I'm back from FF, and have a few things to report.

I asked Ngreth about adding in a potion to cure curses. He said that's not very likely, because once he adds that in, curses become too easy to handle.

I asked about a group heal potion. And he said maybe, with about 3 minutes of disclaimers.

With regards to the skill cap increase. He said that it's not likely right now, because many of the skills will not have a path to the new cap. However, Maddoc has the final decision on this.

Jewelcrafters rejoice. The skill will be revamped in Secrets.

Ngreth was awesome as always (and kept running in to me near the elevators. I think he was following me or something ), and Denmom looked stunning in her green (it was green right?) bridesmaid gown (although, she didn't tailor it herself. Said the trivial was way to high for her or something like that.)

Unfortunately, my digital camera went pffzt on me before the FF, so I don't have any pictures to share. There are plenty around though.

That's about all I got. As many people noted, there aren't a lot of outstanding issues right now. However, if you do have any comments or concerns about the tradeskills, shoot me a PM and I'll try to get it asked during the next HoC chat.

Revamping jewelcraft...why? I haven't really done much JCing lately but I wasn't aware it needed any attention. I was kinda hoping Poisonmaking would be the next tradeskill on the revamp block (along with most Rogues I would wager).

I thought pottery was in some need. Jewelcraft revamp I can only hope means more frequent drops on items with trivials in the 300+ range. Currently if a cap increase were added; Prestidigitase, Harmonagate, and Taaffete would be the only real ways to raise it (after Gem Studded Chains trivial).

I'm thinking that all of jewelcraft will work the same way that the newer gems work now.

Insert disclaimer. This is just a guess on my part. Ngreth did not go into any details about what he plans for the JC update.

When I listed the "time needed" to do the tasks for the expansion, the people that make the schedules shoehorned jewelcraft in because I needed more time for poison making. (Poison making was on my first choice list, jewelry on my second choice list) In the end it was going to take too much time for this expansion. It will be at the top of my list when I submit for my schedule next time. It is ***possible*** but I really don't know for sure, that it may fit between expansions, but I have less feel for that.
