Well, now we know how it works. thanks @ (yeah, yer new-ish name is too long)


Ugh.. did you really just mix DnD and LoTRO? V. disappointed @Cordovan. n rly, please don't kill it. 420 crafter level is rather hard to achieve.


+100


IMO there should not be advertised procs we cannot gain. n Mystic ingredients are O L D
It is appropriate. Jerry knows I play DDO and LotRO both. I used to complain about Turbine, and now SSG, closing both games for maintenance, updates, etc.

That is my gut feeling, is that maybe this shard made it to preview but was determined to be overly powerful and thus pulled before live.

From a perspective of experienced player - it's nowhere near OP.
Mainly because it's a weapon prefix.

When you craft a weapon it's not worth to give up "good/evil weapon" prefix for any amount of armor-piercing+destruction at any particular Minimum Level. Pure (good/evil) damage + DR bypass is just too good, moreover:
  1. You can craft regular armor-piercing into trinket/gloves.
  2. On late epics when raid bosses start to live more than a few swings and Destruction slowly becomes handy you can put Deconstrucor to red slot of a weapon.
  3. There are quite few other sources of destruction that do not stack with this prefix.
  4. Only one player's Destruction debuff can be applied to a monster, so there is a good chance someone already has a destruction debuff in your party. (I'm not 100% sure on this, but most of debuffs works like this)

I don't have most of the answers yet, but we have confirmed that this item is not in fact appearing in-game.
If that combination is considered overpowered, could you at least change the effects to cursespewing and feeding since those two effects commonly appear simultaneously on randomly generated items?

We've been a bit too busy to really look into it, but we'll do so and either confirm the item is appearing, make the item start appearing, or remove the options that require the use of a nonexistent ingredient. Also possible this was an in-development item that ultimately wasn't planned for release but some references snuck in anyway. Will take historical digging to figure some of it out.
Did you ever confirm either way on this? I don't think I saw an update about it.

Remember that "censored" literally said this ingredient drops and you all just can't find it. So if they go on and confirm now that this doesn't drop YEARS LATER that will /0

When I look at the Cannith Crafting interface inside of the game I only see the erroneous Armor Destroying shard recipe in the Unbound application UI, not even the unbound shard creation UI, which further reiterates my belief that this item slipped into a Lamannia build before being pulled from release, and unfortunately two remnants of it remained in-game. My expectation is that once we are able to turn our attention to Cannith Crafting in the future at some point the remnants of this incomplete effort will be removed.

As a side note I reported on the fix-it thread a number of wrong icons for the recipes. I went thru every single one and compiled the list with images for posting. This was before Lynnabel left. I will search for it and update later or should I just file bug reports on each one?

I think in this case one bug report listing all of your findings sounds fine.
