[quote name="Crowbar" date="2021-01-17 16:27:14" ] I support the general idea. We could also have more recipes that incorporate these battle stones. [/quote] Honestly, I would just prefer more recipes that use the battlestones than have to have baldwin coded to either create a new transmutation material (or more than one, since some people want things like vistas and skins to be melted down as well) or to make them turn into a random ingredient that already exists. It would be faster, and they could take more of the items out per recipe than transmuting one item every 30 minutes could.

[quote name="NorthSong" date="2021-01-17 09:28:08" ] yeah, or alternately maybe they could transmute into -anything- at random, slime or muck or goop or whatever? I'd still gladly do it :P [/quote] I like this idea more, since we already have over 20 levels worth of recipes without a new material. I guess adding more recipes would be fine but I like the idea that they'll give you whatever. tentative support.

[quote name="Valheru" date="2021-01-18 12:18:52" ] If battlestones could be made into a random material I think that would make them less useful, not more. With each material having so many colours already it would be very unlikely that I would get something I need. Or cheap battlestones could become more common in recipes, but that would only take some specific types out of the system, instead of all types like gloop would. [/quote] baldwin mats have a decent amount of sale and use potential at least- every baldwin mat has at least one use in a recipe somewhere, different people are levelling their cauldrons at different times, and new recipes are consistently being added. battle items like bolts/slashes are useless for 90% of players and coli builds. [quote name="Corviknight" date="2021-01-17 13:51:04" ] Another category would actually be worthless because there isn't any recipes requiring these right now, meaning that we would all have a stockpile of battlestones to melt. It should have been implemented from day one. [/quote] better late than never? couldn't they just add an apparel set that uses the new material at the same time if they ever released this? anyway, support for a new category and/or common stones being used in more recipes. maybe they could have a recipe that can use any kind of bolt/slash/etc, or have another elemental apparel set or something that uses 1 each of ability/bolt/slashs?

Being used in less than 5% of all recipes isn't enough for them to have any form of worth. [/quote] All of the Blue materials are used in less than 5% of all recipes, around 3-4% each.

Support! I'm honestly surprised you can't transmute battle stones already. The idea of also getting a bunch of new recipes would be cool too!

I'd still gladly do it :P Also it'd be nice to be able to melt down cheap specialty items, like vistas :X those get worthless fast! Or even some genes, like the Ancient ones that drop in the coliseum. Be kinda neat if melting those made a random material but had a good chance to be the 'top' level material like blue slime or gold muck- then you'd almost feel lucky if you have such a rare yet worthless thing as a gene or vista drop for you, since they can be made into a useful material. [/quote] I vote for melting battle stones, but not specialty items. It just doesn't seem right.
