Question about new Cannith Crafting
Sep 6th, 2016 at 12:36pm
Print Post  
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, my search skills=not so good and didn't have the chance to check before Lama closed yesterday... In the latest Lama build could you still trade lesser essences for new ones 4:1 or is it fixed to the usual 5:1? Should I turn my greater essences to lesser before U32 hits live? Anyone? Thank you.

I imagine if you could ever trade them at 5:1 that is something that will be fixed before it goes life. 5:1 is the only ratio that makes sense.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Last I heard it was still 4:1 on Lamma.  Which if it goes live that way does mean you can trade your greaters now at 1:5 and then trade your lessers for the new essence at 4:1.  But do you really have that kind of time on your hands?  I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get to a high enough skill with what I have on hand to make anything I want for myself*, and I'm not capped in the current system.  Close to it, but not quite there.  There's little point in reaching the new cap since making unbound shards is just about pointless unless you have a large pile of duped PEDs.

Clicking the convert button is not difficult to script in AHK. 

Turbine has taught us that competence in the use of AHK (or other scripting languages) is very useful several times in the past and continues to reinforce its value with every decision to make players tap the lever to get a pellet of kibble.

If you're going to keep playing DDO for any length of time, you don't have time to NOT learn to automate this sort of thing with a scripting language.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things.

Other companies will settle for shitting out garbage, Turdbin actually prefers to. Especially if they can get us to buy it, that just cracks them up.

Devs do not care what players want - they already have an agenda and give out token gestures so the paladins can feel worthy.

They've changed it to 5:1 for the lessers. *Waves at Turbine staff reading this post*

You yourself said it was still 4:1 on Lamannia a few posts above.

I'd go to Lama if I could but it's closed.

The only thing I have to go on is last report of what the conversion rate is...yours.

What I said was that the last I had heard it was 4:1.

Um, no.  WeHaveLived posted after me that it had been changed to 5:1.  So that is the last report you have to go on.

Me, I don't care if it's 4:1 or 5:1, since I have no intention of trying to find some advantage by wasting time doing conversions (either scripted or manual Coaly, it's still a waste of time IMO) before U32 goes live.

I was on Lama a week ago. At that time, the conversion said 4:1, but a stack of 10k turned into 2k, regardless.

I don't really have that many greaters, majority of my essences are from deconstructing loot in the last 2 months so 90% lessers, should have time to convert the rest. And thanks for the info!
