Apocrypha jewelry station why?
This_0ne
✭✭✭✭
We can buy master crafting stations. I think there is no longer any point in having different types of blacksmith, jewelry, tailoring and woodworking stations. Moreover, ZOS for some reason is not able to make full of themed stations. Maybe the infinite archive will be able to offer us a full themed someday, but it is unlikely that many people are interested in apocrypha-themed stations. I would prefer to have more different cooking, alchemy and enchantment stations.

✭✭✭✭✭I don't have any master stations in my house. My guild leader does, but my house is just purely aesthetic. I like the funky themed crafting stations. I agree that full sets in the same theme would be nice, but anything unusual and cool looking is good with me. Plus, the leads seem to drop from IA, which I do a lot. So I have 6 of the 10 leads so far without really trying. I just got them from content I was doing anyway, which is nice.4 -

This ^ I like having thematic crafting stations for different builds, so it's great to have variations like 'druidic', 'clockwork' and so on. It's not always just about utility, so I hope they keep making them!3 -
LunaFlora✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭i hope we get more different antiquity crafting stations, but we seem to only get 1 at a time so i am completely fine with it not being the same furnishing style every time.
Better than the clockwork crafting stations which we can only get with crowns as we dont need crowns for antiquity crafting stations.
just leads or gold if you got all codex entries.Edited by LunaFlora on 26 August 2024 08:57miaow! i'm Luna ( she/her ).

✭I like that they keep releasing new antiquity stations. And I like that they are all of various designs. The new Ayleid Blackmithing Station is a huge improvement over the Orsinium Anvil.
What I'm NOT liking though, is that they keep tieing antiquities that require numerous leads to IA. The pool of leads is already too numerous to reliably seek the leads you're looking for. And with update 43, they dumped even more into the mix.

Yes, I don’t have the crafting station from there yet. I think it’s clothing. So many leads from there I don’t have even one yet.
It’s not from lack of trying, either.

really? im chasing the last one for the shipbuilders wood crafting from the galen dailies boxes, and no luck so far.....trying also in the IA wld be handy....or do you just mean for the latest station? ive done that one.0 -
Tra_Lalan✭✭✭✭✭When you look at functionality, grand master crafting stations beat all other ones, however there still is some point in adding those other looking stations. Some people like to collect them or use furnishings that fit better in their house theme.
What I think would be nice is if they added a new Enchanting station. The one that is currently available (Daedric) looks kinda off compared to Alchemy and Provisioning ones (Telvanni, Druidic). And those 3 types of stations can do all master writs so, any new one would be welcome.0 -

That'd be nice, but on the other hand, since the themed stations are mostly used for the vibes, it's not really important to have all seven. You can always build a jewellery workshop instead of a master crafter workshop. In fact, it's actually easier to fit one station and decorate around it than seven.
Ever since porting outside the house and the decon assistant were introduced, non-master stations became superfluous.1 -
ShalidorsHeir✭✭✭✭I guess in future we might be able to use the stations as skins for mastercrafter and attunable stations so just chill and wait it out
on top of that you ight want to get simple stations matching the style of your house rather than completing master crafter stations for each house.
More styles for alchemy n echanting cooking would be nice thoEltrys Wolfszahn

oh yeah, about that. it's a shame that workshop stations aren't added to the account collection. it would be great to have them in every house without buying them every time, considering how much investment they require to fill with all the sets. since zenimax decided that this game doesn't need a full guild hall system, i'd like each of my houses to have full crafting functionality (okay, i'll agree to put munduses in only one house

- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

Not sure what you are saying, maybe that those new leads are obtained quickly? I don’t run the archive like you do, though.
The hubby and I ran two arcs yesterday, so 2 Tho’at chests and we got 3 side room chests. Five chests and only one lead out of that. It gave me 2/3 of the Visions of Mora. I bought one of those leads from the filer.
I don’t think I have ever got a lead from a Tho’at chest, to be honest.
I only have at most one lead of each thing in the archive, and that is only the single lead items.

i dont know if its true, but ive heard if you "hold leads" from the pool it might give you a better chance to get other leads from the pool
so any lead you dont need to dig up, just hold onto it till it expires
the leads are very all over the place, there are some runs i get leads quickly (drops even in the first arc) and other times i dont get any leads even going deeper (i did a run last night where we stopped in early arc 6 and did not get a single lead drop the entire run)
i usually find the best ratio to drops/speed is to clear arc 3, this gives you usually 5 (3 armor and 2 weapons) class set drops if you kill the 2 marauders, and a good amount of bonus portals and scampsplays PC/NA

I am trying to run the archive as many times as I can this week because next week these new leads will further dilute the pool of possible leads.
There is also no way the two of us are going to get through arc 3. We don’t have the builds or the endurance to do so.

yeah if you still need a lot of the leads thats not going to do much then
the ways i usually run is on a dps spec toon solo with a tank companion, or in a 2 person run with 1 or both players running dps specs (the arc 3 marauder gets a bit iffy though if theres no tank person)
doing this i can usually clear arc 3 in an hour or less (avg time is 50-60 min with a tank companion, or about 30-45 min in 2 person dps run)
the time always varies a little bit due to the available verses, visions, and how many bonus portals decide to appear
i do understand the endurance thing though, probably doesnt help doing more runs for sure, i cant really confirm if later arcs have better chance to drop leads and such
my luck with both leads and style pages have been all over the place, when the torc of the ayleid king came out, i did one run where i got 3 of the 5 leads for my first copy in a single arc 1 clear, then there are other times i get like no leads or style pages even clearing arc 4plays PC/NA

It’s not from lack of trying, either.
i dont know if it helps, but i just stopped digging up the leads after i did them 3 times, i am unsure if this influences receiving other leads though
PC has had U43 for a week and half and im already halfway to a 2nd jewelry station (and have dug up 3x copies of every other lead from the archive already)
Not sure what you are saying, maybe that those new leads are obtained quickly? I don’t run the archive like you do, though.
The hubby and I ran two arcs yesterday, so 2 Tho’at chests and we got 3 side room chests. Five chests and only one lead out of that. It gave me 2/3 of the Visions of Mora. I bought one of those leads from the filer.
I don’t think I have ever got a lead from a Tho’at chest, to be honest.
I only have at most one lead of each thing in the archive, and that is only the single lead items.
i dont know if its true, but ive heard if you "hold leads" from the pool it might give you a better chance to get other leads from the pool
so any lead you dont need to dig up, just hold onto it till it expires
the leads are very all over the place, there are some runs i get leads quickly (drops even in the first arc) and other times i dont get any leads even going deeper (i did a run last night where we stopped in early arc 6 and did not get a single lead drop the entire run)
i usually find the best ratio to drops/speed is to clear arc 3, this gives you usually 5 (3 armor and 2 weapons) class set drops if you kill the 2 marauders, and a good amount of bonus portals and scamps
I think you are missing the point. There aren’t any leads that I don’t need since I have gotten so few of them.
I am trying to run the archive as many times as I can this week because next week these new leads will further dilute the pool of possible leads.
There is also no way the two of us are going to get through arc 3. We don’t have the builds or the endurance to do so.
yeah if you still need a lot of the leads thats not going to do much then
the ways i usually run is on a dps spec toon solo with a tank companion, or in a 2 person run with 1 or both players running dps specs (the arc 3 marauder gets a bit iffy though if theres no tank person)
doing this i can usually clear arc 3 in an hour or less (avg time is 50-60 min with a tank companion, or about 30-45 min in 2 person dps run)
the time always varies a little bit due to the available verses, visions, and how many bonus portals decide to appear
i do understand the endurance thing though, probably doesnt help doing more runs for sure, i cant really confirm if later arcs have better chance to drop leads and such
my luck with both leads and style pages have been all over the place, when the torc of the ayleid king came out, i did one run where i got 3 of the 5 leads for my first copy in a single arc 1 clear, then there are other times i get like no leads or style pages even clearing arc 4
Another two arcs today, another single lead. The style pages are messing up my lead drops too, I got two of those instead.
I got the purple lead for the light diffuser, it’s really nice but unlike a plan I can’t have more of them unless I get another lead. Why did they have to put so many furnishings in here along with all of the other stuff? I still have the torc mythic to get too.
Sigh.

i dont know if the style pages and leads are part of the same drop pool
out of my 2 runs last night, one run had i think 1 lead, and the other gave me 3 style pages
both runs were arc 3 clearsplays PC/NA
