Refining raw materials should give chance at ALL style materials

Recremen · June 2016

I mean, obviously not an equal chance. Rare mats should still be rare. But it would be nice to have something like chalk or potash or whatever pop across the screen every now and again. Maybe make it as rare as gold upgrade materials? Same goes for hireling mails, would love to occasionally get like, a polished shilling or some nonsense from them.

Think about it.

I think you have an excellent idea.

Yay, I love approval!

It should just be equal.
Making some rare end up creating this never ending RNG problem as more items are added to the loot table, if some are rare it becomes harder and less likely to see them.

Eventually it gets pointless

Totally agree on this, it should have a chance of dropping all style stones not just the racial ones.

I always wondered why the new Style Mats were not added to the Refining Output Tables. And, this was even before we had Mimic Stones.

Agree.

I think it's an oversight tbh. Definitely worth asking ZOS about this, maybe for ESO Live!

Wooo a Nestor response! It's like, two steps removed from a Dev response! Such excitementfulousness.

If I get a chance to speak with ZOS devs my #1 priority is going to be asking about a restyling system, to be honest.
'

Restyling! Don't like how a particular set item looks? Bored with your old Legendary gear's motif, but don't want to shell out for a new one? Restyling! Cut it, trim it, on-a-whim it! Convert your boring old items into boring NEW items! Just right-click, choose "Convert To Known Style", and open the brand new Restyling UI! Choose a motif you know for the selected item, choose an armor weight, choose a level, and FLAMOOSH! Your item now looks like that thing you picked, but with the functionality you love from the old item! And the best part? It's absolutely FREE!*

*(Warning: some restrictions apply. Cannot convert to an unknown style. Converting an item to a known style binds it to your account. Side effects may include an increase in Crown Store motif sales and player happiness.)

Like, even if we had to "invest" a certain number of style materials into it plus know the motif, I'd still be all for it and even buy some mimic stones to get me there. I just don't want such a system to be a one-off trade per style material, since all that's going to do is let me restyle dropped sets once, not really let me play with the bountiful variety of motifs available.

I welcome the idea of all style mats from refining. I remember when I got a few Daedra hearts long before I was able to craft in the style, from refining. I also welcome ANY changes to the craft system. It really needs a revamp. It's pretty boring. I rather doubt what you ask will happen, cuz it competes with Mimic stones.

It may compete with Mimic Stones, but in a small, unreliable, and unpredictable way, making Mimic Stones still the clearly better option in every situation short of buying style materials from someone else. It also remains to be seen if mimic stones are actually doing well. They could end up being like the Alliance Races motifs, and just not actually sell worth a darn.

Wait you can get style materials from refining? I've always thought they came from deconning. Where the hell have I been?

Actually, I think you can only get trait stones, but this is still a great idea either way, yes? :-)

I see the potash drops a lot from beating the big bosses or doing the dolmens. What is a potash use for?

@GreenhaloX

Potash should not be dropping from Dolmens, it should only be from world bosses in Wrothgar. It is used to make Malacath style items, if you know the motif for it.

Azure Plasm is that stuff that drops from dolmens, and is used to craft the Soul Shriven style.
