U13 -> Tomes kept through TRing

[Cyr]

Yup, among the other interesting points of the release notes...

3 time end full end rewards for various quest chains, end rewards for DD and Mindsunder with named loot, and a rather bewildering change to madstone boots that someone will have to explain to me.

[voodoogroves]

Source?

[voodoogroves]

Nevermind - Lamannia threads were showing in general.

[dkyle]

Awesome!

Figures I just TR'd my Barb, though... fortunately, only +3 or better in him was a +3 int tome...

[grodon9999]

OMG . . . my fighter has three +4s . . . I need to change my shorts.

Yeah, I am excited because it means I can finally start eating good tomes on my main!

[voodoogroves]

Ok so my Madstones will now ROCK ON MY LORD OF BLADES

[voodoogroves]

!@#$!@#$ Ioun Stone from Dreaming Dark every 3rd time?

[Ninety]

I'm curious about how the tomes will be effected.

if I eat them now, will I still get the benefit after I TR post u13?

do I have to eat the tomes post u13 then TR?

[TheDearLeader]

Zomg. Not to mention Veteran Status 7 -

I'm very interested in U13. Still disappointed about 12.3, but we'll see what they've managed to break.

[voodoogroves]

I'm reading these so stream of consciousness here but wow ...

Orchard of the Macabre

All chests in the Orchard of the Macabre that had a chance to drop Sigil pieces, Tattered Tapestries, Tome of Untold Legends pages, or Shield of Legend fragments now have a chance to drop any of the above. If a chest previously had a specific Sigil piece, Tome page, or Shield fragment associated with it, that chest will remain the best source for that particular item. However, these items can now drop from any of the above chests.

I think I may cry manly tears of joy.

do I have to eat the tomes post u13 then TR?

lol, no idea.

It did not specify that it was only newly eaten tomes, but I would request someone on Lammania test it out ASAP

[xoowak]

Guaranteed ioun stone on 3rd completions of Dreaming Dark is interesting. Gonna have to start farming that a lot now. Hopefully they'll bind in the same way as a normal one, and not on aquire.

I'm glad my characters that need them already have boots, because anyone who's not a DC caster will want them now. Unless the change means that you can now madstone in defensive stance...

[Saravis]

It'll be nice to not be afraid to use madstone on a melee/casting class.

What I'm most shocked by, though, is the fact that ioun stones are now a reward option for 3rd completion of Dreaming Dark, thats just wow. One of the single most difficult to obtain items in the game just got a significant boost in obtain-ability.

It'll also mean I can UMD while madstoned on my rogue. I may never take them off now.

Bleh who cares if you can create a new toon at level 7. If you have 3000 Favor you are probably not too worried about banging out another 3 levels on a non-TR lowbie.

I am trying to figure out what the morale bonus change means...Does anything else grant a morale bonus to str/con?

And fast with the streak too. You want the coin lord and house K favor anyway, may as well get the renown as you do.

[grodon9999]

Not a fan of the Madstone change.

You know what the moral bonus change is all about? Personally the item became worse for my main ignoring the moral thing as I am still trying to figure out what else grants that now....
