Thread: Patch 2.2 Crafting/Gathering Preview

The information presented is vague to the point of uselessness on everything except the housing crafting stations.

Edit: And on the new tools bit it doesn't say anything about them being superior to luminaries. And luminaries aren't functionally superior to the level 50 quest tools as they stand.

New Crafting Facilities Players will have access to crafting facilities in their estates. With eight types in total, these facilities can be used by crafters level 40 or below to increase their CP for a fixed period of time.......

What about the benefit for the crafters who are 50 already... lol just saying its easy as hell to get to 50..

An attempt to appease crafters, but it still fall short for players like me who wants crafting to have "real" value in end-game.

do we just throw our i55 tools, what a waist.

you can put the i55 tools in your armoire.

The master crafting books have me intrigued. From the sound of it you'll need to get your hands on the books from somewhere, perhaps treasure hunting or something, before using them to learn the recipe. Would be interesting to see there be a large number of books each with an individual or set of recipes inside, would definitely put a hold on every single level 50 crafter jumping on the new crafting and immediately flooding the market.

The crafting facilities though... while looking very interesting from a decorative standpoint they seem a bit big for the medium and especially the small houses. opefully from a functional standpoint any one of the eight can provide a bonus to any crafting class, though it seems unlikely.

if not, with the way furniture works, you could just stack all 8 of them in the same spot. If your concerned about the appearance, just hide it behind a partition.

complete facepalm that the facilities don't affect lv50 crafters, what a joke. The average crafter can utilize these facilities for maybe a day because its so easy to level crafts now

your definition of useless does not the same as everyone else. its an MMO: players have different personalities, and thus different opinions on certain aspects of the game.

Nothing in the preview says that the upgrade is for the level 50 quest tool and not the luminary. You might be able to only upgrade the luminary, or you could upgrade both and the luminary upgrade could be actually better than the regular. Complaining about what you think might happen because some other player implied it is dumb.
