Crafting Idea

[Jackastheripper]

I am by no means a crafter in the least bit but I see a lot of complaints about there not being enough crystals on the AH. I don't know how hard it would be to implement something like this but what about adding a craft for cutting crystals? Same thing as with other crafts, start with low lvl stuff like flint and craft them into earth crystals and so on and so forth. Let them, as they level up, start crafting crystal clusters and eventually start crafting the special crystals to be able to sign stuff. I don't even have a name for the craft. I thought Gemcrafting but that sounds a lot like goldsmithing. The real life craft of cutting gems and crystals is called Lapidary so you could probably use that. Could bring some life back into the crafting world also because it makes more "everyday" or "crap" items like flintstones and maybe the new elemental geodes more useful. Meh, just a thought. What do you all think? For me it would just be another craft I wouldn't level up. :p

anyone who complains about a lack of crystals is simply stupid, lazy and totally lacking in anything like discipline. Even new players, if they've been on the game a week have a lvl 90 job. They can solo/low-man all the way to sky access in less than a week after that. 1 hour in sky on the elemental islands will have your inventory full, without TH. Assuming you have 16 slots filled with gear that will give you between 144 and 768 synths.

And if getting to sky seems like too much work? take a level 1 mule out and level it up, that'll get you anything except light, dark and ice crystals in plenty.
