alchemy

[seferon]

ok there are a couple of things that i would love to see in reguards to alchemy 2 actualy

1 mystic ash is a uncommon drop from mobs in hhk i would request that it be added to a few other zones seeing as the only way of advancing the skill past 230 is via mystic ash body of rekaj combine :toot:

2 add the potion that is listed on wiki the 50 to all resists potions via the combine of all the potion resist into one potion :dance:

Thats like 250 resist points in 1 buff. Talking overpowered imho!

Not really considering the absolutely insane amount of clicking involved in alchemy to begin with, as well as the extremely prohibitive cost of doing it combined with the fact that not many things it makes actually sell (and also partly because of the ridiculous amount of combines needed per skillup at the higher end, which if I was an alchemist, or anyone with sense for that matter, WTT Mystic ash for body by rekaj). If it's too powerful, lower it, seems pretty cut and dry.

Could care less about the combine, but 250 resist in 1 buff slot is pretty crazy paired with pot4

then fix it and implement it. theres a void there atm. if the previously slotted potion for that void is overpowered, then the solution isn't to have leave a gaping hole.

I really don't see any alternative than to remove it. Unless you make it not stack with SoS and similar buffs

 

[seferon]

how about lowering the total it buffs per to say 30 that way for single resists the single potion would be better for multipule resists its not overpowered and still usefull

You are missing the point. It's a single slot and it stacks with all.....

 

[seferon]

no actuly thats exactly my point is that its a nice potion might actuly sell and would be usefull in some situations btw matt its 250 click per 10 douse

ok, so lower the amount of resists a lil bit. make it cost more. but give us some other way of getting past 230 in alchemy.

theres a lot of buffs that buff more than 1 resist. Its not like I would say "naw, s'ok, don't gimme SoS, i've got my resist potion"

How often do you actually need more than one or 2 resist types against any given mob?

so we've got half the people here to say its overpowered, and half who say its 3/5ths or 4/5ths worthless. None the less, the problem is that theres not enough combines, not the actual spell cast. tweak the stupid spell as much as it needs.

 

[seferon]

tbh id take any combine that would allow me to raise past 230 if theres no hope in that going in 2000 combines of mystic ash for a 250 skill is just down right stupid

1400 down, 600 to go. God I hate HHK now.

I would like to see one of the following considered:

1. Mystic Ash added to the loot tables of mobs in an additional zone. It would be nice if it could be a zone of a lower level than HHK to allow lower level alchemists access to the drops but I fear this would likely just result in the lvl 65 alchemists or people farming for plat just flattening the zone over and over just for the ash to the detriment of the lower levels trying to obtain ash or just exp.

2. The all resist potion being looked at for effect balance and the recipe modified to include a dropped component with a drop profile (level of mobs dropping, frequency of drop etc) similar to that of Mystic Ash. The base combine level and trivial level being put on par with Rekaj.

3. Add Mystic Ash to another zones drop table and possibly increase the overall drop rate. Add in a new potion (or set of potions) that start at skill level 240. These would involve combining a Body by Rekaj with resist potions of each type (and possibly another dropped component) to make Rekaj's Superiority, a potion combining the HP buff with resists. This combine would never be trivial thus burning up many of the faster dropping Mystic Ashes in failed attempts and preventing a flood of Body By Rekaj or the new potion (Im assuming Wiz doesnt want BBR to be more widely available/used). Alternately a potion resulting from the combination of Body by Rekaj and a single resist type (or even AC) could be created similar to the multi resist version.

These enhanced Rekaj's would overwrite the stand alone resist buff potion buffs (not stack) thereby not adding a greater capacity to buff resists but rather free up a buff slot you would consume buffing with BBR and a greater resist potion. Ultimately the goal being to add options for alchemists seeking to reach grand master and giving the alchemists something special to make when they reach the top of their trade.

I won't be tweaking up the drop rate, but I will be adding ash to another zone.
