HQ Crafting Actions

[Rukkirii]

In the current version, it is a necessity to level multiple crafting classes to 45 to acquire beneficial abilities in order to HQ items. We understand that this can be a bit frustrating so the development team did their best with the current system limitations by making edits to crafting actions in patch 1.22 to help alleviate some stress players may be having.

In A Realm Reborn we will be adjusting crafting actions and making it so a portion of them are class-specific so when leveling a single class it will be possible to acquire the necessary abilities to make an HQ item. With these changes, the need to level multiple classes to 45 in order to HQ will be eliminated.

I do like that you are looking out for the little guy in this adjustment, but as you move forward with this, please consider this quote:

"If you make everyone special, then noone will be."

I suppose my point is, what motivation apart from adaptiveness would there be to max out multiple crafts?

I agree with satisfying legitimate concerns, but please be balanced in your design of casual capabilities and hardcore advantages.

Yea you may be right...but think, there are lot of players that still don't like lvling 1 craft job anyway...so I doubt there would be a significant increase of crafters with this proposed change.

thats a bummer. i got several jobs up to 50 now and in 2.0 it wont even matter anymore? all the effort for nutin ....

Being able to make and repair multiple types of items is reason enough to level a crafting class. If they do end up going with craft specializations down the road, it would be a good idea to make sure that each craft is able to stand on their own two legs to a degree.

All a matter of perspective.

The more self sufficient you are, the more potential profit you have in each item you sell, and the more room you have to price competitively.

Sure someone with one class may be able to make a final item HQ easier, but it still takes HQ ingredients to make it. Who benefits better, the person with one craft who has to buy other HQ mats, or the person with multiple crafts who can make them all?

If anyone can level a 1 craft and make as much money as someone with all crafts the markets will crash.

NO barrier = way too high of a supply + law of supply and demand = everything being near worthless.

But then you don't need as much money to buy things, so the less money you get from selling means you can buy things cheaper.

And there's the added effect of things being cheap enough that people don't see the value in leveling a craft and just sell mats.

It all balances out.

It all balances out.

If things become so cheap that the value of selling them at the wards is decreased, people will vendor them, removing the mats from the economy entirely.

A balance in the mechanics is needed to keep this sort of problem from snowballing; Inflation is bad, deflation is worse. In any economy.

I do think it's important not to devaluate people's hard work. Just trying to look at it from another angle is all.
