Crafting is broken on PTS 1.6.2

Wolfenbelle · February 2015

Tonight I wanted to test a crafted set of Torug's Pact vr14 medium armor and weapons on my Templar, so went to the crafting station to make it. I have the mats, and made sure to put the skill points in the crafting professions.

In blacksmithing, clothing and woodworking, when I scrolled to the vr14 mat, then clicked + to increase the rank/level to vr14, nothing happened. The rank stayed at vr9. I tested a few lower level items and the same thing happened. None of the item levels would increase no matter if I was trying level 40 to 42 for example, or the veteran rank items.

In addition, the sound feedback that you normally get when scrolling through items, mats, styles and trait stones is missing.

I did file two bug reports (one for sound and one for the broken leveling), but wanted to share this with people here on the PTS forum too. Maybe others can try to craft something and see if they have the same experience.

OVERVIEW

The Elder Scrolls Online v1.6.2 is an incremental patch that continues to address additional issues and feedback on the PTS. We’ve made a number of tweaks to abilities, Champion passives, the Justice System, and more which you can read about below.

KNOWN ISSUES
General
Inferno and its morphs are currently displaying double the Spell Crit on the Character screen.

Leveling up with Expert Hunter slotted reduces the Crit Bonus displayed on the Character screen.

If you increase the number of materials while crafting, you will run into issues crafting the following items:
Restoration Staves

Shields

Heavy Armor

Medium Armor

It is not just those four things listed. I tried to craft a greatsword (blacksmithing), a bow (woodworking), and medium armor (clothing). There is a problem with all three professions, at least. Also the sound effects for crafting are not working at all.

Not to worry, when update 6 goes live at the end of the month, you'll be able to blow your real mats trying out the sets. :P

The bug has to do with only the special crafting stations out there. It applies to every type of crafting that can be done for every material level. You cannot increase the level for anything from level 2 - V14. It's a huge problem. I submitted a bug on it two days ago so hopefully they can get it resolved before pushing this nerfdate(imo) into the Live system.

Ran into the issue myself, I can't wait until they go live with this problem!

Super job on the crafting bug ZOS... wasted a whole week of testing for NA because no one can make gear they want to test out. I was going to try and test a new build for my DK but can't with this bug.
