    ok here is a few notes that ive seen since I last posted and read all the way to the current finish

    1. people seem to want prosperity tools somewhere around mid range on the tool tier - reasonable
    2. people want SOTA to uphold what was offered - reasonable - way to fix this is either uphold or make a footnote on all items sold that they may become subject to change giving people knowledge of the fact they may not stay as advertised
    3. people are unhappy with time it takes to harvest and craft because its not fun - fix - don't do it then, do something in the game that is fun, no one said you had to do harvesting or crafting to play the game its only one aspect of the game
    4. people are unhappy that mobs guard nodes - possible fix - make nodes have random spawn locations that way sometimes the nodes are not being guarded - seems reasonable

    P.S. on a side note for EVERYONE - please re-read your post before posting to correct spelling errors as it is realllllllllllly hard to read some peoples posts at times - don't get me wrong I don't care about grammar or the occasional misspelt word but having almost every 2nd word either misspelt or typo'd is frustrating to read

    I promise to do that if you'll promise to start your sentences with capital letters and use correct punctuation.

    I'd like to know if we have yet seen the 'top tier' crafting tools yet? As a guess I think not.

    It will be a tough decision over the artisan at 1% and the prosperity tools at 3%.

    The artisan are not that much off. Does anyone know to what level the artisan can be upgraded?

    Originally, they were supposed to be fully upgrade-able, i.e. if prosperity were 4 out of 5 artisan could be upgraded to 5 out of 5. We'll have to see what they decide though.

    The first 2 in the 3 step mantra aren't making leaps and bounds either. ;)

    Well at least they have a mantra... so they've created something that eventually one day may actually shape the focus and design intentions for crafting/gathering. 8^)

    Nope. Nope and no. Also no. Please include me in the group of people who want what was clearly advertised i.e. Toward the higher end. If you want to charge $190 for mid-range tools please provide a full refund and a full explanation of why we should ever buy any add-on store item. K thanx.

    After careful analysis and review we believe the current state of the Prosperity Tools is not close enough to what was originally described. This was further exacerbated by the first introduction of tool engraving last release where players could finally see tools appearing in game with "similar effects" as was described originally.

    We are going through each tool right now and making sure there are at least 2-3 bonuses applied to each tool (where we had erroneously reduced them to only 1). In some cases like the fishing pole and agriculture tools we don't have skills in those areas to add bonuses yet so we literally cannot do anything there but when those skills come online we will take care of them. In some cases the exact skills listed in the original description won't exactly match what is in the game now because the skills have changed. For that we apologize.

    This won't be complete until R31 but some changes might appear in an R30 patch next week.

    Overall Summary:
    • Indestructible
    • 2 - 3 Bonuses per tool (speed, etc.)
    • Not the absolute best tools in the game but definitely really good tools
    • Better/equal tools can be made in game
    • Not upgradeable: yes we know we stated that we were considering this option at one time but we ultimately have decided not to allow this at this time
    We believe that the above statements are supported by the original descriptions.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention and thank you for your patience while we came up with a solution.

    Will this change tools already equipped in-game? Or will we have to wait for a wipe (or get new tools)?

    I agree.
