Test update notes

TRADESKILLS

Armorers and Tailors have discovered ways to improve the quality of mastercrafted armor across all level ranges.
Harvest nodes in Kylong Plains now require 340+ skill to harvest, like all other level 70+ zones.
You can harvest once again while under attack from an NPC
A number of tradeskill writ and recipe issues have been addressed
The carpenter-made redwood streetlamps have been pruned to a more reasonable size.
Duggin Brandywine at the Thundering Steppes docks may be looking for a helping hand from travellers with a talent for harvesting.
Tradeskill skill-ups will once again increase based on your tradeskill level and not your adventure level.
Bathezid, Danak and Riliss recipe books issued can now be destroyed if you no longer wish to proceed with the writs.
Carpenters have acquired a couple of festive new recipes, just in time for Frostfell!

GAMEPLAY

Adventurers have recently discovered strange, reflective shards in various of the more dangerous dungeons around Norrath. After intensive research and experimentation, Norrath's tradeskill societies have discovered a way to work this magical metal into a mirror with unique, soul-capturing abilities.
High level crafters in good standing with their respective tradeskill societies will be able to acquire this recipe from their city's local tradeskill faction merchant.
You can now store an Achievement Profile in your home, using a device crafted from a primary component obtained in high level dungeons. You can store one profile per device, and they are usable from within your own home.
The finished device cannot be traded and will need to be crafted using the commission crafting system if you are not yourself a high level crafter. (See the tradeskills forum for reminders on how commission crafting works.)

Sounds like AA profile swapping won't be for the faint of heart (or is it faint of purse). But it is nice to see a crafting component to it.

Best thing I've seen in a while. Never understood why they changed it.

Okay....just read one that made me want to clean up stuff so I can re-install Test on my computer. And now, I'm going to! I wanna see the new Frostfell stuff!!!

Yay! I can't wait. I think that I'll go home and clear out some space for Test server, too. SMILEY

Once you guys test this please post how it works for those that want to know...

In the Ironforge Exchange, you can purchase the recipe for it. Requires +40k faction to get it. I assume the equivalent crafter society faction for other cities is the same.

By the way, crafted armor got a huge upgrade. Details Here: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=397834

Thanks Xalmat!/gets ready to redo ALL the Mastercrafted armor in the Zam database... AGAIN! But for the right reasons this time!
