Thread: Regarding Crafting Changes in 2.0

Bumping this thread to talk about the other possible crafting changes such as referenced by a Reinhart translation.

You cannot select materials to craft a recipe, you have to select the recipe name.
Can only perform recipe if your character learns it.
Recipes may be learned via leveling, leves, or quests.

Careful is still used because its success rate is reasonable with its rewards, so unless you're planning on greatly increasing the quality increases in Standard when used in conjunction with abilities, I really don't see how this would work.

prob gonna be standard and careful, both willy probably be renamed though.

You can't please people. I can't wait to see the flood of people saying they are "Dumbing" down the crafting system when people complained it was too complex to do anything other than spam regular.

You talk as if it is the same people making both arguments. There are those of us that enjoyed the complex crafting system and then there are the people with turnips for brains. We aren't the same nor do we have the same complaints.

Yoshi-P hinted at this long ago, but I don't think any of us put two and two together to realize this was what he was thinking. I don't know how I feel about the change just yet. I can see benefits and negatives to both the current way and the proposed way.

I do feel, if they make this change, that those of us who have been crafting all this time should be grandfathered in and be awarded every recipe we have ever made.

They have said that HQing items will be mainly based on the items you use now.

Using all +1 items will get you around 500 quality.
