    Items and Economy
    • Invocation rewards have been updated to grant a 6 day reward with a focus on Campaign progression and a 7 day reward with a restored chance for Wards that are now Bind to Account.

    Please can you add some clarity to the 7 day reward patch note?

    Currently existing coffers on live when opened on test work as per live. However there is a report from someone purchasing a single new 7 day coffer on test received a blue refinement gem and no wards. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?521791-Cryptic-OFFICIAL-Feedback-Thread-Refinement-System-Pt-2&p=6620941&viewfull=1#post6620941

    This means it is impossible to have the same "restored chance" for wards if new items are still in the drop table which can take the place of wards, for new coffers.

    Please clarify what the new coffers contain as they are very hard to test now that we are within 7days of going live with Shadowmantle. The above patch note does not seem to match the results on preview.

    "Restored chance" can simply mean that with the 7-day coffer replaced with the Sharandar rewards, there was no chance at all. Putting a coffer back in restores our chance to get wards, period. It doesn't need to be a direct reference to probability.

    This is true. It could then be ambiguous patch noting, hence a good case for more clarity as it could be either way. "a restored chance" can mean just about anything.

    Regardless, there's not a hope of clarification before what? Monday? Four-day weekend, I think.

    Oh public holidays in US? Not from there. Extremely unlikely if there is substantial out of office days.

    Yeah, I'm not from the US either. But their holiday started today. I think the entire country goes back to work Monday.

    Yeah, that's my interpretation. The 7 day coffer has been restored to Ward related rewards instead of Sharandar rewards. Nothing more specific than that IMO.

    Less than a week till this goes live and I'm still getting broken weapons. Am I the only one? Am I the only one who cares?

    You're not the only one. The break was very pronounced on a Greataxe of Rage. I suspect this was an attempt to address some of the clipping issues with GWF weapons, which has gone horribly askew.

    They look fine in motion, just at rest they break.

    Unlike you have indicated the Seismic bug remains, though it is not as pervasive as before. Located a Seismic bug in each district from Blacklake -> Vellosk so far.

    I like that there is this increased ward reward that is BoP. Either way, this does not make the 7 day rewards useless to people who don't enchant. It would in fact raise the value of these coffers so that you could sell them at a higher value if you did not wish to open them yourself. I'm also grateful that they are giving a free booster to people lv 60 that will be going into the new enchant system and a bonus artifact :D

    A) Chance of getting wards is reduced, not increased. Putting the coffer back means you still get a chance. Putting other stuff in the coffer means it's less than it used to be.
    B) Coffers are also bound. Sell value is zero.

    The booster is alright. It has more stuff in it that I acquired from looting more nodes than I could count (which isn't to say it gives you a lot, just that my experience with node drops was poor).

    You don't get a bonus artifact , its just a artifact and enchantment booster pack , you get a bunch of green upgrade marks.

    So yes you need to go to Knox and get the Artifact quest and go do it; Blackdagger is going to be busy, busy next weekend.

    I came in this weekend to get in the localized text. We haven't forgotten about you!

    Powers and other messages becoming unlocalized was due to a partial change that went in to help with loading times on some messages. My fix also addresses that as well.

    Will there be a final preview patch this week before it goes live?

    Hopefully because low level will be unplayable when the Ranger madness hits and all the instances fill up with Seismic bugs.

    Stupid question, will the bonus artifact be applicable to live server when shadowmantle is released or just preview? Also, is it for any class or just hunter?

    There is no bonus artifact. Your lvl 60 char will have to do the quest just like anyone else. It is a artifact and enchant booster pack. It will contain items to help you in boosting your artifact that you get from the quest. The pack will not contain a artifact.

    @ Penderus

    Not long till this goes live any last changes/ new patches you want to tell us :) maybe some hunter changes ^_^

    Example Suggestions

    1: Shift Skill perhaps to become a back/side step instead of the mini stealth "duck-Cover"
    2: Animation of Rapid Strike to be increased or perhaps rebuild to make it a build up skill that gains damage the more you do it ?
    3: No Poison Skills :( was hoping for one Range skill to be Poison / Bleed based
    4: Melee DPs increased 15-25%
    5: Lots and Lots and Lots of different Bow Skins

    agreed. I also think that shift move invulnerability timespan should be fixed to match animation. Right now it has like 30% delay.
    And why class-specific artifacts were removed? =( no fun.

    They'll be added again. They're just not going in this module.
