GM Level 7 Trophy Tinkers - Sound Off

[Ngreth Thergn]

I've noticed the following...

351+ trivial combines, it will take about 600 combines.

Low 300's trivials, it will take about 900 combines.

should not be that much of a difference.

if it is 600 @ 350 then exp is 210000

210000 / 300 = 700

(this is not to say it is the actual numbers... just that the difference between 350 and 300 is not that great.)

[Ysall]

Ow ow. Had expected tinkering to be in same league as tailoring, round 450. Now I see why noone has maxed trophy yet.

[Chakua]

Honestly, aside from bragging rights, I don't see much value in leveling them to 7/7. Is 336 REALLY that much different than 345?

[Wymp]

I agree. I doubt any of mine will see level 7, heh.

12% is fine with me.

[Kahmon]

Considering teh lack of 300+ trivial items, the tinkering trophy really should evolve faster then it does.

[Ysall]

Honestly, aside from bragging rights, I don't see much value in leveling them to 7/7. Is 336 REALLY that much different than 345?

For a 408 triv combine, its the difference between 81.5% and 90.5% chance of success. Thats worth having.

[Wymp]

Well, the main problem here is like Kahmon said ... lack of 300+ recipes to use to level the trophy.

There is no brut champagne- or misty thicket picnic-type item for us to make just for evolution.


The tinkering one, honestly, should require the least amount of combines to evolve, imo. It's bad enough we still don't have a mastery to help with the successes.

[Parthen Jalgraxa]

Thanks for the info Ngreth, interesting way to figure it out.

Frenzie

You have a couple misconceptions.
1. To make the master's armor, the only quest you have to do is the low level quest that requires turning in items from crushbone and Unrest. The higher level tasks are to make the symbols(which you cannot tinker anyhow).
2. The trophy will not evolve on non trivial combines. The check is against your skill, not the trophy level, so the bow cams won't help you.

ok Now that I have all the tinkerers worked into a frenzie...I did the low level quest that turned in items from crushbone. I go to the quest giver in AkAnon and he won't give me the quest for masters armor ..the only quest my level 16 300 tinker with master (level 6) trophy at 20% can get is the beginner Journyman quest ..to kill stuff in crushbone. I just wonder if its level restricted or do I need to progress through each quest? I wanted to jump to the Masters quest but it won't let a level 16 do this.

Meanwhile im collecting blue diamonds at the rate of 40 a day in bazaar off a mule to complete the GM trophy. I would rather do Yttrium ores for trivial 304 Breastplates for skill ups but its not possible at level 16.

Tinker

If you have eqplayers... I did a /eqplayersupdate when my tinker was logged in. My gnome wizard is named Eagles on Xegony server...not guilded. He is currently level 16, 300 Skill with level 6 trophy at 20 percent to level 7.

This is really a test character. To see what the skill up path is and how the quests and trophies path up for this.

I'm doing about 150 clockwork observer bracers (304 trivial) a week for skillups. Then I donate them to the guild for tribute at 3300 per item.

Note on /eqplayersupdate : It takes a long time for the server to update. Check back in a day.

[Bobaten]

Again, there is no such thing as a master's armor task.
There is only a master's symbol task.
To quest to make the armor is NOT a task, it's a quest to turn in 2 drops from crushbone, and two drops from unrest. The reward for this quest is Ancestral Gnomish Armor. The tasks rewards are Apprentice, Journeyman's, Expert's, Master's, or Grandmaster's Book of Gnomish culture which are not used to make the armor at all.

[Parthen Jalgraxa]

Bodand...

You are confusing the master armor with the master seals. You only need to the low level crushbone task to make the armor. The other task that is level restricted (at least, I'm fairly certain) is for the seals.

Hope that helps !

Finished my Hovering Contraption tonight, very neat graphic and 345 Tinkering is nice

[Druegar]

My tinkerbot Twixter finally got his Hovering Contraption thanks to expenditures from a long stockpiling of Sunshard Ore. For those who haven't see one, the HC is a white sphere that floats above the hand which "holds" it. There are no particle effects, just the floaty ball.

So now that he has the level 7 trophy, Tinkering Mastery 3, and Salvage 3, he's very satisfied with himself and yet, now wonders what to do with himself after fulfilling his purpose in life....

Someday I will get around to making a hotkey that says:
/r (fakelink)Volleyball of Doom(/fakelink)

For most enchanters, a player running up and hailing you in the guild lobby means they want a buff...for me it means they are about to ask for a link for my primary.
