Oh, and it's hard to be taken seriously when you can't use proper grammar or elaborate on anything at all.

Anyways, it will be very interesting to see if they keep the inscriptions system exactly how it is or if they will decide to change a few things on it.

actually my way would have been. and easy at that. as they had already done it for a weekend. codes alrdy in the game. increase the drop rates and improve the quality of the drops. as far as coding goes. im been coding since the TRS-80s . and that tells me how little you actually understand the coding. and if you would like to get Psrage well there was the 1700 some number post on it. which had been elaborated on.
but if you werent able to understand my post before. maybe a little sign language would help. so if you feel not to take people serious just by the way the type. well unfortuantely you have some things to be worked out for yourself. not try to judge people to fast.

How unexpected, I got an inscription for a dagger, "Don't Think Twice" that halves the casting time of spells.

The Herbalizer · Oct 27, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

ever thought they only made it elonian items because it would be highly unfair on everyone who obtained nice items from nightfall and prophecies and did not realise inscriptions would happen? I also noticed how alot of the people winging have recent join dates and so therefore are most probably new and envious of everyone with nice stuff. I really wish I could access guild wars as I would love to buy a 15>50 crystalline sword....

Anyone know if the 20% spell recharge all mod is only for collector/green items, or is it for random items as well?

Absum · Oct 27, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

I'd still like to see "+10 armor vs. ___ dmg" inscriptions for shields.

EDIT: nevermind

Oofus · Oct 27, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

So am I right in my understanding that shields, focus items, and wands found in Elonia will be cappable of having 3 (or possibly 4) bonuses? If so does that not seem awfully unballanced compared to their Tyrian and Canthan counterparts that are limited to 2 bonuses?

Phoebe · Oct 27, 2006, 07:50 PM // 19:50

Shields focus and wands can have one inscription and one mod, so a max of 2 bonuses.

Well there is allready a shield in High End that has 2 mods and 1 inscription, for a total of 3 bonuses.

No - "Run for your Life" IS the -2 damage while in stance modifier.

It only has two bonuses.

I found a Tyrian staff with the 20% spell recharge all as an inherent modifier...not sure what that means.

Oofus · Oct 27, 2006, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Ahhh thank you, that makes sense then.

That's weird. Since this is the case, why would anyone want a 20% spell recharge for a specific attribute then? I noticed that none of those were updated to all for random items.

Seissor · Oct 27, 2006, 10:04 PM // 22:04

I have a 14^50 and a 15^50 I pulled off two swords 0.o

*tries slamming onto my crystalline* fit damnit! ffiiiiiitt....waah.....im hungry :-(

That's what I was thinking.

The 20% recharge to all spells may not be available on wands/focii, however, which would make the attribute-specific one more valuable for those items.

If so, I may rethink my weapon/focus preference and may go to a staff for that added bonus.

First of all, my join date has nothing to do with how long I've been playing the game. Nice assumptions there pal.

Second of all, just because in the past people have taken longer, or "worked" harder to get something doesnt mean the system shouldnt be changed. It's called progress. It's like saying we shouldnt change from a horse and carriage to an automobile because our forefathers had to work harder to travel anywhere so it's not fair to them.

In your way of thinking, things would never improve in the game. For example, Balthazar's faction points would have never been double recently because it wouldnt have been fair for people in the past who were only earning half the rate now. So please, why should we let the supposed value of people's stash prevent improvements in the game?

Inscriptions must be unlocked on your account before you can use them in the PvP Equipment panel. Inscriptions that provide bonuses that were previously inherent bonuses of PvP weapons are already unlocked on your account

I really like this part about it sort of a contradiction anyways how do you go about getting these inscribtions?

This would be something really new (I really didn't expect it) and a really high degree of flexibility.

It's even more flexible than that, you can put melee mods like 15^50 on staffs (don't know why you would, but you CAN). Found that out while monkeying with the weapon creator yesterday.

However, you can't put caster mods on melee weapons.

bigjimmysol · Oct 28, 2006, 12:57 AM // 00:57

So I was wondering, do weapons and offhands in fow and uw drop with the ability to put inscriptions on them now? Cause purple crystallines do drop from the larger quest chests. And what about hoh weapons that you get when you win? Just wondering if the gold crystallines that drop starting now have the potential to place a inscription on them. Or is it just those from Elona. Anybody know as of yet?
