Put Metal Propertied Handwraps in the DDO Store

[Khurse]

Yes,before the feedback starts I would much rather see metal propertied handwraps added to the general loot tables just like every other weapon in the game.

Unfortunately I don't see that happening, and with craftable silver items available from the DDO Store, and the fact that only one quest (and only on two diffculty levels) has the potential to drop these wraps, I'm hoping to appeal to Turbines business sense and get them to add them to the store.

Based on absolutely nothing, I'd say they would easily outsell all your other silver weapons combined.

There is no good reason why the various metal property handwraps are not part of the normal loot tables. That is the base issue and the correct fix not a work around that appeals to Turbine's greed and short term profits over long term profits.

wait . . . you mean we can CRAFT on the silver weapons from the DDO store? And I thought the Flame-Touched WoP rapiers I crafted last night with stuff I bought out of Chronoscope was silly . . .

Hey . . . can you craft on one of those Cold-Iron swords that pallies use as a Holy-sword spell component?

This is not a way to fix things. Every other weapon type is in the normal loot table for metal types, so should the handwraps. It should not cost your life savings (of your character) just to get a weapon to break damage reduction. The only handwraps that can be used (which are still rare to farm out of shadow crypt) are pathetic compared to any other DR breaker. Their only redeeming quality is that they are metalline and not just silver.

Yes.


I've picked up a few Blessed Silver and Blessed Cold Iron q-staffs for my rogue. Note the base craftable item is "good" and "silver" or "cold iron", meaning you can make a ....

Axiomatic (blessed cold iron) of Chaotic Outsider Bane Quarterstaff (no need for a good component since the weapon already does good damage).

Though I'm going Holy / Law/Evil Outsider Bane on the blessed-silver.

Hey . . . can you craft on one of those Cold-Iron swords that pallies use as a Holy-sword spell component?

If it is the store one? Dunno, maybe? I'll try later.

Yes.

Yup, and with the new crafting system this oversight should be corrected and these formerly junk items should be added to the normal loot tables.

I'd agree.
But I think there's a post from Devs around somewhere with people complaining they're not in the general loot tables and they pretty much said "hey,that's why we put them in that quest"
They've had more than enough time to put them in the general loot tables if they were going to do so, obviously they're not going to.

I would *much* rather have them in the general loot tables, but if they're not going to put them in the general loot tables I'd rather they be in the store than in one,single quest on two difficulty levels.

Hell no. The silver weapons shouldn't even be there, but silver weapons are pretty common so it's not a big deal. Although they either shouldn't be be craftable, or the NPC text specifying that purchased items aren't craftable should be corrected.

Such high powered, rare items like craftable silver wraps should not be in the store. Down that path lies the Pay2Win madness of traditional F2P games.


Silver wraps should drop just like silver weapons. The store is not a valid solution, and would be worse than the status quo.

If you buy them from the DDO store yes, if you buy them from the vendor,No.

I see what you are saying but I am not satisfied with monks being different than every other class weapon-wise where they do not have the same opportunities.

If people want to flaunt the "coding issue" explanation I have seen around the forums, I ask this. Why when the coding issue was fixed do we only see non-named silver wraps dropping in one quest? Why not put them in the loot table like all other weapons?

I wont buy them from the store on principle alone. Every other melee class can get boss beaters on the AH cheap, and loot / buy silver weapons regularly.

Anyway,

wouldn't metal handwraps just be... um, knuckledusters?
