QUESTS
Beastlord Epic
- There are no longer two axiom within the Great Divide that share the same name.
“The AOE radius on Tradeskill Apprentice priest 2hander procs has been reduced from 25m to 5m.”
These weapons still display a 100% proc rate, in contrast to every other apprentice item I’m aware of. I can’t help but wonder if they’re lowering the radius because they know it’s too powerful, but haven’t noticed the real reason why.
Is there a site that lists all of the TS Apprentice recipe items? I haven’t looked very hard for one, thought I would take the lazy and ask here.
Coopendor – I’ve got a set on my guild website – http://dandl.guildlaunch.com – Click on the Wiki link and look down at the bottom of the page for the Ancient Knowledge recipe info (links: http://dandl.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/index.php?page_name=Ancient_Knowledge_Recipes_-_Levels_10-60&gid=150552 and http://dandl.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/index.php?page_name=Ancient_Knowledge_Recipes_-_Levels_70-90&gid=150552)
@Coopendor: You can look up the reactants on Zam and then go to the “component in” tab to see what you can make from them. Here’s the level 90 items, for example:

Thank you Claviarm. Very good info.
The radius was reduced because even if you pulled the first mob back to the zone-in in ToFS:SC (for example)6 or so mobs would agro throught the walls and pop, dead priest.
