Cultural trade skills.

[Sorn]

The restrictions on casting the imbue spells? (As in having to find a brell-worshipping cleric to imbue a ruby)

I believe they fixed the bug that allowed any religion to scribe any others spells sometime in late luclin or early PoP. I know that my cleric on live had a few diff ones besides his own of mith marr.

While this server is as intended. its not classic and despite a large thread in the bug forum, it seams this will be the way it is [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its a shame how bad some of the cultural armor is. By the time someone is capable of affording or gathering all the items needed to do the combine, they could much easily have gotten something better. Needs way more stats. Zero MR on the set I'm trying to make; zero MR for a full set of armor is brutal.

It's a shame; it kind of seems like cultural tradeskills (like most of them) are kind of worthless. Can be pretty expensive to get up the skill needed to make them; by the time you can, no one is interested in the items, as it's easier and cheaper to buy farmed loot that has better stats. Also, you have worship the "right" deity for your race in order to make use of the Imbued versions. Too bad for me...I am a wood elf who chose not to worship Tunare; I left EQ before cultural tradeskills & didn't really know. This is one of those things it seems like EQ eventually "fixed" - making cultural separate from religion, where classic isn't necessarily better.

For the most part. I like tailored armor, I have 5 pcs on my wolfelf drui. That's an exception though. Cultural plate isn't bad in and of itself, but yes apart from the recipe. Cultural weapon recipes are good, but the actual weapons barely qualify as newbie starting weapons. Tradeskills are still good, not expensive to raise to a point, just takes time which isn't a bad thing. It's a lot better than in a lot of newer games, like where I left off with gw2 after the first year, crafting was just destroyed by saturation, and mats were way more valuable than the product.
