I have a question? For the sublime augs, I see that some take loans, and some take the marrows and spinnerts. My warrior needs a set of augs in a lvl. What should I start collecting?

Cultural Symbols can be made by using the Tailoring, Blacksmithing or Tinkering skills.

Smithing and Tinkering use Loams, Tailoring uses Marrow and Spinneret.

As for "collecting" them. They are very rare and only drop in 4 zones basically. Meldrath's Majestic Mansion, Steam Factory, SHIP Workshop and Crystallos.

Sublime augs on Tunare server sell at 500,000 platinum or more.

Sublime augs are almost always special order jobs.

If you want to buy one plan on 400k or more and put up a /buyer with exactly exactly what you want. Then advertize it some. It may be weeks before you get what you want, but the good news is that any race/class combination can make you your aug if they have the ingredients and have finished the quest.

Elegant armor will be a little more difficult. That can only be made by someone of the same race who has 300 of the appropriate skill for the type of armor. 300 smithing for plate/chain and 300 tailoring for silk/leather. There just are not that many ppl out there of uncommon races like Froglok or Iksar who also have 300 of the correct skill.

elegant armor pieces may cost you upwards of 700k per piece considering the cost of components, the difficulty of the piece, and the work it took to get to 300. It takes 350k of materials alone per piece.

The porous loams for the Sublime do drop in other zones. We had one drop from a trash mob on the way down to Hatchet in Demi. This was AFTER the patch that reduced their drop rate and the zones they drop in. I will admit I havent seen them in any other of the high end zones though.

Wow, had another one drop in Demi off trash, Orc.

I think the drop rate was said to be 30 times greater in the 4 zones. So yes it does still drop from lvl appropriate mobs in other zones but its a very tiny percentage amount.

Thank you dvanman for volunteering to provide allakhazam readers with the info on the updated armor. Being a volunteer contribution site we realize that it has taken you a while to get all the tasks done. Look forward to you posting soon.

Strange how my original post got deleted - I guess some find the truth hard to swallow
Actually you got rated below the filter for being stupid. Learn to internet.

That's the problem here on Alla's, they allow people to rate a post until it is no longer viewable. So all the platinum sellers that make huge profits making these symbols rate down any post (more than likely this one) until it vanishes and then try to tell me oh ya, we look forward to having you contribute. Problem is, LOTS of contributions have been made regarding these cultural quests over and over... and lots of requests to have this information posted have also been made. All to no avail.

So you tell me why Alla's would continue a system that ONLY benefits those that have nothing real to say other than to silence those that truly do have something valuable to contribute?

Fact is this, My post was essentially silenced / removed / called it by whatever name you wish, it is gone... for one reason only, it spoke the truth.


First off. You can change your filter up at the top of the frame there (see?). Then, you'll be able to see any post no matter what it's been rated. So they don't "disappear", unless you want them to.

Also, it's highly unlikely there are enough plat sellers who are regular posters to do what you claim. We tend to bash those folks... Hard. Most likely you got hit with the rate stick because you posted inflammatory and frankly stupid accusations about the site, while not realizing that (as Jonwin nicely put it), this is a volunteer contribution site. If you want those tradeskill formulas to appears on the site, all you need to do is post them in the appropriate sections and they'll put them up (or talk other people into doing so).


Here. Let me present a counter conspiracy theory. Most of the people who figure out the most profitable tradeskill formulas don't really want competition, so they tend to *not* submit them to a site like this. And that's why they don't appear. It certainly does not require any specific action by the people who run this site and makes a hell of a lot more sense then what you proposed.


And that's why you got rated down...

In addition, eqtraders is still the go to site for trade skill info.
I not filter posts so your original rant didnt disappear, as gbaji pointed out.
You did however aggravate some folks. Me I rarely rate down, but if it makes you feel better use the button on me.

It most certainly did NOT speak the truth. Your paranoid delusions have absolutely no base in fact.

However, what is based in fact, is that Allakhazam's information is gathered mainly by players and users of the site. So unless you wish to post the information yourself, please stop *********

You have to become a scholar or better to rate something up or down, so it's unlikely that any plat seller would get that status anyways.

And it would be helpful for you to link to these "numerous" attempts to get the various information up on the site. That is, not including post like yours, just demanding information without the desire to help find such information.

Dvan,
I understand how frustrating it can be when some of these more popular sites arent up to date, or contain incorrect information. Consider though; you could be figuring all this information out without the benefit of these sites. You could be relying on your own skills of exploration/deduction and your fellow players in game to figure out quests/strategies/etc. But then, that would be hard and/or challenging.
