Drachma eq updates

Postby Driven » Wed Apr 24, 2019 10:42 am

Ladies and gentlemen, we have released a significant update to the drachma gear to bring it up to snuff with the current state of the game. A number of existing items have been either updated to something more appropriate or have been replaced altogether with a new item, as to not upset the balance of items available for each class. These changes should be reflected in the original shop that the item was sold in. In addition to updating/replacing older items, we have added two new items per class, which are available from a new vendor east of Moonglum. Tylvaen Thunderclaw gives his kind greetings.

=======================================================================

Several notes:
- I have setup Tylvaen to buy drachma items at a 90% return and he will remain this way until after the rebirth shop goes in and eqsets have settled out.

- I am painfully aware of how difficult it is to craft T2 and T3 runes, so I will make myself available to the best of my abilities to remove runes from older items that have been antiquated by these eq changes. Please try the smith's proc in AH town before asking an immort to get involved, though.

- If you had previously purchased an item that is completely removed or changed, you are more than welcome to keep the old item.

- If you had previously purchased an item that has changed to something better than your version, then I would suggest the following to you:
** If the cost of the new item is less than 90% of the value of your item, then I would simply sell your item to Tylvaen and buy the new one.
** If the cost of the new item is not less than 90% of the value of your item, then I or another immort can perform the trade for you manually.

=======================================================================
Onto the changes… for items that changed, I am going to list the definition of the new item without attempting to explain what the item used to be. All of that information is on the eqlist and will remain on the eqlist as the old items are still in the database.
