Grrr, SMALL Acrylia Chain Sleeves

[Quesci]

Just spent a couple of hours farming windstones and other stuff for the three acrylia piece for the Expert smith trophy. Stupid me, I didn't notice that the sleeves I needed to make were SMALL Acrylia Chain Sleeves and needed a SMALL chainmail sleeve pattern.

Fudge.

Anyway, just wanted to warn people that regular sleeves don't satisfy the requirement

[Melenden]

I did the same thing.

Go go reading comprehension.

[Flehmen]

Ohhhh, thanks for the warning. I'm make sure to doublecheck all my combines for the trophy from now on....

[cattywumpus]

If you think that's bad I kept making the wrong sub-combines on the Pale Velium Long Sword. Then after getting it all right I failed the combine!

Blew over 5 kpp on stupidity and then another 5 kpp on bad luck before I got it right.

Make sure you get all the right molds and ore/gems combined properly on the GoD combines. That one hurts.

[Grolyn]

Ouch I made the same mistake. I failed to notice the difference between velium and pale velium of the otherwise same name and made the wrong one.

[Estebar]

Yeah, made a large chain mail instead of a large chain mantle. Had to go out and buy another windstone and essence of wind.

Sounds like it is a good lesson to learn with quests. I'm sure I've learned that lesson three or four times over in my EQ life, and I still do it.

The good news is that the new Expert trophy quest removed the pale velium longsword and the velium gemmed stiletto. A second acrylia BP is a strange replacement (making one regular and one small seems kind of redundant but is a welcome change). The other added item is a magnetic bracer -- easy enough, but I just made one yesterday! I hadn't even sold it yet. So I had to go out and buy another cracked bracer. Again, LOTS better than a velium gemmed stiletto, but frustrating.

There just was not enough recipies in the correct trivial range

Sounds like something to work on for the next expansion N. <wink wink, nudge nudge>

[Zacatac]

I did the same thing.

Same here.

Hope you don't think I was complaining, big guy. I got my trophy the same day, so I was very happy.

Now I just need to find an alchemist for my bola for tailoring and I am done with all trophies.

Also be sure to check for ALL types of subcombines or FINAL products on the subcombines for a recipe.

I've been trying to get a Chunk Of Broken Taelosian Stone Worker to make the ceramic bola weight for Concussive Bola to finish my Expert Tailoring trophy for over a week - no luck in bazaar or getting to drop. One shows up in /bazaar for 2k so I ran and bought it as I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Tad bit frustrated when a few minutes later I checked and somebody was selling a FINISHED bola weight for 2pp! At that point had to make it myself from scratch since paid the 2k for the chunk, at which time I noticed the pottery recipe makes 3 so the 2pp person was obviously successful on first combine!

DUH! Hindsight is 20/20.

I made a Pale Velium Mace for my trophie and was wondering why i didnt get the yellow 'your task is updated message'..... turns out i needed a Pale PLATINUM Mace.... aaargh!

My own stupid fault.

[Quesci]

Eek! That's the worst yet.
