ValeriaOfCapri Report post Posted January 26, 2009 My experience has been that it is extremely expensive to mine, smelt and mold these items (60k gc ea ore for the books) plus Matter conglom or sword needed to harv and that there is virtually no demand for them in game. Just wondering if some armors, weapons, rings, etc. could be added that will make this research and harvesting useful. If this has been raised before, I apologize for the post. Didn't see anything specific on this in search results. Val Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS: I would love to see some wearable rings - even if its a crappy bronze ring, it would be a nice addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aislinn Report post Posted January 27, 2009 No point to make Night Visors when Dchims drop them. Not everybody can or wants to fight desert chims to get one in a drop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eternity Report post Posted January 27, 2009 I mean no point to making them when you can buy them for under the cost of ingreds from someone who got the drop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow_runner Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I guess I am one of the 'rare' ones. I have taken both of these just to make my own bronze set. Beyond that it would be nice to see some bronze rings or medallions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Response from that indicates most only do copper/tin/bronze for their own use, and rarely at that. That is exactly the point I was trying to make. There are so few uses for tin+copper=bronze that it is cheaper to buy items or wait for drops. Rarely high level players will do just enough to make items for themselves which makes mining tin and copper virtually useless to everyone else. Hence the argument that there is not enough demand (read as NO demand) to justify the cost associated with researching on these. I was trying to spur players into thinking of new uses which could be added at some point to create some demand for tin and copper. And yes, rings and medallions would be good along with maybe some mid-lvl weapons and armors that are a combination of bronze and another metal.
