    Default Tome Use Accept Box

    I've seen this mentioned on the boards before but last night it happened to me. I traded a +6 CON Ring for a +2 Dex tome I picked up during loot weekend. I went to the mail box, clicked on the tome and poof, its used. Thankfully, the guildie I'm trading to is very understanding, but now I've got a +2 DEX tome on my sorcerror!? I contacted in game support who said they counld not help me. (No surprise there.) I guess my click to drag and drop it to the mail was screwy and came up as double click instead of click <drag> and drop.

    Can we PLEASE get a "Do you want to use this tome Yes/No" dummy box before tomes are applied given they are 100% permanent. This is no different that when you level up / are these the skills and feats you want?

    I'm going back to my cave to cry.

    Sorry to hear about this but at least now I know to make sure to trade in person or have a tome mailed to the person I want to use it on.

    Or at least an interuptable progress bar like when you recall which says "Reading tome...".
    Code:

     Semolina - Elf Rog 13/Ftr 1             on              Rava - Drow Sorceror 7

    It could still happen in that case as you are trying to drag the tome from your inventory to the trade window.

    I believe he was trying to send a tome to someone else and consumed it instead.

     Sil - Human Paladin 14              Lava Divers           Tad - Drow Wizard 14
     Semolina - Elf Rog 13/Ftr 1             on              Rava - Drow Sorceror 7

    I agree we should have a confirmation box on tomes. Seems like a reasonable and (hopefully) easy to implement request.

    It takes up 48 hours over a 6-day (min) period to read a tome in PnP .. we should have a 48-hour progress bar when reading tomes, afterwhich it doesn't become active until another week has passed!


    seriously, some sort of confirmation wouldn't be a bad thing to implement.

    Sounds like a very reasonable request to me.

    I think this is about the same as the issue with people selling items for vendors before the lock feature. There should be a fix, however at the same time people should just simply watch what they're doing.

    Agreed. Confirmation box on consumables we can't get back is a good thing.

    I mean, we have a confirmation on bound items, why not on non-removable items like tomes?

    Never had the problem happen to me, but I am constantly worried I might do it to one of the 4-6 tomes I keep in the bank for new guys and trading purposes.

    So on that note /signed
