Requested Dev Clarification on crafting stuff

[Cyr]

This is a request for developer clarification on some things involving the crafting system that currently work one way, but we really do not know if they are going to change or not adding disincentive to bother with the system.


BtA items currently can be used as blanks that are BtA
Superior store bought blanks to item found blanks (good +cold iron/ good + silver)
Guild Augment slots are kept when deconned and do not raise the ML of the item
Superior crafted handwraps from one quest on it's two lowest difficulty settings (DA)
And for the bonus question...


Tolero recently mentioned that item ML's are NOT working as intended for crafted items and they should be lower then similarly looted items. A full clarification of the intended ML formula for crafted items and what type of looted items this was referring to (ie BtA, RR, non-RR). Also, are previously crafted items going to be upgraded to have their proper (lower) ML's when this is changed?

Pretty sure this was confirmed not WAI.

THis has also been confirmed as WAI. Guild slots remain and have never effected the ML of an item of weapon.

From the DDO Compendium Crafting Guide.
"Even with disjunction dust, some aspects of an item will be retained: guild augment slots, permanent damage to the item, bound state, and the material an item is made of will remain. So if you key a slightly damaged bound-to-character “Adamantine Greatsword with a Tiny Guild Augment Slot”, it would still be a slightly damaged bound-to-character “Adamantine Greatsword with a Tiny Guild Augment Slot” after passing through the deconstruction device – except it would be keyed for crafting!

Cheers on the link.

Edit: I note that this was supposed to be 'fixed' already though. Wonder if this slipped through or a decision was made to change the intended operation?
