Re: October 31st patch message
Thinking its not a nerf with the spells. I believe they uping the rate of drops. Also they not giving out spells that drop in other expansions as rewards or store bought spells. So you will receive only spells you can recieve in PoP. I dont see this as a nerf I see this as positive.

simply uber! 1 day after i bought one for 5.5k. what are those people thinking??? they afraid that an endless supply of bandages will ruin EQ economy? not like there aren't similar items out there already.
my only thought (any maybe hope) is: will they retro-change existing ones or just nerf new ones? they managed to do it with CoS - why can't they here?

Re: October 31st patch message
So now you pay what, 40pp (~cost of a battery) for 20 stacks of bandages?
Good thing I kept my nice cheap Embalmers Skinning Knife.
Re: October 31st patch message
Actually, class 1 batteries are like 10pp. And think of it this way. 20 charges = 20 stacks of bandaids. 20 x 20 = 400. Buy 1 stack of batteries for 200pp. 20 batteries x 20 charges = 400 stacks. 400 stacks x 20 bandaids per stack = 8000 bandaids. That's not bad for 200pp, imo.

Re: October 31st patch message
Not when folks were paying 5k-12k for the press, and an Embalmers Skinning Knife is unlimited procs, procs on greenies, and cost about 450pp.
This was a big nerf to tinkers. The value of this item just crashed.
Re: October 31st patch message
Yeah, it was all/all. Really sucks for people (including myself) that paid good money for this item within the last week. =(
Sig nerfed per rules. Signiture + Personal Photo may be no larger than 15k. Please read the FORUM RULES. Thankyou. --Gyorg Edited by: Gyorg at: 10/31/02 2:33:44 pm
Re: October 31st patch message
Um...I have one, and when I was clicking it before, it was a stack of 20, not a single bandage. /shrug Unless they changed it to summon one band-aid at a time, it still summons 20.

Re: October 31st patch message
My Guess is the amount of bandages summon changes with level, similar to the mage spell. When mages first get summon bandage, they can only get 1 too. Once you level to the high 40s is when you can summon full stacks in one cast

Re: October 31st patch message
Embalmers Skinning Knife is pierce and not Monk usable.
ESK summons bandages based on a per level basis, when I used it on my 20 warriro I think he proc'd 10 per proc. I however proc full stacks.
Maybe they did the same on this? That way you'd be less apt to pass it off to your level 1 twink as a way to get him relatively cheep bandaids.
Re: October 31st patch message
It works like the Embalmers Skinning Knife, I believe. You can only get an amount of bandages = half of your lvl (as far as I know), although I didn't have this press long enough to really use it. I sold it moments after I bought it for 4k to a guy that was trying to find the merchant I bought it from before I was and offered me 6k for it. Who am I to refuse free 2k?
I still have my knife, and it's actually kinda fun while you're sitting in the lava in Lavastorm to raise your Bind Wound, to go around and massacre every mob in the area just to replenish bandaids

Re: October 31st patch message
Currently the Gauze press is broken. DOes not work at all post patch. Im guessing the servers will come down again, or the guides will be switching them out all night.
