Reading a +6 Tome at level 7 and it grows with you

[LuKaSu]

As it stands, if you read a +6 Int tome, right before TRing, you would get expanding effects as you level. At level 3, since it's the first level you could use a tome, it is treated as a +1 tome. At level 7, it jumps up to a +2 tome, etc., until you get up to whatever level you need for a +6 tome to take effect (23?). How about making it so normal tomes can grow with you too. Read a +3 tome at level 7, and you get an immediate +2 bonus, that becomes the full +3 at level 11 (the first level where you could have taken a +3 tome).

I agree, tomes should have no ML to read. The bonus is already locked to your level.

For this reason, /signed



Edit: that doesn't mean I'm in favour of current in game drop rates of tomes in general, and doesn't mean I'm in favour of them being in the store in the current way. If anything, in game ones should drop more often, but be ML as they are now, and store bought ones should have no ML but apply as you level. That way you are actually paying for convenience rather than it being disguised as a convenience purchase by effectively pushing you into paying cash by extreme unlikelihood in game. I'd be far more likely to buy them if they were a bit easier to get in game and a TP version was no more powerful but more convenient to use.

/signed. all it does is sell more tomes.

however, if this is implemented, i'd like a blurb in the stat block saying what the largest tome you've eaten is. I forget sometimes :P

Lol, and this

[Wildseed]

/signed read tomes early now that they're already regulated by level, and a small blurb as you hover over the stat that says of (# of highest tome) so we'll be able to tell

This would be nice.

If you hover over your ability score on the character page, it tells you the "tome effect" for that ability.

Is that what you were talking about?

only if you are already at the level the +x applies unfortunately so before level 11 you won't be able to see if you ate an +2 or a +3 ....

[RD2play]

ohh .. right

Signed - if you can see somewhere which ones you already ate

had my tomes missing when I did a TR GM gave me what was missing but sadly could not use any of them until said ml...

But Turbine won't change this. They make much more money selling the newbs a +1 supreme at level 3 and then a +2 at level 7, etc..

[Ungood]

Store Tomes should have no ML.

Dropped Tomes Should have an ML.

That way people would not try to save +6 tomes for their level 7 alts or what have you. As it stands in game, if you are high enough level to farm it, you are high enough level to use it, and that works.

Store Tomes should not have an ML, which would be smart, as that would increase the options for players to buy higher + store tomes at earlier levels.

[ssgcmwatson]

This is a great idea (and +1 to the idea that you should be able to see your eventual max tome bonus as your level up a TR)

I'd also like the idea to apply to skill tomes.
