  • Group Seals for Cultural?

    I was reading on the station forums... I saw some mention of Group Seals for cultural armor...

    "Group seals for the old armor can only be obtained with drops from Crystalos and are level 80 required"


    I have never heard of this... any more information on group seals?

    Buy the book Seals of the Elements from Tonas in Dragonscale Hills, assuming you have the Crusaders of Veeshan faction needed to see it.

    I cannot say whether the recipes are available yet, as they were bugged for quite some time after the book was first found on the vendor (you could buy the book, but it was full of blank pages).

      These recipes are in game and require the essences that drop in crystallos to make a group level seal that was intended to take Elegant + sublime and increase the stats to match crystallos t4 level gear.

      The new cultural armor is intended to be properly tuned armor with just the stalwart + venerable and the group seals will add focus effects and purity and no stats.

        really? Just focus and purity and no stats? That seams kinda... cheap!

        So basically if you're a tank, it'll give you the mods that you'd be losing by going to cultural..... I was hoping for AC, heh.

        How much HP/AC are the full stalwart/vernerble BP pieces anyhow?

        Will they match the top end group gear from UF?

        Essences are no drop, right? Does that mean that the seals will be no drop as well? Or do you have the seal and put the essance+some junk in it and hit combine and get your actual seal.

          I am not a tank so I have not done any real close looks at the ac values. It is NOT top end group gear, that is for sure. I believe it is something people will get at the start for a quick boost and will grow out of shortly, personal opinion.

          What? The essences I mentioned were referring to Crystallos essences, the same ones used to make the group armor in crystallos and I don't recall the exact method used to make them. The Seal of the Elements book sold on the suppliers in DSH has the info.

            Ok, so the group symbols that use the crystallos essence is old and pretty much useless (if you're farming in crystallos... which no one does anymore... odds are you're not going to be using that essence to upgrade a cultural piece b/c odds are you won't be wearing a cultural piece as groupable gear is, well, much better)

            So, the new cultural armor will have a new group seal (made by pottery, iirc) and this Crystallos upgrade was back in SoF.. I guess I just never heard about it.

            Thanks for your answers

              Correct. The UF group seals are made by pottery. The UF raid seals will still be made via Amalgamators, the AOAA.

                  I believe these are the group seals for new UF cultural?

                  End result is Attunable. So tradable.

                  If you scribe the book called "Seals of the Soloist" from one of the TS merchants outside the library in PoK, you get the recipes. These recipes show all tradable components *except* for Cosgrove Soloist Water which I am unable to find any info on yet (Lucy does not have record of this item atm).

                    UF cultural symbols & seals

                    The UF cultural armors have 2 symbol/seal slots:
                    Slot 16 - stats symbol (smithing/tailoring), approx +400 hp/mana for venerable
                    Slot 17 - soloist seal (Pottery) - no stats on these, they just add focus effects, like cleave 6, fero 6.

                    Hopefully the raid seals will add stats (plus higher focus effect) but I cannot confirm

                      So can someone enlighten me on where Cosgrove Soloist Water can be found? .

                      If it's store bought, is it only on a UF merchant? Or is it not put in game yet? Or is this Water involving a mob drop?

                        Are the seals really ALL slots?

                            not seeing any chest symbol of the soloist seal, guessing there is not one? as no focus on most current chests, just a clicky, however if possible could we get a chest soloist one made that is just 25 purity or increase chest purity from 25 to 50 so that it caps at 75 purity like the others would (armor 25, aug 25, seal 25)

                              Or possibly a set of chest ones that can have any focus effect that people want so that the classes currently being arbitrarily shafted by the arms/legs/head focus exclusivity problems can get that fixed.

                              (Though, to be honest, there would still be some problems even at that--I'd push more for just making the focusing seals not be slot-exclusive at all.)
