Jewelcrafting is probably the most game changing thing they've added in years.

People are looking at it just from the perspective of Craftable gear being able to be used alot easier in setups....But you're not realizing how crazy its going to get.

You can change the trait on all jewelry now via Transmutation. That means EVERY single Heavy Armor set now will be able to have its trait changed to Stamina/Magicka or one of the 6 new traits.

kojou

It's going to be epic.

Turelus

Yeah, this is going to really shake up the meta. I'm looking forward to the fresh new concepts.

Really hoping for a solid balance pass from Wrobel's team as well.

VelociousLegend

Yeah, I really think this is going to be great for the game. A lot more build variety. Theory crafters will have a field day with this feature.

geonsocal

you're absolutely right (if dropped jewelry can in fact be transmuted)...

it's gonna make heavy armor even more prevalent and OP than it already is...

and then tons of heavy sets will get nerfed and the cycle of nerfs will continue.


Some crafted sets might get nerfed too, now that you can combine them.

Xsorus

Tell ya right now, Wyrd Tree and Duroks are going to be very very popular sets

ToRelax

Don't forget transmuting medium/light set jewelry and running 5/2 instead of 5/1/1.

Or even with weapons for 5/1/1 I guess... x)

or have the opposite effect and use heavy set ups on jewelry to make beefier medium and light armor users.

Let's just remove pvp from this game so we can stop nerfing everything when someone cries about getting killed, mmkay?

Marabornwingrion

Adding new class for the first time ever with Morrowind Chapter was also game changing thing.

Sounds great except the biggest nerfs came about because the powers that be didn't like what was happening in PvE.

Recremen

It sounds pretty exciting, I'm sure we'll have loads of fun new combinations to play with! Definitely a big change for combat coming.

dodgehopper_ESO

Really looking forward to this.

Elong

Pelinals/Axiom HybridPlar here we come!

Wrecking_Blow_Spam

Can you upgrade the jewellery too? Say from green all the way to gold

Runefang

This will go from power creep to power leap if it's not done right.

I'll take Shalk Exoskeleton on my magblade thanks, along side master architect for a huge major slayer uptime.

potirondb16_ESO

I am really scare that it will kill any incentive to do vet trial as far as a progression goes ... I really look forward to gain access to more information regarding how they plan to balance raiding and non-raiding gear within the new jewel crafting system...

Vaoh

They mentioned new traits too. For example, the one they teased was basically a trait that increased damage you dealt vs low health targets

TequilaFire

Sounds great, but waiting to hear what the catch is, like some hard to get new item required to craft/upgrade the jewelry like they did with transmutation crystals.
Hope not.

MLGProPlayer

I'm super excited about this as well. It will shake up the meta without breaking the game (like spellcrafting would have).

let's hope for what you say - it will really be dependant on the six new traits they'll be introducing..

I think the two would have to be synonymous—class and set balancing—for this to work. I’m cautiously optimistic!

WrathOfInnos

Can't wait to make my gold elf bane jewelry arcane, indirect MagDK buff?

How precisely are they going to implement jewelry transmutation? Are they going to wreck it like they did armour/weapon transmutation? Because that system is an abomination that should never have seen the light of day.

I mean it’ll be just like those two but with jewelry instead; not sure how it’s wrecked?

Not sure how it is wrecked. I am just hoping the jewerly crafting won't require outrageous amount of mats.

ZoS wrecked it by making it an end-game player thing instead of a crafting thing, which it is and should be. 99% of players will never see a transmutation stone other than the free ones they get with new characters and that's wrong. And I'll bet they'll stuff up jewelry crafting too.

Huh? They’re amazingly easy to get. PvP is one of the best ways to do it as well.

But you know, transmuting is accessible at any level given you have CWC access and the availability required amount of transmutation crystals. And crafting doesn't require transmutation as you can already choose your traits. Besides, only really meaningful items worth transmuting for would be the max level stuffs anyways.
