Specialty Armor Recipes, will u use them?

[Rub]

title says it all ^^ (i voted 'I will see', im making this poll to see if people find it worth it )

Specialty Armor Recipes

- We have added new level 51 armor recipes for Tailoring and Armorcrafting. Each armor piece has a predefined bonus in imbue slot 5. Players will be able to create these items and spellcraft in the four available imbue slots. The predefined imbue slot does not use any imbue points that would be used for spellcrafting purposes.

- The armor pieces have Trials of Atlantis armor textures (from Stygia, Volcanus, and Aerus sets).

- The recipes for the specialty armor pieces will require a dropped component that can be found on high-level monsters and boss monsters in classic, Shrouded Isles, and New Frontiers zones (including Passage of Conflict).

- For more information on the predefined bonuses and armor pieces available from the new Specialty recipes for Armorcrafting and Tailoring, please visit http://www.camelotherald.com/article.php?id=211

that armor can be nice for leirv/CV char temps imo(as u only use 99% armor, well i will on my leirv inf )

You do know that these will be hard to get? I mean making a template with MP is required to get decent stats most of the time but to get MP for these armour pieces will likely cost more than MP legendaries....

At a guestimate we are probably going to be talking around 20+ plat minimum for MP sleeves..

Yeah agree with that, though it really depends on what they mean by high level monsters - just 60+ random mobs or only unique mobs? also on the drop rate. However if the drop tables are anything like leg weps then these will be extremely rare, as the bonuses aren't high enough to justify using anything less than MP still.

IMO it will be like Sidi healprocs, the superrich willuse them but nobody will feel the slightest bit gimped for not doing so.

I reckon it'll vary by character. I'll not be surprised to see some go for it. I'll probably go with the chestpieces at least for any utility (non damage) caster, as +3 all magic is pretty good when compared with the downside of GoV's CC breaking procs, and 99% version of that is better UV than a MP version of the old style.

My take on them is to try a template with 99% of these or MP of the old style, as these are both more achievable.

if the required drop components will drop at the rate of aurulite then it would be ok. if it has the drop rate of realm respec stones in PoC then we will hardly see any mp armors with the new bonuses

 

[Basic_X]

Will maybe test it on a charr. however, i dont think its something ill use on all my charrs

 

[Darzil]

Looks from reading like they'll drop in 5's off monsters like Legendary Afanc. So high level monsters with a reasonable repop time. I'm guessing like legendary weapon components they'll drop every time.

So not too hard to kill it a couple of times and make 99% stuff, but a bit punishing if you wanted MP's.

oh, no! peeps will start to farm toa again and camp bosses for the drops :/

 

[old.Whoodoo]

I wont make any unless they fix crafting timers and the drop rates so farming/crafting isnt the grim chore it is now.

 

[Dr_Evil]

Voted "I will see",

as I won't try to farm those items, but I will get it in my template if I should get my hands on it.

 

[censi]

i dunno about you guys but like I am finding money making is an extreme problem for me.

like I only RVR, I cba to pve. A template does usually cost me like around 30-100 to do (usualy nearer say 30 or less because I have most items) but like no one seems to be buying stuff on vendors anymore. Im not sure how peeps make their money.

its not really a problem upgrading 1 toon, its just like we all have loads of toons and like when a new patch kicks in, those toons that you dont have like 500 hours to spend farming or redoing templates for them, get left behind.

 

[-Freezingwiz-]

Cenci I dono how meny artys etc u have in your template, but at least on my sorc I earn money enough to pay my barrels aswell + armor repair... and still have some left.


but on my mincer my armor declayed 3-4 times faster than my weapons cuz of stealth zerg and all the gimpy dual wielders and on that I didn't have a chance to earn money after repairing (loved suiside runs on brynja tho to see how meny I could kill )

so I guess it's just a matter of how much u get hit compaired to how offen u kill anything


I haven't really made much money since u could farm artys but I helped a friend level a char up and toa it and we PL'd in the Instance dungeons and they give quite a lot of money acually, just bring pbaoe+shield tank+spread healer(with fop), and pull all of it good xp decent money if u can speed it up.

Darzil has a good point, it could actually work out very nice for many people. In fact the +3 skill gems all take up 5 imbue points, which is exactly the difference between 99% and MP armour (32.5 and 37.5 points repsectively fully OCd). Therefore people who have +melee or magic skills in the SC in their temps, which is virtually every meleer and many casters, will generally, by slightly rearranging their SC be able to make MP quality templates with 99% armour of the new type.

Now until drop rates are known for sure it can't be certain that that this is worthwhile, but 99% is a 1 in 6 chance so I don't think it should take too long to farm the components, almost certainly less than the time taken to farm the 10-25p for MP chain and equivalent.

99 % quality is a 1 in 4 chance if you use the + 2 minimum quality item from the quest.

What she said. Always use that tool if making order stuff.

 

[Void959]

Well that's true but imo it's not worth the time to do the quest for conventional armour of any quality, it doesn't affect MP chance anyway. Could be worth it for the new 99% stuff though.

why do ppl vote in a poll thats this old, poll should auto close if not voted for 2 weeks or something, this is stupid

I thought this was going to be about the new hats and stuff. A great way to identify your guild if they are all wearing Jester hats or something.

 

[old.Whoodoo]

Someone must have been bored to dig this one up, now that we use nothing but these parts in temps, its always funny to look back at all the doomsayers who now eat their own jester hats.
