Will Secondary tradeskills be ready for launch?

Well, today is Friday .. launch is Tuesday.
The changes expected for beta have not been added yet, even though we've been told treasured adornments will be added and tinkering skillups/raw amnts should be atleast "looked" at.

Might be me, but 46 combines for one skillup (10 to 11) is a bit much ...

I'm going with no, secondary tradeskills (and much more) will not be anywhere near ready for launch.

I think that would be a safe bet, Ever.

Was it T6 adv Carp books that did not come out till after KoS?

Yep, those were the ones, although they did a bang-up job when they got them out. And when Writs were removed there was no plan to put them right back in... Dymus listened to us screaming and did the project himself.

I predict that the current round of changes will go in Monday. I further predict that there will be tweaking after launch, although I don't think they'll need as much tweaking as, say, KoS recipes did, or the complete reitemization of GU 24 did.

GG on Rushed Beta #4!

Seriously, major changes like this should not be going in the day before release, it's absolutely retarded. Beta Test on Live, FTL.

I think they will change (as you said) things on Monday, but .. I think the skillup will still be incorrectly done (46 combines to get one skillup at level 2 is way off IMO) and once complained, the skillup rates will change two to three weeks later (GU30) in EZ-Mode for those who waited ...

Looks like transmuting /might/ be ready for launch, they've reduced raws needed etc and fixed the adornments in my book atleast..
Tinkering however, hasn't been adjusted at all, including the expected mana batteries.

Ok, I understand that to start Tinkering, I'll need a ton of T2 raws, but WTF do you need for transmuting. Recipe calls for Ulteran Powder and Lapis Lazuli Fragments, exactly where do I get those?

Thanks

The fragments are transmuted treasured items, think powder is too. I think the infusions are from legendary and mana from fabled. I didn't mess with transmuting much, moreso tinkering, but that seems to be in the same state (if not worse) than what it started in.

I appreciate it, but that doesn't tell me anything.

Do they drop?

Do I harvest them?

Are they made from something else, and if so what and how?

Thanks
