Great. So we can't craft 4* and 5* and sell them anymore. Great job SEGA. You just killed the thing the AH would be used most for.
The update to crafting will kill the market. Who cares about the AH now?
I'm sorry, I haven't been on SK since Saturday. In what way has crafting changed so that 4 star and 5 star crafting/selling is impossible? It seemed to be working just fine last I looked.
@ Feynt
I suggest to look at the patchnotes that were just posted up in the announcements.
Agreed... I was most pleasant until i read this side-note. I WAS in the market to buy a volcanic sally set, but I decided to put it off until the AH, when maybe I could grab it without spamming trade, and not have to down-grade my armor just for the sake of leveling up a different set.
Now, with this change, I'm literally forced to take another few days out of my normal gameplay schedule just to repeatedly run jelly kings solely for HAVING the dern items. Not to mention, the 4 and 5* recipes that I don't have, which I'm now required to run the levels beforehand for, which honestly I welcome that change, but now with bound 4 and 5* items, I'm not so sure anymore.
Crafting using a bound item will create a bound item. So whoever adds the heat for 4/5* will end up being the person it's bound to.
It should be noted recipe prices are being cut (and the refund implies significantly), so to some degree I expect people will just stockpile recipes to resell, reducing the net effect in the long run to people having to do the final steps on their own.
HAHA soooo glad I never made a faust or whatever!
Start crafting now! Alchemy costs are going up!
It was fun while it lasted. I guess we have to get our own Avenger UVs now lol
Nick is soliciting feedback on this release here: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/8527.
Huh. Didn't think of that... the recipe is the primary constraint though... since every other component can be traded.
Recipe demand increase predicted.
