[TSO] Advanced Void Shard Armor Recipe

[Syura]

Regular Void Shard armor can be CRAFTED. Advanced Void Shard armor MUST be CRAFTED. Recipe Books drop in Tradeskill Group Dungeons.

According to information posted by Xalmat and Whilhelmina on the EQ2 Beta forum, Void Shard armor is now craftable. The Regular Void Shard armor can be created by your friendly neighborhood level 70+ crafter IF they have the recipe book from the appropriate Tradeskill Group Dungeon (there are 3 of these being added in TSO).

If you have a crafter make your Regular Void Shard Armor, you are getting a 1 shard discount on hand/feet/legshead slot items, and a 2 shard discount on chest/shoulder. There are 2 other books for jewelry, shields, charms, etc. and other void shard items which reduce your shard cost by 1 or 2.

Most importantly, if you want the Advanced Void Shard Armor, it appears that you must locate an level 70+ tradeskiller to make these items for you. You must also relinquish your Regular Void Shard Armor piece (and an appropriate number of void shards) to get your Advanced Void Shard Armor piece.

It should be noted that developers have said it is very easy to add void shard items, and we already know of one item — Void Shard Bears. Developers have suggested that we may see some low Fabled items on the merchants. At this time, there are no Raid Fabled items yet, and there may not be. The purpose of Advanced Void Shard Armor is to equip people for instances and get into T1 and T2 raiding.

Artisan (level 70+, class doesn’t matter) buys recipes, or otherwise acquires them.

You either craft (Commission) or purchase the regular armor (Void Shards are fuel)

Crafter then commissions the advanced armor (regular armor + void shards are mandatory, and yes they must be commissioned)

There are currently 4 books that may drop in tradeskill group instances that are like that (with prices) :

- Book 1 : 14 shards for hands/feet, 17 shards for legs/head, 20 shards for chest/shoulders (merchant price is 15/18/22)
- book 2 : 4 shards for each (5 on merchant)
- book 3 : 18 shards each (20 on merchant - symbols/charms/weapons are missing from the book still)
- book 4 : 1 armor piece from book1/merchant + 30 shards for hands/feet, 34 legs/head, 42 chest/shoulders

TSO for Tradeskillers

* Starter Quest in the new Moors of Ykesha zone (77-80 adventure level, accessible from the Airship dock in the Sinking Sands).
http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Ship_Out
* New Grobb and Tupta factions in the Moors of Ykesha.
* Far Seas Supply Division — a new faction with a ton of rewards including mounts (a white unicorn), jewelry, belts, clothing, etc.
* A Gathering Obsession — Harvesting Signature Quest (rewards a cloak with Featherfall, etc.)
http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/A_Gathering_Obsession


New Tradeskill Group Instances. 1-6 tradeskillers can participate in these tradeskill instances. You pickup these quests in the Isle of Mara. You must have first done the Starter Quest in the Moors of Ykesha.

* The Clockwork Workshop (Steamfont near Gnomeland Security)
* The Shipyard Cove (Commonlands near Bloodskull Valley)
* Firemyst Gully: Supply Stocking (East Antonica)

The group instances not only reward Far Seas Supply Division coins, redeemable for cool rewards, but also reward faction and special recipe books. These recipe books are invaluable if you want to help your adventuring guildmates gear up for the new The Shadow Odyssey dungeons more quickly.

The new Void Shard armor (styled after LDoN from EQ1) is sold by a vendor in the Moors of Ykesha for a certain number of Void Shards. However if you are a tradeskiller and have acquired the right recipe books from the Tradeskill Group Instances, then you can make these pieces of armor, saving your customer 1-2 shards per item. No doubt this will be an invaluable service to close-knight guilds with a mix of adventurers and tradeskillers.

It sounds quite tricky. I totally have no idea about what is the "tradeskill instance". Do we need 6 ppl with different trade skill type? The "drop" also sounds wierd...

Anyway rufa is 80 alchy and eega is 79 tailor. I'd like to try it after I get my TSO update.

I haven't tested out myself for crafter instance yet either.

Either case, we need to finish off the "starter quest" in order to recieve the crafter instance quest. I'll try to find out myself too as I'm very interested in TSO legendary armors (over VP execpt TSO legendary set missing bracer part).

We'll find it out
