April Rule Changes

[Garret]

#1

In large part to the vast inflation of Wootz Ore prices the '100's category' of lotting is going to be adjusted so that crafting materials fall into that category. All crafting materials will be free lot, and 100's would still be 4.

The reasoning behind this is that if people are coming to lot AF2 that opportunity is their reward for the run, since attendance is free. The 100's category is there as an opportunity for those who are seeking to upgrade a weapon, or to provide some economic incentive to those who do not need AF2 to attend the run.

I think adding crafting materials into that bracket fulfills that purpose best.

#2

People occasionally ask when they may relot a piece of AF2 for storage purposes, i.e. when they have upgraded another piece to a +1 and can no longer store the set.

People lotting for storage purposes may lot at the 2 point 60+ tier. So they may still set it as a comment ahead of the 0 point area, but not in priority over those who want it to begin with.

These typically drop in D-Bastok and sell for 80-120k depending on the day; for those upgrading items or needing the cash to pay for other things, 4 points is just two Northlands runs. Since we only do Bastok once a month, then there are plenty of points opportunities.

Seems fair to me and balances out the "lucky" rollers who win 2-3 wootz ores per Bastok run letting those who really want them lot them fairing based on participation.

That means that under the new category of Wootz ore , you would have to be prepared to lot 4 points for it?

No, if your seacom is money then you can lot crafting mats to your heart's content with no point cost. 100s still cost points. Ppl lotting AF2 get to lot AF2.

DX Points List --- think the name list needs a bit of "pruning" now

That's been brought up a few times. We're working on implementing something down the line.

Cliffs: The only real change is that people commenting to lot AF will no longer be able to lot crafting materials.

Another thing, as I'm not able to post regarding it (maybe a separate thread under DX Points list for input/verification same):

DX Points List --- think the name list needs a bit of "pruning" now, e.g.,

Asakurahyo, Icey << another server

Mohammed, Zechs << banned/character deleted

Tabasco << account sold

We don't prune the list because it is too much of a hassle to keep up.

Crafting materials would not cost points, as pointed out by Eticket the only change would be those lotting AF2 could not lot crafting materials.

Release april's runs already please =p

I have to check with other LS to ensure there won't be any conflicts first.

The general gist of it is going to be all major cities, a glacier clear, 2 xarc clears and a cop clear with something else thrown in, possibly a tavnazia but we'll see.

This looks really good ^^ I'm glad that you made a little bit of a restriction on lotting those ores, without stomping anyone on the toes, really. ^^
