New Clean-Up Talismans

It actually is your last statement, wherein you declare that I just like arguing, is quite telling, because it is a false statement, asserted as fact. I post the way I do because I do not like seeing factless statements asserted as facts to the minor degree I can help it. I have no illusions that I can do a lot on this score in an environment where facts too often are seen as optional.

before imbuing, crafting was more like it is now. Not so much complexity or variety, but the fact that it took some doing to achieve what you were after. In games we love the "thrill of the hunt." before imbuing it was hunting monsters for that perfect jewel, or burning kits in hopes of a perfect piece.

Actually more players referred to burning through kits as frustrating grinds. Both personally to me and on the boards, I have read stories of crafters expressing frustration with the randomness of the system. You may have liked it but nothing I have seen suggests to me that your preferences were typical. You actually can still do that now at any rate.

And you definitely can still hunt for loot. And could have before the new loot system and before reforging. I, for one, did.

I dont know how anyone could disagree that imbuing was the lowpoint of UO crafting / hunting. it made loot worthless so destroyed a reason to hunt (other than for imbuing regs). a suit that took a fortune and many months to perfect could now be cookie cuttered out in under an hour.

At best you think that your own experiences and preferences are everyone's. You are incorrect. I have demonstrated this capably. Suits can be made quicker but you also can grind through kits and have the advantage that you can make a suit that never will wear out by using that method.

Its not an issue anyway but i know you just like to argue The systems we have now are great, something for everyone.

See above. I actually do like things how they are now as well for about the same reason.

Galen, come on. imbuing killed crafters when that was the best out there. takes minimal skill to imbue a suit, and when that was the best thing out there every single suit looked exactly the same....

Competition, be it crafting, pvm, pvp, rp whatever is a vital part of every successful video game out there.

Imbuing didn't "kill" crafters. Imbuing "killed" the scripter run monopoly on Runic Kit gear, which was the only good gear prior. Reforging brought back the scripter monopoly with Runic Kits.

If I can actually devote some time to cleanup point gathering, then I'll probably go for the Mystic's Memento. For several of my builds It combines lieutenant sash & obi di ense, which in tern opens up room for a crimson & dci sash again. That will work wonders in altering my jewelry to perfection. Rather surprised we are being given these new +skill talismans, much appreciated. *bows*
