Tradeskills on THF

[Grey]

Please do not add another drop to icewall.
The loot tables are so crowded as it is.
I was thinking along the lines of AC augs but augs with only HP or only Mana at a decent level and maybe some hybrid AC/HP AC/MP HP/MP would be very nice as well.
Tier them so its not just an across the board junk item you can replace from seb.

Tier1: 10ac, 35HP 35MP, 5AC 20HP, 5AC 20MP
Tier2: 15ac, 45HP 45MP, 9AC 30HP, 9AC 30MP
Tier3: 22AC, 60HP 60MP, 15AC 40HP, 15AC 40MP
Tier4: 35AC, 75HP 75MP, 22AC 55HP, 22AC 55MP

Just a off hand suggestion with Tier1 droping in 35-55 level zones, Tier2 droping in pov,pos,chardok, Tier3 in ToV/St/Fire type areas and Tier4 in Fire boss events+

Craftable armor that is attunable would be sweet but I know how much work that would require to be balanced. With distillers being as they are I think these augs would not be to OP considering you can get better by raiding and it would give non-raiders -- Casual players a way to aquire decent augs while retaining LDON as top dog augs for the casual player. Seems like a win/win type of deal and would just require your desire to balance the stats as deemed appropriate, create a recipe series and populate the appropriate loot table.
Maybe trivial could be T1: 100, T2: 200, T3:300, T4: 350.
Would place a value on them, allow low end geared players to craft the easier ones and wouldnt hurt master skillers like me whom have the GM trophies.

Ok. Poison making info that I used without thinking about it much. These choices were based on recipes I found that had only vendor bought(THF tradeskill merchant like Riwel in Guild Hall) items. As I said before, Im at skill 256 and spent roughly 14ooop. I just realized, as I was adding up each item, that Ive been using an expensive recipe where I could have had half the cost per combine skilling where I am now, which you will see by the breakdown.
98 trivial - Atrophic Sap -- Alocasia Root(1p7c - 2x), Lined poison vial(3p5c), Constrict suspension(1p7c) --- 6p26c per combine

172 trivial - Calcium Rot -- Kings Thorn(1p3g x2), Sealed poison vial(6p1s1c), constrict suspension(1p7c) --- 9p6g1s7c per combine

258 trivial - Cyclic Vertigo -- Snowcap Amantia(6p4s7c x2), Crystal Night Shade(1p4g5s1c), sealed poison vial(2p1s5c) --- 21p5g7s1c per combine

275 trivial - Spirit of Sloth -- Creeper Ivy(8g6c x 2), Sealed poison vial(6p1s1c), Ethereal Suspension(2p5g1s9c) --- 12p1g4s2c

This is the list I have so far of just vendor bought items. Ive made the mistake of making Cyclic vertigo's at 21p+ per combine instead of Spirit of Sloth at 12p+ per combine. These may just need costs of items to be rebalanced to put those 2 in order properly. I will just reply again when I work on this skill again and get movin past 275. Also, I will be checking out the recipes and drops and giving feedback on the whole recipe list probably, as to what drops and whats not available.

thought i had 2night while leveling up baking, i would love to seem some high end player made food that would rival the daily quest if not better, i think that would be great if players could make really solid Food for each other, and drink - could add some fun drinks to brewing too.

[Zolzimar]

I can see some nice custom food/drink recipes happenin. Nothin lke some 'mountain dew' 20str 25 sta 25 magic resist 100hp 100 end.

May i suggest using the "Augment Liquor" that drops way too much in Fungus Grove as a tradeskill component?? As well as Shrieker Essence.

[Aruun]

Acrtually those are already TS components. They are part of the Cold Aug recipe, which is a damage aug for weapons. Pretty nice item actually.

Nothing says I might not reuse them in another recipes though. hehe
