Adamantite shells are currently not in the game. They should be. Wind trader Lathrai in shattrah is supposed to sell the schematic for “Adamantite shell machine” as of patch 2.3. Prior to patch 2.3 he sold the pattern for the shells themselves.
If you are waiting until a later phase to have him sell the adamantite shell machine pattern, then he should be selling the pattern to craft the shells directly. He is currently not selling either.
Please fix this oversight and either give the npc the schematic from 2.3 or the schematic from pre-2.3. At least one of the two should be in the game. Adamantite shells were in at launch.
Adamantite Shells and their arrow equivalent are vastly superior ammo compared to Revered CE arrows or Revered HH bullets. For the same reason we don’t have the Knothide Quiver or Quiver of a Thousand Arrows that invalidate the Consortium/Kurenai bags, we aren’t getting these Hunter improvements until a later phase. There’s no reason to immediately invalidate the reputation-based ammunition with an easily crafted Engineering recipe.
they were added in patch 2.3, but were not at that point in the game yet so they wont be out until later. were on patch 2.4, but content is going close to its original patch cycle.
No, they were added WELL before patch 2.3. The adamantite shell MACHINE was added in patch 2.3. That item REPLACED the shells. The shells themselves were directly craftable before that point, well before 2.3. As I already explain in my original post.
I don’t understand why people can’t tell the difference between the adamantite shell MACHINE schematic and the actual SHELL schematic. The latter was removed in 2.3 and replaced with the machine.
I never said anything about the arrows. The arrows were never directly craftable. They were added in patch 2.3 as the consumable gained from the adamantite arrow maker. The shells were directly craftable BEFORE patch 2.3. and REPLACED with the shell machine in patch 2.3. As already explained.
Taken from the 2.1.0 patch notes: (Note: 2.1 comes before 2.3)
Adamantite_Shells now require less adamantite and do slightly more damage.
This is in reference to the shells themselves, not the shell machine as the machine was not in the game at the time BUT THE SHELLS WERE.
Hence, my original post that they need to add the SHELLS (Not shell machine) as they (The SHELLS) were in at launch.
Next time you respond to a post, please take a moment to actually read it.
