New rune keeper items

[vampyrusddg]

posted by Zombie Colossus on the US forums a couple of days ago:

The Rune-keeper is gaining three new items in Book 7. As before, magnitudes are not being discussed, as they change often, and any of these may change as Book 7 draws closer.

Chisel: This Ranged slot item can be crafted by Metalsmiths and will be sought after by all Rune-keepers. Higher quality chisels allow a Rune-keeper to etch more detailed and intricate runes on their stones. Doing so will passively increase damage and chances of avoiding resistance. To be clear, this is NOT a range weapon, just a item that resides in the Ranged slot.

Inlays: Various metallic inlays can be created by Scholars and quickly applied to a Rune-stone. These are not simply cosmetic, as they will harden the Rune-stone, allowing the next induction skill to have reduced power cost and to be uninterruptable.

Enamels: Enamels of a few different colours will also be craftable by Scholars. These enamels brighten the colour of a rune-stone, making it attune further in whatever direction it is already moving.

Sound good. Glad I'm a scholar, though may have to create an alt to get that chisel! But anything that strengthens the rune-stone has to be worth having.

Interesting (great if you're a scholar) - i don't see why such things could not have been implemented before class launch.

The same way Hunters' oils and chants weren't implemented in SoA at release -- the classes are continually evolving subjects, with new ideas being formulated to tweak and balance its abilities and deficiencies.

I for one am really glad to see something that increases our chances to avoid mob resistance -- its WAY more often than on my LM or Minstrel...

I fail to see how something can evolve when no game changes have been made. Fair enough with the new book a few changes will be made, which is acceptable. Prior to the book you would of thought the limitations of the class would have been known.
I don't understand how you can make a new class & not realise its potential or its weak points.

"We'll make a new class, not sure what it can do - if we get it wrong we'll just make some changes in the future book updates"
"Sounds like a plan"

Does it say anywhere if the recipes are drops or NPC bought? Or both?

[Erhnam]

Where the hell im going to find two more skillslots for that stuff? >_<

[PyscoFalcon]

Nice one. Why more scholar stuff tho and not woodwoker or weaponsmith?

My scholar will be happy to have yet more demand for stuff tho.

[asg0noir]

are they usables like the hunters oils?
Or passives you just need to buy once.

i'd say chisels are passives (like, say, satchels), inlays and enamels usables.

in fact i can imagine a huge demand for inlays and enamels (bigger for enamels), but i may be wrong
