| From the Herald grab bag question to support the age old question "Does quality of armor matter when it comes to alchemy?": "Q) During a discussion the other day on new Dragonsworn armor and redoing templates to fit pieces in,the topic of what to alchemy onto the suit came up. Since the new crafting changes, all pieces have MP armor SC points. The armor, as far as I know, quality wise is for your AF. My questionis does the quality of the armor affect the proc rate of ablatives and omni procs? Is there a difference between the amount a ablative will proc on a 99% piece and a MP piece?A few people I know were wondering this as crafting MP's can be expensive just for the extra 6 odd armor from 99% armor if ablative proc rate is not affected. A) The quality of an item will not affect its proc rate, so you can go ahead and apply whatever proc you want to your 96% quality armor without feeling like you?re missing out.

| Merry meet and my apologies for my brief hiatus from updating the site. (A rebuilt system + overly eager tech geek spouse...well, I'll let you figure it out and say no more, hehe.) I've updated the following info on the site:
In other game news, the following is from today's Herald grab bag: "Q) Some people are telling me that reactive procs work on shields in RvR; I've always been told they never worked at all. Who's right? A) Reactive shield procs do indeed work in RvR, but not in PvE." |
