Merged Spell Quality?

[Bratface]

<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">With all the merging of spells and stances for tanks what happens when you merge an Ad3 with a Master1? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">What quality is the spell after the merge? is it an Ad3 or a Master1? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Or are they all being reset to App1 like any other new spell you get?</span></span></p>

<p>This has been discussed in a number of places; when spells are merged, the higher of the two takes effect. So if one is M1 and the other is AD3, the merged spell becomes M1.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks for the information, I had tried searching but came up with nothing relavent.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Would you happen to have any links to where this is discussed?</span></p>

<p>What about the unscribed spells that are getting merged?  I have yet to see that question answered, but I may have missed it.</p>

[Kiara]

<p>If I understand correctly, unscribed spells will become whatever spell/CA they are being merged into.</p><p>Since it is unscribed, I think that the quality level (adept I or III, etc) will stay the same.</p>

<p>What spells are being added to replace what is taken away so that I can still play the master's leaderboards?  Or are fighters just going to be further handicapped on that?</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you follow the link that Kordan posted you will find this information posted there by a redname:</span></p><p>"<span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial; color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: blue;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>When two spells are merged, whichever original spell had the highest tier will apply it to the final spell. For example a Shadowknight with Master I Dark Caress and Adept I Stance: Defensive Pact will end up with a Master I Stance: Defensive Pact.</strong>"</span></span></span><span style="color: #ffffff;"><span><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">What it means is that if one of your spells that are being merged are a M1 then the new spell will me M1, the new merged spell will be the highest level of whatever spells it merges that you had prior to the merge.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">As for the unscribed ones that are for sale on the broker or in someones bank, I hope Kiara is right about them turning into the new merged stance at the same quality level, M1 old spell will be M1 new stance that it is merged into.</span></p></span></span></p>

<p>Thanks a bunch, Kiara.  That puts my mind at ease.</p>
