Devs: about Soul Gems. One more time.

**Venar** · 03-09-2009, 06:44 AM

About once a month, i ask about the futur of soul gems (the end result of a Trap the Soul spell). Never got an answer.
With the recent mod 9 previews, i'm hoping maybe somebody will feel genereous with an answer!

Anyways, i even prepared a multiple choice answer, so answering will only take 2 seconds!

a) Soul Gems will see some use in Mod 9. Stay tune!

b) Mod 9 won't adress Soul Gems. But we have plans for them in the futur, they are somewhere on our to-do-list. Hold on to them and keep the faith!

c) We currently don't have any plans to further extend on Soul Gems. They were added for flavor and will remain that way.

Thanks.

Behold the power of cheese... even devs can't help but comment when the magical substance is envoked.

I don't have a problem IF the spell was just added for flavor, and they never introduce crafting with them...IF they make the spell usable by selling the comps for it...as is I'd love to use it regularly but it's insane to attempt to collect that many kyber shards.

**vainangel** · 03-09-2009, 12:16 PM

What about regular gems?
I thought Diamonds could be used very well in crafting.
What else is my massive gem collection going to be used for...
hey whats that? Is it shiny and collectible?

GIMME!

You forgot:
Option D: when we give you the complete crafting system we've been promising you for several mods (in other words, never).

Didn't you know? We will get it in M8, this summer, along with the continuation of the "Invasion of Shavarath" storyline.

Sorry to steal your thunder. Mass Charm is back in Mod 9.

**Phidius** · 03-09-2009, 01:24 PM

Eladrin responds to a question with a specific answer...

Then he responds to something that wasn't even addressed as a question...

Thank you for the responses, Eladrin. Thunder was meant to be stolen, or it wouldn't come second every time.

**Gordo** · 03-09-2009, 01:25 PM

What about refuge armor "crafting"? Will it be made less random or addressed at all or left as is?

Thanks

The design theory behind the Dragontouched Armor was that it would be essentially randomly generated armor with three enchantments (instead of the "prefix / suffix" system that normal randomly generated armor has) that gives the owner the option to "reroll" each enchantment individually until the owner gets things that they find "good enough".

Once you have a "good enough" piece of armor, it was expected that people would then try to make a second one that was "perfect".
