2nd AG earring?

[mewkus]

I am currently trying to get to the point where I can start on the AG earring and it seems as though getting qualified for it (tradeskills & flags) is the hardest part. At least it seems the hardest part since that's what I've been working on so hard for and still haven't gotten there yet. Once you have all the flags and skills needed, is it worth it to spend the extra effort to make a second one soas to have both Marked Runed Signet (from baking pt 7) and Signet of Might/Arcane (from final part)? Or does all the farming that's required to actually make the earring make it not really worth it? MRS would probably be replacing my old Solstice Earring so that stat would still be a good upgrade for me (if it doesn't require months and months of farming).

Has anyone heard (even if rumor) of a way to get both Signet of Might and Signet of the Arcane? I made a toon on FV server and have seen both of these for sale in bazaar, so I know that on FV it can be done, but what about other servers?

i would say no on any other server. Grimel gives you an earing depending on your class.... if you try for a 2nd one he would try to give you another for your class and it would poof (Lore).

OK he's not talking about two of the SAME earring, he's talking about getting the very last one and then redoing the whole quest to the second-to-last one, which avoids the LORE problem.

On Firiona Vie, the earrings are tradable. So, you can buy the Signet of Might or Signet of the Arcane. More likely, two questers of different classes would each complete the quest all the way (getting one each of the Might and Arcane earrings), swap them with the other person, then do the quest again. Result: one each Signet of the Arcane and Signet of Might on the same character.

This cannot be done on other servers since the Signets are not tradable.

There is no known way for one class to get both Signets from the quest other than on FV. What most people will do is get their Signet of Might or Arcane, then do the quest up to the Marked Runed Signet and keep that.

Thanks for your 'very' constrctive critisism of my post JMorgana....

Maybe you should re-read the first post and pay attention this time.
I have picked out part of it just in case you miss it a 2nd time....

Actually, my plan is to try to get both the final and 2nd to last earring. I was also asking (the I want my cake and eat it too question) if anyone's heard of a way to get both of the final earrings (apart from the FV server). It appears, as I suspected, that there isn't a way to get both.

But the main part of my question was how hard is it to do the component farming part of the quest (since the flagging and skill level part would already have been done in order to get the first earring)?

[Pootle]

I couldnt say how hard it is as i have only done up to part 4.

These 4 steps were ok, i didnt find them too hard..... but i think the hardest is to come..... tailoring and fletching parts.

I read in another post by Maddoc (http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/showthread.php?p=122465) that with the upcomming patch that there will be a way to switch between the two earrings, but not a way to have both. So, I guess that's the definative word on it. But who knows, maybe we can change their minds.

[Pootle]

I think a LOT of people have replyed to that post saying that having both Final earings should be allowed.

I am happy with the 2 I have now. I like the regen *shrug*

[Maddoc-the-Wayfarer]

They should probably have instant cast Deathtouch and 10000 hp/tick regen too, but none of those are likely to happen.

Ooooo Sassy!

I shall consider myself 'told'

Some ideas I was thinking about:

1. Have a long, tortuous quest that results in an earring with the same stats as the Arcane/Might Signets, but with combined effects: FT3, PoX, 8% dodge, 30 ATK, 3 regen.

2. Do a little outdoors adventure where you spawn Aid Grimel with one earring and kill him to loot the other, this makes you KOS to him and his pal so you can't do any more earrings.

3. Just let us get both earrings, we've suffered enough.

Nice complete dismissal of a valid point of discussion by using hypebole.

YOU have become better at trolling (221)!

Its not a big deal. Which is the entire point. If you are going to allow them to be switched between earrings, the idea of actively preventing people from getting both means you consider it a balance issue, which the facts show as completely ridiculous as:

1) There is a server where people can have both already
2) The stat difference is relatively minor between them (with being able to have both effects the biggest bonus to those that can do both, and gives people that have placed an augment in their's more reason to dissolve that augment to get an earring they would rather have overall)

No one can force you to discuss anything with the players, and its you're perogative to simply stats "this is the way it will be, because we say so". You don't have to bother reading threads where people talk about it.

But being insulting and dismissive and using tired old troll tactics like hyperbole in order to create a strawman to dismiss, just makes you seem like a jackass.

Valid to some but not to all. I agree with Maddoc. There is just no making some people happy, some people will always demand more.
