Adorning Slots and some confusion.

FrozenFrostbeard · 02-24-2011, 05:10 PM

Now, I tried in beta to cover a lot, but well school.

So, my few questions:

I just picked up some HQ's last night to find the the items in rewards (the embalmer's knife for example) has not one, but TWO adornment slots and is labled as Fabled.

Now, not for nothing-- but if we're adorning HQ rewards why do we still have the ornate tag? I use the bow of underfoot for pulling, and am absolutely blocked by the ornate tag, preventing me from butting any sort of adornment on it. So, the new HQ items are better than previous tier raid drops, fabled, and capable of two adornments. What's up with that?

Second: You've moved the procs to specific slotted adornments, and they can only be placed there. I saw a link to a fabled sword that only had a white slot on it from some instance (cant remember which one..) and on release day i picked up a shield that also had only a white slot on it. Didn't think anything of it until I came across some other instance loot (of comparable nature) that had the extra slots on it, as well as the HQ deals.

So... oversight on the fabled instance loot? Or tough luck, punk?

obviously we care more about what gear looks like than what it does, carry on.

It seems they changed the system, before DoV you couldn't put an adorment on as it could be turned into a house item.

Now the quests give you the house item version and the actual item itself.
