Just back to the game after many months away. Sorry I'm sure this has been answered but I tried searching and couldn't find any threads - what is special about the ToT crafting tables you can only buy from the faction merchant? I understand you need the forge for certain items (is that correct), but what about the rest? Are they just a new appearance or something more? Thanks!
You dont need any of them as all they are are a different color of the original ones. The forge you can use in Maldura and I beleive there is a collection quest that gives you a forge of brell for house or guild hall.
Eyenstein is correct, there is nothing special about them other then they look a bit different. And yes there is a tradeskill collection in Maldura that will reward you with a Forge of Brell for your house or Guild Hall, which is used to make the new purple adorns. Edit: http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Traditional_Dhalgar_Forgework would be the red shinies you need to complete for it
I personally think the new Malduran crafting tables are spiffy. I need to buy two sets, one for the guild hall and the other for my house!
Note: There are 2 seperate red shiny collections in Maldura. One gives the Forge of Brell, and atm I cant remember the other one.
