" Gemcutters Prism Recipe: Gem with 20% Quality Reward: Gemcutter's Prism Recipe: Gems with 40%+ combined Quality Reward: Gemcutter's Prism Is this... sane? I was under the impression that GCP increased a gem's quality by 1%. Wouldn't ANY gem with ANY amount of quality over 1%, let alone maxed, be worth more than a single GCP? Does anyone ever really use this? Have I just not been playing long enough for these two recipes to make sense? On an unrelated note, has anyone tried selling three same name, same base six socket rare items, each with an equal number of red, blue and green sockets, all linked, with six-seven mods and 20% quality? ;P Last edited by D623932883#0055 on May 14, 2012, 1:10:00 AM	Posted by D623932883#0055 on May 14, 2012, 1:07:57 AM Quote this Post
If there is going to be the ability to, for example, down-grade skill gems through a vendor transaction, the existence of such transactions needs to be made apparent in-game, not in forums. The default assumption is that transactions are simple: you sell an item, you get some sort of scroll/orb combination in return. It is NOT straightforward that selling a skill gem along with a certain orb will return a modified skill gem. Thus you must at the very least provide an indication in-game that such recipes are possible, even if you do not specify exactly what the recipes are. Not to do so limits the abilities and knowledge of newcomers to the game, unless they spend time on the forums they shouldn't have to spend, or a high level player comes down off his high horse to tell the lower level player recipes. In Diablo 2, the cube made it apparent that recipes existed. In PoE there is currently no blatant indication that recipes exist. There should be.

I do not think many people will sell a 20% quality gem to vendors, like ever. The other recipe is not as bad as you might think. If you are a regen-marauder you rarely go for +accuracy support or wand-gem or a million other such gems. At some point you will have like 8 5-6% gems you do not need and if you cannot sell any of them to players, a GCP is worth a lot more to you. I appear to be living in "Romance Standard Time". That has to be good! :)	Posted by radiatoren#0601 on May 14, 2012, 9:29:50 AM Quote this Post
Well I think I got how this works but just to be sure: Do I have to sell the required items to the vendor and he gives me the reward?	Posted by Scorched#2135 on May 14, 2012, 2:54:29 PM Quote this Post

Yes, place the items of the recipe together into the vendor's selling window and the vendor will offer the result as specified in the recipe. Make Elite IV:Dangerous happen!

Some flavour text from the vendor would be enough, perhaps outlining one of the simpler recipes. Make Elite IV:Dangerous happen!

" Recipe: 1 rare, 1 magic and 1 normal of same base type and with 20% quality Reward: 1 Orb of Alchemy What does "same base type" means? For example, for a helm, is any helm/circlet/mask considered as the "same base type" than another helm/circlet/mask, or does it have to have the same name (for example "Executioner Casque")?

Same name. I do not write it like that since magic items get modbased pre- and/or suf-fix-names as explained under mods. Rare items get two random words infront of the name.

At some point you will have like 8 5-6% gems you do not need and if you cannot sell any of them to players, a GCP is worth a lot more to you. But in this case wouldn't it be far more likely that everyone would simply save the gem for another character? That's what I would do at least. Anyway... I've been playing around with these recipes and I noticed some things that need updating or further testing: " Orb of Augmentation Recipe: Rare item with 6 mods (also unidentified) Doesn't always work, specifically with low level weapons it seems. Also, I'm not really sure what the "(also unidentified)" part means. I'm pretty sure mods are created upon identifying an item, making it impossible for an unidentified item to have any relevance in this particular recipe. " Scrolls of Wisdom Recipe: Whetstone Reward: 2 Scrolls of Wisdom Gives 4 Scrolls of Wisdom, actually. " Scrolls of Wisdom Recipe: Full stack of orbs Reward: 40 Scrolls of Wisdom Did not work with a stack of Orbs of Augmentation or a stack of Orbs of Alchemy. Might have been confused with the basic Orb of Alteration and Orb of Transmutation trade values.
