So I guess chips will be even more valuable when the patch comes out.It was mentioned that the formula would work with any weapon now and that the formula was "changed". What does this actually mean? Hard to say, but here is what the formula looked like in previous versions.
v1.00 to v1.06
6 gems/skull (any type and quality) + 1 sword (any type) => socketed long sword
this was a normal Long Sword with 3 sockets
v1.07 & v1.08
3 chipped gems + 1 sword -> magic, socketable long sword (3 sockets)
note that the output was only a Long Sword and not any other type
v1.09
3 chipped gems + 1 sword -> magic, socketable sword (max of 3 sockets depending on what is allowed on the sword)
This formula was the first to start returning a sword using the same item code as input sword.
For what they are changing? Maybe higher quality gems? Probably at least another item like a 1-space jewel or a rune to make it not quite so easy to use the formula? If the do increase the the items needed to do the formula, hopefully they kept it so that you could put a 2x4 item in along with all the other ingrediants.
