Did the attributes of White Cap change?

carljokl · August 2016

I wasted a couple of Whitecap recently trying to complete discovering traits following a popular Alchemy quick reference sheet. It seems White Cap's last attribute was Detect and not Lower Spell Crit (to be combined with Nirnroot). Is this a change that was introduced? If so it is a shame there are still quite a few sources saying it is lower spell crit floating around. It is also a shame there are not many charts around that include the new Dark Brotherhood materials like Nightshade and Glowbug Thorax etc. It seems strange if an attribute was changed but it might have helped balance things. White Cap seems to me to be the most rare core ingredient so any trait that can only be created from it would also be hard to produce. The charts I have seen show Nirnroot + Whitecap as the only way to create Lower Spell Crit meaning whitecap would be the only way to create it (and Nirnroot for that matter but Nirnroot is much easier to find).

Yes, several reagent attributes have changed. That reminds me, i need to update my spreadsheet ...

Lower Spell Crit or Lower Spell Power??
But since the second Lower Spell Crit is now a treat of butterfly wings they probably changed something...

http://www.sunshine-daydream.us/ESO/alchemy.html#Atraits shows how to combine the reagents to gain knowledge of all traits after the change back in May that made your old reference inaccurate (the trait was changed with Dark Brotherhood).

This was changed in 2.4.0

Alchemy
Changed the fourth alchemical trait on White Cap from Lower Spell Crit to Detection, to avoid a quadruple effect match. This quadruple match was not supported by the system, and is no longer possible.
