The Hidden Forest

Xikanir's Ring Quest is a great quest that every player should do, it results in a great item with excellent clicky effects. Depending on your class the clicky effect varies:

Ring for the Spiritual
Unique Clicky effect: Chaotic Spirit

Ring for the Strong
Unique Clicky effect: Chaotic Defense

Ring for the Wild
Unique Clicky effect: Chaotic Wildness

Ring for the Energized
Clicky effect is NOT Unique: Power Potential III

Items with this effect

Ring for the Energized
Crystal of Potential III
Glyph of Power
Immaculate Loop of Energy
Glyph of the Burgerz
Lucid Rune of Destruction

For three classes: tanks, healers, and melee the clicky effect is unique. Hence the ring obtained remains useful for as long as you play on THF.

However, the focus of this post is on the casters' ring: Ring for the Energized. The clicky effect for casters is NOT unique, Power Potential III. If you click any of the items, then none of the other items with this effect can be clicked until the recast time has passed; they are all on the same timer. Not only that but the recast delay is less for other items than for the Ring for the Energized. So the casters' ring becomes obsolete as soon as your caster gets another item with the clicky effect. The ring gets put in the bank or given to a bot or something.

What I propose is that the clicky effect for casters does not become obsolete. The casters' ring would then not become obsolete and, like other classes, would always remain useful. The easiest way to implement this, I think, would be to simply make the Ring for the Energized be on its own unique timer. A harder way would be to come up with some different, but always useful, unique clicky effect.

What does Crystal of Potential III drop from? I've never seen it and web tools doesn't show any connections to the item. http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools ... ?id=119703

Must be some T7/8 mob or something? The other items with Power Potential III are around there.

Anyways, considering that Xikanir's ring is acquired by T5, way earlier than other PPIII items, dunno about Crystal of Potential III, wouldn't it make sense that it's not as good as the others? I agree though that it's the only Xikanir ring without a unique effect which makes it seem like it's not in line with the quest.

Well it is listed as an item with the spell. I've noted that sometimes it appears that there are plans for the release of an item so it is included even if it has not yet been released. Whatever, there are several items with the same clicky effect an all are on the same timer that I have tested.

We added this to the internal todo for a possible 'fix' but it's low priority atm.

Thanks Lillu!
