--tradeskill recipie for recharging amulet of the void on ZAM

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1194
"Actually it can be re-charged....and btw it is an INSTANT cast evac...you will never die with this thing.
I believe it is 75pp to recharge it, it is recharged in Air"
-- apr 2001, referring to 'amulet of planar transference'

"This item is now called Amulet of the Void.
The clicky uses no reagent and its a class 5 battery + box to recharge."
--apr 2005

seems like transference is the original item. its stats and name were at some point changed slightly, and both versions were always able to be recharged by combining with class 5 battery in box of void.

--from lucy data,
--the identify message on the item indicates class 5. this is the battery used to recharge.

Bump for this.

Seems void is not rechargable when planar transferrence is ans has been for a while.

I was browsing Graffe and came across this, posted Dec 29 2001(25 days after Luclin release):

OLD Sky quest items can be charged, not the new ones.

Evidence that the revamped items will never be rechargeable on our timeline.

this link is referring to vendor recharging and not evidence that this amulet would not recharge with a mana battery.

Nilbog these links give us several instances of people talking about recharging the upgraded neck using a class five mana battery. Is this still being reviewed?

if the classic timeline did take re-charging away on this neck, it seems that we would see a lot more comments and a lot more flames. should recharge imo.

So he was saying that he could vendor recharge the old no drop sky items, but not the new no drop sky items? There are posts in the thread about vendor recharging, but when talking about sky the implied method of recharging is obviously mana batteries.

New Sky items should be rechargeable. The FD Sky ring certainly was, and remains to this day, rechargeable on live. I'm sure the rest do too.

These are good links. Ultimately I was wanting was something like this showing that the newer versions could be recharged with the same components as the old ones.

Will need to get a list of old items vs. new items, and then I can create the combines for them. If someone wants to make that list, that will help me out.

this was in Nov 2013.... did no one make Bog's list for him....??

bumb, please don't forget this.

Bumping this with my research to support it being able to be recharged after it was changed to Amulet of the Void (as Nilbog requested).

So by April of 2002, it was definitely in-game. Course, we all knew that.

April 30th, 2005 (comment by Pan, 2nd down) - "This item is now called Amulet of the Void.

The clicky uses no reagent and its a class 5 battery + box to recharge."

August 23rd, 2008 (comment by primaldreams, 1st down) - "The Amulet of the Void can be recharged in a Box of the Void with a Class 5 Mana battery both of which can be bought from the Key Master on the first Island."

PoSky Guide Commentary -
There's this - http://mysite.verizon.net/drexxell/eq/planeofsky.html
He states, "At this time, there are only three known ways for players to enter the Plane of Sky:"...."Have a wizard who has an Amulet of Planar Transference (Name changed to "Amulet of the Void" sometime between 2001 and 2005) use it to take you to Sky."

You would think that they would mention if the item only had 1 charge and was not rechargable.

Nov 19, 2003 @ 4:32p post #18 by Celebairn, "I still use carry one of my quest items from Sky all the time and use it... that's my Amulet of the Void. It's an insta-cast 1-charge clicky Alter Plane: Sky item that uses no portal stone, and can be recharged at the Keymaster on isle 1 for 53p."

There IS a counterpoint by the next post, post #19, by Qaladar Bragollach, "I thought they changed all the quests and the items are no longer rechargeable unless you got said item before the change."

However, Celebairn answers that in post #23, "As far as I know, all the rechargeable stuff is still rechargeable. Rechargeability was broken on some stuff from time to time, and some stuff just isn't rechargeable, but both my ring and my amulet are rechargeable. On the other hand, you can ONLY recharge them with the box from the Keymaster in Sky,

Sky has had more than its fair share of brokenness for whatever reasons, but now that the npcs won't take and eat the quest items when morons think they can do the quests without talking to the npcs, everything seems pretty decent.

The main broken thing left with Sky items is that they have no aug slots, but that's kind of picky I guess, since I don't wear any of them anymore."

The bit about the aug slot bitching goes on to sorta confirm that its rechargable, since the Amulet has no aug slot to this day...and the next poster, post #24, goes on to state, "Nothing rechargable that I know of has an augment slot. Because the act of recharging involves destroying the item and replacing it with a new fully charged one. This is the case with gnome cultural plate." Ie, the sky items that have no aug slots, are that way because they're rechargeable.

Conclusion -

There isn't a ton out there about this item (its from Isle #8 in a zone that wasn't done much), but there IS enough to provide evidence that the post-upgrade version, Amulet of the Void, is rechargable with a class 5 battery AND that it required no reagent.

Thanks for reading.

PS - I haven't tried it yet, but the ring he is referring to is the Solidate Mithril Ring, if it's not, it is apparently rechargeable too.

[nilbog]

I have enough evidence here to support making the changes, but it's been so long since I've worked with these that a consolidated list would help a lot.

Something like..

name of item - class of battery required for recharge

Each one requires creating a separate recipe, and will take time.

For reference, here is the old thread where I made the current ones rechargeable.
