Thread: So, what's all coming in 5.11 again?

It seems like it's going to be geared toward 70's and when you combine that with all the recent changes, it means you only need 1 crafting vocation to 70 to effectively participate. Participation was the goal, they said that. They would rather see 50 crafters in level 70 yellow scrip gear than 10 crafters in penta meld 80.


tl:dr if you want to participate in this, level culi to 70. It doesn't use cross class parts and as things sit, you can gear it from the NPC vendors found in the cities to 50, use GC gear at 50 and move to yellow scrip after that. Ignore all the old rules. If you need to turn in NQ leve quests, do it. They give as much now as previous HQ. If you luck out on some HQ all the better but if you are leve point capped you have enough to level one class to 70 even NQ. You can do it before down time as of me writing this.

My highest level crafter is level 24, and my highest level gatherer is 2. There is no way I could be bothered to level any of it, unless there was a crafting bag like in ESO, or a huge streamline, and even then I doubt I'd level it. Even if they did add crafting level boosts I probably still wouldn't level them to 80, or if I did it would probably be next expansion by the time, and the only reason I would do it would be for beast tribe cosmetics or something.

I am levelling my crafters, but I have to comment here because I think you have a point about there needing to be a 'crafting bag' like in ESO... or even do what WoW does and have a specific 'reagent bank' that you don't have to take the mats out of to craft from. This would just be a huge quality of life improvement. I don't think any of the crafting systems need to be changed... but this would be amazing. I can't stand keeping all my mats in my bag (might be to do with my OCD) and I can't craft directly from any mats stored by my retainers either.

Inventory management and crafting is an actual nightmare, especially with the amount of crafting classes. It's too much, and there isn't enough space. Mats look very similar, It's too much, even with retainer. Game becomes inventory management simulator, like on top of being boring it's annoying. With ESO's crafting bag all your mats are dumped into it, and all you have to worry about is actually having the mats in your bag. In turn I actually have crafting leveled up in that game - not that I play it much.
