Does anyone have the recipe book from ally Crystallos faction?

[Taadieri]

If so, could you post the text here? Please?

Assuming the fix Ngreth put in last week went live with the expansion patch.

Seal of the Elements

The elemetnal essences found within Crystallos seem to have great power. Normally only items of the greatest power can make seals that will work with the culturally inspired armor; nevertheless, the elemental essences can make a seal that will work in the culturally inspired armor. The seals do not have anything close to the power that the normal seals have, but they will enhance the armor.

First, you will need to make a seal mount. You will make this in a forge and it will require great skill. I have magically enchanted this book so that it will not catch on fire, even in the hottest kiln, but it also makes it such that you cannot remove the last page of the book that has the pattern in it. Because of this, you will need to place th ebook in the forge and ten arrange tantalum ore and two platinum bars into the pattern. Just carefully move it around with your tools as it melts. Once you have melted and arranged the metals in the forge, you will quench it first in faycite water and then a vial of purified mana.

Once you have an elemental seal mount, it is a very simple matter to mount an essence. Simply place the essence in the seal mount and shock it in a forge. This simple action will cause the mount to bond with the seal. You can also recover both parts simply by shocking the assembled seal in a forge.

Thanks Aldier.

Now we just need to wait for someone with cultural armor, smithing skill, ally faction and an essence to make one.

And hope the end result is worthwhile.

I assume these are attuneable? Not that the person with the cultural armor has to be the one with high smithing skill to make them for self-use? I know the essences are no-drop.

[Ngreth Thergn]

I forget. They should be no-drop though.

Can get someone skilled to make the seal. The resultant slot 12 item should be No Drop, and will be if it is not.

Do remember... this is just to catchup T3 GROUP cultural armor with T4 GROUP armor... not make you raid armor.

[Aldier]

The real question though, is will these have any kind of focus effect?

[falcoor]

total crap

Aug is Slot 11

Req 70 Rec 74

7 ac 105 hp 65 mana 2 to stats

total let down I'll keep my sublime ... thanks

[Twistagain]

I'm sure that's just a typo. It should be type 12...surely.

Edit: I typo'd "typo".

[MareeTP]

I imagine they are slot 12.

I wasnt looking to work on these for raid armor for people - I make the AOAAs and mechos for the faycite drops we get on raids if people want them.

Edit - oh I see. The tradeskilled part is the elemental seal mount you place in the forge with your essence.

Thank you for this. Will work well for the slot 12 cultural armor on chars without access to the Last Bloods etc.

[Aldier]

It sounds like there may be a bug with these creating type 11 augments instead of type 12. Also, I am curious as to how the slot is designated or are these generic visible armor slot augs?

If there is a slot specification, then it would be nice to have an appropriate focus effect for that slot. If there is no slot designation and these have no focus effect, then for all intents and purposes they are useless.

[Ngreth Thergn]

yeah. if it is creating 11's that is a bug. These are meant to be 12's

[Ngreth Thergn]

Yup Bugged. Fixed, but needs the data patch. There is one expected for next week.

[jacknut]

who do you get this book from?

[Sorkin]

Hrmm, sounds like you can't add mechanoinstructions to get a focus? Those stats still keep it quite a bit below Crys gear when you figure in the group powersources and slot 15. I don't see why we couldn't trade the diminished hp/mana for a focus of our choice. Or bump up the hp/mana and take the next level down focus (go from level 3 or whatever that's in Crys to level 2). Seems like it would be doable.

Doable, but not the plan on these.

This is an alternative to the crysatlos armor, not a replacement for it. The preference is still that you use the "drop" crystalos armor. This is so you can "fill" a spot while you wait for another drop you might not have to fill a spot in your armor.
