Spells: Enchant Spells (Cultural Armor)

[AexDestroy]

Am I the only one who still thinks none of this armor should be in the game at all before Velious? What resources did people find to say that any of the Cultural armor should be in before velious? I personally never saw a single piece of this dope ass enchanted cultural armor that we enjoy before mid-late velious.

This nerf makes sense. I mean for bards, the mystic koada stuff is better than planar except for maybe greaves, BP, and maybe boots. It's pretty much better than singing steel too due to no stats on singing steel aside from greaves and BP. Basically, only better armor in game is the blazing armor. Seems odd that for 2-2.5K, bards can have better armor than planar drops.

I'm just happy I upgraded beyond mystic koada armor, otherwise I'd be pissed!

Well, this will potentially make a lot of Bard twinks very, very sad. I can't foresee leaving existing armor the same though. It would cost what, about 70ish Blue Diamonds for a full suit?

I had finally started to find Mists, too...

I thought about this awhile ago the only solution I could come up with would be to reimburse every piece of armor on the server with the components it took to do the combine (Minus the gem of course).

This assumes the combines are 100% success rate.

If you go with the statless solution, be sure to make it non-wearable.

Wasn't one of the big draws of it on live that it looked way different, and that it gave a lot of prestige? Must enforce classic fashion choices.

I guess I haven't checked, but don't the non-enchanted versions look the same?

actually a lot more than 10. its one blue diamond PER enchant. so add it up. takes 3 enchanted blocks to make one enchanted sheet. 3 enchanted sheets to make a BP. also needs the chain jointing which needs another enchanted block. so TEN blue diamonds for the Breastplate ALONE

Ouch! And imagine trying to skill up with those requirements in the game. So basically elven cultural smithing will vanish until Velious.

Hey, don't forget to nerf all the Wu's (except hands) while you're at it, and those lovely Wizard rings, and...

Blue Diamonds for Tier'dal and Koada'dal, but only Jacinths for Dwarven? /facepalm

.

Just make the current enchanted armors non enchanted versions. Add an NPC that will exchange if you hand in the appropriate # of gems to make it enchanted. For a limited time.

People need to remember that blue diamonds were just vendor fodder until these recipes came online.

!!! non-classic solution to non-classic problem! Just brainstorming silly goose.

The people crafting this stuff have already made a ton of plat off of it. At least allowing people to get the proper item it should have been if they want to redeem a few dozen blue diamonds/jacinths should be allowed. Although I doubt anyone will dump a bunch of blue diamonds into those sets, jacinths much more likely.

If the items are left in game as is, but no one bothers crafting more of the enchanted stuff, then it skyrockets in price (like imbued plat fire rings).

#1 spells must be fixed to require jem & metal components;
#2 figure out what to do with current enchanted versions (leave in like imbued rings, go statless like BD jewelry, or convert to non-enchanted versions);
#3 decide whether to allow people to redeem or upgrade if they want to turn in the appropriate amount of gems.
