What's Wrong With This Picture?

[Feylina]

And you thought farming Running with the devils was easy...

[Burtle]

Yeah..I pulled a +2 Cha on NORMAL ... guess I wasn't the only one to be kinda surprised

[sultro]

oh, please tell me that making tomes level required made them that level of loot. that is too funny.

[Flintsen]

That must be very rare, I've never ever seen a +2 drop out of there. Better go play the lotto

I pulled a +2 tome in a quest much lower than 17 last night as well.

Given the fact that +2 tomes are now a permanent part of the ddo store, having it be possible for them to drop closer to their required lvl seems reasonable.

[shadosatblackphoenix]

Reasonable? Yes.

But considering it wasn't in the patch note even though it is a rather major change, I would say it was not done on purpose.

Hey Turbine, ever heard of regression testing?

They probably think regression testing is to behave like children and bang on the keyboard and see what happens.

Given some Fortune 50 companies don't know, what are the chances they do?

So a +2 tome drops and you are complaining?

I find that odd....

[Emili]

On the contrary... I seen no less that six +2 tomes possibly quite more drop in the Von 4 lava-pit/acid chest in 2005/2006.

Fact, +2 tomes were dropping in places like von 2-4, threnals etc... any level 8+ quest back then. My original Emili sported one before ever getting to a real raid.

When the developers were speaking about introducing 1750 favor and 32 point builds one of the discontentions among the player base was - the character who garnered the favor remained 28 points and seemed like became dated ... the Developers then offered that character a +2 tome as a character reward for the efforts. In that light people mentioned +2 tomes dropped in places like von 2-4, XC, Threnals, etc... and the designer's reaction was - well they should not be... thus the loot tables were changed.

Revisting this now... the ml use on a +2 tome now is seven, One thing I may wonder is if so is now it a level seven item?

[Rumbaar]

I see nothing wrong Other than a place to go farm. I've never seen a TOME in my chest yet, of any kind.

You didn't have any +1 level potions active?

[Mockduck]

Being as lots of +2 tomes dropped (for people other than me) long before the Vale was implemented in DDO, it would make sense to see it in higher level quests.
