Quick Question here: Are the boosts to skills in this medal always completely random? or does it make a difference what class you craft it with?
TIA for replies
Completely random and gotten worse with AoM.
Man that really sucks given the amount of mats required 
They really need to take a look at crafting. It’s just too expensive especially for those of us who play multiple classes.
I made a thread about it before the expansion, looks like it’s still the same and a pain to craft if you want something specific.
In my thread i was talking about the idea the make +5 to a specific skill more common. I crafted about 6-7 and the expansion and none were + 5 to a specific skill and none had the skill I wanted. The 2 new masteries doesn’t help here.
If only the + skills were based on your masteries.
The badge of mastery recipe was nerfed recently. I personally view BoM as an endgame item and the requirements for it are acceptable for something that you’re rolling up multiples of given how ridiculously strong it can be.
Simpler stuff like living armor or the other new components? That’s total BS on the prices, hopefully they end up at acceptable costs in 1.0.3.0
I’m sorry but I don’t agree. If you have absolutely no control over the skills you’re going to get and with the number of masteries we now have, it is way too expensive.
What build needs a +5 badge of mastery to function, will be as horribly crippled as a death knight without it?
Barely any, it’s an end game item designed to enable fringe builds or another level of minmaxing for people who have sunk a lot of time in the game.
you can always trade?..
Thx but I prefer not to. I could always use a mod and hack one as well. I don’t do that either.
The chance to get a skill you wanted on it was already small, nevermind getting the same skill twice for +5 which I have never managed to get.
With two new masteries the chances have become so poor I just don’t bother anymore.
Sorry for necrobumping this but as most peeps said, this got even worse in AoM
Whats going on with this? Is there any chance to change the results?
Atleast with the class you are trying to craft it being specific to the class
I have a demo with soldier? give me only demolitionist and soldier bonus
10 violet colored bunnies sacrificed in the name of your lord and savior and master of cairn - Chthon does the trick
Or so I’ve heard
but Cthon you are an enemy :[
Are ones that are currently violet enough? Or do they have to have been born violet?
Also are baby bunnies okay? The big ones are hard to hold still and I don’t want to hit myself with the rock.
They actually did. Their future items were redone to include per class items. Look at the Conduit of XXX Whispers. Instead of being completely random, they made a blueprint for every class.
They just don’t change old recipes.
Future items? Also please note that when I posted this they had not yet made the changes to ugdenbloom amounts etc. The new AOM items are much easier to craft now but the BOM still sucks…
Yup, but they do not change old items typically. They instead went with per class recipes in the expansion to avoid the old mistakes. I haven’t seen many builds that actually use BoM’s anymore. There are some good medals to use outside of BoM.
