How many 399 Smithys are nerd raging righ tnow...

[Eshnar]

Grats Meyerwolf. At 399 skill, I am up to 60+ 390 work orders without the Worthy Durable Orichaclum Shield Recipe.

Did get 3 blue recipes and a bunch of randoms, so can keep going lol.

[Brunnor]

I'm at a fun and exciting 11 failed crafts of Orichaclum shield. Runs about 2-3mil per. I love having money... oh wait

[Azboth]

I did 2/2 crits of the adamantium shield so I gave the second one to a guildmate.
But I'm struggling with the recipe since then, 2 weeks.
I've spent about 2M khinas with WO, and i've yet to see it dropped...

[Deman]

Been sat on 399 for a while now and not had chance to try as worthy premium flux currently sit at 1.5mil each on our server. They started at 50k and all got bought, then some tard stuck one up at 1.8mil and they've been up there ever since.

No one is buying them oddly enough though so I hope them people enjoyed spending lots listing on the AH.

Roll on a week or 2 and more people leveling!

[Azboth]

So I got my recipe yesterday evening ! Can't try to craft it cause flux sell for 3 to 5M khinas...

[Deman]

1 day on and fluxes down to 900k. Patience as more people hit the higher levels the price continues to drop.

was wondering the same. Is farming work orders the only way to get this recipe? or is it a dropped item?

Figured if its a drop item then most likely it would drop from one of the high lvl instance. Anyways, NOT TO HAPPY. 3 million later. thats not including farmed mats I didnt pay for but farmed and I'm stuck at 399 because I cant find a f--ken recipe. Thats not to say that even after I find one the mats will be around to craft/FAIL a million times anyways.

Im all about no pain no gain but GD how much cash does NC Soft really need to squeeze out of us. I mean if you take the time to lvl to 399 anyways which we know thats an investment on its own. Then they should at least make the recipe you need to proc for 400 available easier. But I figured based on past experience with NC Soft on L2 its all about the mighty dollar or gold in this case. Based on what I can tell right now, my server has may be a handful of master armorsmiths. I can see why.

Wondering, is all the other crafts this hard? Seem to see a lot more Alchemy, Food, HC and Sewing master crafters running around vs. armorsmiths.

Peace

Well I hit 399 last night and I can tell u the worthy noble orichalcum shield recipe never dropped for me. So I figured the 3+ mil I have already spent lvling up and completing the first two parts of the expert quest wasnt good enough. They would like me to slice my wrist and drain even more blood into the cup before I can even start to make some cash back from this out of hand investment so far. Hell I just want to be able to craft the lvl 38 400+ armor and try to crit epics.

Oh well. I have nothing but time I figure because I sure in the hell don't have any cash now.

I'm 0-9 on the Adamantium shield and about to RQ this freakin game over it. Is it just bad luck or what cuz i've been trying to proc this shield for over 5 weeks now with absolutely no luck whatsoever.

2-3 million per attempt or per flux? Fluxes are over a million in my neighborhood.

[Enzi]

10 non-crit craft on the adamantium shield and 17 non-crit craft in row with other items. I seriously doubt that I event want to try the ori shield with that bad luck.

[elsewhere]

wow.... fluxes have gone down to 325K on Vaizel... i feel so lucky

[Vidrak]

This is starting to grind on me a little bit now. I have done 90-100 WO's at 399 and still no shield recipe. Though, I have got quite a few recipes that I didn't have before, so that is nice. But I am ready to be done with WO's for good :P

Going to try doing another 30-40 tonight, I don't have enough for many tries on the shield yet, so it is no rush right now. Once a few things start happening, I should be pushing up to 400 and beyond very quickly. Hopefully this week sometime.

[paine]

0/6 today on oricalcum shield =/ fluxes still ~500k on my server.

[Eneroth]

do i make u all angry when i say i made it on my first try.
After reading here i guess i was really lucky.
Then i tried making my first lvl 33 Expert chain boots and that proc too.
But since i havent critted on 3 items

[paine]

0/9 now w/ 1 failure -_-; at least fluxes are down to 300-350 now
