Upcoming Cultural Changes - Next Full Patch (Estimated End of September)

[Heartz]

Is the new higher Tier only going live with SoF release or did I miss it somewhere last night?

Yes.

[Ngreth Thergn]

So I'm a Dwarven smith 300 with the GM quest completed and the highest book I could buy was XI which apparently makes the elaborate level armor (previously known as GM level). Is the new higher Tier only going live with SoF release or did I miss it somewhere last night?

As Heartz said less precisely... It is coming with SoF. Part of the reason is... it is level 80 armor... and well, no-one can be level 80 until SoF.

[Maevenniia]

Yes, level 80 stuff is only being released with SoF

[Elfdruidess]

There are currently 11 tiers... there will be 13 when SoF comes out. 12 and 13 are over 300 skill though, so only useful for the cultural that is coming out with SoF.

Does that mean only Tier 13 can make Cultural Armor (for lvl 80)? And Tier 12 can only make Template? So that Tier 12 becomes a skillup path when skill cap is rasied to 400 skill (whenever that's gonna happen)?

Or, Tier 12 is for lvl 80 armor and Tier 13 is for future use?
Or, Tier 12 is for lvl 75 armor and Tier 13 is for lvl 80 armor?

nice job on the new tradeskill system. i think its very well made and refreshing. actually on par with other games out there and not so "farming" intensive that it burns you out.

I'm not happy that I can't purchase the recipes for Elaborate armour with a base skill of 254 (+15% mod & smithing3 AA) despite the fact I've been making it for a year now.

Hrm. Hopefully the materials for the level 80 armor will also be global drops when they come out (from appropriate level mobs, of course) - not just in SOF zones.

Heck, I only started exping in TBS last month.

Couldn't have made that much of it if your base skill is only 254 after a year.

[Grizlycub]

Does anyone know how to get the receipes to see what you need. I bought and scribed the begining and level XI but don't see any new receipes. or are they named the same? Do i need to buy and scribe them all?

[shadyn]

Ngreth, are the skill caps going up in SoF?

I've made a couple suits total (myself + friends + odd piece to sell), I've never had a skillup on a GM combine.

Ya, the RNG can be a pain even with the bonus. Rish did 11 combines before the patch, no skillups.

At least for now.

I do not plan it. It will only happen if Maddoc surprises me.

Ok, so if the skill caps get raised it is Maddoc's fault.
