    Smithed, me believes, using tinkered components.

    There has always been an Ak'anon cultural forge. Up until now, it was useless.

      That's what I thought, but I want to know for sure, from somebody who has made it please?

        The infused gears are trivial at 215 tinkering.

          Also, all of these items are tinkered, none of them are smithed.

            Frizznik has said at least a couple times in the tinkering channel and to me personally, int casters should wait until LoY... Have a feeling they're going to be the life of the party then. (:

              Yep, tinkering for everything. Man this stuff takes a while to make

              Anywho, here's how my night went last night:

              I ended up making my spanner (YAY!!) finally, then went to take a nap to have lots of time to try this stuff.

              Boy, was it worth the nap.

              After spending 2 hours gathering 11 minotuar bloods (ick!!), and making celestial temper (please shoot me ) and finding someone to imbue rubies, I did my first attempt at clockwork observer greaves..

              At 221 skill, 180 int and my spanner... made them on my first try!

              I was so stoked.. so I tried some gloves.. failed

              So, I went out to wakening to gather some sifaye dust and other parts, ended up spending 2 hours to get 2 sifaye dust, 1 faun hoof, and 1 holgresh wing!

              I ended up going back to Shadowhaven for a friend, and ended up making another pair of greaves for her, and a pair of gloves! This stuff is so sweet.. I wish that some of my armor wasn't better

              So, tonight I'll be attempting some clockwork observer helms and boots. I'm tempted to just wear a full suit of this stuff for the uberness of it

              I have a few GVDs sitting around, so I might try to brute force a breastplate too with the luck that I've been having so far.

              Frizz really impressed me with this. It's really renewed my hope for uniqueness again!

              I'm also really happy for the rogues, they now have access to clicky clockwork armor too. The stats for it are pretty sweet too, not to mention the 30 dex buff on the boots I'm thinking that I'll have to make a lot of these, as they might be quite popular.

              Now, time to go buy a buttload of blue diamonds!!

              I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

                I could not imagine if this was smithed...would any sane tinkerer want 250 tinkering and smithing?

                I've had quite a few requests in regards to this armor even though I've retired from the game entirely now. Enough so, that I think I'll come back for a bit until my prepayment on my account lapses, so that I can make some

                  Recommended level

                  This seems to be known but I haven't found it posted:

                  Clockwork Observer armor is recommended level 45 and the effects are NOT usable at level 20 (the old Clockwork Watchman armor effects were). Was this intended? (i.e. We improve the armor, but also alter it so it can't be used for 25 more levels?)

                    Cutural armor

                    Hey guys and girls

                    Just made attepmts at the Clockwork Observer Breastplate, Gauntlets and Bracer. Succeded at 220 w/ tinkerin tools on the BP and Gautlets. Failed on the Bracer. I did notice that the Bracer only uses 1 Infused gear not 2 like listed recipe. Am I the only one to notice this?

                      You have to find a cleric that worships Brell or Bertox. Really, can't be harder than finding a chanter to enchant brellium/adamantite/whatever.
                      Actually this has been discussed in the past over in Jewelcraft a bit. It's dern near impossible to find a Bertoxxulous-worshipping cleric The conclusion was if you need an imbued black sapphire, you'd get one fastest if you started a cleric and leveled to 29 and bought the spell yourself, rather than looking for a cleric to imbue. A Brell-worshipper is fairly easy, though, since there are Dwarf clerics to be found and a handful of Gnome clerics worshipping Brell.

                        New Cultural for Warriors?

                        OK it's obvious Shadowwalkers is for rogues and Observers is for Clerics/Pal/SKs...

                        None of this is good for gnome warriors. Anyone know if there are plans to make a new set for warriors? Perhaps with Ykesha?

                        Thanks,

                          I wouldn't say that none of it is good for warriors. If you're a warrior that doesn't follow Rallos, you're not going to find much better. And the effects are worthwhile (though you can always get regular clockwork for that).

                          As to Bertox following clerics, yah, a rarity. Zeb has at least one though...a gnome at that

                            I have an odd point to make...

                            I don't play a Gnome, but I did notice something about this cultural armour.

                            Every other race that makes Cultural Armour have 12 pieces, yet Gnomes only have 7.

                            Verant really has made a disturbing trend since PoP (actually since CT opened, apparently) of making player-crafted armour sets only cover the visible locations.

                            Anyone (with some connections) care to ask about this?

                              Good for warriors?

                              In contention with Axterix's post, Oberserver's or Shadow Walker's is nothing special for a high level gnome warrior. Kael or Skyshrine quest armor is comparable or better to these pieces. Stating the obvious, a warrior wants hitpoints and stamina first, then AC. Certain Shadow Walker pieces have the sta and hp, but are sorely lacking in AC. The Observer pieces have nice AC, but no stamina and decent HP. The clicky effects of the pieces, aside from Invisibility on the BP, are pretty much arbitrary for the high end gnome. Oh yes, and produce wrench, which never fails to come in handy.

                              Verant obviously did not have the gnome warrior in a guild capable of farming ToV (very common these days) in mind with the addition of this new cultural. With the ability to get ToV armor, it's not worth paying the 10-30k these pieces are most likely fetching or skilling up to GM to make em. Other classes, sure, but not warriors.

                              Also, I see fierce heraldic as armor at the hands of people who have taken endless time and effort to GM blacksmithing to make, and those lucky warriors that chose Rallos Zek so long ago, to wear. I think there should be a gnomish cultural equivalent. Gnomes are regarded by those that look at stats, etc (read: most) as being unfit warriors. Gnomish cultural offering adequate high end AC, plus stamina and hitpoints would be a nice reward for us brave little fellows that have chosen the path of the warlord, and/or those that have worked hard enough to GM tinkering.

                              All I'm saying is if you're gonna make new cultural available geared (no pun intended) toward gnome rogues, hybrids, and clerics, go ahead and through in some love for the warriors. Heck, the casters are apparently getting theirs with Ykesha.

                                Is great for the Tinkering Warrior

                                Gee, Ma, Why is it the Wizard (who can't wear the armor) that can make the armor first?

                                That's because Int is not a priority for warriors, Son. And besides, who wants to live their life around a musty workshop, when you can go out Bonking?!


                                Introducing New! Improved! Tinkered armor that actually improves the stats you need to be able to improve in tinkering! You had a compete set of "tinkering kit" anyway, now you can wear it while on safari!

                                Thanks, Sony! (image of happy gnomish warrior waving for camera)
