HoC Time Again - Wednesday Sept 19.

[Nolrog]

It's that time again. HoC chat this coming Wednesday. If you have any Tradeskill Questions, then let me know. As always, please post them in a concise, polite format, so I don't have to do a lot of rework to get them through the HoC QTs.

I won't be taking anything non-TS related (once again, you can thank certan people for this, because of the stink they created last time I tried.)


I'd put something in here about Ngreth not peeking, but he never listens anyway.

I don't mind not having anything to do at the chat...

It was already addressed in the pottery forum kind of but i'll post it here.
Would it be possible to change requirements for apprentice pottery trophy by taking out the Ceramic Bola Weights and in its place using either Blue Diamond Powder, or use Small Protection Deity and change the recipe for it to use a dropped gem such as Black Pearl instead of Carnelian. The reason being that the component that is dropped and used to make the bola weights is out of line with the rest of the apprentice quest, and makes the next level up trophy easier to do.

Is it possible to create greater variation in the Cultural Augs based upon the deity? Some slight variation or advantage in different areas based on the god? (Attack for Rallos Zek, for example) It seems that having them specific to a god serves only to limit their marketability if they are otherwise identical.

Are there going to be better tradeskillable weapons? While culural armor with (with raid augs) make some of the best in the game, weapons seem woefully behind (or in some cases limited to the wrong level...see Velium Gemmed stuff).

Should have closed the thread then.

Now that the cultural recipes have been reworked, the trivials have all been adjusted for Smithing and Tailoring and a new set of recipes have been introduced to a reworked Jewelcraft....when can we expect Poison Making to get the Ogre Treatment?

[Posatrocible]

Disclaimer: please ignore this question if you think it has already been flogged to death.

Any more hints or tidbits about the multi-tradeskill quest(s) planned for the next expansion that were mentioned in previous HoC chats?

[Mukkle]

Being very happy with the new zones for cultural armor drops/quests ... is this something we are going to see become a standard for this type? I understand the need for raid/instance drops in some cases, just not when the item is race/diety restricted.

We don't answer When questions.

It is "When I can"

I completely understand the "no-exact-timetables" thing. My question is, are there now or will there likely be eventually plans to add a better path to maxxing fletching for those of us who don't happen to be wood elves or karana worshippers? With Sunshard Ore at 1.7k per on my server, it's nowhere near viable, so I've been doing a mix of PoR bows and picking up the occasional Bazu Bone for those bows. I'm not opposed to requiring drops for high level combines, but people blessed with a cultural path max fletching and their trophy in a few days, while I've been at it for weeks, with 7 skillups and 1000 combines for GM trophy yet to go. I'm just wondering if that is functioning as intended, or if the powers that be have considered the possibility of balancing that out a bit?

I thought you didn't answer them.

[Maevenniia]

Nolrog, keep teasing the Ogre and more than just your questions may end up on the table ....

[Aldier]

With the new revamp coming to Jewelrycraft, will there be any recipes that result in stats on the item that do not require first enchanting the metal? Some of the recipes with dropped gems perhaps?

I will get the "when's" over now.

Fletching is one that I plan on a full revamp.

Poison Making has higher priority in my opinion though, it is in MUCH more dire straights than fletching. We will see what my bosses say when the next scheduling time comes.

When do you think that will be?
