<DIV>Any chance to have the loot tables updated to include some trade gear in EOF instants. The main reason im stating this </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>once a person has all there class specific drops out of these zones... There pointless. Thats a major problem in </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>content ... since once again. I am back to KOS for cash drops for time invested in a zone. Any feed back be appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- Krov </DIV>

Instance.Their.They're.Pedantry aside... if they are pointless, don't do them. The EoF instances already drop some of the best gear in the (non-raiding) game. Hell, some of it is even better than KoS raid gear... I've had 2 pieces, Relic Legs and Nocturnal Supremacy, replaced by EoF instance Legendary.I'd be perfectly happy if every single piece of gear in the instances were NOTRADE.--Plague

<P>This is true BUT that is probably why i havent really done OOB, academy or Valdoons in over a month BUT i still get plenty to seel from the contested zones. First try Kaladim, if it gets to packed try catacombs, if it gets to packed try mm castle. If it get to packed which is highly unlikely, i have been to mmcastel dozens of times on my loot named run and i have only seen a group in my loot area once and that group had to follow my path to the named area that i cleared. In fact i am going there right now =p.</P> <P>The only real issue is New tunaria needs to get upgraded in droprates and quality.</P><p>Message Edited by Gungo on <span class=date_text>01-25-2007</span> <span class=time_text>02:14 PM</span>

<P>yea , that was my original point ... once you have all "your" gear ... the contents pointless.</P> <P>The message had nothing to do with other zones.</P> <P>- Krov</P>

Yup and with the best will in the world, if you are the last person in your regular group that needs their forearms, valdoon is going to be at the bottom of the list of things your friends would like to do with you tonight.

Only took 30 runs through OOB for my boots. I wish there was a reason to go back but drops are better elsewhere.

<P>Yea , that is my point. The content is great , solid loot except well its all no-trade. That basicly kills</P> <P>ever doing EoF instants. There is no point in doing them... yea I do want to earn cash and loot.</P> <P>I understand that the "best" items need to be No-Trade and im fine with that .... but there is really</P> <P>no other loot in EoF zones hence why whould I go. </P> <P>- Krov</P>

<DIV>Become a transmuter and get your transmuting skills up.  If you get a drop of something you already have, unequip it and transmute it on the spot.  This way, you get the new drop and have a powder or infusion to boot.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In fact, I believe this is precisely why there are so many more No-trade and Lore items in EoF, because these items can (and should) be transmuted.</DIV>

<DIV>Unless of course your Auditor is adorned in which case your wasting an adornment to breakdown an item on the chance of getting a powder/infusion. Doesn't seem to beneficial to me. However the remainder of the "junk" (otherwise known as no-trade) can be transmuted.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I did this with my main and it does help significantly. Much nicer to get a 60g powder than a 14g vendor item.</DIV>

Off Topic: to some people, a crooked painting on the wall drives them nuts. They have to make it straight. For me, it's poor use of their/they're/there. And other misspelling, especially when it is obvious that it's not a typo, but a general misunderstanding of the word, in this case "instant" instead of "instance".These forums are repositories of information. People who post here presumably want to to get information, or give information. When that information is full of innacurate words, it isn't useful.I'm sorry it bugs you that I point these out, but I'll continue to do so.On topic:I don't want to see the broker flooded with set gear, which is what would happen if the NOTRADE flag were remeoved. There tons and tons of places that you can farm for cash, and it's fairly obvious that the developers do not intend the EoF instances to be one of them, at least not for set gear.--Plague

<P>To have them tradeable will be dumb IMO, thinking they should make it where it only chooses a class from the raid and drops their armor or have some 'rare' (drops maybe 1/4th of the time) type of mold similar to relic so we dont see 34123747238947923 arms being transmuted. It definently seems that its picking classes not in the raid... Its gotten to the point where people are putting their AFK tags on to try and fool the system. O.o</P> <P>Sweet, so with Plague on the job, I'm back in my high school English class!!! I always wanted to learn the correct uses of their, they're and there, as well as the ability to use sentences with triple negatives. To see 100% correct grammar and spelling is definently why I come to these boards!!!!!!</P><p>Message Edited by vladsamier on <span class=date_text>01-30-2007</span> <span class=time_text>03:55 PM</span>

<P>Re. Plague</P> <P>I never asked for the removal of the no-trade flag (did you even read my post or just skip down ?) What im </P> <P>asking for is additional trade loot to be ADDED. The reason being is currently there is no point in anyone that</P> <P>has got there No-Trade loot to even step foot in the zones... I have all the class specific drops from the EoF</P> <P>zones. This also includes the earring , bracelet etc... so ah why waste my time. I once again am back to KOS</P> <P>zones that I have grinded for 6 fricken months ... why because I can at least sell stuff and make cash. </P> <P>- Krov</P>
