  • Jewelry Molds Poofing On Fizzle. Working as intended?

    I have been enjoying finding out some of the new items that result from the POR jewelry and have made quite a few Pear Cut Prestidigitase Palladium Rings for folks since they became available.

    One thing I noticed and was not sure if it was a bug or working as intended. While preparing the Palladium I fizzled one combine. The Palladium was destroyed but so was the Pear Cut Mold. Was the mold also supposed to fizzle? In general the mold is always recovered on succssful cuts so I was not sure if the destroyed mold was meant to be an unintended side effect of the fail or it was intentional.

    Yes.

    That was a specific decision. When you "made the mistake" (I.E. you "fizzled"), you "cracked" the mold, making it also useless

    So these molds are re-usable, until you "make a mistake".

      Thanks Ngreth. That was both the answer I was expecting and a good explanation as to why. At least they stack and are cheap enough to not be a hardship when you blow through a few.

        On that note, I was doing a final ring combine (already-cut stone and already-prepared mount). I failed the combine and got my cut prestidigitase back. It wasn't a salvage, it was an "alternate product." Just to make sure, has anyone else noticed this, or was this a bug? The product was a square cut prestidigitase palladium ring; I've already updated this in our DB.

          I believe I remember reading elsewhere that that's intentional for it to return the cut gem on a failed mount. You're not actually harming the gem trying to put it in the metal, just making the metal unusable.

            Exactly.

            I made the cut hard enough that I did not feel he need to then ruin the gem when you try and stick it in the mount... now ruining the mount is a different matter entirely...
