The SOF Tradeskill Quest!

[Tobynn]

Open your jewelcraft bag and search by "eron." Recipe should be there.

Hmm...now that I think about it..the bard I pulled with might not have been lvl 80 at the time I did this quest.

Just checked the other night when I was there. At level 80, there are no red con mobs (other than a named or 2) in the crypt.

Since the LDoN AC augs had the type 3 removed from them, what about another small increase in AC? (5 more would be good, I'd think.) Or maybe somehow get Merloc to add type 3 back onto the LDoN AC augs (and slip a LORE tag onto them for good measure)?

As far as the click effects go on both, maybe consider changing to Primal Guard (5 hp regen and 5% overhaste; and I'd add a link but this is my first post) for melee, since it's uncommon and is added to tier 3 group content and has been around since PoP: Time; and maybe Maelin's Meditation (+400 to mana pool) for casters since, again, it's on tier 3 groupable loot, it's been around a long time (since at least Hulcror) and it stacks with the mana/hp regen clickies that everyone seems to have that are already better (Girdle of Efficiency comes to mind).

Although the final reward could benefit from a few small changes still, I would like to thank you for the thought and effort you put into the quest and the reward, Ngreth. Complex and well thought out quests definitely add a lot of interest to the game.

5 more ac would be awesome.

Or making a couple 5-10ac slot 3's along with the spell focus augs.

Or returning type 3 to the augs that it got swiped from (like the BiC).

I wouldn't mind the clickies being a bit more useful, but maybe lots of folks that get this don't have alternatives for those effects.

It's a very nice item. It's an awesome quest (though the end is a little off kilter imo)

Although there are alot of well show me an item with more ac than this that is groupable from the past expansion arguements... no one can really point out any item with 450+hme that is groupable from the past either; hme went up drastically with SoF. AC is still stagnating on everything but cultural, and folks are up in arms over that

And this is the expansion that heralds attack is raising and ac matters. Just sort of disappointing.

I got my last task finished today, and my final reward.

I would like to thank those who posted on the Fletching task, the only task I needed to get help with (I'm still cursing that book) the rest I figured out.

Thanks Ngreth for a great task arc, very interesting storyline.

Good Luck everyone else with these tasks, I feel I have accomplished something. I love getting a long task arc finished.

I'd LOVE to have BiC fit in type 3 again, but that's a different arguement for a different message board.

I'm mostly hoping that there will be type 3 augments in the works that will be useful to melee toons. The 8% to dodge aug is nice, but there's not much else... Maybe a few weak resist augs...

This is the recipe for the brewing step of erons jewelry
Combine 5 Bloodfang spider eggs in brew barrel to get:

Bloodfang Spider Albumen
No trade , quest
Class, race None.
Size Tiny, Weight 0.3
stackable.
trivial 100.

Combine the bloodfang spider aldumen with a Soda water, Vodka and Quinine to get

Eron's Bloodfang Nostrum
Class: all
Race : all
Size : Small
Weight: 0.7
This is a whistle wetter.
Trivial 400.

Btw bloodfang spider eggs drop from "a bloodfang spider" in bloodmoon keep.

For counting shadows at 5pm I placed box 1 (CE) from South, box 2 (Vodka) from West and box 3 (Juice) from East and attempted to open the East box and got eaten. Where did I screw up?

Thanks,

Miz

Several people have posted that they were able to use multiples of the same Gem Covered Box for Counting Shadows.

Were you able to combine the boxes, then farm the others at your liesure, or did you have to quickly get that last box and place and open them all within 20 minutes?

[mizoto]

My understanding was that you could do the gem covered combines at your leisure at the correct times, ie. CE at 12 am, Vodka anytime and Juice during the day. Where I may have gone wrong -- does the juice combine and the box placement all need to be done in the same 20 mins (game time)?

I did the Juice combine at 4pm in preperation for my 5pm placements. Next time I will be doing the juice combine in the same hour. Is there any restriction that the gem covered boxes all be combined within a certain time frame. I am a packrat and doing the combines as I get the gem covered boxes makes more sense for me.

I just finished the shadow counting a few days ago. I used the gem covered box from the named brownie in dragonscale hills for all 3 box combines. Did 1st combine, killed for 2nd box, did 2nd combine, etc. After 3rd combine I waited until 6am & quickly placed all 3 boxes, rechecked the time (still 6am) and opened center box. Succeeded and went on my way. Waited until 6am to do the box placing/opening because I was reading & rereading all the info trying to get the courage to actually do it.
