Pottery Wish list...

[Strokker]

I wish they would allow us to make Ceramic Armor that we could embue with gems for all sorts of powers and possibly even have a bounce back ability to reflect spells back at their users. With possibly 4 or more aug slots.

[Ngreth Thergn]

4 aug slots... No way that will be happening in the near future.

[Buns]

Cultural items for those slots not currently used by smithing and tailoring would be nice. Pottered bracelets, necklaces, earing and range idols?? Possibly JC cultural on same spots but they got far too much already and with mastery declared for chanties only.... would be nice to see potters get another wrung up the ladder to equal trade values.

Not a bad idea. I was with you up until you wanted 4 aug slots (or more?!?)

I would like to see pottery get an improved use again to make it worth the time/effort to skill up and have something worth making. All the others have combines over 300 that are useful to a lot of people and can generate some platinum if you choose to sell them in the bazaar whether it is KCs or JoQs, MTPs, M/GM DoN armor, it would be nice to see.

Perhaps porcelain can be discovered in the next expansion and a large assortment of sizes/qualities/uses can come from that.

Ceramic based armor would be a nice alternative from the old smithing and tailored armor. Only problem is unless you know how to make clay flexiable after it's fired, silk and leather probably can't use. You could probably make a version for chain class by making a bunch of clay rings.

And forget 4 slots that is asking too much. 2 slots should be the limit unless you were thinking of making ceramic armor trival in the 500 range.

And the drops are 1 in 100 off of 7 day spawns...

or 1 in 10000 on uncommon spawns...

[Lillanu]

It's hard to imagine your clay armor not breaking when Hatchet breaks you in half with his Hatchet.... Well, It's hard not imagining plate armor breaking too.. but... it's harder not imagining it with clay armor!

So you're saying it is possible.......

[Grolyn]

Well, he did get Bristlebane's challenge an originaly it called for nest dragon meat which was probably a 1 in 10000

No sorry... will not be happening in anything aproaching the near future.

One rarely knows what will be happening in the far future.

Suggestion:

Make 1 use clickies with stuff that is desirable. Similar to potions but make it too expensive to buy or ingredients too rare to make in quantity. For instance, you could make a 75% rez clicky (there really aren’t ever enough clerics around), evac clicky, port to anywhere port classes can port to clicky (something from the target zone as an ingredient to make it), coth clicky, a FIXED invis clicky, a DA clicky, stuff like that. If the numbers of these items were controlled they would not unbalance things. None of this should require raid drops. Just expensive vendor bought items and/or fairly rare to extremely rare drops (depending on effect, port = fairly rare, rez = extremely rare) in regular (non-keyed) xp zones, so everyone has access to them.

Now I know that people would fuss about having their abilities farmed out. But every class has had that happen to some degree. I know my class (Ranger) has had all their “niches” farmed out and we have survived.

Anyways, this would definitely make pottery items desirable =)

[Maevenniia]

there are quite enought ways to port, including the cleric/shammy pottery made items, leave what few ports wizzies and druids have that havent already been given to all and sundry, alone, TYVM

I'd prefer to be able to improve upon the existing ceramic focus items to bump them up in focus effect levels (newe glaze/friring that increases the power from IV to V or VI), and get a few new recipes too

Whats wrong with 4 aug slots?

Slot 1, type 1 :
Slot 2, type 1 :
Slot 3, type 1 :
Slot 4, type 7 :

Admittedly, one would have to delve back into LDoN to put much of anything in those (especially if major quested augs such as BiC get changed from any slot to 7, 8 ...) but it is still a way to get many aug slots into a piece of gear ...

Then again, here's something I've been wondering. Whatever happened to slot 10?

LDoN introduced aug slots, and it brought types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. DoN cultural brought about slot 9, 11, 12. DoD added the "for convenience only" slot 30 - "for convenience only" because that was apparently the best way that they could improve the 2.0 without making a whole new weapon. Whatever happened to type 10?

Oh, if anyone's been paying attention, any slot augs effectively were the type 1 augs. Whether thats the programming reality or just something that to the outside observer (that would be me) appears to be the case is not something I can answer, but seeing as how any slot augs are the only ones that can fit into type 1, it makes sense.
