new thread name?

Ngreth mentioned 4am, which is in about 15 hours from now.

His post was from 3 days ago so if he meant 4am that day, then the window was passed...I was not aware of any hotfix schedule...I dint think zone hotfix dates were announced the way normal data patches are. I will check again tomorrow morning though to see if goes in overnight.

Whoa. OK, that's weird. I could have sworn I saw his post dated today when I last checked the thread.

*bonks the silly paladin on the head* Look closer next time!

2100 gives you the in-game title of Master Artisan.

Adding research, alchemy, poison making, or tinkering doesn't give you any additional, all-inclusive title. Foraging and fishing can be "maxed" for your class or character but doesn't change the title.

Has the master researcher trophy quest been changed to allow for non-casters to obtain the trophy? I'm guessing not. I don't think additional research AAs have been offered to the melee or hybrid researcher.

My best suggestion on this as research still isn't really a tradeskill that truly includes all classes for the max possible benefit... is to add yourself to the 300 Researchers Sound Off Here thread in the Research section on the boards.

That, or make a melee research or hybrid research skill thread in the Research section - which actually makes the most sense to me and can be done by the melee or hybrid researcher first to hit 300.

It would be physically possible to add a symbol of some kind by names listed on the 2100 club, but if we do that, then to be fair we should allow a symbol for tinkering, poison-making, alchemy, fishing or foraging as well. And indicators for max trophies as well. And indicators for max AAs. And what of the many players who have more than one char maxed in order to max all possible tradeskills? The "add to" list could go on and on...

I think the best idea is to let the tradeskills that garner you the title of Master Artisan continue to be the main "club", and the additional skills be acknowledged in each specific tradeskill section. But if everyone is really insistent, I can come up with a list of symbols we could add to everyone's name on the list. I just am not sure it makes that much sense to do so. The list could get a little unwieldy, and there is the already is the option of the skill-specific thread in each of the tradeskill sections on the board.

I have considered adding a special symbol indicator for people with max trophies in all seven major tradeskills. That really would be the only add-on of significant value I could see to the list, as it indicates a higher level of success with the seven Master Artisan tradeskills.

I think that is a good point. Since the AA required for priests/hybrids for research are just to get to 300, there is no mastery aa. I think a 300 spell research thread and a 300 tome research thread in the Research section would be better.

As far as the trophy, Ngreth mentioned he will work on creating a new set of tasks for priest, hybrid, and melee researchers to be able to earn the trophy at higher levels than 50-99 skill range but it wasn't in yet. Also that the trophy would be changed to all classes and not just pure casters.

Unfortunately I have no control over the hotfixes... I do not know why PoK has not been updated :/
