They're newbied, not blessed. Pretty sure I tested this when I had my 5th pink and it dropped. This spellbook seen here: http://www.uorenaissance.com/player/336465 Normal spellbook seen here: http://www.uorenaissance.com/player/312552
5.9 is high bid by Jim. Auction timed to end at 9:39am est unless another bidder jumps in for the fun
Confirmed, but not sure if intended. I thought this came up before and @Chris said these spell books are to work the same as all the other spell books in the game. Can we please get clarification?
Hydrox - since it looks like I'm the high bidder, I dont mind if you want to pause the timer until you get an answer on whether it can be blessed
solid of you Het, and thanks, cause i feel like a large phallus for fuxing his shit up. i like hydro.
Thanks man I appreciate that. I’m going to have a friend test this tonight and report back to everyone.. I’m curious, if it is not, can it be blessed still so it does stay?
Alright. Confirmed that it falls to corpse on a red unfortunatly. Not sure if it can be blessed on top of that.
Chris has definitely blessed other special spellbooks for peeps. He also mentioned when this was discovered with the spooky spellbook too, that he was going to fix it so that reds can use. Hopefully we hear from @Chris soon.
Correct, if you page in via in game, or PM Chris, staff should be able to correct them to 'blessed' as opposed to 'newbied'.
I reached out last night via discord hopefully this will be confirmed. Thanks to interested parties for getting this paused in the meantime!!
Spellbooks are newbied items and are handled as such on murderer characters. Runebooks, which can be blessed via a bless deed. Do not drop on anyone. I believe that covers the questions here, while this is an anniversary, high value, item. The normal spellbook logic is still applied. We will not adjust these to blessed for a specific player as this would be unfair to all the players before who had similar items that were not blessed.
So what makes anniversary spellbooks different from the elvish tome drops then? The ones that come from the instances are blessed. Its not consistent. As an anny item this should have the same rules apply to it as ANY spellbook would. Murderers keep their spellbooks, including the flaming and frozen. It appears that only the anny ones drop.
Well, with this info, I’ll unpause this auction and leave it for 24 hours from this post. Thanks everyone!
