If there is a limit to gathering ,is there a limit to crafting as well?Hello fellow adventurers!
To clear up your questions, we have checked with the Dev. team and found out the following.
As a countermeasure against RMT activities, the probability of gaining items through gathering will start to decrease after repeated attempts over a long period of time. After a certain number of attempts, items will no longer be obtainable through gathering.
To explain a little more on what goes on behind the scenes, there is an internal counter which measures how often a player has attempted gathering activities. Players will start with a maximum pool of 2,500, which will decrease by 10 each time a gathering attempt is successful and yields an item. Once this number decreases to 1,000, players will find it harder to obtain items. At 0, items can no longer be obtained through gathering.
Stopping gathering for some time will bump this number back up. The recovery rate is currently set at 100 per hour.
If you have ideas and feedback on this topic, please don't hesitate to let us know.
I craft alot and I have not seen anything to indicate a limit. I think its just governed by the surplus/fatigue system. Would be nice for a dev to chime in and let us know though.
I think you're right, it's just surplus sp/xp crafters have to worry about (other than running out of mats/ crystals). But like you said, dev confirmation would be great.
Sounds like an extra layer of fatigue...
As someone who probly crafts about as much as humanly possible
i can say with 110% certainty that the sp penalty is all crafters get

agreed i just did another 100 rounds of Iron Hooks to get my BS upto 22/23 I can confirm out of all the crafting ive done that all we get is standard surplus
100 rounds?
well lets just say i did closer to 1000 rounds of a single recipe earlier this week and only got myself a nice 40% SP penalty so lol yeah, its sp only

Yeah thats 100 on top of the 200 I did yesterday, but keep in mind my BS is not but 22/23 your Gold is 38 lol... HUGE difference between 20k TNL compared to the 60k TNL your Gold is
lol my gold is only 33
i was talking about my weaving, i went from 45-48 this week with it grinding, took alot of damn grinding to do that and im gonna repeat it once the penalty resets
its the same in the end, really, the level means nothing if you continuously grind

The grind is insane once you hit 41 or so. I just hit 46 leather and its taking SO LONG to get to 50 :X
