    Default Any word yet on horn uses

    I am trying to be patient with all the rumors about what horns are going to be used for but it's getting very frustrating. I did 5 completions yesterday and got 7 large horns and 5 more mediums, bringing my total to over 30 large and close to 90 medium. It seems to me that an ingredient is what the loot table generated and I'm sick of leaving a completion run with 2 large horns. If they turn out to being used to take apart equipment that we somehow made a mistake on I'll probably end up in orbit. How about a heads up?

    All that we have been told is that they will become useful in Mod 7.

    I think they even went so far as to say they will be "highly sought after"

    i think the only way ill like them is if i can use them in place of another large. i really hate getting things that have no point in game right now when i have so many items i need to make still and have up to tier 2 made on them and only need large ingredients now, mostly the rare scales that r needed for like everything

    I can think of some, every time I think about the Abbott raid.

    You did FIVE completions and got SEVEN large horns?

    Wow, you have the worse luck I've ever seen... Remind me to not stand anywhere near you during a lightning storm.

    I do wish they would just take them out of the loot table until the next mod... That HAS to be a change that would take ten seconds

    Let me say this..... We've heard the Rumors.....


    IF Horns are used for Deconstructing, it will be the Single largest mistake this game has seen since the Abbot raid.... Perhaps Bigger....

    I have over 30 Medium and around 15 Large right now.... I have ONE mistake I'd like to correct......

    Some Ideas...

    Than can be Exchanged 1:1 for a Small Fee.

    They can be used to add an Additional Effect to our crafted weapons and Items. Putting a Horn in the Machine with our Item and a Power cell will add sme more DUrability.. Or some extra Damage.... Or and additional Effect......

    They can be used in the Standard Crafting alters to Imbue Standard weapons with special ABilities.

    If I end up with 45+ Ways to dissasemble one Item, I'm not going to be a happy camper.

    Don't even get me started about these horns. Everytime I pull one I just want to give a big middle finger to Turbine. I think it is an insult to the player base that these things still drop. Seems like it would take 10 seconds to merely take them out of the loot table yet they still are dropping.

    It be nice if they were additional effect receipes. Like medium horns would give you a prefix mod Vorpal, Wounding / Weaking / Maladroit. Then have large horns give you a suffix mod like puncturing, smithing, banishing, disruption, bone breaking, enfeelbling. etc..


    Since they drop so frequently the pre-fix and suffix would be random. Then allow you to continually rework it using another horn to get another chance at the type you like.

    Default Bad rumor mill....start!

    1.) I heard they could be traded in for PONIES!

    2.) I heard that you will need a certain combination of them to open MONK class.

    3.) Used for buying guild housing.

    4.) Used for buying bank slots!

    5.) Will be turned into a collectible instead of an ingredient...remove them from you ingredient bags before MOD 7 goes live or your bag will become broken beyond repair!

    6.) They will be used for changing your weapon into rapiers, great axes and heavy and light repeaters.

    7.) Collect enough of them and turn them in for an essence of cleansing.

    8.) They will cause lots of speculation, become highly valued and people will hawk their mother for them in hopes they will amount to something.

    You'll be able to trade them in for Superior Potency VIII/Spell Pen VIII, which is why those items weren't included in the loot tables. Not enough room for them with small, medium, and large horns running around.

    9.) You will be able to equip the horn as a weapon and stab the person who gave it to you (If you could find that "person").

    Be useful if a horn can be added in the process of putting two dual shard items together, to make the dominance reverse, thus negative/positive ability over a elemental ability

    In my opinion, even if they announced they might become useful in the future, Horns are only there to slow down the rate of Medium and Large Ingredients people are pulling. Right now, for me, my rate of Horns is exactly 33.3% of my pulls, and on my main character, my worst run was my last, out of 5 chests that can give Horns, I ended up with 4 Horns, 2 Mediums and 2 Lagres, quite frustrating.

    Actually check dev tracker. Eladrin recently posted one use, but stated there are still more we don't know about.
