Items requiring components

[Zuesrooster]

in the spells.cpp changed line 863 from

if(!bard_song_mode && IsClient()) {

to

if(!bard_song_mode && IsClient() && slot != USE_ITEM_SPELL_SLOT) {

I belive no spells from items ever use components.

I think the necro epic uses tiny coffins to do its summon? i might be wrong on this.

There are some 1h blunt (Allin's Mace) and swords (Iris Blade) that have the Rune Effect that require bloodstones and jaspers, to name a few.

Thristram: The necro spell Summon Corpse needs tiny coffins and jade coffins to summon a corpse depending on the summoned corpse level. The epic effects are all passive and clicky DoTs.

Hrmm, that makes it a little trickier. I did some more research and you are correct there are a total of about 37 items that cast spells that should use regents. Some don't use the regents like Shell Trimmed Bracer. While other items like the two you mentioned as well as others like Diamond Rod do use components. I really couldn't find anything that would determine if it uses components or not. I also noticed that everything in eqemu says it uses components even stuff I remember doesn't like the lev rings. Anyone have any idea?

I think to simplify all of the items out there with having spell effects, they just made it so it requires components. Procs like Anger or Time Snap are much easier to implement, though.

You're right about the ring.
Here it is on Lucy and here it is on 13th Floor.

Now I'm confused as well, hehe. I think it's better to just have the items require components for now, unless there's a way to work your way around it. But that would require resubmitting all of the items on 13th floor again. But then again, there are some spells that do levitate without components like Levitation (Shaman). Maybe we can just have it work that way? Uber weapons should require components. I found some people exploiting this and it gets on my nerves. They should be able to afford the components anyway at that level.

But what would happen if one were to proc with a weapon that needs components and you don't have any? Would the rest of their spells "grey out" like they do when you cast a spell without the required component? Can it be a passive "you do not have the required components" message? On retail, you would get that message with the component in parenthesis. "You do not have the required components for this spell (Bloodstone)." Did they change that?

This is getting pretty interesting.

I did a bit more comparing of items I know that don
