Clusters...ARE BACK!

[Dallie]

Ok so if you've reviewed the new high-difficulty recipes, you'd notice that they all require crystals and/or...clusters.

Since the only way currently to still get clusters is to schlep around zones for hours in search of random elementals OR hope you get a leve that has them to fight, where are these coming from? Do we anticipate that the nodes which drop the new mats will spontaneously start giving us clusters? Highly unlikely.

Alchemy got no recipes to indicate reverse engineering of crystals into clusters which wasn't expected, but still.

I realize these are supposed to be rare items, so I can't say that it's anything but frustrating SE once again seems to have ignored the availability of basic materials for DoH jobs. Boarskins @1.19, anyone? Lol.

For those of you who've been sitting on clusters since the elimination of fine sand, kudos! ^.^

Someone already found out you can purchase Cluster from NPC in Hyrstmill (and other Hamlets once they release more Hamlet defense).

Then that's a good thing. I didn't get much of a chance to explore before emergency maintenance, but this should alleviate spiking cluster prices after a couple of weeks.
