Finally, A New Use For Our AP!

WebBull · October 2015

Seriously, this is all they could come up with? What a joke.

Akaviri Crafting Style
The secrets of the Akaviri crafting style have been uncovered by scholars on the front lines of the Alliance War!

Siege merchants in Cyrodiil will sell chapters of the Akaviri Style for large amounts of Alliance Points.
To learn an Akaviri style chapter, you must have at least Rank 9 in at least one of the Metalworking, Tailoring, or Woodworking passives.
The merchants will also sell the raw style material needed to craft Akaviri items, Ancient Scale, for a modicum of Alliance Points.
You must refine ten Ancient Scales together into one Goldscale in order to use it in crafting Akaviri arms and armor.
Once refined together into Goldscale, the item is immediately bound to your account. If you wish to trade them, you must do so in their unrefined form!

I'm good if they want 100k each but I hope its not 500k each that would take forever

I am sure you will be able to buy them on the crown store within 2-4 week after the DLC....

Are the "chapters" bound? If not, and depending on AP cost, that might at least be a way to convert AP to Gold.

Yeah, I have no real interest in crafting styles. I am still hoping that AP will be made to be less useless in some other form, as this just seems a bit weak. But I suppose it is better than nothing, and some people would be interested in it. Just not me.

I knew there would be something to complain about. Would it be better if they just didn't come out with any more new content?

How is adding a crafting style new content for PvP players? Like at all?

Knootewoot · October 2015

Yeah, I rather have them add new V16 armors which are on par with the PvE shoulder/head gear. I don't PvE and I don't care if they would cost 1 million AP. At least then it's something to PvP for.

Gotta have swag in Cyrodiil. Fashion is very important.

Well, I can't argue about that

Maulkin · October 2015

Ofc we'd all prefer to have the PvP sets scale to v16 so we can actually get some more build diversity and value for our AP.

Since that's not happening, I'm at least grateful that there'll be a way to convert AP->Gold via selling those motif fragments

Wollust · October 2015

I really hope those chapters will cost 500k ap or more. That way the prices won't drop too much

Want to bet that the moment you spend all your AP on this akviri style, that they introduce VR16 AP gear?!

The same way a huge PvE zone called Cracked Wood City is 'PvP content'.

Haha... Cracked Wood City, nice...

Wait, so ZOS made PvP useless by removing all incentives for it? What a surprise, ZOS has taken such good care of their PVP community thus far... And Cyrodiil isnt a wasteland right now, either...

/endsarcasm

And no, a crafting style is not a PvP reward by any stretch of the imagination.

It would be if it's strictly tied to PvP ranks. Higher ranks, awesome armor.

This will most likely happen, yes. Fortunately you get AP just for doing PVP content.

PVP gear for doing PVP content sounds good to me.

Alucardo · October 2015

My DK approves of this style, and the way you obtain it

Don't forget about our awesome pvp DLC Imperial city. Just so much small scale pvp happens there, it's exactly what the pvp community has been asking for

Personally Id prefer if they just upgraded stuff from AP vendors to v16, but yeah, this is still better than nothing.

FYI: Just saw it on Deltias stream, the crafting style books cost between 250k (for like boots and so on) and 500k (for swords for example) AP...

3 at 100,000 AP = 300,000
6 at 250,000 AP = 1,500,000
5 at 500,000 AP = 2,500,000

To get all 14 chapters it requires 4,300,000 AP.[/quote]

Well, at least they are expensive, meaning we can make gold out of AP again. To kinda finance our fun

If I remember correctly, you look like a ninja.. or samurai..

NINJA
SAMURAI
that's f'king awesome

imredneckson · October 2015

Well I just looked at the prices and if you have a few million AP you can buy the pages for the akaviri motif. I knew it was goin to cost a lot but I didn't think it was going to cost a small fortune. other than that I'm really liking the Orcinium DLC
