the existing ones, but I do not believe I did. I Believe the existing ones are just as static as they used to be.

And I think I added at least 20 to lfay and 10 or more to unrest I did not even pay much attention to how much I added, I just started adding

In Lfay folks should look in more areas than just the fairy ring

Does any one know if the colored traders bags are vendor bought or player made yet? I have been looking but since I am techniquely asleep unable to find anything about them.

Where is Caerlenya?

Where is Caerlenya?

Caerlenya is the barbarian chick in the merchants hub of the baz who exchanges tokens for bags.

Since the servers are still offline for patches, no one knows yet about the new colored bags. But I do have my suspicion about the brown bag.

The crushed windstone is supposed to be fixed with this patch, use regular mixing bowl instead of motar and pestile. A lot of recipes that used M&P for non rogue were changed to mixing bowls I have about 60 windstones that needs to be crushed. (memo: suggestion for a tinkered device that can do mass crush windstones. Probably not much demand but would be useful to whoever needs)

As for the new ground spawns, are the location static? ie same place? Or are they random everywhere?
