Magnetic Armor changed on Test

[splunge]

Theres been some changes to the recepies to Magnetic armor on Test Server.

Heres what shows up in my UI now for peices i already made.

Boots: 2 patch plates. 1 copper sheet (268)
Gloves: 2 patch plates. 1 copper sheet (268)
Vambraces: 2 patch plates. 1 copper sheet (268)
Helm: 3 patch plates. 2 copper sheets (275)
Pauldrons: 3 patch plates. 2 copper sheets (275) (melee only)
Leggings: 4 patch plates. 3 copper sheets (282)

Im assuming that the other items will folllow the same setup if they have the same trivial.
I havent made a BP, but since its trivial is the same as the leggings, i will assume the recepie is the same (4 patch plates, 3 copper sheets).

There will be much stomping of feet and gnashing of teeth, i know, but thats how it is now on Test.

Better use up what youve been saving before the next patch.

Hmm, does this mean there is no bolts or mold needed for these? Or even dropped armor? Can you be more specific please? Thanks.

Looks like the pattern is that an item will require as many patch plates to make as it yields bricks when broken down. This is a good idea. I make magnetic armour from pieces sold in The Bazaar, and it's too common by far.

[splunge]

*sigh* you still need the smithy hammer, bolts and damaged peice of armor. I just posted the changes to the number of patch plates and copper sheets you needed.

[Angelsyn]

Well, I'm extra-glad I'm getting out of the Magnetic Armour business now...

Prices have been going down the drain lately, so I got fed up and just put all I had on my trader. No more stockpiling and selling only 2 of each piece at a time.

[Boleslav]

Yeah, magnetic armor prices have been plummeting on my server too. Although I still pick up the odd broken piece that is priced right and fix it.

I think this will have a tendency to raise prices on the items that require more patch plates and to lower the prices of the parts that get broken down most of the time even further.

I can see the Leggings, BP, Vambraces, and Helm holding some value, while the rest settle down to a lower level or disappear from sale all together as the pricing model wouldn't work.

Also, give us the details on this melee-only Pauldrons when you get a chance.

Splunge, a question - right now the Magnetic Bracer doesn't require a patch plate, making it exceptionally cheap to produce. Does the Test bracer require one?

[splunge]

Dont have a bracer to test out and i dont have it in my UI. Cant tell ya, sorry.

[splunge]

Erm, well i take that back. I have a bracer on a mule..

The present known recepie does not combine. Ill see if i can figure it out...

[Delores Mulva]

Try one patch plate, in addition to the normal recipe requirements. The pattern seems to be that Item X needs as many patch plates to make as you'd get magnetic bricks if you broke Item X down, and bracers are one brick items.

[splunge]

Well i guess this will have to wait. I failed the brick->plate combine. O_O!

[Celestya]

*huggles* Thanks for warning us dear, and wading thru all these skills to find all the coming soon information for us. It really is appreciated.

No news in patch message

I expected to hear something about this in today's patch message. Was kinda surprised not to.

Seems like a big change to stealth patch, so I take the lack of message as meaning the changes weren't made. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I agree about the sneaky patch method on this change.

Also, I wanted to say I appreciated the warning because it prompted me to start making this stuff well before hitting 250 with geerlok (still 247 w/geerlok). I've blown up a bunch and lets just say I've made enough to skill up four times and made a bit of cash to boot.

Hopefully I'll never see the south end of Hollowshade again...

From my saved UI recipes:

Bracer is now 1 plate, 1 sheet
BP is now 4 plates, 3 sheets

just to verify.
