OK... so we have a double enchant and runestone weekend coming upon us....

But, since enchants and runestones don't drop from defeated enemies anymore, nor are they in the Skill Nodes... umm... what does this actually mean? Do we get double the RP drops instead?
@nitocris83, can we get a little clarification on this?
Because the blog still mentions enchants and runestones.

    You get 2x RP stones. Peridots, Black Pearls etc... That was what was announced in the refining thread for Preview, at least.

    I think that is to replace 2xRP and not 2x enchantment.

    I am interpreting "double gems" as being double enchants and not double refining.

    "Double Gems will still run and will now include Gemstones and Enchanting Stones. On top of that, we are exploring another event option which will give the players extra Refinement Points while running as well. We've got you covered!"

    The replacement for Double Refining is IIRC the event that simply places RP in your pool for killing mobs.

    Thanks @pitshade for pointing that out. :)

    Basically 2xenchants is when you'll want to open all of your leadership bags/boxes/coffers/invoke bags, etc. As the new gemstones will be doubled.

    The new 2xRP (or whatever they call it) now has bonus rp dropping (like how dragon hoards work, kill enemy have gems stories drop into inventory).

    Suppose we will want clarification that there is no limit or cap on the bonus rp by the time that event pops up.

    Just as long as us Leadership devotees are not once again targeted by the nerf gun. The text makes it clear that we're not getting Rank 5's out of our Enchanted Coffers anymore, but if the new gemstones are doubled, I'll be satisfied...

    If I interpret correctly, this 2x"enchant" will generate even more stuff than before. It also means the price in AH will be dropped significantly. Before, only enchanted coffers in leadership will be benefited by 2x"enchant". Now, all bags from leadership will be benefited.

    That's something I did not notice, that the leadership bags now give out RP gems. I got a bunch spread across a number of alts... looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend.

    Has anyone picked up any enchantments or runestones since the Mod update?

    I've picked up plenty of refining gems, but not a single enchantment or runestone.

    They don't drop any more.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Yeah I missed the part about enchantments and runestones not dropping too, but it is in the announcement.
  • pitshadepitshade Member Posts: 5,665 Arc User
    Fey Blessings still drop BTA enchants and unbound ones still drop from ELOL chest (assume KR as well.) Not sure if mobs in IWD can drop BI enchants as before.

    Well of Dragons still gives Dragon Horde enchantments, and during 2 x enchants sometimes Black Ice enchantments as well.

    If you get enchantment, runestone, gem during 2xenchant, they will be double.
    However, weapon/armour enchantment will not be doubled. Bonding runestone will not be doubled.
