Taking the previous expansions recipe for the Secret Dawn Bastard Sword (PAL/SHD 1HS weapon) and substituting in ToV components produces a Faded Velium War Hammer. As far as I can see there does not appear to be any recipe for the 1HS PAL/SHD weapon. Hilt Mold Marquis Cut Velium Diamond Oval Cut Velium Diamond Primordial Coal Sharpening Stone Velium Sheet x2 Velium Smithy Hammer
If it's supposed to make a hammer then change the recipe! e.g. use 2x Marquis Cut Velium Diamond. Using the same recipe template and giving a totally different weapon is a pita. How are tradeskillers supposed to figure out the recipes for new expansions if they keep changing the rules ?
I probably should change the recipe. Technically not a "bug" but you are correct that it's confusing.
Buy the book off the vendor in Froststone and read the book. It's a pain and I'd much prefer to copy recipes from the last year, but it's there in plain text.
Or look on the EQTC site - all the faded velium recipes are there.... BTW - on this item, the LORE says Faded Velium Bastard Sword, but it makes the Faded Velium Warhammer (previously reported here).
If I change this. It will use the same gems, but hilt mold at least will change to wood. It will keep the gems, that pretty much say "knight weapon," but change the other parts to a "hammer/mace" build. As long as that idea doesn't create a duplicate recipe.
That works. So long as it's not the identical recipe as the sword. Any chance of actually sneaking the sword in ?
Since we're only getting one per expansion, I think it is good that the types rotate. Who knows when we will next get an expansion where one weapon type is weaker against certain mobs types (GoD/OoW, and perhaps less-well known, some mobs in EoK/RoS).
Wow. A bunch of lore is incorrect.!
