New Trade Skills!?!?

[Vetin]

From the pre-register for LDoN.

"o Collect explosive new spells, new trade skills, fearsome weapons, and other incredible loot!"

Something new? Sorry, THINGS new?

I feel for our hard working Den Mother! This lookes to be a huge change.

[Tinile]

I took this to mean, new recipes, not a new skill type.

[Krazick]

as Tinile states... they will most probably be adding in new recipes. Maybe fiddling with some existing ones... It is not likely (but not impossible) they would add a new tradeskill on top of the mix they already have.

hahahha, that's great! like Spirit of Ash, but with an item. expendable charges, or permanent item like a right click effect?


I WANT COFFEE!
buy Coffee Beans, grind 2 in a Mix Bowl to get Ground Coffee, brew with various Milk, Water, Sugar, Bottles/Shotglasses to get various Types of Coffee.

Frighteningly enough, there's a whole thing I wrote up about fake Coffee recipes..... somewhere on my harddrive at home..... oh, the things we do when bored. (smiley!)

[Pootle]

Yeah Coffee..... and the various coffee's give extra Haste bonus!!!!!!

Normal coffee adds 3% Haste.

all the way up to...

Tripple Expresso Shots --> 10% Haste.

If I remember correctly, the last few trade skill announcements were, "more such and such for trade skill." Not, "more trade skills."

On the other hand, they have poorly stated many things in the past. So it may just be a bad choice of shorthand.

That sure puts it in a grey area for me.

Saw on AllaKhazam's that they're giving a weight reducing bag with CD pre-orders, but also that there'll be some NPC who will be teaching us some magic or other to strengthen packs to make 10 slot Giant holding packs with a 50% WR. The 8 slot pack that will come with the pre-ordered CD's is a 25% WR and it'll only hold large. But given that bit about the magic of reinforcing packs, I'd dare say that tailored bags are liable to have some new recipes. It might also be nice to finally have a pottery recipe for ceramic shafts and bow staves. Also, since we have a recipe for steel arrow shafts, how about steel bow staves as well? Both ceramic and steel bows were mentioned in the bowyer book but neither have been in game. New brewing and baking recipes will be nice. Coffee needs coffee cake or donuts.

Just give me something to do with all those mangoes I forage in POG. A nice mango chutney perhaps?

[Slippyblade]

Androsulach, the thing about reinforcing bags to make them more WR is ONLY in regards to the bag that you get when you order LDoN. The bag you get starts off as 8 slot, Large, 25% and can be upgraded to 10 slot, Giant, 50%. It does not apply to any other bags in the game.

[Soulfiend]

So if you pre order you get basically a herbalists bag?

[Menious]

From what I read,

You only get the bag is you buy the cd's from retailers, not by pre-order, or downloadable from therm.

BTW, if you read the description during login of the new expansion it states new tradeskill RECIPES not new TRADESKILLS...just noticed that tonight.

Herbalist bag holds 6 items. A Shralok Pack holds 8 items and has 25% weight reduction.
