WTS Decorative Suit of Gold Armor - possibly one of a kind? Auction up!

It is. These are craftable. Bromista laid it on thick though, I gotta give him that.
??

I'm still working on my Soul Forge. Besides, Soul Forges were far from being implemented when this was obtained.

You've been gone a while, it's O.k. At the time of that posting it was a future legendary hammer recipe.

Aside note: it took longer for little weasel Babethoven to spill the beans than I thought as I was in $ guild at the time I got this. Of course $ guild bailed on UOF at the time and was playing another server so it must not have mattered to he and Famara yet...once they showed their true colors it was only a matter of time before one of them blabbed.

The suit does, in fact, drop off Mushu. But good luck farming it lol. A rare drop from a rare mob...these will not be made abundant by either spawn drops or from crafting I can assure you.

Aren't there 2 deco suits of armor you can make from the soul forge now? there is a Silver and a Gold one, not sure if they look like this one or not, would imagine if so would hurt the rarity quite a bit.

There are and they do. Fortunately there are a few things helping to preserve the rarity of the existing suit of armor:

Difficulty in obtaining a Soul Forge.

Rarity of ingredients/recipes to craft with Soul Forge.

As far as I know the only existing recipe is the one for the cannon, which is still incomplete and cannot be crafted yet. Recipes and ingredients are selling way above and beyond what they should be worth. So these new shinies will still fetch a lot of gold :)

Fair enough, I mean I guess I have always said that. But then you see items like this suit of armor not getting any interest at half that cost and months ahead of schedule.

This community is all over the place when it comes to pay to play...lol.

Kinda sucks tho to make something a drop AND a craftable.


But yeah, when it comes to the term 'craftable' with the new soulforge items... as for the reasons Bro has pointed out, you really have to use that term lightly lol.

Agreed.

Legendary "crafting" should really be called Legendary Collecting. Or Legendary Foruming.

Was really hoping that items would be a hard slog to acquire but at a linear rate.

Hell I still wanna know how the recipes work.

It's bad enough we have to rely on people running up prices on ingredients, but the same goes with recipes and we don't even know if they are reusable! Hopefully they can be added to hammers and stay with them but only time/staff input will tell.

Yeah I figured since I quit about the time these came in, that by now... there would be more known about it.

But all of these months later, and it's still up in the air? Rofl... I've also noticed.. this 'random spawning world rares' system is still not working?

I want to assume that the recipes stay with the hammer, since their drop rate is so insanely low. If we had to wait 6 months or more for every archway.. that would just suck and kind of defeat the purpose for even messing with the soulforge.

Either way, I might stick around and build a soulforge just for deco purposes ;-)

I hope new recipes added in the future deviate away from crafting current in game rares. There are so many item choices in UO to create duplicate rares. The legendary crafting market has a lot of potential.

Good news! Almost every single item that was announced or hinted at in the initial announcement was not mentioned in the latest release, so there's still plenty more out there to be seen.

There's a basically endless supply of sick deco options to add to the system. And boy do I hope they are utilized.

I think we all know the problem with rares on UOF is the dono store and to a lesser degree staff mentality.

Rares have been fucked so many times here I have trouble seeing it as coincidence.

-lime green ultra bug reporter sandles worth millions get made into bod sandals worth thousands.
-blood cloth goes from 200k/yard super rare to 10k/yard bod cloth.
-'new rare system' is implemented. Just kidding.
-'uber rares' (including several current ultra rares) are spawned all over dungeons on accident. Select people get to keep theirs and other have theirs deleted.
-event drops get put on the dono vendor for a fraction of their recent sales prices.
-stunomas PW deer mask (and my PW kasa) raffle prizes - added to dono vendor/dono rewards.
-various other shit

When the staff is asked about this the response is always 'lol we never said that wouldn't go on the dono vendor take it breezy lol'.

If @Shane came out and said 'from now on there will never be an item added to the dono vendor that already exists in the world (other dono items and cbd's excluded)', rares prices would jump up.

As it is now a 3mil ultra rare is nothing but a 3mil kick in the ass - to be delivered at a future date.
