    Default Now that Halloween event is on cool down...

    Please make paracelsus soul gems tradable? There really serves no purpose to keep them non-tradable. It really just becomes another item difficult to obtain and encourages scamming by forcing players to obtain them through means that are not in the secure trade interface.

    Please give it some serious thought! This could stop a large amount of "I got scammed threads."

    While you're at it, can you change the color of the gem when embedded in an item to a unique color? The similarity between an Elondrian super shard also leads to scammers attempting to trick a buyer.

    Well if you look closely you can see a white flashing skull on the paracelcus stone.

    I realize that. I highlighted what's the issue regarding the gem color. As players, we shouldn't have to look closely for every single detail. Gamers get tired and make mistakes as well!

    wow i just noticed that after you mentioned it. thanks
    got confused with grand elon gem and para gem too.

    what i see from not making it tradeable is that lowballer merch and opportunist seeker cant scam noob players with death hand title.
    it had its good point. since it is untradeable, those with little cash to afford expensive items to craft into will eventually waste it on their low value gear, making supply of para stone scarce. (At least they got to enjoy it right?)

    it's funny how many ppl try to scam my low level toon in a day. It gets tiring too. i buy your xxxx. for 10k, 50k, basically 1/10 of the value, even 1/100 of the value.

    Either way I wont be affected because my conscience wont allow it, but I think it works great the way it is now.
    At least those who get scammed is rich enough to go out and looking to buy para stone.

    but i' think differentiating the gem color would helps a lot from "being misled" in cs.
    mythic orange would be great!

    2 Para gems =9 dmg (no other stat increased)
    Twink over yeah right. If someone goes with full para gems they dont stand a chance because the more they stack the worse they get.

    And also this will add some nice gem changes instead of just using gems that boost your primary they may focus on health gems etc. If they add more gems this would defiantly be a possibility because of the new strategy involved into perfecting gear to your play style.

    No, the gem has its own reason for not being tradeable. Player who want to buy the gem should be ready with the risk they are about to take before they click the confirm button as when they're trading. As for the color, I agree with you.

    No hard feelings.

    In low lvl twinks 2 dmg is allot. There's already some people using 3-5 gems in their gear because it's very op.

    Making these gems tradeable is a very bad idea. It will make twinkling like endgame where you need to be rich to compete with others. This ruins the point of twinking causing more people to quit.

    It seems like a simple update but think about the effects it would have on the game as a whole Zeus.

    I was thinking about that too, and I agree with you at some point. Making this thing tradeable would cause a hammock inside the twinking world.

    Question is
    1. Why sts made something isnt tradeable? im prety sure they have their own reason for this, exclusive? gold sink?
    2. Why ppl ask for non tradeable item change to tradeable? the main reason is gold, chance to make huge profit

    I think it is not fair to ppl who already convinced that this gem can not be traded. They've spent all gems for crafting gear, so they lost a chance to make profit from gems.
    I 100% agree only when sts make the change before event end.

    and also I would be very happy if sts make all item tradeable !
    - LB season/event Banner
    - Pets that have been hatched so we can purchase pet lvl 41 (for rich ppl who are lazy to leveling up pet, they'll love this idea)
    - Gold vanity
    - Essence
    - Receipe
    - Forged event energy kit
    - ETC

    If u want to suggest some change, change everything not only 1-2 item. That sounds like u have personal mission with that.

    THIS!!!!
    And,
    I have upgraded 2 items with Para gems i would rage if it becomes tradable. I wouldn't support it being tradable even though i have more para gems in my stash!
    I always kind of agree to your opinions zeus but this one! No offence!

    If you get scammed bc you can't read, your an idiot. What else do you want sts to safeguard? How about we all have a protective bubble so nothing can ever hurt us....

    These threads from so called "best of the best" players, trying to alter the game for EVERYONE, is become bs. Sts is making changes based off these threads. Did they ask the rest of al if they should change the para stone effect? Nope. Just listened to a FEW of the player based. It's bs.

    What you said makes no sense.

    If you want paragems in the future you can buy a gemmed item.
