    They're removing grains and you will be getting platings instead (like temper or rosin). Though updating a ring will cost 8 instead of 3 gold platings.

    currently it takes 4 platings if you have the passives to do gold (1x for green, 2x for blue, 3x for purple, and 4x for gold)

    so all this change will do is standardize the costs with that of other crafts, and remove the grain nonsense

    Unless I misheard, grains are going to convert to Platings and EXISTING Platings will become ‘Ancient Platings’ that will become multiple regular Platings.

    I’m planning to poke around on the PTS.

    So each grain will equal one plate, each existing plate will be 10 new plate and dailies will give whole plates instead of grains? And the 8 plate to upgrade to gold is with the passives?

    Hmm, I wonder how this will affect the bots, farming jewelry mats will be much less rewarding...

    The master crafting stations, jewelry crafting changes, and the group finder are the most solid things coming to the game; nothing to dislike about them.... but I also don't find them to be anything to get excited about. I actually found the whole stream to be very underwhelming and found it hard to keep my eyes open at times while watching it.
    I do think the Endless Archive could be fun, seems like they're locking a lot of small content behind it (furniture, leads).... but I can already imagine my twilight matriarch getting absolutely wrecked by the mobs since she weirdly pulls aggro and having to constantly summon her is no fun.... so I'm sure the process of going through it will get annoying fast.
    It also concerns me that they just brushed over the class sets and avoided properly showing them all.... meaning they probably know there are balance issues between the sets. I went back, slowed down the playback speed, and read them all.... some are significantly better than others, RIP sorcerer especially.... and obviously they wouldn't want to deal with any "knee jerk reactions".
    Oh, and the sets look pretty bland. I would have expected them to be a bit more well designed to suit the classes.... but I'm used to seeing the WoW level of class sets so I guess I shouldn't nitpick.

    12 platings now will convert to 120 platings later, just like those 120 grains.

    No. 1 current plating will trade to 10 new platings when they make the conversion.

    A list based group finder in addition to the queue would help with this issue, as well as allow for a realistic trials group finder.

    eg.

    Activity: <random normal dungeon>
    Rolls needed: DPS (1/4)
    Min Level: CP 160
    Description: LF DPS for fast random normal

    Would appear in a concise list that would refresh periodically, similar to oldschool battle.net
    Thank you ZOS lol.

    Also finally no more Craglorn RNG for sticker farming.

    Do you know that some, the usual ones, are going to complain and ask for compensation for the hours lost at the Halloween event?

    Regarding the update, I love it, but I would like them to include the consolidation of the surveys, I do my surveys once a week, and sometimes I have 2 or more in one place.

    Grand Master Crafting Stations
    I chose the Stations b/c I know most guildmasters would actually like to put a few decorations at the guild hall besides an endless sea of crafting tables, but as for the rest?

    Jewelry change: It will be a buyer's market for awhile, sellers and farmers are going to make a LOT less gold, and it will take awhile for guild store bids to adjust for the radical change. This should've been done when Summerset released instead of creating a pillar of the economy just to destroy it later. Sometimes better late than never isn't the greatest outcome. Not for everyone, anyway.

    Improved Group Finder: Now this qualifies for better late than never, but honestly, it is REALLY tardy showing up.

    Endless Archive: Never liked arenas (in any game, not ESO's in particular), but the class sets are what concern me. As evidenced with the new CP system (Riding Speed and Fall Damage were reduced/increased only to build them back in with CP), when new power is given, old power is diminished to compensate, for we cannot have power creep!! So, for those not participating in this sweaty combat content rehash and acquiring the new gear, it is very likely you will notice a diminution of your current power. Alas, it is time for the Arcanist nerfhammer anyway, so it was expected. What percentage of the time will a Sorceror receive Templar sets? Lots more than their own, I'd wager.
