Question - ToV Evolving Items

[godsfshrmn]

I heard some rumours in guild chat last night that ToV will have evolving items -- he mentioned velious hunter, shawl and ring quest were the requirements. Anyone else heard about this or think it has some substance? I can't find much about this on the beta forums -- they probably would not even have this in game until after release to avoid people working on it prior to the expansion.

To me, it makes sense for them to add this- velious came out a realllly long time ago so most characters nowadays are probably new since that time. Most are not going to have any of these done. It makes sense to add this time sink to the game. The hunter's.... gives me great anxiety. There are a TON of named!

PS. anyone want to work on/share pocketfarm ini for velious zones? was thinking of typing out each named along with their PH

I spend A LOT of time on the beta boards, and none of those requirements are being discussed.

For what it's worth.

ToV WILL have evolving items, and at least one high level quest arc that will require you to do some tradeskills (JC at 338 modded... probably similar level on other TS's) and then evolve the item for a while before you can continue the arc. Other stuff required for that quest is ToV explorer and ALL missions in ToV being complete. I haven't heard of any requirements to do 15 year old content, though.

I can confirm this. IIRC it's ToV Travelers, Mercenaries, All Missions. And also need to get all 6 keys for ToFS (new ToFS).

Sum1 — I’m only aware of 1 tradeskill item that evolves. Is that what you mean by evolving items, or are there more items beyond the Earring of Rallos Zek?

If it's going to be live then Ngreth will either before release by few days or later on or maybe after first patch for ToV. This happened to EoK btw.

 

[Tovin]

According to a dev post on the forums, the Tradeskill Evolving Earring Quest won’t be available at release. I suspect it will not be until the first patch.

Some ot ToV Chase items

Chase = TBL raid gear with different names
Evolving gear = items like FF that suck at first and become awesome ostwr

the links above look like chase items ... I doubt they’ll go above 5 luck.

So does ToV have both varieties?

supposedly. I know they’ll have chase, which will include weapons this time.

My guild is going to be a little upset at whoever started the (internal guild) rumor the OG Velious hunter's is required for one of the new evolving items. There has been a guild-wide raid going for a solid week.

That’s been a rumor for months. On the bright side, you get the achievement points

Somebody *really* wanted that achievement enough to con an entire guild into doing the work for them.

Especially since every zone in Velious and Luclin has ONE named mob that is just a huge fucking pain in the ass.

Enjoy camping Vaniki! When it finally spawned after a week, I sent a message to General chat and invited damn near the entire server into a raid!

I may know who started the rumor to fuck with friends who may or may not be in your guild

Vaniki and the fucking Queen Ratfucker in DN can suck a million dicks. I think I was sitting on Vaniki's spawn point for what seemed to be two f'n weeks 24/7 (with pet classes... not actually macroing). I never want to see DN ever again.
