    No, forging doesn't require a license. 

    For the purposes of getting better at forging particular descriptors and really everything else, weaponsmithing and armoursmithing are two sides of the same coin.

    Has anyone taken augmentation? Does it have the new ability (to replace augment) in yet, and if so what is it?
  • KyttinKyttin
    Ok my question is this, Serpents had milking, now they don't supposedly, -Note it still shows in AB VENOMS MILKING-, so that means the trade skill I previously had, I no longer have? Because I don't have Toxicology showing up at all. So now what?

    It's supposed to be replaced (eventually) with some other skill for Serpents as I understand, they were just trying to come up with something balanced.

    So let me get this straight. We were told the Philosopher's Stone was out in the old thread.

    Now it's the end ability for Formulations. So the benefit to those who will have synthesis is only available for those who ALSO trans Formulation?

    @Amarillys would also be interested in if that's as intended.  She wanted nothing to do with Formulations in exchange for keeping her lessons in Syn/Rem only.

    Also... Phials? Phials anyone?

    Yes. They're not rolling out all the classes at once (it would have taken another two months). They rolled out three (well, five really, there's three knight classes) today (which, Magi was a surprise, we were only expecting Alchemist and Knights), the rest are supposed to be coming in the next weeks/months. Until then you keep your old tradeskill for now.

    I am confused by Tecton's offer of a direct skill-level transfer.

    Can I retain my tradeskill instead of the replacement class skill?
    We'll handle this manually in cases where a particular player would rather the miniskills in place of the replacement skill. Once your class tradeskill split has been completed, just email support@achaea.com, and we'll make the appropriate adjustments. This will be a direct skill level switch, not a 100% refund on lessons.

    Does this mean that I go from 70% (1118 lessons spent) in this new skill that I got from spending lessons in the skill I intended to spend lessons in to 70% in one tradekill (693 lesson total) meaning that I'd be losing MORE than HALF of my lessons already spent?

    Does it mean I go to 70% in two tradeskills?

    And, I'm curious, do they have to be the two tradeskills that add up to what I originally invested lessons into? Or do I get to at least spend my lessons without an additional 50 cr to enjoy we were granted access to?

    You get whichever skill level you were at, I think. And probably some bonus lessons.

    Do you need to forge journeyman level materials to get to blacksmith, and do you need to forge blacksmith level materials to get artisan? Or can you forge a lot of apprentice to get to artisan?

    The system doesn't care what rank you are for the purposes of progressing in Forging, so nope to your first question and yes to your second.
  • RispokRispok
    Do size 1 items (which appear to have no effect on mastery and little consideration towards commodity cost) provide advancement in forging rank? Like, does forging a tower shield actually do anything for you in terms of mastery OR rank? Will consideration be given towards adjusting these size values? Like leatherarmour is size 3 and costs less in commodities (usually) than tower shields, and leatherarmour gives 1 mastery % while tower gives <1.

    It seem that i cannot use most of conjuration when i tried to create some one of  conjuration item. it tell me that I don't have sufficient magic knowledge. Is it because I'm not a mage/sorceror/warlock/etc?

    I took it and transed it. Available abilities for me at present with AB AUGMENTATION are:

    Abilities in Augmentation:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Firelash             A lash of burning fire.
    Hearing              Hear while otherwise deaf.
    Cold                 Enchant rings with the power to resist cold.
    Waterwalk            Enchant shoes with the power to walk on water.
    Electric             Enchant rings with electric resistance.
    Firewall             Create a wall of fire.
    Meteor               Turn arrows into flaming meteors.
    Magic                Enchant rings with magic resistance.
    Icewall              Create a blocking wall of ice.
    Fire                 Enchant rings with fire resistance.
    Scabbard             Enchant a scabbard of stasis.
    Imbue                Imbue scrolls with transferrable enchantments.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Curiously, however, if I do AB AUGMENTATION AUGMENT, I get this:


    Augment (Augmentation)                        Known: No (68 lessons required)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Syntax:            BEGIN ENCHANTMENT OF <armour/weapon> WITH AUGMENTATION
    Details:
    Enchanted onto armour or weapons. Stackable.

    Actions:
       15, 3x11, 3x3, 6, 2x14, 2x1, 9, 17, 4, 5, 3x15, 3x16

    Comms:
       2 diamond dust, 1 silver, 1 gold

    Augment can be used to increase the effectiveness of weapon or armour. It will raise a random
    statistic on the item, but each time you put an enchantment on it, there is a chance of it being
    destroyed. This chance depends on your skill in enchantment and how many enchantments are on the
    item.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It shows up even though it's not on the actual ability list. I assume that this is some sort of bug, or the skill is still in there for the moment but has had its lesson requirement shifted to something beyond any ability to reach (since I'm transed, but it says I need another 68 lessons).
    - (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place."
    - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
    - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
    - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
    - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."

    I am happy. Finally. But it took me ~5000 lessons and 100 credits. Whatever though. Hooray! Thanks to Tecton for fixing the bug with Conjuration as quickly as he could!

    Was trying to test getting a magic resistance augmentation in the Tasur'ke caves:

    -->begin enchantment of ring133267 with magical resistance

    Your knowledge of magic is not great enough to perform that spell.

    Same problem?
