Possible new tinkering device

[lasertop]

In the last patch they changed the name of the Gnomish Vanishing device to the Half Charged Gnomish Vanishing device. Now why would they do this if not to have a upgrade to this?

Class 6 battery. Anyone want to try it? (I dont have one otherwise id try it)

Prolly had enough complaints that 5 charges wasnt enough.

[Eleena Transient]

Half Capacity GVD + Class 6 Battery = DNC

Might in fact need to make it with class 6, I'll try to scrounge up an eye

edit:

Old style gvd was: diamond, haze panther eye, small lantern, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, class 5 battery

The following all return DNC
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, small lantern, diamond, class 6 battery
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, small lantern, raw diamond, class 6 battery
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, small lantern, blue diamond, class 6 battery

haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, large lantern, diamond, class 6 battery
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, large lantern, raw diamond, class 6 battery
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, large lantern, blue diamond, class 6 battery

haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, flameless lantern, diamond, class 6 battery
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, flameless lantern, raw diamond, class 6 battery
haze panther eye, reflective shard, gnomish bolts, steel wire, flameless lantern, blue diamond, class 6 battery

Typical "half" baked concepts. Why couldnt they just make it charge to 10 with 2 class 5 batterys and charge to 5 with 1 class 5 battery? oh wait - thats logical.

[Eleena Transient]

Tried GVD + 2x class 5, DNC (figured it was worth a shot)

[Gello]

Perhaps an OoW component is needed, if this was intended for OoW release? Only dropped part is the haze panther eye.

Are there any eyes in OoW with a tradeskill tag and no discovered use? I see a couple of them are for poison making.

edit: checked bazaar and did a search for 'eye' and 'Combinable'. A Luminous Feran Eye popped up, no tradeskill tag but no known use.

These are all DNC as well:
luminous feran eye, reflective shard, diamond, small lantern, steel wire, gnomish bolts, mana battery class 5
luminous feran eye, reflective shard, blue diamond, small lantern, steel wire, gnomish bolts, mana battery class 5
luminous feran eye, reflective shard, diamond, small lantern, steel wire, gnomish bolts, mana battery class 6
luminous feran eye, reflective shard, blue diamond, small lantern, steel wire, gnomish bolts, mana battery class 6
luminous feran eye, reflective shard, diamond, large lantern, steel wire, gnomish bolts, mana battery class 5

Since Half Capacity Gnomish Vanishing Device is identified as being an Item used in Tradeskills, I would assume that you need to do the upgrade combine using that.

The old GVD was used to make the Cultural BP's, Assuming the newly named one has that same use.

[Tudani]

there's also the recharge recipe for it

[Gello]

I'm wondering if maybe two GVDs combined somehow?

[Pardick_KB]

I would be more willing to bet it is a new recipie and the new GVD has a fixed durration invis.

[Humlaor]

It might also be that since it has half the charges as the cultural armor, they just decided that it should be called "half charged."

Oh crud, just had a horrible thought. When they changed the name for GVD's to half charged, did they remember to change the recipe for gnome BP's? has anyone done one recently and confirm the recipe isn't broken?

Agree with the point that the tradeskill tag may only mean that it is used in the charging recipe. But I don't see why they would change the name just to reflect the difference between a GVD in the ammo slot and one mounted in a BP - doesn't make sense. Should be a reason for changing the name of the GVD and I'd agree that the most likely reason is to give us a clue to a more powerful GVD such as fixed duration invis that Pardick has suggested.

Doh - half way round the planet on a work trip when all the interesting things are happening in tinkering. (Why do Australians hate Barbie so much that they throw prawns on her all the time? Do they think the plastic toy will smell better if liberally splattered with crustaceans?)

Recipes seem to be stored using item ID numbers internally. Whenever things were renamed in the past (i.e. justice fruit pies) recipes depending on them didn't break.

The Throwing Knife Stamper is now tradeskill flagged as well. Redundant post, but I want to get everyone's attention, so hopefully we'll know what the upgraded version is soon. =D
