Why are dwarves the only race with a FOURTH tier of cultural tradeskills?

[dbouya]

Cultural tradeskills for all non-dwarven races (that have them at all):
You get the basic armor, you get basic+enchanted, or basic+imbued which is the best.

Dwarves get basic armor, or enchanted, or imbued, OR a fourth tier that's about ten times as good as all other cultural tradeskilling that is simultaneously both enchanted and imbued?

Why don't they all have a fourth tier? or if this fourth tier is post-velious why did dwarves get it in the first place?

When in the timeline do other races get upgrades to match dwarves? is it after luclin? or slightly before luclin? Not the blue diamond stuff, but isn't there anything between what we have now and that?

Same reason they get BARREL ROLL and no other races get that! Dwarfs need nerfed. NOW.

OR, give other races barrel roll AND 4th tier crafting recipes!

If possible a GM event that gave everyone on the server barrel roll for 8hours would be AWESOME, perhaps april 1st?

Unless that's hardcoded?

[Tupakk]

Dwarf illusions bring barrel roll? Test it out.

I'd say 4th set of armor cause of lore.

ah man that would be cool to have dwarf illusion... AND BARREL ROLL

[Tupakk]

Ikr.

[Jimjam]

Dwarves in many settings are the greatest craft artisans.

No surprise this is true in EQ too.

They might get all this, but for many races...who actually wears any of it these days except on a twink?

A lot of people haven't ever hit 60. I hit 60 in 2000. I haven't hit 60 on project1999 yet.

Yes by percentage of hours played everyone is rich and has many 60s and raids under their belt. By actual human players though? percent wise? most people are casuals.

So, the chatter is all about how useless everything is and how everyone has all the pimp stuff, but there's tons of new players rediscovering the game every week.
Although yeah anyone who doesn't worship brell serilis? They might not care about cultural armor, but that was my point.

Then there's <Auld Lang Syne>. This is their ideal gear. Or me wanting to rediscover what it's like to be a newbie for an afternoon and considering a giant snake fang a massive upgrade :-p

Because cultural tradeskills are still fairly new at this point in the game. Practically all of them are terrible. Even using dwarven cultural as an example of "nice" stuff... It's pretty meh gear that wouldn't interest a high level character, something that's true of almost all player crafted items.

A good point but cultural armor is still expensive - its almost easier to hit 60 than it is to go down to Fat Cat Mart and buy a full set of your race's cultural armor. I'd say dwarven armor is probably cheaper compared to some, the dark elf armor became a much rarer sight when the blue diamonds became required (and were expensive at the time).

Do these human players have access to plat they're not making casually?

[Menemas]

Dark Elves and High Elves also have recipes that are Enchanted AND Imbued. Other races seem to have some combination of the four tiers you mention. Dwarfs seem to be the only race with all four options, likely for lore reasons.

[Cecily]

Lol because lore. It's such a great explanation for arbitrary game design decisions.

Are Dwarfs not renowned smiths?

Easy enough. When you feel too accomplished and rich, delete the toon and start over. You will forever love your giant snake fangs.
