Appraisal skill and armor 03/31/2016 03:11 PM CDT
Is it possible to remove armor skill from appraisals for armor durability?

It's so weird that I can get certains on everything BUT armor durability when it comes to plate armor, and I'm pretty sure it is because my character doesn't have the token 100 or whatever ranks for it.

This [thankfully!] doesn't happen with weapons. It seems to only matter for armor durability. I'm not sure why you need armor skill to appraise armor durability, but it's really annoying.

I wouldn't be against armor (or weapon) skill improving your ability to appraise an armor (or weapon!) of that type, but it's just so weird to require me to train plate to appraise plate durability.

When I posted about this problem in May 2011, Kodius said that he would look into it when he got a chance (possibly while working on the updated durability scale). However, it seems to have been overlooked.

Back then, I noted that at 479 ranks in appraisal and 67 in the armor, I was getting certain appraisals for every stat but construction. I started reliably getting certain construction appraisals at around 100 ranks in the armor.



Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall rank!

I figured I wouldn't have been the first to notice/complain, but I don't mind being the one to bump the issue again, hah.
