Feedback Update: Elemental Workshop IV

March 8th, 2011

Welcome, adventurers, back to the surface after hours of laborious puzzle-solving down below. Yes, it's time for elemental feedback! The last time you faced such ingenious challenges was last year when we upgraded to Experienced. Today, we downgrade it back to Intermediate to be replaced by the new quest (for reason's we shall explain later). The quest's content hasn't changed, only it's rating. The major flaw with the Elemental Workshop as a whole is, according to you, the rewards - mind-numbingly tough quest followed by bad rewards. So today's the day to rectify that with an upgrade for all 5 sets of armour. Their defensive, and offensive, capabilities have been upgraded and rune saving and spell boosting powers have been added. As the difficulty of the quests increase, so do their requirements - elemental now requires 11 and  to wield, mind 22, body 33, cosmic 44 and chaos 55, along with all the original quest requirements. Most of the quests do not require the armour to be worn, only made. As such the quest requirements for all 4 quests have been left unaltered, apart from (which requires you to wear, so requires 44 Defence and Magic). These new requirements are why the quest is now Experienced instead of Intermediate. Have fun!

Elemental, mind, body, cosmic and chaos armour were all upgraded with this update. They now require higher levels to wear but do have better defensive and offensive capabilities. The stat bonuses for each full set are shown in the table below:
