    Timetable for yellow scrip rightside/jewelry?

    I've finally gotten all of my crafters up to 70, and am looking into gearing. I've got a nice set of crafted stuff for the left side, but I was wondering if there's been any word of when/if we'll be getting level 70 rings/bracelet/necklace/earrings purchasable with yellow scrip like we had in HW. It seems an annoying omission.

    The vendor has multiple categories. The items you want are already on there such as this.

    ... <.<; ... >.>; Ah.

    ...So, even after being with the game since 2.0, I apparently still struggle with basic UI usage. Thanks for the answer!

    I don't know why you'd want to go through the annoying process of getting full yellow scrip gear, as the effort vs the reward is just non-existent particularly for the yellow scrip accessories, those are outdone by barely melded Zelkova accessories.

    Unless I'm mistaking this question for you actually aiming for them as opposed to just a curiosity thing?

    Seeing how you're new into the omnicrafter business, I think I need to let you know that CP > control/craftsmanship. Thus, for accessories, it is a no-brainer that the HQ crafted ones are vastly overpowering any kind of scrip ones (and this has been a universal truth since ARR). I would strongly discourage the use of any Handking's accessories from yellow scrips. One Handking's Ring has only 26 CP, where as my HQ Black Willow Ring of Crafting has 25+8 CP = 33 CP. That's 7 CP difference. Add that up for every piece of accessories, and that's a crap load of CP difference.

    As for your left gear, some yellow scrip gear do come with a lot of CP, and so comparing to crafted gear, the CP difference is not so big. For these gear, yellow scrip gear is a viable option. However, yellow scrip gear is class specific. It would be a pain to handle 1 piece of gear per class... So using the shared, crafted gear is a much more convenient option.

    As for your tools, crafted tools can add 5 CP each. So using yellow scrips mainhand + offhand would mean 10 CP deficit. However, usually yellow scrips mainhand will have a lot more control and craftsmanship than the crafted one. So some people may choose to sacrifice 5 CP for the yellow scrips mainhand.

    Personally, I feel that yellow scrips accessories are designed for people who really, really casually do endgame crafting. Because they don't need (in truth is, they cannot) be overmelded. But honestly, even if you just randomly slab a piece of Cunning V on a crafted one, it'll still be a stronger accessory than the yellow scrip one. Maybe the yellow scrips accessories are designed for people who cannot craft their own HQ ring, but also cannot afford to buy an HQ ring? Anyway, given a choice, just don't go for the yellow scrip ones.
