harvesting skill line and crafting leveling?PLEASE T.T

zeluz.pro · June 2014

1st ill start by saying i LOVE to craft 2nd ill say i Hate buying crafting items from VR players cause i cant get the materials due to not being a VR player so without further comments here is my idea
I would like to suggest that we make it so i can level by crafting so that people who are merchants/crafters can harvest veteran rank areas and not have to buy vr9-12 materials from vr players i have a level 17 crafter he has almost fully maxed out he is 49 in woodworking and 31 in clothing and 32 in blacksmithing but i cant gather the materials to apply my trade i enjoy sitting and selling items in game to progress my skills so i can support my main fighter but i want to be able to harvest my own items and make stuff for people you could even put in a new skill line for miners and crafters like receive extra items from resource nodes and taking hits and still being able to harvest nodes at the same time and a tracker so you can see current nodes that are up nearby you on the map and skills along those lines because i truly do enjoy harvesting and buying and selling things i think this would be a huge new thing to the game and bring a whole new play styles to the field and cause more people to join and/or enjoy the game in a different way

No, please.

1) It would give lowbie bots instant access to vet areas.
2) Vet areas have vet mobs in them. Said mobs will kill lowbies just by looking at them then we'll have even more rage about the vet zones.
3) I want your gold; buy my vet mats.

depending on the price i might i buy for 1.5k cause im running out of gold raw materials only

Just join trading guilds and install guild search add-od. There are stack of any material for 600-1000 gold...

Absolutely not. The fact that crafting does not level your character is a good thing. Even if you disregard what Pele said about goldsellers (which you shouldn't), it's detrimental to players. How are you supposed to adapt to the combat and your skills/ build if you blitz from lvl 3 to VR1 by crafting? You have no time to actually get to know the mobs or develop a playstyle to counter them. People are already complaining that the difficulty jump between the 1-50 game and VR is too extreme. Don't make it worse.

If you're playing a low lvl alt crafter, just join a trade guild. Refined mats are very cheap regardless of level.

Disagree. Vet mats in Vet areas makes perfect sense. If you don't want to buy them from vet players - that's your problem.

Wouldn't every player like to have maxxed crafting skills using crafting mats they get themselves without every having to spend a single gold? Of course.

Would that lead to any sort of benefit/economy? No. Because then -everyone- would be doing it, and there wouldn't be any need for 'economy'.

Buy the mats. If you don't like the advertised prices, join 5 trading guilds and look for the mats there. Crafting in this game is -insanely- easy.

Keep in mind you'd have to do mainline and Cadwell's silver at a minimum to get access to the v6-10 area. Although Craglorn would open earlier potentially.

Interesting challenge:
How low level can you get your character to start Cadwell's Gold (and thus be able to teleport to all zones)?

I'm thinking it might be possible at v2. Do mainline quests as soon as level open (challenging...), you can get to CH at what, 43? Only do minimum in CH to advance and face Molag Bal. Then in the 2nd zone just do the Silver-line quests.
