An addition to crafting

mark.cromerb14_ESO

I'd really love to see a crafting process that can raise or lower the level of an item. I've thought about it quite a bit, but not discussed it with anyone so I haven't gotten anyone else's point of view. Is this a terrible idea?

When crafting an item, you can add to the base material, and the level of the item goes up a bit (and it's stats).

For example you are crafting a homespun robe which costs 7 pieces of Jutte and gives you a armour value of 22 for a level 1 character. If you add another piece of jutte (8 pieces) it will give you an armour value of 24 for a level 3 character.

But you can't lower the level as far as I'm aware.

You realize he means raising the level of dropped items and previously crafted items with a process separate from the initial crafting, yes?

You an raise the value, or rather quality of a dropped item. Just Improve it at a crafting station. It's like gaining a level for each level of improvement you give it.

I wasn't sure, so I covered the crafting. I can see the appeal for raising dropped items, but after a certain point you need to start using crafted sets, for the bonuses, which makes drops a source of research material and little else.

Nobody needs to do anything, I've been using dropped set items that I improved on my main from VR 6-10, one set was improved with tempers, the other kept dropping in the next VR level up.
