Ambuscade tweaking

Right now they are saying, "Man, they saw right through us! I hate when the player base has a good point, it makes us work harder. Quick, someone think of a better excuse....."

My only legitimate complaint is that the npc is right next to the book. Spread them apart a good 10-15 feet.

If we have to trade it 20 times, we are more likely to make a mistake. What happens if we choose the wrong stat on the 20th trade, the cape reset to 1/20 on the new stat right? How is this better than trading the 20 and selecting the wrong stat?

You can't choose different stats unless you use the needle thing. You set the stat on the first trade

10 Abdhaljs Thread Stats Max - Example 10 DEX
10 Abdhaljs Dust Stats Max - Example 10 Attack / Accuracy
5 Abdhaljs Sap stats Max - Example 5 Double attack

Please don't. It's already grindy enough.

Hello, everyone.

We understand that trading the items one by one to augment capes can be tedious and quite the inconvenience; however, in the event that an unwanted augment is accidentally chosen, it would require waiting until the next version update to correct if you already used your needles, so we'd like to keep this as a measure for safeguarding against errors.

Furthermore, if we did decide to make changes to allow for multiple item trading at once, this would require a rebuild of the UI, which would require quite a lot of time to accomplish.

Sounds like you guys wasted the time making the UI in this manner in the first place. Isn't obvious as to how inconvenient it is to trade 50 times to finish a single cape? If anything, you should require one trade to select the stat for augmenting, and then the rest of the items to finish it out. This would drop the number of trades from 50 to 6. And if the wrong stat is selected, you are only out 1 item like the current system.

Why not just make it like you did escha upgrades? They would make the most sense. 1st trade is mezzotinting the rest for upgrades.

How exactly does trading 1 by 1 solve this problem of choosing the wrong augment though?

Which is also the same as both delves, new abj and monstrosity. The system already exists
