Ha-HA! Revenge is MINE, Vile Weed!

Did you read the patch notes recently? ::giggle::  Did you hear?  Oh, my.  Read this good news:

One of the things we’ve been hearing from players is that our Talisman making system was a bit more time-consuming than we wanted it to be.  So, in an effort to make Talisman making more accessible to lower/mid-range crafters, our Items team changed Gold Essence (originally a product of Apothecary) to Gold Dust and added Gold Dust to crafting merchants to eliminate the need for a third crafter to level their skills. Unfortunately, this change was released slightly ahead of schedule and Gold Dust had no sell price. Rather than change everybody’s character, we decided to leavethe change live. However, in order to avoid an impact on our economy, we have made it so that Gold Dust, that had been purchased prior to server restart cannot be sold but it can still be used. This item can still be traded. So, since Gold Dust could previously be bought for no cost, well, you haven’t lost anything.  

• Players who previously had Gold Essence will notice that it has been converted to Gold Dust, which can be used in all recipes that previously required Gold Essence.
• As a result of this change, Goldweed, which had previously been an ingredient used to create gold dust, has now been converted to a stabilizer for Apothecary. This is a boon to Cultivators, who could not previously create a stabilizer and it will help make tie Cultivation and Apothecary more tightly together.

HA!  The demonic seed has be purged of it’s evils!  Now what, unholy kernel?!  Now what can you do, once your crown has been untimely RIPPED?! Your time is NEIGH!  No longer shall you taunt me with your mysterious skill level requirement jumps and turn into a Talisman making item, in fact now you shall do my bidding!  And not only become a plant of some use to me, but you will now make all of my potions more stable through Apothecary as well!  Ha-HA!  Your comeuppance has been arrived, evil spore!  You shall rue the day of your very existence, and I shall bask in your slow demise! 

Victory: Cultivator!  Mwahahhaa!

 

-Note-

Enric kinda had long-standing bias against Goldweeds, as they were weeds and foiled all his lawn care attempts in the past.  Not only that, but for some reason level 50 Cultivation seeds would turn into level 75 Apothecary items, and 75 to 100, etc. which Enric deemed “unnatural and evil.”  Supposedly some words were said, his mother’s good name was called into question, and Goldweeds and Enric just had it out for each other since.  With this recent development, it seems Goldweeds, or what Enric calls “vile weeds” have lost the on-going struggle.
