Thread: New Crafting Loot? Need info please,

I was reading the expansion board regarding ToOB , and ran across a snipet of info on a thread discussing why players are not so impressed with the game. As follows



MeciniaLua States:


Yes I realise that there is a cube that gives new schematics. However the quest to get the cube is not doable by a non double elite combat master. In addition the loot that you have to feed the cube only drops from high end mobs, and the schematics the cube produce are nontradeable. ( The Cube is also nontradeable.) These will remain untradeable even while they make most of the things biolinkable. What this means is that crafters will not be able to access this new content because they will not be able to obtain the cube and thus learn the schematics. This is basically a large slap in the face of the crafters.






Okay...this has really gotten my attention and I would greatly appreciate any details about this cube item. It sounds like crafters are getting replaced by devices. What type of schematics? How high-end are the schematics? I may be very misinformed...but I would very much like to be set straight. Thanks.

From the looks of the replies on the thread you mentioned, the schematics appear to be tradable...as a mattter of fact, looks like alot more items are tradeable this week clickie

Hi GrooperNugent!


Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am aware that most items (95% appx) will be tradeable - but is this potentially evil cube part of it? I want to know more about thius device. I have asked on the expansion board with no answer yet. I am surprised about the lack ofinformation being passed about the expansion since the NDA lift....at least compared to the other expansions.

I too am surprised by the lack of information, particullarly crafter-related info. It leads me to believe that either



  • There is very little crafter content

  • People are not playing crafters in beta (if they are, they sure aren't posting here)

  • the content hasn't been found/put into betayet

If there are craters out there, would you please post something!!

We are testing, but so far only one schematic has surfaced and that was the Shipwright ones that I mentioned in the discussion thread.

Im very sorry and I will post as soon as there is anything new, but atm we dont have anything but the promise ofschematics to hold us to.

It seems their intention is to promote crafter-combat relationships, by having the two "work together" to acquire and then produce these weapons...

A list on the beta boards is being compiled, but as Summer has said only one schematic so far has been found. We've been informed that there are still combinations to be found with the cube that yield more schematics...

Heres something that will bring a frown (sorry!):

Beta testing is being closed down...so it seems we'll have to figure out the rest when the beta goes live :/

Yeah this is a very bad choice and I have had no luck on getting a dev comment so far.

The cube spits out the schematics. Well....the cube is tradable, but some of the strange components will not be tradable.I also have a question in to make sure that this item is usable by players who have NOT purchased the expansion. The schematics once made are not tradable from my nderstanding.


Many of the cube item schematicsare limited use/timed items, so the cube is like a re-usable loot kit. I would have rather have not seen weapons schematics come from these things, but I have a cube coming just incase......

Just to clearify


The Cube is not tradable


All the Glowing items for the cube are tradable


The Schematics are NOT tradable atm (though Im trying to convince the Devs they should be)


The above might chance, but this is as it stands 7 days from realease.
