Gems and Metals - Please respond GMs.

Will there be any premium metals and gem locations for the current trades? It's been months that they have not been available to mine and I would like to know if they could be placed somewhere now. Put them in with an existing cave or spend a bit of time and create a cave far north or somewhere with enemies inside, but please it would be nice to have access to them.

Titanium, Mithril, Diamonds, Rubies, and Emeralds. All the mines that are known do not have them and I was accepting the fact that the new trade system should be in soon, but that was months ago and I don't believe it would take long to place some of these back into the world. If there is some reason why they are not in then it would be great to get a response.

Right now I've been spending a lot of time scribing so that I can trade high-level spells with another Wizard, but it appears now that I do not have the gem dust for making any of the top spells. I'd hate to think that I don't need to work at it any more...

So unless there's an obscure mine somewhere around the land that is yet undiscovered, I believe these metals and gems are not around and I'd like them put back into the world...somewhere...please.

Why'd ya make a poll?

I mean, yeah they are working on it already, on a new system... so.. live with what you have now and let the DM's and builders concentrate on the new rather then the old? I would have voted for the second, but I liked the third answer more. So there.

As far as I know the first three, Titanium, Mithril, Diamonds, do exsist. It just takes the right timing and a bit of patience to find them.

The new trades system, last time I checked, was still being worked. But I'm guessing other, more important, issues have taken priority.

I must admit.. I only knew of one place that a number of gems and a couple of ores could be got from.. and if that is no longer there. (which I believe it is indeed gone) then i would have no idea where to look.. all i can say is that diamonds, rubies and emeralds where all a waste of time and made nothing of any worth.

Would they continue to use the placeables in the new system, or would it only be for the CNR system at the moment? If it can be used for later, then it's not a waste of time to place them.

Those gems I mentioned I need the dust for scribing the highest level spells. Good for mages to trade their knowlege among each other.

The titanium is used for tipping iron swords to make them +2 weapons, though you can't enchant the swords with fire then, so it's not so big of a deal.

The Mithril makes armor, but I'm not sure what properties it has. It can further be made into adorned armor using gold, and it sounds like it'd be worth wearing, though I have no idea on it's properties.

The gems I think can be discovered randomly when washing off mystery minerals, though that would be very difficult to get many of. The metals are just impossible to find.

One thing I am thinking about then is to formally think up and request perhaps a quest that would require a mine being built. I am thinking perhaps having some dwarven group discover a place to mine, when they're expanding their tunnels (perhaps the flamefist or the torinvhork), though the mine was used by something in the underdark and we must seal their access to it...

Ahh.. didn't know about the gem dust! Not sure if the current stuff could be used but regardless the location of the mine could be used.. so yep a great plan!

Do we have a possible date for when the new crafting system is coming, even in a beta form?

No can do. It must have been a projection of a wish.

A new trade system is a massive operation. I hope he ain't doing it all alone. I mean, man! just look at the excel sheet of CNR!

I just hope it won't be just a rewriite. I would like to see it this way that there are 3 main collumns of trades. because now too many crafts are intertwined. It would be nicer to have to choose a whole column with trades. In that column you can study 3 or 4 different crafts witout having to study outside the column to be able to the craft you want to focus on.
