do crafting mentors know what they're talking about

[SeanCody]

half the time when i see a crafting mentor i just ignore what they say as they don't seem to know what they're talking about compared to the combat mentors or full crown mentors. the crafting mentor just seems like a way for people to join novice network by grinding ishgard for a day (which also gives you enough collectables while you level). feels kinda cheating to me compared to the insane grind you need for combat mentor.

maybe they should just make a global chat already so people don't need to pretend to be a crafting mentor. anyone else roll their eyes when they see a crafting mentor talk? I saw one yesterday saying that Hrothgars are cute and I almost vomited.

Hey man, you're only supposed to start troll threads. Don't go bringing up valid points now, it's not fair.

[SeanCody]

He does it every once in a while where its something valid, then it's back to the usual trash he spews. I wish he'd stay doing real discussion instead of, "cEn Wi GiT CaRdI b tO cOlLaB wItH SoKEn", since it's clear the moderation team doesn't want to intervene. He'd probably be liked, but teehee, better bump ancient threads and post spam nonstop instead.

Crafting mentors don't even know crafting half the time. They just copy a macro from The Balance or something and just run it.

Getting mentor status in this game is just a time investment. It doesn't actually require knowledge about anything... >.>

Most crafting mentors are just old crowns who don’t have enough commends to get the crown back after square made changes to it (upped number needed) so they all got demoted from crown to trade crown. They keep it on because any crown is better than none. Not because they’re amazing crafters and willing to offer advice and help. Most if you ask about crafting or gathering won’t know the first thing about the doh/l job

Also if this is a titan man troll thread I’m afraid on this instance you’ll probably find most agree with you. Big f my friend

For once, he's right.
But I'll extend this to battle-only mentors.

The ones with the big burger king crown who have both are the ones to listen to.

not even then.
I've got both but lord above if a new crafter asked me for input i'd say "idk. I don't even craft right, i max quality before progress. IDK how folks do it."

I'd say the "real" mentors are the ones who'll say "I don't know but I can ask around and see if anyone i know can help." You don't even need the crown for that.

Erm. I became a crafting mentor to get into NN yeah, but I did it because I wanted to help others. I don't know EVERYTHING about crafting no, but I've researched it, practiced it and I'd like to think I could help with questions at least.

Working on getting the commends for battle mentor. But I only started this game August 2nd, so that's a WIP.
