FIXED Stone necklaces are enhancable, and shouldn't be.

[DewCono]

In my research to figure out what all is alterable for human to gargoyle, I stumbled on this information:
https://community.stratics.com/thre...etal-tool-charge-on-a-gargoyle-amulet.328672/
Currently those Gargish Stone Necklaces are enhancable on ServUO.

 

[Dan]

How many of these have you enhanced?

 

[DewCono]

I have only these 2 in the sets I made.

 

[Dan]

So those were imbued, reforged, then enhanced?

 

[DewCono]

These were crafted as "iron" quality granite, reforged, powder of forted, imbued, enhanced.

 

[Dan]

Thanks, so Forged Metal was used on them to complete it?

 

[DewCono]

Yes sir.

 

[Dan]

Do you have any charges left? Do me a favor and try to enhance a junk one. Not only should it not work but I also added in checks to make sure a charge is not consumed.

 

[DewCono]

I do believe I'm all out of charges at this point. I burned a handful making shields before I discovered shields shouldn't really be usable on throwers.

I will however try to enhance a junk one without a forged metal and see the result.

 

[Dan]

Okay thanks, report back here with your findings please.

 

[DewCono]

I tested the following just now:
Created an "iron" Quality Granite Gargish Stone Necklace and attempted to enhance with Verite Quality Granite - I was told I could not enhance it with the selected material.
I then crafted one directly from Verite Quality Granite (which can be imbued, but not reforged) and it resulted in the following:

I am not sure if you should be able to craft them with higher resistances at all as most gargoyle content is entirely new to me.

 

[Dan]

No idea on that one, the question here is specifically being able to ENHANCE them. Does my Enhance block work correctly?

 

[DewCono]

Yes it does appear so.

 

[Dan]

Thanks.

This issue has been fixed.

@DewCono has been awarded 50 Sovereigns as this could have led to a vast amount of unbalanced items for Gargoyles.

 

[DewCono]

So I just went on OSI to actually test if crafting them with a colored material would result in additional resistances. The answer is a resounding: no.
Note one is made from "Iron" quality granite (GargNeck1.png) , and the other is made from "Copper" quality granite (GargNeck2.png).
They have identical total resistances even though both are exceptional (the two with identical resistances were made with arms lore 0).
When crafted with GM arms lore they are subject to additional Exceptional resistance bonuses still (as seen in GargNeck3.png)

Should I make a separate thread for this?

 

[Dan]

I'm seeing different resists?

 

[DewCono]

I'm sorry - the total resists are the same. If the material bonus was imparted it would have an additional +2 phys +2 fire +0 cold +7 poison +2 energy.

 

[DewCono]

Dexter asked for confirmation if you could enhance these items on TC. The answer is: You can enhance them on TC however no bonus resistances are applied.

 

[Dan]

So what do you get out of it?

 

[DewCono]

What I get out of it is : enhancing them does nothing except allow you to dye / pigment them. They're ultimately considered "jewelry". Exc bonus and arms lore bonus gets applied, but material bonus does not.
Leaving them enhancable seems like it would just cause more confusion than it would cause good.
