legendary jewelry and deconstruction

ZoS stated, that only jewelry obtained after summerset comes life can be deconstructed for the upgrade materials. what about jewelry in mails? end campaign rewards, weekly trial rewards and even jewelry bought in a guildstore. i bet there will be issues about items obtained on ways like mails or similar things and people will take advantage from it. Please get this thing done right ZoS, otherwise it will cause some problems.

✭Based on my knowledge of MMO games and how they work, I'd assume no. Anything "generated" before summerset will be in a specific item# range. Anything in this range will NOT be able to be deconstructed. Summerset jewelry will be in a separate item# range allowing it to be deconstructed.3 -

✭when transmutation was introduced i logged once through my chars and on one char i suddenly got a campaign end reward from around two months ago and i was probably one of the first guys to transmute an item, since the reward granted me a geode with 50 crystals in it. also rewards of the worthy from days before can be opened to get the daily guaranteed geode from them. so i am sure that legendary jewelry from any rewards per mail will count as obtained, when they are taken up in the inventory. so maybe horting stuff in your mails is a way to exploit it. i just want ZoS to know this and that they address it, if they havent cosidered this possibility yet.1 -
Checkmath✭✭✭✭✭
✭ok maybe items open in the mail will not count as soon as the mail is delivered, still campaign end rewards are delivered to a char when they log in the first time after the campaign ends. so my example for the transmutation geode might work, since the items get into the mails after summerset hits life. maybe also buying jewelry from guildstores and immediately logging out the day before SS comes will work too, since the items wont be in the mail before you have logged in again....1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Stuff like containers, like the morag tong and ashlander dailies, should be deconnable if you don't open them before Summerset drops. Not that there's really a lot of reason to hold onto a box that might have a blue ring. But, still.1 -

✭Yep but i really worry about weekly trial rewards and end campaign rewards, since it surely allows to receive a stack of legendary jewelry right after summerset comes. End campaign rewards can grant up to 5-6 legendary items, which all would be deconstructable right away.0 -

I don't see the point in this at all. Doesn't take long to level up a crafting skill anyway. just save 30,000 gold before summerset hits, give it a day or two for traders to be fully stocked of new jewellery and you'll be good to go... It's not like any of the current jewellery has the trait that increases experience from deconstruction.
Actually, wouldn't even need to do that, just run random normals or dolmens over and over, sell off non jewellery inventory and repeat. bags will be full in no time.
It looks like they're trying to fix something that isn't broken.
Researching traits takes a fixed time anyway so it can't even be viewed from the unfair advantage point of view.

You will still be able to power level, just not as fast as if you would if you had 300 gold jewelry to decon the day the patch hits.
I don't necessarily agree, but I can definitely understand why they do not want this.Edited by Dasovaruilos on April 10, 2018 11:11AM1 -

✭My question would be....Will you be able to distinguish between “new” and “old” jewelry. Or will all jewelry in Guild Vendors etc. Look the same until you go throw the dice and see if it’s deconstructable?0 -

✭I heard that there will be some kind of sign, if its deconstructable or not. Maybe something similar like the transmuted sign on your items.0 -

We will get new materials, base material is pewter as seen in previews. The old materials can not be deconstructed but the new one can.Based on my knowledge of MMO games and how they work, I'd assume no. Anything "generated" before summerset will be in a specific item# range. Anything in this range will NOT be able to be deconstructed. Summerset jewelry will be in a separate item# range allowing it to be deconstructed.
Note that its one possible exploit here, if you receive an box you can keep it in mail or in your inventory and open after summerset. it would then contain the new rings.
This can be seen on pvp rewards. Do pvp on an low level caracter, open the reward of the worthy on an cp160+ for cp160 items. i have an cp160 cadwell's lost robe simply by saving it until I had grinded to 50
Grinding just make you go in circles.

I don't think this will be possible.ZoS stated, that only jewelry obtained after summerset comes life can be deconstructed for the upgrade materials. what about jewelry in mails? end campaign rewards, weekly trial rewards and even jewelry bought in a guildstore. i bet there will be issues about items obtained on ways like mails or similar things and people will take advantage from it. Please get this thing done right ZoS, otherwise it will cause some problems.
As a statement of opinion, not fact, what I believe ZoS intends to do is release a new set of jewelry, which will consist of new IDs. This will allow players to keep what they have, but cannot be deconstructed since each piece has its own older ID.
Once Summerset is released, all in-game jewelry drops will use the new IDs.
I would also suspect ZoS will implement the crafting system such that only items with the new IDs will show up to be deconstructed.
Again, just an opinion, but this is most likely the easiest way to implement the new system.

ZOS_EdwardCommunity RepHi everyone!
We are currently working on an extensive Jewelry Crafting article that will go into more detail on all of the things the community is looking to find out about the new crafting system coming with Summerset.
Until then, here's some info we've clarified already:- You will not be able to deconstruct any jewelry you are holding on to prior to Summerset.
- You will be able to upgrade, transmute, and research existing jewelry.

✭so actually every reward from weeklies and end campaign can be deconstructed, when you take it in the inventory after SS hits life?
would be nice to have some clarification about that aswell @ZOS_EdwardEdited by Checkmath on April 10, 2018 5:03PM0 -

✭We are already past this point. But we are looking at the definition of „dropped“. Is it meant like taken up to the inventory or does stuff in your mails count as dropped. Still a guaranteed way to obtain gold jewelry right after SS is there, seems to be rewards, which arent yet in your mail box.

I think "dropped" here means "generated".
Every jewelry that has been generated before the patch hits, won't be deconstructable.
If it is generated after the patch, it will be deconstructable, unless they change something.
Jewelry in containers is generated the moment you open then, not the moment you receive them. That is why you can open a RotW container earned by a sub level 50 character on a 160CP character and get 160CP gear. The same goes for earning a container with gear but only opening it after you've leveled up.
But I don't doubt that, once they see people stacking containers, they change that too.Edited by Dasovaruilos on April 10, 2018 6:48PM2 -

✭✭It’s been awhile, but some may still remember the grind for rubidite when V14 was bumped up to V16. I get the feeling that upgrade mats aren’t gonna be super common for awhile.
It took a flipping month to get enough to make a greatsword.
Guarantee these tempers are gonna be through the roof for awhile.
Oh and hoping to get a gold mat from deconstruct. Uh yeah. Sure a good group can farm VAA in 45 minutes or so, and hope to get lucky de-con stuff.
It’s another grind no doubt.
But is gonna make you so OP. I can’t wait!0 -
Checkmath✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yeah probably. About the golden merchant, there are already threads, that she needs an update. Nobody will buy any golden jewelry anymore from her, since it needs ours to get the AP for one jewelry. Even for deconstructing its not worth it, since you get legendary jewelry much faster in ver trials, which is about 30 mins per run.0 -

It depends. I remember when they changed the world boss boxes in Wrothgar (I think to add Malacath motif pages), they changed the item codes of the boxes so only boxes that were received *after* the update had the motifs.
Best way to test it is to keep some mail unopened and when they copy our characters to the PTS open them and check.The Moot Councillor0 -

They did that a couple of times after that as well, I just don't remember exacly. I think the Writ containers? There was at least one other occasion where they changed the new containers so that people couln't hoard before. I just forgot the details.0 -
