The Current State of Specialist Actions

[Silverbane]

If all new master books require specialist actions from here forward...

TBH I would be cool with that. Means fewer people will be interested in the work it takes to become a true omnicrafter, and we will actually have something to trade one another.

My wife and I will only have to trade with each other. Not only are our main characters omni-crafters (with complementary specializations) but we have each leveled an alt omni-crafter (not yet at 60, just at 57-58 right now) to cover the specialties that our main characters do not.

Leveling the alts (mainly using our mains to craft HQ GC turn-ins for our alts) has been interesting. We have about 1000 cordials and a similar number of Ventures now from all the GC seals we have gotten in the process. To bad the Ventures aren't tradeable: our mains have lots of L60 retainers (6 hunting, 4 mining, 4 botany, 2 fishing between us) that we could use our alt's Ventures to send out. Our alt's retianers are only about L46 right now.

BTW, 565 Gathering seems to be the breakpoint for getting max yield (e.g. 20 Birch Logs) from mining and botany retainer ventures. We determined that last night. 563 doesn't cut it.
