instruments, im just wondering

[sp33r]

<DIV> <DIV> i was wondering if for sure instruments were coming to eq2?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I loved getting all the rare instruments in the original eq and was wondering if for sure if they are on the list of coming soon?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not if they were just thinking about it, because we all know when "they" are thinking about it it never makes it to live it seems to me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And i would love to see woodworkers get some nice recipes for crafting some rare drums or flutes <IMG height=16 src="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif" width=16 border=0>.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways thanks for reading!</DIV></DIV>

was just reading some stuff on the new expansion EoF, and ran across this :"<b>What about crafting?</b> There are currently plans for a new tinkering profession and Transmuting, the rumour is these will be in addition to your existing crafting profession. T<b>inkering will involve making utility items,</b> transmuting will be breaking down items to improve others items. Transmuting will apparently be allowed on crafted and dropped items." made me wonder if taht could include instruments...anyone know anything more specific about this new tradeskill? <div></div>

<DIV>Up till t6 ~ Woodworkers were able to craft instruments from each tier.  (Drum, Lute, and a Flute) This was removed after a number of updates, since they did absolutely nothing at the time.  An idea that was waiting to be added ... but lost was, most likely, declared a waste of time for limited game content.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lol I still have sandalwood instruments... they will, most likely, stay there gathering dust till the end of my days :smileywink:</DIV><p>Message Edited by Crombie on <span class=date_text>09-08-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:36 PM</span>

<div></div>The last official mention of intstuments I remember was from Beghn, back in February on the woodworker forums <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=a4&message.id=3614#M3614" target="_blank">here</a>:<font color="#ffff00">We felt that kite and tower shields belonged more in the realm of armorers this is why they were moved.  As for lacking recipes.  The following things are what I'm going to be looking into making a little more useful for woodworkers.  Ammo currently player made ammo isn't highly used which needs to change these need to be the standard that adventurers want to buy.  They can get by with store bought ammo but should rather want player crafted ammo.  <b>Instruments oh yes we have plans for these can't go into too much detail on what exactly they are going to do but we will have a use for them</b>.  Finally I want to implement harvesting tools that woodworkers make that lower the casting time on harvesting abilities.<font color="#ffffff">Whilst they did implement harvesting tools, I've noticed no improvement in arrows, and as someone already stated, instruments have gone from our recipe books all together. Maybe, just maybe the plans were to involve tinkering <crosses his fingers, not that it ever seems to do us troubadors much good></font></font><div></div><p>Message Edited by Anakye on <span class=date_text>09-09-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:19 AM</span>

Dunno. Maybe something that went into ranged and buffed a damage spell or something like that.</P> <P>And once you get the DT bows arrows are a thing of the past. Good thing it is too...</P>

<div></div>If anything maybe they can be like rare drops like nightcord, some of the class specific relic armor enhances certain class spells... Or just another slot, but problem with that, other classes will complain that bards get an extra slot, like before when pallys couldnt put anything in their ranged slot.   Btw off subject but in that article i read, apperenty they're comming out with a second earing slot..maybe they can go in there somehow... <div></div><p>Message Edited by loveybutt on <span class=date_text>09-10-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:01 PM</span>

i still have hope for instruments.after they did a little revamp to nek castle a while ago (the original one), i went through it and mentored and tanked with my brigand and a baton dropped. not one of the ones that woodworkers make, but a conducting baton. it was a troubador / dirge item for secondary / ranged categorized as a symbol. i'm going to log on when the servers come up and i'll see if i can find an examine window for it.all they'll really need to do is re-work the bard ranged combat arts to work with instruments, and then start pumping the items out...<div></div>
