Bad limitation on crafting

Arizona_Willie

It appears that I cannot craft an item higher than my own level.
I can't make armor higher than level 12 with a level 12 player.
THIS IS WRONG
A tailor can make a shirt bigger or smaller than he can wear.
A jeweler can make rings bigger and smaller than he can wear.

Why are our crafters prevented from making things for people at a higher level than the crafter is?

Boooo


Please fix this.

You should be able to craft higher than you. As long as you have the skill in that material. Unless this just changed? I have crafted higher than me.

Is this new? Because my woodworker has made stuff for higher level characters before now. I can't go in and check right now because my hard drive died and I'm just downloading the game on my husband's PC (which will take a while), but my woodworker is level 18 and with a point spent in the skill to use higher level materials could make items up to level 24 (ie the highest level for oak gear) last time I looked.

Edit: Maple/Rawhide/Jute/Iron gear requires no skill point spent and goes up to level 14, to make 16 to 24 gear from Oak/Hide/Linen/Steel requires a point spent on the first passive in the relevant crafting skill line.

I have also crafted higher than my level, but you cannot equip that item until you are of the appropriate level.

I would suggest the OP has not put the skill points in to use the next type of material.

I was crafting various items - all 3 crafts higher than my character today.

If it's not a skill point issue make sure you're increasing the amount of the material you're using. I ran into someone in game that didn't know this was how you increase the level of the gear.

My bad. I saw the number turn red so I thought it was telling me I couldn't do that.
But today I said, ' why not try and see what happens ' and it worked. My crafter is currently only level 12 and I made a level 14 armor item and put it in the bank and had my level 14 mage go get it and he could use it.

So I was wrong!! Imagine that

I < can > make things above my level for sale or other characters to use.

Threw me off when it went red so I thought it was saying I couldn't do that.

lol, I think this thread is funny. I'm glad you were able to figure it out OP.

Arizona_Willie

Me too, caelumpanache, me too.

Some people also don't notice the Have Items, and Have Knowledge boxes either.
