As of this date, the recipe for this still works, and IS NEEDED FOR THE NON-ENCHANTED BEGINNERS TEST. Please put these things BACK. I went out to Eqtraders, followed their recipe and IT STILL WORKS and IS NEEDED FOR THE NON-ENCHANTED BEGINNERS TEST. Note the date here, 3/11/16. I expect censorship in the media, but not in EQ or Alla!
Im now about to enter my 39th season as an Enchantress and I still wear a pair of these babies that I created back when I was around level 10. Is it just me or is this an amazing work of jewelrycraft considering how easy it is to make, how cheap it is, and the +4 int bonus (for the pair)? I can't imagine an int caster (besides Erudites) that wouldn't be wearing these during their mid-seasons.
P.S. If anyone on Xev wants one, I will be happy to make them for you at cost. I practically never fail at silver jewelry anymore.
