OMG .. <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g197" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this stuff </a>is great and I havent even see the T8 stuff.One thing - The Acrylia Griffon Fountain looks alot like one of the freeport factions items (forgot what it is called)<b></b>

[maiska]

Really great items, love the platform (weeep! no need to connect bookcases and rugs<img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />) and the drapery, and the fountains, and... Love all <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

They look fantastic! Thank you, Domino!

<p>Have we told you lately that we love you? Consider yourself told. This stuff is going to finish up my inquisitor's torture chamber perfectly! <3 <3 <3</p>

{shambles through}  There are a few more "evil" things in the T8 stuff (as well as goodies for everyone).  I'll have that gallery up later today.  Keep an eye on my<a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g191" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> master RoK article</a> for updates.  Domino and the team outdid themselves, and I'm still trying to sort through the veritable FLOOD of images Kaisha sent me already in the proper format, to get everything in place.

Grinding out 10k, 20k, 30k, 40k, and 50k points is like doing a quest comparable to the Claymore series (time-wise). The rewards for every 10k should come with a free title, free unique looking armor/garb, and some free unique looking house items that are not found elsewhere in the game. (One of the house items from the Qeynos tradeskillers looks like all the other "jewelery/music" boxes. Also, these house items should have a few hundred rent reduction points on them.)</p><p>Once the player passes into the next 10k level, then they would get zoned into a part of the castle to be greeted by a ranking member of their city's ruling council. Horns blare and confetti fills the air as you are handed over the rewards and title for doing your part for the betterment of your city. You zone out and start your grind through the next 10k worth of writs.</p><p>Once the player gets max 50k for all 5 factions, they get a title that reflects the work they have done. The Queen or Overlord would then personally hand over the rewards and title for this feat.</p><p>I bought some of the faction armor for a costly price, only to find that the armor looks a lot like something that would have cost me 5s on the broker. I paid well over a plat+ for the swirly sword from the Qeynos priest faction, and I'm like..."I worked so hard on my own to get 30k faction, and now I have to BUY this? </p><p>Because I like unique house items, I'm now solo leveling my brigand in Freeport by doing only writs. Once I get him to 30k faction with all 5 in Freeport, I'm moving him to Neriak to do tradeskill writs over there for house items. Same goes with my raiding swashy. He'll move to Kelethin to do tradeskill writs there, just for the house items. </p><p>Now, I just need a 10 room - 10 vault door slot house with 10000 space limit to put all of my crapola in. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

[Killerbee3000]

no offense to you... but those factions only go to 40k.... anyway.. especially with guild halls planned for the future, the house items from those factions could indeed be pushed up to real unique + lots of status reduction...anyway, having seen the stuff crafters make in rok... i have to say Domino really deserves a Grats and a Cookie for her part to make RoK rock

<p>Is there anybody who can link the stats of one mastercrafted Armor piece? so that we are able to compare it to Mastercrafted T7 or to the legendary EOF Setparts</p><p> The fabled T8 armor parts are really good but I'm also looking for the more casual stuff.</p>

[Firecracker]

<p>I glad we getting more furniture then T8 stuff added in the lower tiers but I hope that thier is still more to come with in regards to the evil furniture. I glad to hear the news and keep up the great work Domino!</p><p>              .........seen that the rare wood is going to be mohogany, does that mean we will have some furniture with the deep colors of mohogany in T8?</p>

[Spyderbite]

I've really been looking forward to all the new furniture. Now, after seeing the screenies I'm ecstatic.The only question I have about the T7 furniture is: are the gaming tables functional? Or do they simply launch LoN? XDThat's only a half serious question btw.. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

It probably wont make you friends round the office but [Removed for Content] you should be giving lessons to the other devs on how to do a fantastic job

Five months isn't too bad but I think this post is ready for greener pastures and seeing the question has been answered, it can go to pasture feeling fulfilled.
