Where are the bone recipes?

[Ashago]

I've acquired some severed bone in my travels, but have yet to find the actual recipes for them. I believe the recipes were L12 in beta, but I can't seem to find them anywhere now.

Thank you,
Ashago.

[javalin]

well i made it to 19 outfitter in beta had all the known books never saw a recipie for bone anything

[Niami DenMother]

The tier 2 craftsman recipes using rares never made it in during beta. Have been hoping to see some drops of books now that the rest of the craftsman recipes are in (they'd been waiting on food and furniture), but no word on anything yet. Have been waiting for the dust to settle a little before I /nudge Beghn. :)

[Ashago]

Really? Hrmmm...

I saw a couple people selling bone bows the other day. I assumed those were player made. In fact, now that I think about it, I did a search on the EQ2 items database and it brought back several bone items. I guess they were dropped items instead.

The Prima guide coming out will be listing some bone recipes as level 12, hence the reason I thought the books were already in game. Perhaps those are the recipes in the books that are currently empty.

I've been curious what a bone bed/chair look like. :)

[Dreadalus]

Bone bows are definitely dropped. And the books are in game, they're just empty and unscribable, which doesn't prevent people from trying to sell them at a staggering price, of course. :eek:

Did you harvest the severed bone, Ashago? Can you tell us what the name of the node was? I'm a little confused about that still...

[roob]

i noticed something that was called a small pile of bones (or there abouts) in the commonlands last week, but it said i didn't have enough skill to harvest from it.

this week i came across another one (different location than the first).

i'm not sure how it is in Antonica, but in the commonlands there's quite a bit of brown piles of bones scattered throughout the area so the average person would totally miss it.
the pile of bones i managed to harvest "a severed bone" (i think it was called that) was a lot smaller than the ones you normally see all around the place. you'd probably notice them more if you find them in places out in the open away from other bones. visually they were a cluster of a few brown bones on the ground, about the same diameter as a watermellon. so not too small or too large.

it only gave me one bone from one try before it vanished.
the bone was listed as No-Value.

Decayed bone node in commonlands

/nods
Spamming tab helps find nodes too. I've one of the commonland bone harvests to my credit. Only one swing per node it seems, grrrrr, lol.

[Dreadalus]

As an update on Severed Bone, it is a separate node, and you need more than 40 foresting skill to gather from it. I had 44 skill and could not harvest, but there was a maple node nearby, and in 3 harvests of that went from 44 to 46. Then I could harvest the bone node and got a piece of severed bone.

[Ashago]

As mentioned above, it was its own separate node. I'm lucky enough to have 2, so I can make something (I'm guessing the bed and stuff want planed bone, so you'll need 2 to make anything).

[Astarelle]

I found one of these nodes today and it only let me forest from it once. I got one of the bones so I was thrilled. Did someone get to it before me or is this a one shot only node?

Also will there be recipes for these in the dropped advanced books? And are there recipes in those books yet? Mine still appear empty.

[Eorendil]

Rares will only give you one pull from my experience.

[Ryndar]

I came across one in Antonica and harvested from it and got nothing :( , oh well, hehe. Life goes on....

[Eorendil]

Yeah... you can fail on rares too. I'm pretty sure I've fail trying to get an alder or two.

[Ngreth Thergn]

Rares will only give you one pull from my experience.
They removed that :) (people were jsut running around pulling ONE harvest and moving on to try and get the rare)

Now they can be any of the 2-4 harvests a node gives :)

[Eorendil]

Thats cool. The only rare I've harvested lately was a bit of bone out in Antonica and that spawns as its own node so it only gives you one pull and then its gone. Of course, its real easy to spot if you're right on top of it.

I saw these in beta in Antonica.. I just didn't have the skill at the time to harvest them.

[Bleu]

everytime..i pick up a bone..it starts another collection quest..chipped bone collection, orc bone collection, gnome bone collection..elf bone collection..did you know humanoids in norrath all have less than 10 bones?..least that's how many i imagine..more or less i have to collect..anyways:)

peace,

bleu, knight of nature

[SlyyDaugg]

Wrong bones, Bleu. Severed bones do NOT start a collection. Those are the ones we're talking about here.

It IS a bug that the severed bones are 1-shot harvests from their own separate nodes. They are supposed to be a random chance from the normal tier 2 wood nodes, but someone did an oops and made them their own separate node. Please /bug this if you continue to find them as separate nodes, as it's an outstanding issue from the end of beta still.

[Magnum]

Have found 3 of em so far. Bug each one. Waiting patiently for them to put the advanced recipies in so I can use em =)

[Haldur]

I can't believe that there are no recipies for them -- I got one the other night, and had no idea what it was for. I checked out the market on Butcherblock, and saw a few for sale, and priced mine accordingly. It sold real quick for like 40s. Someone must have a need for them... (either that, or someone is into speculatoin and has lots of inventory space).

[StXopher]

Ahhh, the joy of unbridled speculation. Everyone just KNOWS that it will make some fantastic rare item (probably in the crafted trades). Well, I have an inside scoop on the REAL reason for the lack of recipes in the books for them.

They will actually be in the recipes for the....provisioner! Yes, the bones will be used for special "broth" and "stock" mixtures that will last for...an hour and FIVE minutes instead of the normal hour!

Yes, the reason they have been so slow getting the recipe in the game is that they are to busy laughing at it to get it typed in. Oh those silly programmers!




(needless to say, none of this is real and should not be taken seriously)

[FrostDragonsinger]

As a thrill jocky bard I hunt high risk areas and have found at least 6 withered bone piles and got 3 bones from them and each has been a single harvest per pile. 2 of the piles were almost on top of one another. you sur e this is not just semi rare?

[Cenen]

There must be some recipies for these rare severed bones. I was also lucky enough to harvest one (only got one harvest before the node went away). Several people were selling them -- the cheapest one was 15 silver. When I next went to merchant mode I also listed mine for 15 silver and someone bought it. I don't think anyone would pay 15 silver if they didn't have a recipie for it.

Taken from a post by Moorgard yesterday, and reprinted on the front page of our main site, regarding a mega patch next week:

Advanced craftsman books will grant their recipes correctly

So, patience, grasshoppers, our dropped books *should* have recipes next week sometime.

They do NOT yet have recipes on live. We DO know that they're considered the rare "wood" for tier 2 (which is why they work off the foresting skill when harvesting them). As to what they'll make ... we wait and see.

[Astarelle]

Not true. They might have purchased it in faith that there will be recipes someday and 15s is a lot more reasonable than the 1g they will likely go for once the recipes are in place (I've seen them priced at 1g on Butcherblock even without the recipes in place).

For example, I purchased a piece of Fir for 2s even though I know it can't be refined yet. Someday......

[Ygdrasil]

With a chance of spamming, I just want to announce that I found the Withere bone node twice today in Antonica. Once failed and once with succes: Severed bone.

The nodes were the exact same place both times, I don't know if it is just by incidental, yet it should be mentioned. I am a lvl 57 skilled forester, just for record.

Loc: neg 499, pos 402

Second time was just after reboot of server.

Good luck hunting

[scottsh]

In case it matters, I believe we found such a node INSIDE Fallen Gate too. VERY strange - it looked like a skeleton that somebody had forgotten to loot but lo and behold it yielded severed bone! At least I think it did (it got something - one of the group members got it and indicated it was a piece of bone - I suppose it might have been another type now that I think about it.)

[Eileah]

(I'm guessing the bed and stuff want planed bone, so you'll need 2 to make anything).

Historically speaking bone hasn't been used much in furniture, but it has been used in ladies undergarments which were "boned" such as corset's, brassiere's and the combination of both which is a corselette.

Bone (elephant tusks esp) is also Ivory and used in jewelry and musical instruments such as piano's and guitars, and as decorative inlays in some furniture.

And there is always scrimshaw =)

Just adding my random thoughts,

[saaddar]

If you look in the Prima EQ2 guide, there are recipes for bone furniture using planed bone. Since severed bone comes from a rare wood node, craftsmen dropped books are bugged and the other dropped books seem to cover recipes for rare drops, its safe to assume that this is where our missing recipes for bone items are.

-Saaddar

[Nai`Ji]

I would say that the "fixed" craftsman books will contain the bone recipes. There would have to be bone furniture due to the node type. What really has me wondering is whether or not the product of these recipes actually yields a different appearance. Maple and Ash furniture looks the same. Hopefully the bone furniture looks different. I can see people paying decent money for a bed with skulls on the four posts or something :P

[TestCrafter]

Hi all...I'm new here, but I can verify that the lvl 10 and lvl 14 advance craftsman books have the bone recipes in them on the test server.

[Dekess]

Hey Testcrafter,

Are there any bow recipes contained within the books? Kinda interested as I discovered 3 bone nodes one night within a 2 hour time frame... weird.

On a side note, that same harvesting session I first turned up the 3 bones and kept moving incase more spawned .. all the while clearin nodes along the ways... Rough Coral and a non sullied pelt also turned up before long. Another guildie in also checked in with a bone find out Qeynos way (me lil Ratonga being evil). Guess if there is two or more rare's showing up around the same time.... start harvesting :D

Sadly, the Prima guide went to press before the recipes were even created. (I talked with Beghn at the end of beta when I was trying to test all the furniture and was running into enough bugs to stop my testing dead.)

So, while the guide may have recipes for bone furniture, and those recipes may be "best guess" based on the recipe progression for other furniture sets, it's still all guesswork until folks on Test scribe the books and see what they ended up as. :)

With regards to the bone bow question, that was already answered over in the Test Server Discussion forum here, if memory serves, but the person who found the book wasn't able to scribe it to check the recipe ... you might want to keep an eye out over there for more details, since we won't see the patch live until next week, at the earliest.

Hi all fyi i have foraged two of these bones now they are call withered bones >name of quenos node also on eqtraders site the node is said to be bugged atm is supposed to be part of the maple forage (rare drop ) so it would be safe to say that it is something to do with woodworkers tradeskill . hope this helps will post again if i find anything new ,,,

You are mostly correct, but bone has been and is still used in making furniture, just not the manufactured stuff you see everyday. True artisan/craftsman pieces do occasionally contain unusual inlays, including bone. They are not only extrodinarily beautiful, but a true treasure to be passed down from generation to generation.

Bone recipies are in the Advanced Craftsman books which were fixed in the last big patch from "Advance" to "Advanced".

Some of the recipies I have thus far are:
Bone Lumber
Bone Stave
Planed Bone
Bone Chest
Bone Office Desk
Bone Rocking Chair
Bone Bo Staff
Bone Fighting Batons

I'm certain there are more recipies out there just waiting to be discovered!

Also, don't forget that in real life, many utilitarian items were crafted from bone. Weapons and tools are just the more well known traditional items made by many races through the ages, such as the Native Americans.
