WSA: Guide to rift gear

Recommended Posts

Thank you Rolf and CC for this wonderful new rift content.  Shutting down the rift today actually felt like a fun community event.  I was able to play in a group setting and not have to worry about private or public player run loot lottery.  I hope CC considers redoing Unique loot distribution, as I feel it causes discord in the the collective community.

how are the gems affected when the jewelry item they are socketed to is used? Do they loose ql?

 

Edit: thanx for the info, it's going to be useful for players to know what these new items can do for us.:)

If nonrepairable, I hope the drops are increased a little bit. Two rifts left me with a single shoulder pad... its going to be hell to get the matching one (of the opposite side) and if they then decay and poof it's gonna be a real bummer!

At least 1, no more than a lot.

 

JK lol. Normal gems get 0-50, star gems are 50-100 based on QL.

Maybe* I will start to sell some of the gems that I have hoarded for years then.

Do the pauldrons stack with themselves?

Seems to make native sense that they would, and it'd vastly increase the effect, else mismatching pauldrons would be overly powerful.

5. Ring of stealth detection. Improves chances of detecting stealthed players


looks like stealth isn't going to be fixed boys
step in the wrong direction.

( at least if you 'detect' a player make it so they're not in your local still )

You're literally the only person i know who thinks stealth is "broken". It's complex how it works and maybe a bit stupid at times but it isn't "broken and needing to be fixed" O.o

Not giving at least an indication that someone sees you is just a bad feature. Not broken, persay. And I know it's been that way forever, I think that it should at least have some indication that you can rely on - or at least be much harder to detect a player.
Generally I saw 3 out of like 5 people most times when we were doing our old stealth traps and it was so dodgy. Everyone knows I don't have high characteristics as well so seeing people so consistently who I know have higher (body control?) was meh as well.

IMO it was a great way to setup kills as a smaller kingdom if implemented differently.
As for the 'complete invisibility' thing they wanted to avoid. Like I said, even if it just makes your character visible to someone who gets so close.

To be fair though, last time I saw stealth used I'm pretty sure it worked almost-flawlessly despite there being many people on our side, right up until you guys were ontop of us.

Does gem ql affect anything?

How do I attach a gem to a ring?

Still kicking myself for using a 94ql star sapphire to make a gemmed staff just two weeks before this was released.

 

And I had been saving that gem for months till I got a rarity staff! :P

A bit confused about pauldrons.

Do they take damage when I casually wear them (aka do they lose quality, hour by hour, whatever) OR do they only take damage in combat?

I'm too afraid to try :unsure:

Any further info on this? Like what do inspiration bracelets do, or what do the fist bracelets do? How can we equip the bracelets? Doesnt fit in either arm or ring slot currently.

What does the 'bracelet of inspiration, seryll' do?

 

If there was a response to this post, I missed it.  I still haven't seen any info on this other than it's bugged.  Something about going in the hand slot.

I am not sure with many rifts items. I bought socketed ring i try use after several days icon effect disappear, shows name depleted socketed ring and on ring examine: [17:15:37] This ring has a socket for a gem. You could add a gem in the empty socket. The source within is depleted. So this ring is one shot use? Can i recharge it? Or must every 2 days insert gem? According some runes with priest spell which is one shot is like joke. Dont know which crazy head have this idea have rune with one shot light token. If there will be 1 cast per day, it get some sence, but some runes are forever and some one shot?

Added a 99QL Emerald to a blessed Socket Seryll Ring and on Examine,

Quote

[09:40:32] This ring has a socket for a gem. It has an emerald inserted in the socket. It bears an aura of bigsteve. It can not be improved.
