Major need for fixing provisioning and the dreaded R key

Mephisticles · April 2014

I don't know about you, but I spend 20-40 minutes sometimes pushing R over and over and over. The other skills have you make one off creations. But the provisioning crafting skill makes you craft the same recipe HUNDREDS of times. Which means hundreds of R key pushes. I just want a way to craft multiples at once. If you agree please sign this petition and I'll link it to devs when we get enough (if they don't comment themselves). Thanks!

I have no idea what your complaint is. It's crafting. Crafting is always repetitious.

Just so you're aware, if you craft recipes that are higher level, you only have to craft a few, for Provisioner, per level. For example, using level 20/25 recipes, you can easily reach level 50 Provisioner with vastly fewer combines than slugging through with level 5 and level 10 recipes.

Agreeing with the OP in that, once we're 50, and we have about several sets of ingredients letting us make 60 to 100+ of three to five recipes, it can get cumbersome to craft all at once.

But I guess, it did take a while to collect those sets of ingredients, so it's only right we spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen in the cooking fire by the cooking fire.

But it would be nice to be able to auto-craft the stack of 60, ingredients providing.

I think there are worse elements to the provisioning crafting line than this - though it is time-consuming both collecting and cooking, and we don't all do it just to grind. I hit lvl 50 some time ago, but still do lots of provisioning for guilds.

No, my main beef with provisioning is how much the hireling sucks, and can I have my skill-point back, please?

This game doesn't have an "easy mode" function, like "create number 'x' ". That's for easy mode players.

G600 mouse or some keyboard. Just macro the R.

Repetitive actions tend to get you flagged. For Provisioning especially, there should be a better way to handle the necessary multiple keypresses.

Or, you know, you could install an addon like "Feed An Army" and hit R once to craft them all.

a far cheaper option would be sth like http://www.autohotkey.com/ wich is for free...

You folks realize that your addressing an issue from almost 3 months ago, right?

This^^

It can be a slog to get provisioning up level up enough to craft level 20+ recipes, but once you do, it becomes easy to level up more. And level 30+ recipes are ridiculously easy to level up with.

That said I have had to go back to earlier maps before now to get the ingredients to get provisioning to the point were I can invest in being able to craft the level20-29 recipes. Really annoying when you find all the provision mats gone.

The little guy that goes and gets me things for my 3 points, has a lot of funny things to say. Unfortunately what he brings me isn't very funny.
Always 3 lots of grapes of one sort or another. All go straight into the rubbish bin.
I want my points back.
