Mage GuildMasters Gain Merchant Charging!

[drauz]

http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/GemStone%20IV%20Announcements/Important%20Announcements/view/3026


Infuriated by the rising costs of reagents and enchanting materials, wizard guild masters at the local Wehnimer's branch took to the streets to vent their frustrations. The protest turned violent when merchant guild representatives hit the streets to silence and mock the mages who might cut into their profits. Chaos ensued as the mages lost their tempers and unleashed fire and fury on the snooty merchants and their wagons. At day's end, many a merchant was battered and bruised from staff and book, and at least two wagons were reduced to ash. Several wizards were seen running away from the scene carrying bags of loot and merchandise. The local constable has been dispatched to track down the stolen merchandise, but admits the chances of recovery are slim. When asked the total loss of goods suffered in the incident, the merchant's guild representative responded, "the goods are easily replaced, but the recharge trade secrets, RECHARGE TRADE SECRETS are gone!" before rushing off in tears.



There now exist wizard master level "rodyn" potions that will convert any magic item into mage rechargeable items for a small window of time (60 seconds). During this time a wizard may use an orb prepared with 517 to charge the item using the same rules that GM-Merchant characters use for charging items. Meaning no chance of failure (assuming the item hasn't deteriorated to the point of not being chargable verifiable via merchant messaging on 405) and much lower mana costs (1 mana per charge) than traditional mage charging. Creation of this potion will require a high-level and rare ingredient, but will produce a potion with 5 pours, allowing upwards of 200 charges from a single non-rechargeable item at nominal risk.

as a side note, it's been available via the library since the 1st

Viduus - Today at 10:43 PM
you guys generally still won't like the ingredient requirement, but it is a system that uses the same rules as merchant recharging, so with a 5 pour potion you could kick out ~200 charges if you manage to find a heroism spoon or something

Its real, it was released thru a two day event.

If you grind everyday I would say 4-6 months and a mil or so a week. Maybe longer. Has taken me 2 + years at a moderately slow pace and am only 13 ranks away from mastering.

All,
Some of you have reported that you're using faintly glowing cores and the recipe isn't working. When updating the plinite logic I missed the fact that there are ranges of cores produced, and several common varieties default to "a faintly glowing core" description. The version needed by the recipe is not a common quality one. For context, one way to think of this is a mage rechargeable emerald vs. a normal emerald, from the description they appear to be the same thing, but have different functions.

You can currently tell if your "faintly glowing core" qualifies by using ALCHEMY EXAMINE on it. If it shows as an alchemy ingredient, then it's the rare variety, if not, then it's just a common one.

To make it easier to identify the rare versions of the cores I'm updating their descriptions to "an iridescent glowing core". This should clear up some of the confusion. Old eligible cores should still work for the recipe. The corrected recipe using the new description is below.

You didn't hunt all of those plinites since they added the new style of plinites though, so some of those faintly glowing ones are probably the rare kind. I'm fairly sure that they're the type that you sell to the gemshop and get a note for. I generally get 1 or 2 every two batches of 100 plinites.

They were all looted yesterday.

As much as I hunt the confluence, I maybe find 1 greater a week of even that, and I kill a lot of shit in there every day. If iridescent cores are even more rare than that, then Simu just wasted a lot of time coding this shit.

I don’t get why sorcerers get scroll infusion using off the shelf items to charge up pretty much any spell in the game since tons of shit is found on scrolls, but letting wizards recharge shit that’s atill going to overall be weaker than scroll infusion is considered so OP that it has to be balanced with ultra rare drops from one of the most annoying places in the game to hunt.

I’m convinced Estild is just trolling wizards now. I don’t see how not even one GM looked at this and didn’t think it was ridiculously stupid with the requirements.

Opened another 50 plinites last night after I made my last post, still 0 iridescents.

At least they’ll sell for a lot.

I seriously have to agree with you on this one linguini boy, I really am a cockmonger.

Do we know how much deterioration will occur while charging in merchant mode? Or if items that are both MR and enhancive are eligible? Scrolls do populate quicker, but if it could be done, taking advantage of item combining offered at some events would mean you could ( in theory ) combine your items and charge them forever(ish depending on if merchant charging wrecks values less than normal). Plus reduce the bullshit of having to pull a scroll, invoke, or keep a pocket Sorc ( which is lolz considering everyone had a pocket Wizard before ).

It's not instant gratification, but you didn't have the ability before this.

If the drops are more rare than greater essences, this will almost never be used by anybody.

I hunt the Confluence pretty much all day every day when I'm at work because having lots of downtime rules, and I probably kill anywhere between 1000-2000 elementals a day, basing it on my fame accumulation, which Confluence stuff is worth anywhere from 900-1050 fame per kill, being base level 95 (cold side) and base 100 (hot side).

On average I probably find a greater essence every 1-2 weeks at best, and I'm probably being very generous with that estimate. If iridescent cores are even more rare than that, that's total garbage. You could track down 2 Heroism scrolls and have a sorcerer infuse them before you even get a chance to think about recharging that mangled steel spoon that's been in your locker since the late 90s.

With a drop rate that horrible, and then being tied to ass cheese alchemy on top of it, I'm seriously convinced that Simu is trolling wizards at this point. It's not about instant gratification, it's about Simu having an incredibly retarded and fucked up idea of what balance is.

I should be opening a big batch of plinites shortly, all of which were farmed today. I expect to find 0 iridescent cores. Same for tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that, etc.

If shit's going to be that rare, it should recharge enhancives too. But then that would probably require 500 ranks of water lore.

It would require 251. Just barely out of reach.

[audioserf]

Wizards get a pretty raw deal with this stuff - I don't play one but it's crazy. The drop rates of greater essence are appalling and there's no reason for them to be that low. Enchanting flares requires so much alchemy hassle and dedicated training and for what reason? Are flares really that powerful? It isn't that powerful to be able to enchant them to justify the BS wizards have to put up with to do it. Weighting/padding is better than flares a lot of the time and (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) there's no extra alchemy work expected of mages to enchant weighted/padded stuff.

I don't hunt the Confluence, so I can't speak on that and would rather not attempt to quantify. The GM who released the spell, in my honest opinion, has acted quickly on the feedback given. It seems it isn't something that should be able to be done willy-nilly, considering the price of good MR items compared to scrolls which even with great Sorcs expires eventually, I can see why it has a "rare" appeal.

< it should recharge enhancives too >

Nothing will impede on Simutronics ability to increase revenue in the SC Store. Frankly, I'm honestly surprised AdG charging doesn't lessen the value of the item and corrupt charges.

< probably require 500 ranks of water lore >

It makes your lore choices count? I dunno, it seems to be a revolving punchline of yours, I'm just not sure I understand the full lengths of your angst for it.

I don't think you're fully grasping how low the drop rate is. Greater essences have pretty much the worst drop rate ever, and these are apparently worse than that.

I wasn't being figurative. You could replace "It should recharge enhancives too" with "It should give you BJs in real life."

Go read up on wizard changes from the Elemental Lore Review going forward and it'll probably make more sense.

For another example, see how 512/Shatter works + what it requires to even use. That's basically how Simu handles everything with wizards now. Shitty payoffs proportional to what's required for it.

I am just wondering if there is something we are missing. How are you opening them? Are there different ways to open them? Is it possible something needs to be done to the plinite before it is opened? Just grasping at straws here.

[Aganii]

Im curious about that as well. I dont have a rogue to safely extract cores from the plinites so I only open plinites that are under 5k silvers. If the cores are "generated" when the plinite is created versus when you open/extract these will be even harder to find.

[Methais]

I pick the plinites. You get the core regardless. Picking them allows you to sell the plinite too, but has no effect on the core.

A quick look back through posts (which means I may have missed one or two), but it looks like you've collected and opened at least 1200-1300 plinites and are none the richer with iridescent cores.....I don't know, man. You must be doing something wrong.....yeah, it's probably user error because you're not licking the plinites before you open them or something.

I'm starting to think something bugged out when he coded the "iridescent" part and it's not showing up, and they're still showing up as a regular core. I'm finding it hard to believe that out of me + everyone else hunting the place, which I have no idea who or how many people that actually is, that 0 have been found by anybody yet. But it's Simu, so 0.000000000000000000000001% drop rates aren't hard to believe either because "balance."

^ Indeed :)

[Alastir]

When it was requested that X number of minor essence can be used to make a greater essence Estild said they would just adjust the drop rate of greater essence if they thought it was an issue.

I think they might be open to evaluating the drop rates, if someone made a strong enough case. But how do you go about doing that?

We've asked them to look at major enchant projects of flaring weapons. We don't have those numbers. All of us realize the drop rates are horribad, but they don't seem to get it.

[Methais]

I think they might be open to evaluating the drop rates, if someone made a strong enough case. But how do you go about doing that?

All you can really do is document your drops like I am in this thread, link/paste it on the officials, and then wait for Simu to be like:

Listen, I’ll give you a clue meatball head.. you’re getting played. Just because lying Ted Simu says it ccaaaann drop doesn’t mean the drop rate is really .00000000000000000000000000000000000000 % Actually earning shit by playing the game is beyond unthinkable for Simu, not while they can Simucoin you to death for it.

You might have a point if I wasn't still getting rich as fuck regardless and/or if I didn't hunt this place regularly for years before these new cores even existed.

By the time I do find an iridescent, I will have made several times whatever their market value is by then from everything else in there.

But feel free to explain how this is me getting played while you continue to beg people to give you silvers for your shitty purchased rogue that you don't know how to play.

To make it easier to identify the rare versions of the cores I'm updating their descriptions to "an iridescent glowing core". This should clear up some of the confusion. Old eligible cores should still work for the recipe. The corrected recipe using the new description is below. - Viduus

Methais, I see one of two things happening:

1) Viduus forgot to turn on the switch to actually release these things

GM thinking: "These essences are like rare gemstones... gold is sort of a gemstone? ... people pan for gold with water... water lore will allow you to find this stuff"

Give it up Methais, your future is written in the sands.
