Out of curiosity, why this? I've been finding that wearing all my quarying gear, fully buffed, etc, I get about 3/4 a full load from a motherload of marble. It's been a bit better with Granite, which I've been working lately, but I've been having the same thing with Mithril when I was working that.

Since I raised the quantity in Rich nodes, I balanced the quantity in motherlode nodes. There is still quite a lot in them, but not nearly as much as before.

Interesting. While I cry a solitary tear for the size reduction of well-aged motherlodes-- some of those took three trips with max-sized dragon carrying capacity!-- I do like how attractive this should make rich nodes. Currently I consider everything less than motherlodes a silly waste of time, if the field supports them. Rich nodes that aren't a disappointing 1/3 of my inventory will be niiiiice. :D

Thanks! I was trying to guess which those were, but it was rather hopeless without notes on the map.

GLORY HALELUJIAH. No really, I might actually enjoy working travertine now.

I have never heard of these before, at least by this name. I am very interested in finding out what they are!

And I just spent this afternoon unintentionally making a list of condemned communities. BRB field trip to Blight!

Why o why?
Was someone that hurt because after a nice and long quest the dragon crafters dedicated enough to reach 1000 quarry/mining could use a real T6 (with all the bells and whistles) tool claw that could take 4 sockets?
Please - really please - reconsider the removal/altering of the Prototype Tool Claw as it is now - a fully functional T6 tool claw that can take 4 sockets.

And with that we would need a t6 mining pick, with 4 sockets.
And to me, thats sounds like a bit much :p
I don't even want my dragon to have a t6 claw with 4 sockets... Just sounds to awesome. hahaha
Even to those that "dedicated enough to reach 1000 quarry/mining.." Which to me, is not all that much of a feat.
Re: Blight Update 223 Comments
I'm not sure but don't bipeds have T6 jewelry? I have no clue if it can be used but I do get the parts as loot. Dragons do have 2 T6 crafting helpers the disk and pack, but not sure why any would be against T6 anything for anyone?

PS. Yes, bipeds have access to t6 jewelries and t6 weapons
Re: Blight Update 223 Comments
Please note that this update is not yet on Blight. It should be going to Blight AFTER today's maintenance.

hehe, certainly can be taken anyone way someone wants to when I talk.
Angry, whiney, bitchy, or just opinionated? Trying to give feedback to the game I support? Game I truly enjoy? Or maybe the game I Troll the most. :p Muhaha
I'll go with whiney.. For you :p
And yes. Considering the lengthy time it takes to acquire 31 gold to purchase the two plots I own. yes, yes I would consider moving on to the next game if those coins were just.... Taken away. POOF!!! ;) lol
I have a 100 dragon, working on a second.. And I still think a t6 claw with 4 sockets is a bit much. hehe
Air Transport FTW!!
Re: Blight Update 223 Comments
If you think it is too much, don't use it. Rather simple solution isn't it?

And for those of us that already have it and are using it, does this mean it will become unusable?

This is particularly upsetting to me as I have not yet done the quest, and now I will not be able to get the socketable T6 claw.
I sincerely hope this is reconsidered, as I do not get why bipeds can have usable T6 items, but not dragons - well... beyond scalepacks anyhow.

hmm, i guess not much consideration was given to my request, pertaining to this tool claw. what harm was it doing? other than keeping dragons from needing 4 tool claws as opposed to 1 or 2? you've yet to introduce any T6 repairable dragons scales, bipeds get full T6 jewelry set. they get T6 repairable weapons. but a dragon can't have 1 - 4 socketed tool claw to help save space? it gives no other bonus, what's the harm? it does not raise their abilities, it doesn't raise stats, it's 1 extra socket? sheesh.
Finkelbody, why is it only your complaints count as valid? and everyone elses is a worthless thought?
you want a T6 4 socketed mining pick for bipeds. but what you're not considering are the T6 tools/techs bipeds already have, and yet you're worried about 1 T6 4 socketed claw for dragon. lets remember what a tinkerer gets shall we? T6 tool +50 tinkering, T6 tech to give tinker spanner +40. hmm now does it seem so bad a dragon could have 1 claw socketed 4 times, when there's not even a bonus included on the tool?
there are 5 tool claws to craft, of which only 3 are of any use. since no bonus is added to claw. the 1 socketed claw, 2 socket and 3 socket, which makes 2 of the claws pointless. now during a quest they get a 4 socketable claw and it gets removed. but it's ok that bipeds get T6 weapons / jewelry / tool and techs. shouldn't those get removed?

Exactly. Aside from t6 cargo disks and backpacks (which bipeds also have) dragons don't have anything in the way of any T6 items. All we're asking for a tool claw with an extra slot. Nothing more. Its nothing like the T6 weapons and jewelry that bipeds have. Does a tool claw provide anything unbalancing except to cut down on having to stop every other step in laircrafting to change claws/crystals?

There seems to be no easy solution to this dilemna. The team has spoken and made the changes. What I don't understand is why you want the removal of biped stuff. What will that do? If you take away our goodies, then we will no longer be able to build. And you want this to happen why?

you didn't pay attention to what i said in the thread. it was a response to finklebody and his thing about the claw. but not his complaints about the T6 tools a biped gets now. i am not asking for the T6 biped stuff to be removed. you are just misunderstanding what it was pertaining to
Re: Blight Update 223 Comments
no, dragons only wants to use ther t6 claw. not take away bipeds staf
Re: Blight Update 223 Comments
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for the clarification!

Ummm as I remember it things were getting built before T6 goodies. To be honest I can build without the T6 Claw, and pretty sure the bipeds will be able to build without any of their T6 toys. /end sarcasm
I know the claw was given in error, but the cat IS out of the bag, I use it. I like not having a different claw for everything I want to craft (excluding lair/crystal). And as Merrik ans Arzel said, what harm does having it in game do?
Seems like a nice little bonus, Yes?
