Converting Magic Items

Also how do paired items work? Like a srt of axes that swing at +2. Lower list skills fot both axes or only the one +2?

What about banquet items?

You'll need to clarify that question, unique abilities are not being affected by this change, but skills will need to be adjusted.

What is the build total converting to spells from a CP gem?, is it just the cost of build for the spell i.e. 1 for first ranks 2 for 2nd ranks 3 for 3rd and 4th ranks?

By "CP gems" I'm assuming you mean the Ritual of the Amulet which creates a refreshing point gem. Those gems are a 3rd rank Blue Sorcery Ritual, it can be traded in for a skill, 2 spells, or one of the new 'Gem' rituals. We will refund the gem used during creation of the Amulet.

Do "Event Based Skills" include a promo that you may have access to?

No, as of right now, Promos are not included, though this may be revisited.

What about racial skills you have access to?

Yes, you may get an additional usage of a racial skill with this system.

are + damage items going away entirely? if not, is it by design that characters with three or more items now will not be able to obtain them later without destroying a very powerful rewritten item?

an example: my +3 sword is being rolled into one of my new three items, with its + damage removed but replaced with many more tag skills. is it safe to say that characters who obtain exceptional swords after me will have fewer tag skills in them, but access to + damage? if this is the case, it seems strange. clarification would be greatly appreciated!

also, why are strengths and profs not being given build value, but other continuous skills are? is this by design as well?

thanks for your time.

No Alex, they are not, in fact we're making the usage of multiple weapons more viable. Anyone with multiple +Dmg weapons will determine which weapon has the highest +dmg first. That damage amount will now apply to any weapon you wield, any other weapons with +dmg may be traded. Each +dmg may be traded for a skill or 2 spells of their choosing.

Also, for your second question, they do function the same way.

I apologize for the lack of clarity and for the abruptness of all of this information, I will be more than willing to answer any questions in person tomorrow, I'll make myself as available as I can throughout the event for any inquiry about any of these changes, don't hesitate to approach me and ask away.

What happens to an item that has exactly 3 spells in it and nothing else?

You will receive one skill of any cost and I will deal with the extra spell on a case by case basis. That spell, should it be 3rd/4th rank will likely convert to a 4 build or less skill.

If we wanted to change it to a gem ritual, but we wanted to do the rewrite this event, would we be able to know what the rituals are when we speak with you this event, since published lists won't be out on the website?

Absolutely.
