Lets start a patch thread

From the reading of the Lightning Burn skill "bug fix" it seemed some people may have been glitching it to add another instance of electric weapon on top of electric burn. As I never tried, nor did this, I cant say for sure, but Lightning burn does work as it is supposed to and the dmg is the same, no nerf for anyone using it properly.

Looks like crafting festival has no recipes higher than 65, (meaning you cant get higher than 75-80 with them as I remember) If this is not the case and someone finds said crafting recipes please let the rest of us know. And no that doesn't mean tell us of the normal recipes, only referring to the nice, rune-less, crafting festival ones.

Edit to add: Dogmeat is bound!

Well they also made guard dog meat bound which is a is good and bad; It can't be farmed by a bot anymore and for those who powerlevel more business on XP/TP events ... and for those that like to use daily resets... better start farming that dog meat!

Ironmansam -- 95/75/61 -- R/M/S
Miniiron -- 95/77/50/50 -- Ch/R/M/P
Tingtingthethird -- 95/72/60 -- D/Wrd/S
Firesvanity -- 95/60/76/50 -- K/M/W/P
And many more...
Heavensfury is kinda great I guess

bound dog meat just killed another stream of income for new players.

bots were not that big of a problem imo, and i think the change will hurt more than it helps.

that being said, with the bound dog meat, did they get rid of that stupid "only drops with active, uncompleted quest" thing?

anywho, this just put the nail in the coffin for dog meat farming as a source of income.

if i didn't know better, i'd say RW doesn't want more people playing the game...

my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

I like the whole quest only & bound thing for guard dog meat. It got pretty annoying seeing a gaggle of like 6 toons ( 1 active & 5 inactive ) farming them when all I want to do is finish 10 dailies quickly.

Happy for crafting festival!

Can't wait to level up some of my crafts, even if the event only goes to 75. Since I haven't been here that long yet, my crafts are still in the low levels. I just wish I could choose more than one craft to max out...

About 95% of the time I use dog meat for my own dailies, so that wasn't affected. The other 5% was the one time that I sold dog meat during an exp event a while back, which is how I got most of the gold I currently have.
I'm not sure what I can replace dog meat income with (at my level), so I guess my plan would be to continue questing and then collect/sell those blue items with the yellow stats. Or I guess I could sell crafting related items, but I've been told people on Indigo already have their own alts for crafting. Sooooo not completely sure what to do for money, but I'm not too concerned (yet).

Dont know what level u are yet but if your high enough anteater drops used to sell fairly well on indigo when i was there 8ish months ago. its next best daily drop, altho not as desirable or as valuable in terms of ah prices but its something that sells ok. farmed items over here on reni seem to sell for wayyyy less than they did on indigo.

the advantages of pk trading instance drops over there probably accounts for the amounts of gold that flow over there.

I am fairly satisifed with the change to dog meat. we had our own over here that had one farming the dogs the rest taking turns looting them.

and yay for crafting festival! time to level my blacksmithng. now if i could just find those rare drop crafting recipes that seem unknown over here i will be happy.

anyone on reni that hoards recipes, wtb anlins staff recipe .

Yeah was possible for w/m to have fire and electric both stacked whilst electric would be hitting for over double fire. As irc crafting has never been possible to get recipes over 65 but imo its still a nice starting block. And dog meat being bound was just totally stupid imo. Also seems they are finally cracking down on the use of model folder following the latest patch.

Finally! I only been suggesting that they bind dog meat for like 2 years now.

-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Very happy for dog meat being bound!! finally done, if new players don't play the game because dog meat is bound LOL well see ya. There is plenty of ways to make gold in game if people are not lazy. Crafting festival can get you to level 75 in a few hours with gold only, no need to make any recipe higher, then they can level it like we all did, hardwork.

Like the changes people and thanks for the new instances, it is very pretty and fun to run on easy and normal, now need to clear it on hardmode this weekend!!!!

I think it could be cool for others at the other instances... however you can just run to the one NPC...

Either way would be better to have one at all of them.

this npc can only be at one place at a time and Morfan being the newest instance and having the most visits and tries atm the problem was most pressing there.

But since fixing it worked for Morfan today I would guess we might be able to fix it after the weekend for the others - no promise though.

I hope the NPC will be around or that there will be a fix by the time I get up to that quest. I'm afraid I'm gonna get up there and will be stuck like people were before. Now I'm torn between questing my butt off or continuing to level my crafting in the festival. Maybe I should toss a coin. xD
