U50 Preview 1: Scroll/Seal/Shard Loot Revamp

[mikarddo]

A) Are the heroic versions of the items being updated as well? If yes, is the SoS being nerfed?
B) Mythic bonus, check, but what about reaper bonus? Some players spend a lot of time farming items with both reaper and mythic bonus so its an important aspect.

Some items are indeed updated, for example, heroic Might of the Abishai items are slightly updated (set bonus is now different). VoN, too. Web of Chaos items have been tweaked a bit as well.
I don't think SoS or ESoS are changing.

Can someone with Lammania access post other screenshots of the updated gear? I have a bunch of gear I could screenshot and share, but I'm away from my gaming PC until Monday. By then I imagine it will be too late.

No. Devs have said several times (in this thread and elsewhere) that SoS and eSoS are not being touched.

Please this! I can only really play on weekends, and would love to be able to talk about these items.

I'm taking them now but it's going to take some time to cut and paste them to make them easily readable.

On a side note, all of the new epic Redfens gear is currently either broken or displaying wrong in the altar.

I just skimmed through the new epic S/S/S loot, I don't have the time or the concern to look at all the effects or what not but I noticed a couple things... the epic red fens items are still marked BTC on acquire, I didn't check legendary. Epic Winter's Wrath is still marked BTC. Epic Roderic's Wand is marked BTC.

Also and this is just an extra, don't know if you can or even want to fit it in... maybe someday... but it occurred to me we don't have a lot of named heavy crossbows (that are not a part of identical weapon suites) and I thought Hellfire Crossbow has some super awesome artwork it would be great if Hellfire was scaled to a Heavy Crossbow and Chronoscope got another option.

On a similar note heroic Staff of Nat Gann really needs at least one damage effect. I mean seriously, you are so much better off having all those armor effects on your gear than using that staff. I mean you can even equip the Sworn Silver Quarterstaff two levels lower and put an augment in it and it will be better than a minimum level 4 raid weapon. ?!

Thank you very much for this! I will attempt to wait patiently.

Likely because it’s the only one that has remained useful as the years have gone by (...)

I don't agree here. I have been using eSoS, Epic Storm, Epic Thornlord, Epic Dusk Heart, Epic Ring of Spell Storing until now, either as a main item or a clickie - and that's with all those shiny new items that were created over last years. Even Epic Marilith Chain or some other clickies (like Mask of Comedy, Robe of Diabolist or Wolf Whistle) still have some use for me.
But I generally agree that most of old content stuff is garbage now, so it's good for the game they are being updated.

You only need the Star Frags for Legendary upgrade, for Epic you just needs Tokens of the Twelve.

No u need Greater tokens of the twelve which drop in only 3 raids

Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this. Would the ESoS me missing here though or am I overlooking something?

I did not see any Sands items in the altar, so I don't know if they exist or not.
