  • Recommended levels for jewels?

    I suspect that we'll be seeing a lot of requests after folks log in for the changes to the slot 11 gems. So here it is:

    What are the recommended levels for the gems and what does the decay look like (e.g. do you get 45/75 if you're a level 45 toon with taaf, or is it more severe than that)?

    re

    seems more severe, but somethign is broken.

    I wonder if it is using the level you were when you inserted the gem to base the stats on?

      You do not know something is broken. It could be intended to be a very severe drop in stats but it is something that I hope Ngreth looks at.

      It does not make any sense why it would look at the level when you crafted it. Take the item off, put it in the bank, gain a level, put it back on and it adjusts to your current level. That is how recommended levels work.

          61 SK looking at the "final" stats on my nihilite stuff - all rec level 65 now:

          Shimmering Nihilite (was 250) now 170 hp/mana/end
          Crimson Nihilite (was 375hp) now 270 hp

          Other gems I have equipped have no rec level (opal/emerald/peridot/fire emerald)

          EDIT - actually the opal has rec 40 and fire emerald is rec 50

            if we went by the traditional scale method, things would still be over powered according to sony by lv 20

            here is example:

            crimson nihilite, 10ac 375hp if on a dwerium item

            its now changed to recomended 65

            so, mathamaticaly
            lv 1 should = 5hp
            lv 10 should = 58hp
            lv 25 should = 144hp (now we getting over powered according to sony)
            lv 50 should = 288 hp

            (things got outa hand with this new jewelry stuff, seein lv 1 toons with 6k+ hp was crazy, heck, my lv 55 paly was upwards of 8khp / 1.5kac )

            they already have in place a system, with the metal / mounts, the metal already lowers the stats,

            pop in a
            required 50 / recomended 60 for palladium
            required 50 / recomended 75 for dwerium

              Less than 100 HP on a dwerium mount w/opal implies negative HP on the taaf for level 55. This appears to be actually an implementation error.

                has anyone taken a look at the different gems placed in the different levels of metal in comparison to recomended level / stats and placed them on lower level toons?

                im curious as to how the stats would be for say velium trio with opal/peridot/nihilite on a lower toon as well as palladium trio and gold trio
                (i dont have a chanter that can enchant metal else i would attempt myself)

                  How do recommended levels make Everquest healthier?

                  Why is it important for new players and characters below 75 to not have good stats?

                  Is it because the game was difficult in 1999 and it's "not fair" if players have it easier now?

                  I leveled a Berserker from 1 to 61 and 25 AAs before yesterdays changes. I spent time in more than 25 zones and I never, I repeat, never met anyone else levelling in those zones until I walked into Nobles Causeway.

                  Basically, there was nobody from level 1 to 61 that I was overpowering or stealing mobs and camps from because I had 6k HP and 200 in all saves.

                  I should point out I am not angry. I knew the changes would come so I just took full advantage of the situation.

                  I just don't get the reasoning behind it.

                  What do recommend levels do for the health of the game?

                    Because there is no reason for the game to be trivialized when you are at the level intend for a zone.

                      That is a very good question. Why does the gear not have 100hp 10ac minimum since the opal and peridot are rec 40. At 52 my gear with opal,emerald,taff is reading 87hp/mana/end with a whopping 1ac, while the gear with opal, emerald, harmon is reading 89hp/mana/end. They should be reading about 187 or 189 hp and 10ac. The gear is not reading the opal and emeralds it seems. Also not reading the 100 mana augs, as per the rec lvl on them.

                        When you put multiple augments into the same item. There is usually between the item, and 2-3 augments, going to be at least 1 recommended or required level. If a recommended level is 78 for an augment and you put it in an armor piece that is recommended 75, and you are level 75, you will NOT get full stats from the armor.

                        Recommended and required levels apply to the piece as a WHOLE.
