A dumb question about metal alloys

[Shian]

Either I suck at search function, or this question was not asked before, and I'm a bit puzzled as to why.

Looking through the list of alloys you have the following optimal skills:

Iron- 425 by itsef

Iron-520
Nickle-650

Nickle-735
Cobalt-875

Platinum-935
Mithril-1075

Then you get:
Mithril 1600
Adamantium 1600

Huh? Why am I needing an outrageous skill to process mithril, an ore I've been processing for my last 20+ levels? IG I got the answers of,

"It's supposed to start out like that because all other T6 reqs (stone) is 1600."

No, Mithril is T5. It should not take T6 skill to process. Especially not when looking at the semi-pattern of the other alloys.

"Well it's T6, it's just supposed to be difficult"

That's an answer I can just accept as is, moreso than the other answer oddly enough. "It's supposed to be difficult". Seems odd to me though, that at the very optimal currently, these bars are 2:2 using a T5 metal.

I take it you mean why Mithril requirement is so high when making Adamantium? In game speak would be, it is not the same as making Mithril bars. You must go thought a different process to mix the two metals and requires much greater skill.

OOC answer is: They want every thing to do with T6 very hard as there is no current plan to make a T7, and may never be.

Right, but if that were true wouldn't it be 11 or 1200-something? More difficult than Mithril bar processing, but at least showing you have SOME skill in such matters.

Most do have ome skill but requires some teched scales.

[Deth]

Ah I see you point now. All the other lower tier metals have a slightly lower skill requirement. Must be just with them wanting it to be very difficult they did not want to make any of the skill requirement lower.

Thanks for the catch, Shian. The mithril should be at 1440 skill. We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

or it is a bug...

Woo hoo! No more two silos! Thanks ^_^
