I fear random item loss in dropped containers in guild houses has been reintroduced with one of the latest changes/updates.
The said sets have been put there late in Dec 2025 and had remained there until recently.
The Arcane Crucible refuses to work if just a part of the TGS stock’s quality boost would be wasted. So you can’t go from Q299/Q298 to Q300 currently.
Proposed fix: Only prevent usage if the entire three points would be wasted, not a fraction of that.
]]>Ridge is not the right word, it should read “Ledge“.
Apart from that I mostly heard the designation “Amidison’s Ledge” of course that much of abstraction might be asked of the avid quest player.
In addition the item description text for the Quilldrake talon doesn’t make sense when it says “A sharp, straight claw ripped from a quilldrake’s tail.” A talon and a claw should originate from the limbs/toes of the animal. If they are to originate from the spine and tail, a “Quilldrake Spike” would be a more fitting designation (to my knowledge used for reptiles such as stegosaurus).
Instead of three Ulbernaut Hearts, allow also for
- one Maulberlord Ebony Heart
- two Lava Quilldrake Hearts
otherwise leave the recipe’s ingredients the same as the existing one.
Optionally vary the quality of the resulting sludges, just like with the different steel and bronze alloy ratios.
Reasons for adopting the proposal:
(1) In my opinion it doesn’t make sense to limit the ability of creating this special alloy to a single species, in particular discerning species within the *ulber* family with Ulbernauts’ vs. Maulberlords’ hearts.
(2) It would create more viable sources for the alloy while - with the given loot rates - it would leave the overall effort of creating larger amounts more or less unchanged. Yet people would have to compete less for the few available Ulber herds.
(3) It is a first opportunity to easily adopt Quilldrake loot into the game without larger additions. (There are probably similar opportunities in the Alchemy books, e.g. heart for mana essences, an antidote as I assume is planned)
If one wanted to extend on this concept, one could also allow for four Trepor Queen Hearts in the trigrain steel recipe to create a fourth option.
No matter how complex and difficult an item to repair or how many quality points need to be added … all items reach their minimum repair time of 20 seconds as soon as the repairing character has reached a skill level of 98. This makes the 102 following levels a real hassle.
I assume this to be an artifact from the time when repairing skills maxed out at 100.
//Expected behaviour://
The most complex and difficult items (say triple modified loot of a hard to repair base item), when repaired for their full stretch of quality (Q1/300) should yield longer times for levels past 100 and only tend to minimum when the skill level reaches max.
