WARNING - SoF jewelry gems now attunable

[greblhad]

Apparently when you put the gem into the jewelry piece it becomes attuneable, there is NO warning message. This even affects store bought gems.

This means if you are still learning what gem does what you're permantly stuck with your experiments.

Oh great, I knew they had made them attunable but I thought they were attuned when you put them on not soon as you installed the gem, so I now have about 50 pieces of jewlery worth a million plat attuned to my enchanter who I dont even play except to craft. if I understand this correctly.
(At work atm so can't log in to see)

This kills any type of real customer service with SoF jewelry - here take all these pieces and assemble them yourself - not nice.

I also have a dwerium taafiette piece made for a SK on my chanter. This attunable thing is bad bad news for those of us trying to get it out to the general population.

Yeah I don't get it, like I said in another post...I made a stack of the Amber, Indigo, Crimson and Shimmering Nihilites....Put one of each in rings, and put them on...got no "Do you want to attune this" message. Took them off and went to put them into my shared bank...The Crimson and Shimmering Nihilite augs I was able to put into the shared bank and they still said attuneable, but the Amber and Indigo ones said Attuned, No Trade THE WHOLE STACK! Servers are coming down right now, hopefully these will get fixed in the patch.

Some of the new Omens of War items will now display an "Attunable" attribute, which means that they can be traded freely until they are equipped or augmented. Attunable augments will become no-drop flagged when added to an augment slot, attunable items will become no-drop when equipped. You will not be able to auto-equip an attunable item that has not been attuned to your character. Please be mindful of the new Attunable flag before equipping or augmenting new items.

People often forget the actual definition of attuneable and just use the item definition.

That I understand fully, makes sense, however the Indigo and Ambers should not be no trade upon creation...that is the bug.

What you posted Bobaten, is all fine well and good. Thank you Sony for letting us know. The issue is that with the recent changes to jewelry, you can not see the stats that are associated with the gems. So people do NOT know exactly what they have created. I, personally, would not risk buying something from someone, just going off what they tell me. And I certainly don't expect anyone to buy something from me, without knowing what exactly they are buying.

I'm just starting to work on my JC'ing again and advance it past 200. I'm currently up to 213. I created 3 new Velium pieces for some guildies lowbie alts today, and made the mistake of equipping them to tell them the stats. Needless to say I was not happy to find that I could not give them the items I had just created. There goes roughly 300p per piece, down the drain. And yes I know 300p is not much, but it all adds up.

[Bobaten]

Yeah you posted yours while I was searching for the quote for mine .
I have seen that come up before with stackable potions losing charges. Basically stackable items lose their individuality. When you added your one attuned nihilite to a stack of un attuned, it attuned the stacks.

Servers are coming down right now, hopefully these will get fixed in the patch.

Unfortunately it may not be the case. Server were coming down because a lot of players were experiencing a frequent and random crash every few minutes caused by bad spell data. There's a thread on this on EQ Live and a dev confirmed the cause.

I'd like to see the attunable tags removed until they can fix the stats display issue. So people would know what they are getting before they insert and equip them. And a couple traders had ready made Dwerium rings and earring with taaffeite augs inserted. Now they cant sell em, a big loss for them.

Yeah guess you're right cause they're still not fixed. And I guess as far as the attuned aug going into the stack and attuning the rest, I just need to not auto inventory!

[Bobaten]

It's worth noting that if you augged something before they became attuneable, its still tradeable. Not sure what will happen once the augs are removed though.

[Greylon]

Ah, that is a little better then as I said early at work so can't log in to check it atm, but if ones I have on seller are atleast still tradeable i can work around this. Still think its a bad idea before stats are visible but atleast I dont have a mule in 1 million plat worth the bling.

[kekenewah]

Why weren't these bugs tested and fixed during beta? You would think that when a major change like this goes live they would have at least tested it to make sure problems like this do not go live.

[Bobaten]

The selling bug was known in beta and they were working on it.
The shared bank bug probably never came up. The normal reason for putting this stuff in the shared bank is to transfer to a mule to sell, and there isn't any reason to do that on beta.

I tested one thing at a time.

1. Put tradeable Round Cut Jade into tradeable Solo Velium Bracelet. Did NOT equip it.
Result = No Trade Solo Velium Bracelet augmented w/ Round Cut Jade.

2. Remove augment w/ Small Gem Glue Solvent.
Result = Tradeable empty Solo Velium Bracelet and No Trade Attunable
Round Cut Jade.
This was without putting it on.

Decided not to try what happened if the bracelet was equiped.

Overview - augmenting the jewelry renders the gems no drop.

Notes:

1. When I augmented the bracelet it did ask if I was sure if I wanted to insert this augment. I clicked yes.

2. At no time did I wear the bracelet.

3. At no time was I asked if I wanted to "attune" the item.

4. Prior to SoF augments were no drop and attunable, but we could see their stats before we put them on.

5. Now these new jewelcraft gems are considered "augments" but we cannot see their stats unless they are worn.

6. This is all information or observation - no judgment. Just trying to find out how things work....
