Deconstruction of shroud Weapons

[ubis46]

Many of us have put hours into framing and making shroud weapons. As you at DDO have saw fit not to release all weapons at the same time and are going to change some of the properties of those we have already built in Mod 9. I think its only fair you allow us to deconstruct the ones we have made and get back the basic ingredients it took to make the shards to enhance the weapon blank. I don’t mine loosing the shards, the weapon blank or the ingredients it took to make the weapon blank, but as large devil scale seem to be the hardest of all ingredients to get and most needed ingredients to craft. This would be a major fact in rebuilding the weapons we would have built in the first place if we knew they were available when crafting became available. Prime example; most of us would have never built great swords if great axes were available. Most of us would have never made Mineral 2 slashing weapons over Mineral 2 blunt weapons if we knew you were going to change it in Mod 9.

This has been asked for ever since new weapons were added to the greensteel list. I think this one was on the 'maybe we'll do it list, as we never knew the player base wanted it'.

At the very least, I'd like to be able to get my signet stone back plus 2 large ingredients as part of a greensteel deconstruction option. Then I could (re)craft another item and I wouldn't need quite as much time invested in shroud-farming. A deconstructed dual-shard item should give back more than a non-dual shard item.

It shouldnt just be for weapons. Think about how in DDO you can craft an item for a inventory slot and then later find something else you'd like for that slot. It would be nice to be able to re-craft an item using salvage from the item you are scrapping.

We are not going to get GS deconstruction. Not rumor, Kate Paiz said this (look here).

She also said (talking about another topic) that things change and what is true today may not be true tomorrow. Nevertheless, today, GS deconstruction is not in the works and is not even in any plans.
