Book 10 Crafting Summary

• Changes to One-shot Recipe Scrolls
  • New one-shot recipes are identical to the existing one-shot recipes in every way, except use different rare required ingredients than the old recipes.
  • Old one-shot recipes continue to exist, however they can no longer be found in treasure. Every one of the old rare required ingredients used in these old recipes can still be found on the creatures that have always dropped them.
  • The new rare ingredients needed for the new one-shot recipes can be found on a variety of unique creatures (as opposed to just one named creature). The new rare ingredients have a 100% drop rate.
  • Changed the display names for all pre-existing one-shot recipe scrolls to include the word "(Old)," to help differentiate between existing and new one-shot recipe scrolls.

• Increased 'Effective Level' of Crafted Weapons, Armor, Jewellery
  • Increased the effective level (or power level) of most tier 2 - tier 5 crafted armor, weapons, and jewellery pieces.
  • Minimum level requirements remain the same, effectively providing a boost to the stats of crafted gear

• Earring and Bracelet recipes for the Jeweller profession
  • 38 new recipes
  • Total of 72 new jewellery pieces

• Improved Craft Tools
  • Restatted the newbie (inferior) tools so they no longer penalize critical chance or induction times - they now simply wear out faster than all other tools
  • Removed tools from vendors and replaced with new set of vendor-only tools - vendor tools are now unique, better than the newbie tools, but not as good as craftable tools
  • Rebalanced the durability on all crafted tools - non-critical tools now have a durability of 45 and have normal wear, while critical tools have a durability of 60 and have tough wear.

Finally, less ores and ignots needed for metalsmith!! Was necessary though, how can a bronze armor need 12 ores, and a steel armor 24 :S is it bigger?

Keep up the good work turbine! Maybe in the future you can make choices how your armor will look like dwarf-style, elf-style, hobbit-style and man-style or something like that.

[Silvermum]

So, now that more items are to be crafted at superior workbenches, will there be more of them please? I can see the one at Esteldin is going to get too busy to work at

Bad news for people grinding in my opinion(talking about metalsmith). It needs less ore but you get less points so in theory you'll still need the same amount of ore.

It could end with turbine shooting themselves in the foot where credit farmers are concerned. Example: More points required to level, peope don't have the time to grind 2200+ ore, but don't have the cash to pay 1g for 50 ore (stacks really need to be bigger!) So... they turn to a credit farmer and buy gold to buy ore... the seller and other people selling the ore push their luck and put the ore higher forcing more the buyer to buy more gold from the farmers.

All in all = a borked economy. Just like Star Wars Galaxies because of credit farmers....
