Tier 2 wood still bugged?

Very happy to see the upgrades to tier 2 mats... however it seems wood was forgotten? Not only did the effect not get an upgrade, the base effect from tier 1 wood is gone (which never made any sense in the first place).

For example, a crimwand pine wand gives 5% focus, which should now be 10%... however, just like all the wood tier 2 items, it loses its tier 1 properties, in thie case the 2,5% spell critical chance of pine. Who would use 4x the base mats + tier 2 component + additionnal fuel to downgrade severely your item?

Given how the update went, I would expect the crimson pine wand to have both the 2,5% spell critical of pine and the double tier 2 bonus, in this case 10% focus. Isn't this what happened to all other tier 2?

Hopefully this is just something that was overlooked and not intended.

 

You should probably do a /bug, or at least tag @Lexie to see if this was intended.

 

Yep, posted a bug report. I just can't believe this is working as intended.

 

Acctually, grey pine and crimson pine should be double of the crit chance of pine with the normal bonus is gets, so 5% crit chance with 5% focus. Bronze and constantine armor has double the weapon damage of copper with damage res or focus.

 

I would add bowstrings seem to be overlooked as well. Supple leather bowstrings are the same as before the upgrade, as an example. @Lexie

 

I'm so happy that all that time, effort & expense in making bronze equipment & weapons paid off. Making the bonuses retroactive made a lot of people happy - including those who bought theirs from their friendly neighborhood player vendor.

 

Ya me too, I made some constatine before I knew this was going to happen just because everyone was just copper, and a higher focus pool gives you better regen rate. Reason I did constantine over bronze was bezerker stance takes away all the damage resistance anyways.

 

Does a hard maple long bowstave still only provide 0.1 DR?

 

I think so ya, if you go to desolis, then take a cart to renzai, scoffer has a museum there showing all the weapons and armor, and you can check there to see any changes to make sure.

 

I thought that museum was in Serenite... No?

 

It got moved.

 

That's pretty ridiculous if it still does.

 

Honestly it's not a bug. They just didn't spend enough time giving all 6 of the wood types any serious thought for archery. I have to believe this or we are in some trouble.

Ill take the cool OP strings but I find it odd that they came online and the wood types that are a few years old are still so poorly executed.

 

It does.

 

I made a Crimson Pine Long Bow the other night, the bonus was +20 focus which is largely irrelevant for anyone who's not under AL 10.

 

Quick update for thos who didn't follow the bug report thread :

Help is on the way! Hopefully
