Greensteel Deconstruct
Aug 22nd, 2012 at 11:41am
Print Post  
I did some deconstructing last night and have a dumb question.  I went to deconstruct a min 2 dwarven axe, and the crafting altar gave me 2 options.  One was just a normal deconstruct and said it would give me back some valuable ingredients.  The other one was called a min 2 deconstruct and said it would give me back many valuable ingredients.  Am I missing something here?  Why wouldn't you always do the one that gives you back moar?  But then I got nervous thinking the one that only gives you back some valuable ingredients maybe gave you less, but maybe it is a chance for more larges? 

Secondly, I have an old ass quarterstaff that I made for my wizard when greensteel was first introduced and before there were any known recipes and it is just a mangled mess of shit.  It's only tier 2.  I tried to yellow dopant it, but it said there weren't any recipes for it and it wouldn't let me deconstruct.  WAI?

Is it plugged in?

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

They probably didn't code for a vibrating quarter staff.

She did say it was all mangled, so perhaps even the altar wants nothing to do with it knowing where it's been.

You don't get quality help like this on the other forums.

There are a couple of different decon recipes:

1) single shard decon. Gives back half a dozen or so large/med/small
2) single shard, with essence of cleansing. Gives back half a dozen of each type, plus essence.
3) dual shard decon. Gives back about a dozen or so of each type.

You want to choose the decon that gives you back an essence of cleansing if the item is cleansed (even though on a dual shard item, that means getting back 1/4 of your ings, instead of 1/2), but otherwise, choose the dual shard decon if it's a dual shard item.

As far as I understood this one option should give you a percentage of the ingredients from one shard on a dualsharded item, and a cleansing stone if the item has been cleansed. The other option should give you a percentage of both shards, but not the cleansing essence it the item have been cleansed.

I have no clue why there are two options on weapons though  Shocked

It's nice that Turbine was super helpful in its menu descriptions.

This feels like a good place to start up a few rounds of "A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob on the End".

Since it isn't tier III can it be deconstructed? I am not sure of the rules.

Did you put the Tier 2 staff in the Altar of Subjugation?  I believe it will say no recipes available if you put it in the Altar of Devastation.

Awesome, thanks!

And thanks to the rest of you fucks.  I love you guys.

As for the staff, I tried to make a greensteel version of that vibrating Harry Potter broom all the kids were locking themselves in their rooms to play with!

I broke down and bought a yellow dopant to deconstruct a Lit II Khopesh my Arti has on him from a previous life.  What did I get?  Large Bone, Large Shrap, Large Chain, and 5x Large Arrowheads.

No stones, no scales.  Fuck you very much.

Really? I got back most of my large scales and stones.  TO be fair, that was all I cared about as well.  I will use more of them.

Really really.  5 Large Arrowheads, or more.  I'm really only looking for stones.  I think I have over 30 scales but I'm down to 12 or 13 stones...

Stones are my main goal, scales secondary.  For some reason though, I have about 7 chains.  It is a little weird.

I can probably help you out Yogi. I don't have any current plans to build any GS items so I can get you some stones.
