I have a bard/monk/druid. Had arm slot empty and found ringmail sleeves +1 (7AC)

before: AC 151/350/206 worn weight 22

after: AC 148/350/206 worn weight 27

Why did I lose AC when I equipped the arms? Worn weight is still in the green so I dont think thats the issue. Or is it?

edit: even if there is a worn weight limit contributing, I was understanding that the ac from the gear outweighs the loss. But here Im actually losing AC by wearing the ringmail.

I have my buffs overflowing the space to show them and would like to adjust it so I can see when heal over time ends. In display types I set the window to resizable and I can mouse over the right edge and see the resize arrows, but I cant seem to stretch the window wider. Am I doing it wrong?

edit: after writing this I realized it resizes smaller but default is actually the widest it will go.

I have leather recipes for armor that has a % chance to evade projectiles. Does magic count (fireballs etc) or is that just for arrows and thrown weapons?

I just got my fletching up to 90 and the new arrowheads use tungsten. I somehow have 193 in storage that I gathered a few years ago before I left and came back. Im going to need about twice that to skill up to 98 which is my goal so I can make the new reservoir arrows. I cant remember where I got those, but having so many there must be a good farm for it. Is there a particular survey that has a high yield of bonus tungsten?

My highest aimed shot for energy bow is 7 learned at L80, while my blitz shot is up to 11 at L100. Wiki isnt showing a source for the energy bow version of aimed shot 8 and up (but it does show those skills themselves), and Im not finding it at any trainer or after many egg runs. Am I missing something or is the game missing it? Or is it intended to be discontinued after the L80 version?

When I first got the recipe for incredible reservoir arrows I thought the bottleneck would be articulated cutting arms but it turns out the real problem is the quartz sand. I need 4 quartz sand per stack of arrows and I go through a full stack in just a few days. No one sells them, or at least in a week of looking Ive never seen any on the vendor stalls.

AFAIK the only places to get this is sand piles in Ilmari and Sun Vale. Its very hard to find the piles in Ilmari and quartz sand is the rare drop from them. Ive heard pots can have them but they are even sparser than piles and their quartz sand drop is just as rare. Sun Vale is easier to find the piles since its a linear search (on the beach) but again its the rare drop. From clearing the beaches I can expect to find 0-1, and then have to wait for respawns. There has to be a better way. I cant see spending several hours farming something that will only last me a few days.

Is there something Im missing? Is there any better place to farm these or a recipe to make them?

Is there any way to link an item in chat if you dont have a sample item? People keep trying to sell me quartz when Im asking for quartz sand.

I failed to extract a mod and it gave me this message:

Awesome Winter Hood of Un-Evadable Cold was a bit too complex for you. You didn't manage to extract any powers this time.

My ancillary-armor augmentation is 71 and the skill "extract helm augment (level 61-90)" was learned at 61. Is this a random fail thing or do I have a chance if I keep trying? Or do I really need higher skill to remove a L90 mod?

When I try to dye my cap its not showing the new color in the dye preview window? Could that be because its already glamoured? Or 2nd guess is its glamoured into bard cap. Would that cause it? Is it not dyable or is it just not showing preview?

Im guessing endgame stuff. What level do you need, where do you start, how many?

I got a cooking recipe that needs mint. I have 25 saved up from my adventures but dont have any idea where they came from. Someone said ranalon den but in 40 minutes I didnt get even one. Someone else said eltibule bears but so far its not looking good. Any fresh ideas?

Are the cargo deck key, engineering deck key, and hippogriff collars shared loot as in "dont be greedy" or do I loot as many as I see? I assumed its like any other loot and I only see what the RNG decided to give me, but in our last run I heard some stuff that made me wonder if thats not how keys are.
