Questions about some items post-Chaos

a) Are Monster Crystals still used for anything?
b) Are Stimulators still used for anything?

1.- Nope. You will need to use a diferent type of crystal.
2.- Only to create weapons with those crafting npcs (Unless they got removed)

Confirming both statements.
And crafting NPCs are still in place, even plate creators are still in place, weird.

do they still work?

do they still work?

I'm pretty sure they do, i'll get back to you when I in check. Also, it's also cheaper to use mining to craft the plates rather than using an NPC, I think they still ask for 10 for a refined one. Will get a screenshot later.

Yeah, as far as I know, all crafting NPCs just repair items now.

Looks like I was right in my decision to start mass selling all my ores/monster crystals.

I forgot to ask this as well: Magic Powders. Are they used for anything, either?

Why would you mass sell your ores/crystals? You need a ton of them for the profession system that comes with Chaos.

And yes, all of the powders are used with the profession system.

If it's half as easy to get/mine ores as I've heard then it won't be much of a problem to get whatever I need for the profession system.

On a side note, right now it's also pretty easy to sell ores to people who need them and are starting to realize they've stopped dropping off most monsters (although I've heard rumors of a few who still give ores).

It may be easy to obtain ores, but it won't be quick. Mining for ores takes up fatigue, you can't just mine forever and ever getting the ores you need.

But then couldn't I just hop onto another character and continue mining?

and I take it graded gems and crystals are worthless too?
How about PoT what does it get used for later?
Does anyone have a link to how these professions work, how often you may use them, how you use them, etc?

Yes, graded gems are useless. PoT's are still used to craft Reverse items. And the professions are just am optional thing to the game, much like maker, it does not affect gameplay, but enhancing it instead. It also affects your personality traits.

I recall that the PoT requires to make reverse eq is decrease when profession is released.

Weapon: 39 PoTs
Eq: 9-11 Pots ?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hm, so is it better to make Reverse equips now? I mean, since atm we can use graded gems/crystals in order to add stats to them.

Might as well. Since graded gems do much more do the forging process.
After this patch, you would need a recipe to create these, and it's one equip for one recipe.

An easy fix for the recipes is to have them have X uses per recipe. At least for the mob only ones it would be more fair for being so rare.

This is only the case for BlackSmithing and JewelCraft, as for Alchemy, the potion recipes have a 24 hour timer.
The former have a one use only, so yeah :c

Making some reverse shoes while I can... (lol @ adv potential scroll FAIL on last ones).

I can't find the "approximate" date for Chaos patch... likely to coincide with anniversary event?

Is it correct to say if we're not making anything soon we should:
*sell monster crystals
*sell stimulators
*keep powders
*sell graded crystals\jewels
*keep raw crystals and crystal ores, they drop now and will keep dropping
*sell mineral ores for short-term profit now, since they'll be available again eventually
*sell jewel ores as above, short-term profit and they'll be back eventually

I'm planning on makering a few items. Mainly a shoe for my Aran (stupid Snowshoes killing Combat Step is stupid) and maybe one for my Mech (same stupid thing). I dunno about reverse equips though.

Since the Evan board is dead, I'm gonna ask it here: is it any good to make reverse dragon equips? I'm thinking of using them to get more SPEED/JUMP, but I dunno if it's worth the PoT investment.
