I also burned some oak kit balance comps and it appears it coutns the wood enahncements as props ( Lower req + ssi ); I went to imbue fireball on one it it showed me at 5 props. I also imbued 25 ssi onto it in hope that it woudl stack on top of the 10 ssI. It does not.
The new interface is nice and will bea great boon for makign mass jewel orders but other than that I do not see it affecting how we currently do things. I am more concerned if there are any added chances of gettign relic frags by unraveling crap made out of high end mats ( verite and valorite for example).
