OHHHHHHH NO !!!!!!! first off if you do trade skills you will not use them in and COMMON recipies-- but if you make CULRAL armore ,witch is better than defiant, you will use them. all the loams and ores and webs that the merchants will not take is used in cultral but it is a long task to complete so be prepared to open 8-10 slot bags and save large amounts to be able to make a few sets (this is low lvl GM (grand master) gear,and sells in the millions when you get higher lvl at it. i make plate so i have to colect all the ores but i do know you will need the loams to make stitched energeic stuff. so plz dont destruy them youll lmake more money using or trader moding these than you could all day camping giants or named.
as of 4 mar 09 this still isnt useable in cultural... or any recipies ...according to allahs or eqtraderscorner sooo even thugh i have a couple i was " holding on to in case they came out with it" i wouldnt recommend anyone hold this item .. just destroy it unless you have uber amounts of bank space and absolutely no skill in tradeskilling and might work on it someday :)
