btw, i found a bunch of new smithing recepies on eqtraders. They were incorporated into the old smithing pages, so you have to dig through about 5 pages. Some of the new recepies appear to be deathsteel and fiery weapons, different types of ornate chain (different jc metals used instead of silver) and acrylia armor.
oh... and i will be working a bit of smithing shortly, so if anyone would like to try any of the new armors/weapons, give me a hollar and i'll see what i can make... and maybe we can figure out the new stats together.
ok is it just me or are me, Anna, and Mich trade skill junkies? LOL
i for one have alot of fun with this stuff. i would be happy to play along with you Anna on the smithing stuff.
Hi, my name is Michealus, and I'm a trade skill junkie.
Hmm, shows promise.
hehehe, what would the 10 steps be? How to make the 7th coldain prayer shawl?
you know Mich the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem..lol
7th shaw lol wodner if i should even try the first one?
the first 4 are easy... get to 5 and you start pulling your hair out.
I just looked at the new armor trivials. Woohoo, no ornate chain for Dirkon. He is near the top of the old banded trivials and now can start making his fine plate.
Ornate chain is EXPENSIVE... and a major pain in the ass. Anna has now made a full stack of ornate chain, plus a few pieces of gold chain, and I have found that it's about 12pp per combine, and the finished pieces sell back for about 3-5pp. That's even worse returns than jewelcraft, and while the ingredients aren't as hard to obtain as tailoring supplies, it is still something that is only really feasable for porters (unless there is a jewelcraft vendor in the basaar that I missed. Also, getting the HQ ore is a pain if the vendor runs out. Altho I HAVE found that it's about the same amount to get 1 large brick of HQ as it is to buy 3 small bricks and make 1 large brick. Of course there are more chances to lose your ore with the combination from small to large. As for the finished product, it is still decent twinking gear... nothing there is actually a market for. The gold chain has decent ac for chain based classes, and +cha on all pieces. Personally, i think it might be less of a cost to go the FP route from the new banded triv (i haven't priced FP molds tho), but it would be more of a pain in the buttox, since you need to collect LOTS of LQ pelts, as well as harvest twice as many spiderling silks (of course that has been made easier with the introduction of more spiderlings in NRo) But the point is that FP is cheaper, altho there will prolly be less successes and thus less revenue. Hmm... would be an interesting concept to figure out...
If you can find player customers it sells for about 10pp/ac. The medium quality platses are a bit expensive. The reason high quality or runs out is its player loot sold to vendors. It drops in runnyeye, high keep, perma and sol A. If you AoE Runney, you should get a lot.
actually, there are 3 vendors now that sell HQ ore as part of their standard stock..One of them is in the bazaar and very readily available. The major difference is that those 3 vendors are likely to run out of HQ ore, then you have to do a quest (collect 4 unrefined ores) to restock the HQ ore on the vendor.
