No. It won't.
I understand where you're coming from, but if they weren't ready for trials before, upgrading their gear to gold will not magically elevate them to ready to run vet trials. You can, absolutely run trials in full purple... yes, even weapons. Yes, I've done it, on vet. Yes, I should have upgraded my weapons, but I didn't care enough to bother because... wait for it... oh, right, because your gear does not matter nearly as much as you seem to think it does.
Now, I'm happy that people are thrilled to be getting gold jewelry in zone. It's a cool moment. I'm not even tempted to take that away from them, but the difference between purple and gold jewelry is so marginal it will not matter, when it comes time for them to try to run a vet dungeon, much less vet trials.
It is the player who clears the content, not their build. Yes, your build can help, but it will not carry you through. ESO is not that kind of an MMO.
so you can do veteran trial with white gear? for people lacking the skill and knowledge of the game, gear help a ton.
true gear doesn't do that much, but it remove the excuse from learning. once they hit gold they know what they need to do, instead of blaming on equipment.
p.s. if it does not matter then why are people spend so much effort farming for gold jewelry? imo it help alot before you hit 20k dps. but after you hit 40k or more they don't do as much.
p.s. it is player who clear the content? please tell me if you can reach decent dps without weave and only white gear.
I think you may have misunderstood what I said. Let me use smaller words so this is, hopefully clear to you. If you cannot clear a vet trial with full purple gear, you will not be able to clear it in full gold gear.
Getting your gear to gold does not make you trial ready.
You know what the difference between a character with full purple Hunding's Rage and full gold Hunding's Rage is?
11 weapon damage.
Your average stam DPS should be rocking someplace north of 2k, and you're crying over 11 weapon damage. Except... it gets better.
You know what the difference between someone who has 5pc of GOLD hunding's, and someone who has 3pc of purple hunding's jewelry, with two pieces in gold?
7 weapon damage.
You're, literally, crying about 7 weapon damage on that combo. And other bonuses are similar. Again, we're talking about less than 20 points of stam or magicka. Around 1 or 2 points to recovery.
You are crying about stat differences that are so marginal, you cannot see them unless you write down your stats first.
The only thing you should worry about upgrading is your weapon. And that's only because the actual damage stat on your weapon, not your set bonuses, your actual damage stat, increases by a little over 200. That matters. Having gold jewelry? It doesn't, at all.

Golding out your jewelry is, primarily, a prestige thing. It really doesn't matter. Golding out your armor is mostly a prestige thing.
Think about it, where do you get your gold mat? from refine ore and daily wirt quest. now imagin it take TEN times more mat to do your daily wirt. would you have enough base mat to do your daily wirt without grinding everyday?? you have four character with fully goleden gear.. and all that effort and gold aren't even enough for one full set of golden jewelry. as it require 240 gold mat to upgrade three piece of jewelry to gold. while it cost only 4x7x8= 224 gold mat to upgrade four full set of equipment to gold.The offical made it very clear, you will never get bars directly. you always get dust. and there is a video regarding decon golden jewelry. most of the time you end with nothing, and when you are lucky you get 1 dust back. decon 100 ring and you might have enough to upgrade one piece of jewelry to gold if you are extremely lucky.starkerealm wrote: »Since reading is, apparently, hard, here you go.starkerealm wrote: »Then don't.
That's the thing about this. The only reason to chase gold jewelry is for the prestige factor. Exaggerating and saying, "it requires more to craft," is deliberately misleading.
I mean, probably a great moment for the players who legitimately can't clear vet content, but, it's still going to be a stupid prestige thing. Probably cheaper than buying from The Golden, though.
And, yeah, the prospect of running two 5pc crafted sets is the real payoff here. For that, you really only need purple for endgame content.
am not sure about you.. but i never seen people running around town shouting in zone chat that they get golden jewelry.
it is not only golden, every upgrade cost ten times more. and it is not a prestige thing, it will get more people ready for trial..
p.s. just saying, if you felt prestige with golden gear, then think again. they are introducing veteran golden gear which are superior to normal golden equipment, they can only be found through veteran hard trial. i pity you if you still felt like a prestige owning these inferior gear after summerset release.

You guys are planning on farming jewelry after Summerset launches, right?
ZOS has stated that any jewelry obtained before Summerset will not be deconstructable.

my point is crafting cost too much effort comparing to drop and direct buy from various vendor. which make crafting kinda pointless.
with the time and gold you spend farming mat, you could have farm several set of gold jewelry set from trial or vendor. which ever you prefer.. i have no issue with them being drop or sold, but i do have issue that it take 80 gold mat to upgrade a single ring/necklace to gold.

so basically what your saying is you would rather it be cheaper to upgrade (say 8 gold mats like everything else) so that a cp 160 can run around with gold War Machine jewelry because he was smart and saved some gold (because a friend told him to) and had a group carry him through normal HoF?? Now tell me how fair that is to all the skilled, veteran, max cp players who grinded and progressed through one of the tougher trials to earn that gold jewelry legit.

Well they are introducing True elite gear, that are only dropped in veteran hard trial. so these common gold equipment are now inferior. so i don't see anything wrong, people who work hard will better better gear..
p.s. even at 8 gold mat upgrade it still isn't cheap/easy.. since you have to farm for lots of thing. trait stone for one will likely force you to do master wirt/ pvp.. and rest of the upgrade and base jewelry craft aren't exactly easy. So yes am ok with that

What exactly do you mean by "True Elite Gear" ??? You know that all trials drop gold jewelry right? So how is everything else now inferior? This makes absolutely no sense to me. The new trial isnt dropping like "platinum" jewelry that can only be obtained there. Theres perfect, and imperfect versions of the new sets. Perfect only being from hard mode. But nonetheless the perfected versions of the sets are comparable to the sets from the rest of the trials. So ill ask again, what exactly are you trying to say here?
P.S Also i didnt realize that gold war machine jewelry is now considered common. rofl im done.
Craglorn bosses got over 10 purple ring & plenty of blue/green last night in about 2 hours.

Your statement is ridiculous and your just salty that you have to grind and gold jewelry isnt going to be given to you on a silver platter.

Lol unfortunately I hate to say it. But they’re not going to introduce new gear after the PTS. The pts is meant to test new mechanics, bugs, sets, classes, abilities, quests etc. so they can be fixed before the live launch. So yes, the sets listed in the patch notes are the sets that you are referring to. Hate to break it to ya.

But nonetheless the perfected versions of the sets are comparable to the sets from the rest of the trials. So ill ask again, what exactly are you trying to say here?
P.S Also i didnt realize that gold war machine jewelry is now considered common. rofl im done.
they mentioned in their official video, you should check it out on youtube/twitch. they are introducing vet hard equipment, that will be superior to normal equipment that you find else where.
lol ive read all the patch notes. Maybe you should as well. Here let me link them for you. They were updated yesterday. Please look at the sets and tell me how superior they are going to be. Your statement is ridiculous and your just salty that you have to grind and gold jewelry isnt going to be given to you on a silver platter.

yea but i don't see anything on there, and not everything is released on pts? they mentioned it on eso live official twitch.. let me find it for you.. give me a minute
Lol unfortunately I hate to say it. But they’re not going to introduce new gear after the PTS. The pts is meant to test new mechanics, bugs, sets, classes, abilities, quests etc. so they can be fixed before the live launch. So yes, the sets listed in the patch notes are the sets that you are referring to. Hate to break it to ya.
have you been playing on pts? if answer is yes have you done any vet hard trial? they didn't really list anything regarding new equipment on patch note.. and am pretty sure they talk about the new vet dungeon equipment on eso live

No. It won't.
I understand where you're coming from, but if they weren't ready for trials before, upgrading their gear to gold will not magically elevate them to ready to run vet trials. You can, absolutely run trials in full purple... yes, even weapons. Yes, I've done it, on vet. Yes, I should have upgraded my weapons, but I didn't care enough to bother because... wait for it... oh, right, because your gear does not matter nearly as much as you seem to think it does.
Now, I'm happy that people are thrilled to be getting gold jewelry in zone. It's a cool moment. I'm not even tempted to take that away from them, but the difference between purple and gold jewelry is so marginal it will not matter, when it comes time for them to try to run a vet dungeon, much less vet trials.
It is the player who clears the content, not their build. Yes, your build can help, but it will not carry you through. ESO is not that kind of an MMO.
so you can do veteran trial with white gear? for people lacking the skill and knowledge of the game, gear help a ton.
true gear doesn't do that much, but it remove the excuse from learning. once they hit gold they know what they need to do, instead of blaming on equipment.
p.s. if it does not matter then why are people spend so much effort farming for gold jewelry? imo it help alot before you hit 20k dps. but after you hit 40k or more they don't do as much.
p.s. it is player who clear the content? please tell me if you can reach decent dps without weave and only white gear.
I think you may have misunderstood what I said. Let me use smaller words so this is, hopefully clear to you. If you cannot clear a vet trial with full purple gear, you will not be able to clear it in full gold gear.
Getting your gear to gold does not make you trial ready.
You know what the difference between a character with full purple Hunding's Rage and full gold Hunding's Rage is?
11 weapon damage.
Your average stam DPS should be rocking someplace north of 2k, and you're crying over 11 weapon damage. Except... it gets better.
You know what the difference between someone who has 5pc of GOLD hunding's, and someone who has 3pc of purple hunding's jewelry, with two pieces in gold?
7 weapon damage.
You're, literally, crying about 7 weapon damage on that combo. And other bonuses are similar. Again, we're talking about less than 20 points of stam or magicka. Around 1 or 2 points to recovery.
You are crying about stat differences that are so marginal, you cannot see them unless you write down your stats first.
The only thing you should worry about upgrading is your weapon. And that's only because the actual damage stat on your weapon, not your set bonuses, your actual damage stat, increases by a little over 200. That matters. Having gold jewelry? It doesn't, at all.
I both agree and disagree. I agree that the increase is small and in most cases for most people its not going to be a game changer. Its far more of a game changer for how you use sets than it is for the actual purple to gold improvement ability.
I disagree for a couple of reasons. The first, and i may be wrong about this, jewel crafting will allow you improve dropped items. Green and blue are far easier to come by than purple. The theory may be you should be able to do the content in purple gear, but not everyone plays on that level. I mean their are some people who can solo trial bosses, but most people will never be able to do that no matter how much they try or research or what build they use. They are simply incapable. Those little upgrades you say arent important, and i would mostly agree with you on, might be just enough to push them over the edge and break that glass ceiling to being able to do harder content. So while overall that not significant, it can help a good player squeeze just into great territory.
Second is it may only add 7 weapon damage. But all 3 being gold will add 90 stamina. This also seems insignificant. But both of these are multipliers for ability damage which in many cases also has a CP multiplier. Mighty increases you physical, disease, and poison damage. 40 points in this gives you nearly a 10% damage bonus to those abilities. So that increases the effect.
In short what i am saying is because of stacking multipliers 7 damage doesnt seem like a big deal up front but can translate to a couple hundred DPS or more at the end of the day. And that is how high dps players get high dps. Adding 7 damage here and 90 stamina there adds 100 dps here, 300 there, 250 dps from that, 500 from that. Those little changes matter when you put a bunch of little changes together it makes a big one.
If it didnt matter elitists and vets would just run around all day in purple and blue gear and own everything, but they dont. Purple is considered entry level into any vet content for a reason.
But its not that big of a deal to get stressed out over leveling the craft. It will help, more than you imply, but its not going to make a good player into a great player by itself unless that player is on the verge of crossing that line. But it is a stepping stone in getting those numbers up to great player level.

Also some of the gear in cloudrest i dont think is going to be BIS. It will be good, especially with the new changes they made yesterday but not the best. The healer and tank sets look the most intriguing to me. Also currently the BIS mag/stamina DPS set is guess what??? You guessed it, a crafted set.
my point is crafting cost too much effort comparing to drop and direct buy from various vendor. which make crafting kinda pointless.
with the time and gold you spend farming mat, you could have farm several set of gold jewelry set from trial or vendor. which ever you prefer.. i have no issue with them being drop or sold, but i do have issue that it take 80 gold mat to upgrade a single ring/necklace to gold.
so basically what your saying is you would rather it be cheaper to upgrade (say 8 gold mats like everything else) so that a cp 160 can run around with gold War Machine jewelry because he was smart and saved some gold (because a friend told him to) and had a group carry him through normal HoF?? Now tell me how fair that is to all the skilled, veteran, max cp players who grinded and progressed through one of the tougher trials to earn that gold jewelry legit.
Well they are introducing True elite gear, that are only dropped in veteran hard trial. so these common gold equipment are now inferior. so i don't see anything wrong, people who work hard will better better gear..
p.s. even at 8 gold mat upgrade it still isn't cheap/easy.. since you have to farm for lots of thing. trait stone for one will likely force you to do master wirt/ pvp.. and rest of the upgrade and base jewelry craft aren't exactly easy. So yes am ok with that
