Greensteel mistake at last point

[quijenoth]

Ok so I know what I did wrong with my latest greensteel item but wondered what options are now available to me.
Was making my Fighter a greensteel Lit2 falchion ready for TR to barbarian.

Completed falchion up to large ingredients,
Made the Good Blast shard
*mistake* applied to good blast shard to the weapon before completing the Shocking Blast.
Made the Shocking Blast shard
Combined Shocking Blast shard with weapon and got failed combine.


So heres my options as I see it...
1) post a ticket in hopes to fix the mistake
2) remake a goodblast shard (once I have the LDS) and make the double imbued shard in hopes it will overright the previous good blast shard, (no idea if this will work)
3) remake good blast shard, and rebuilt falchion from scratch, correcting the mistake in the process.

anyone had any experiences with this ?

Unfortunately once you combine the superior shard to the weapon, its done. There is no overwrite, your best option is 3 (start from scratch). Its annoying, but many many people do this and are stuck with what they have made.

I don't think there is anything you can do at this point if you already applied the shard.

(raises glass)...here's to one day hoping they add some kind of greensteel deconstruction for when things like this happen.

And here's a FANTASTIC planner that gives VERY DETAILED crafting instructions to make an item, best one there is IMO, even I can understand and use it!

yeah was using the planner, just not paying too much attention to it - oh well it was only a filler weapon for when I TR at 12 even without the lightning strike its still a pretty decent weapon at those levels. Epic AGA waits for me at 20 and ill be TRing back to a tank build once i have Epic Chimeras Fang.

One of my designers is currently in the process of converting the Shroud system over to use a barter style interface, which should reduce these sorts of problems in the long run.

He's also creating a partial-deconstruction system, where you can crush a greensteel item back into a random assortment of ingredients, currently around half of what it took to create a weapon of that tier. (Subject to change! Insert Still In Development Disclaimer here!)

A single shard tier three weapon like the one you mention would (with the current plan) be turned back into 4-8 random smalls, 4-8 random mediums, and 4-8 random larges.

Say hi to Vargouille! He'd shake your hand, but he only has tentacles.

Sweet! Thanks for the update on that.

Oops, hi Vargouille, I'm fine with shaking tentacles.

Having just screwed up a recent supreme shard, I am definitely looking forward to this!

Well done and can't wait.

Wow Eladrin...... You will get HUGE kudos from the DDO forumites for this one if it comes to be.... Well until they only get 2 large bones and a med horn from their Min II decon.....


No really though, this is good news! Nice head-up!

Super awesome!!! Does the greensteel deconstruct also work on TOD rings? Please say yes! The rings are exclusive so if you want to change what you craft into them you have to get a new one

At first I thought this read "I just got the madstone rage ALL OVER my pants" but the original is just as good.

Fantastic, in almost any form. As long as this is still subject to change, would so appreciate having an option to forgo getting any of the small/med/large mats back and instead just revert to a clean greensteel blank.

"Incredible Potential can be restored to Tower of Despair Rings, wiping the ring clean so you can imbue it with different effects."

Edit:
I should note that these changes aren't going to be going live very soon - we need a very long test cycle for these recipes, since I can't imagine what it would be like if we totally broke greensteel crafting. Long term plans.
