I just heard a nasty roomer that all 300Q swords/weapons made with in the last week will be reset to 150Q. I heard it second hand from another player that said he heard a GM shout it.
Is this true?
-
Yes, though I'm not quite sure why they did it. They stated some time ago that all crafted weapons (which could get ridiculously strong) were to be capped at 300 and any over 300 would be removed. Their choice, not ours.

By the death realm...
Some players train for making good weapons for month.
Now i have Blacksmith 21 and Knife making 14, the best weapon i can craft is daggers with quality 70/70 now, how can i sell them?
I've made 5 days auctions to sell them at 300 tria each dagger, but there are no players who want them, the same thing is, there are no players who have money to buy them. A beginner who have 300 tria to buy weapons, cant use the money for his training.
Don't forget, this is only a game, and we have not the amount of time to spend weeks or month to make weapons wat we can't sell.
Why doesn't it do like that, if i want to make mass of daggers for low prizes and training, i have only to make dagger blade and then combine them. If i like to make some highest daggers, i spent some days at the forge to raise the quality, then i make a low amount of verry good daggers for good friends or for selling at a higher prize? (Quality = Quality + 0.1 * Skill)
I think some Crafters get borred, if they train for a long time and can't make good weapons for sell.
-
My guess is that it only affects blades crafted in the last couple of days because due to a bug nearly everyone was able to create Q300 weapons. That's what i heard at least.
-
There was a bug that most people around the forges knew about, enabling Chars with very low crafting skills to create high quality weapons. It became obvious people were exploiting this so any created in the last week by chars without the required skill levels maybe capped.
-
The 300/300 weapons where able to make only 3 days!
But the day bevore, we only was able to make 70/70 quality weapons with high skill, and now we are able to make 70/70 or lower weapons again with high skill.
But i think, that a quality around 150 would be a good choice for the weapons.
-
The bug should now be fixed (server restart pending) and it was more than 3 days
-
Dang! How come I always miss the good exploits ;(
Oh well at least I never lose any ill-gotten goodies :)
-
I do believe that Q150 is a very generous thing.. seen the fact that I only can beat thet Quality with perfect materials .. at skill 41 !!!
I do believe that the weapons created by this exploit should either be taken away completely or at least lowerd to a level that can be topped with skill!!! like say Q70 or maybe Q60. this still is generous as bug exploitation is actual cheating and should cause serious trouble for the exploiter!
As it is stated in the rules!
>:(
Some people have worked their asses of to get to a point where it was possible to create powerful weapons.. now all this is made useless as some guys made 30 daggers Q300 in a row and stocked up!
-
Exploiting is a good name :)
I sold some quality 60/60 daggers for 300 tria, since they are not much better than Trasoks or Harnquists dagger.
One of them who i sold the dagger say some days to me, that he stacked my 60/60 daggers with daggers from a other crafter what had the highest quality (300/300) and now he have daggers with 200/200 quality.
So what can we do for such people?
The other thing is, we can stack our crafted weapons to standard weapons, sold by Trasok or Harnquist. I told them a game master and the answer was that is maybe a feature.
Now if someone would stuck the exploited 300/300 daggers with Harnquists or Trasoks dagger to get the double amount of weapons with 150/150 or something else, who can control them? Does taken away all daggers, swords or weapons decreases the exploiters?
I made 15 daggers with the high quality, i sold some of them, some other I gave away to friends. Now does i know, who use them to stuck the weapons to other weapons?
The other thing is, some month ago, we was able to make 1000/1000 weapons, and Talad saw, that 300 is max. So making max weapons is cheating? And how long does you find the weapons in the world?
I have no problem if the quality greater than 150 set to 150, but taken out all weapons is the wrong way, some of the crafters buy the raw materials from other people.
Now there is a new bug, where i found a people who used the bug knowingly, i does not knowing the bug, but as i talked to him he stumbled some meaningless answers and going off.
