The Covetous sentience jewel

[Vellrad]

It's not just jewels they create rarity for. It's all raid cosmetics. Horses from Dryad/Hunt, jewel from Strahd, cube from FoT, and probably still something from dreads. If they change 1 to be purchasable from runes they should change all.

Raid cosmetics serve the purpose of beign a goal to chase for bragging rights.
Creates a reason to run raid without contributing to power creep.

You might be mistaking this for the Timid jewel which was voiced by Cordovan.

Covetous sounds like someone doing an impression of Peter Lorre.

Pal, when i read "Covetous" in jewel description, i believe it's mean "Covetous", not "Timid"...

But now I am really intrigued - what, there is also the worst quality of performance and recording?! I urgently need to get the jewel you mentioned!

That's the issue with most of the jewels sadly. They're all super annoying and cartoonish, or just sound bad (dragon). Resolute, Wave and Kobold are the only ones I really like, and even kobold is love-or-hate and Wave is an acquired taste too.

I wish they'd do more "hero" voices and less gimmicky one-note "sidekick" voices because too many of them venture into jar jar territory. The good ones are based on a character, not a single character *trait*

I like kobold, dragon and inquisitive. Resolute and furious... acceptable... Not have wave currently (spended to crafting orb), so need farm for it again.
All other... well, you say absolutely correct.

I'm afraid I can't see that happening. Caught in the Web and The Fall of Truth (for the cube) don't even use the rune system at the moment, and I can't see them giving an eight-year-old expansion in an already overloaded level range, or a pack that's been updated heavily once already, an update pass in the near future.

passed it to the wrong guy who had left the raid but had not yet left the group. So there the jewel sat and nothing could be done

Raid loot passing is a HUGE problem. It's danm buggy and badly need to be fixed. If someone leaves the zone or the group, the list gets scrambled. If you have the pass list open during that scramble, who you think you're passing to ends up being someone else.

IMHO, clicking a pass should pop-up a confirm and then stuff the item into the player's inventory or (alternatively) send the item via in-game mail to cover DC'd or inventory full cases. For extra safety, it could pop-up a confirm on the recipient, too .. to cover those "oops/fake" rollers.

This solves both bad-pass and buddy-looting issues all at once.
