You know that male voice you get when you're creating Glyphs? I demand a female voice for my character! I mean, who is saying these words when you are creating a glyph? Our characters? Or something bound to the runestones?

Every time I hear that voice when creating glyphs, I picture it coming from that creepy Zoltar fortune telling machine in the Tom Hanks movie "Big".

Portable crafting stations would be useful. My only question is--are these things that we can find in the game world too, or are they Crown Store only?

The wording on the crafting stations is just... weird. Whichever occurs last? Why put a time limit on it at all? Why not just automatically load the personal station crafting window that apparently only you can use? Single personal use. No time limit except inactivity logout.

I know it's not active yet, but is anyone really going to summon a station and just stare at it for 30 seconds until it disappears?

Use your noggin. They don't make things like that crown only.

This doesn't make a lot of sense, and I'm trying to figure out what you're saying.

Yup. Here's how:

1.) I summon my crafting station.
2.) The doorbell rings. "Ooo! Pizza's here!" I leave my computer to pay for my food.
3.) My character stares into space for 30+ seconds until the crafting station fades away.

Admittedly I don't see why they couldn't just take you to the crafting screen instead. Immersion concerns? Maybe this is easier to implement?

It's still not worded right for this, but perhaps the intent is to allow people to summon the station and let friends use it?
Or could be sufficiently rare to cater to egomaniacs.

Personally I hope this comes only as a reward for completing a sufficiently high number of writs in the relevant craft, and is retroactively awarded.*

* FYI I've completed a total of two crafting writs, so it's not for personal gain (yet, anyway. ; )

Those crafting stations for me are too generic, portable everything seems ridiculous! Especially the campfire, lol. The others I can imagine you having as some sort of portable mini-set sure, but the campfire....it's just a fire. I thought of a better alternative to making a campfire anywhere instead of that portable nonsense.

Portable Campfire (Just call it "Kindling", I'll explain below)

Instead of pulling out a campfire from your inventory I feel it'd be more appropriate to have all wood that you refine at a woodworking station have "Kindling" as a by-product. Just like we occasionally get Pitch, Turpen etc. when refining those wood raw materials.

Next Step, since creating a spark or other forms of heat shouldn't be hard when we can all use magic to some degree. When you have "Kindling" in your inventory(stacks to 200, of course) just click it to use it and boom, done!

Congratulations you made a campfire, Bear Grylls would be proud!

Bet its a reward for reaching level 50 in crafting only two i care about is food and potions as long as i can use in pvp too

Huh, portable crafting stations? I guess if you have the space for it, all the mats already in your bank or inventory instead of spread around your characters, and a person who needs That Really Important Thing Right The Heck Now, might be interesting. I think my own crafting habits would make it a bad choice for myself, though. Only thing I'm worried about is if this plus housing = WoW-style garrison or whatever the thing is that everyone hates.

I've got nothing but the usual complaints for the motifs. When the Crown Store Motifs also let you convert your own gear to that style (even, and especially, set items), come find me. I have piles of cash waiting.

I'll admit, that would be a cool feature, and might actually convince me to cough up the 5k for dwemer (in spite of having naturally collected it) if only it was a thing...

Yes, some of us have been asking (pleading?) for that to be added to game for a good while now. After all we can do so for the Imperial Style, so the mechanics are already in game. Maybe one day...

Portable dye station? Sign me up, coach!

OMG YES YES YES YES Akaviri equipment is what I want, because it looks more like Samurai equipment in a Elder Scrolls fantasy way. I posted about this in some thread a while back and wished for it, but didn't think it would come true. THIS IS SO COOL! At least it did look more like fantasy Samurai equipment in Skyrim & Oblivion.

When I saw " Mercenary " in the title I thought " Oh no! I hope they arent adding NPC mercenaries for players to hire!! " .. Thankfully it was a crafting style.

Gilvoth

the way thier talking about this portable crafting stations just made me realize this is how thier going to do our housing ...
thier going to make it so we summon a door to our houses. i bet.
not realy a bad idea i suppose ...
i just hope others can follow us into our homes. (friends family ect ect.)
door to our home stays open for about 30 seconds after we port in ...

So tired of the chapters bs

Truthfully, in light of recent revelations on the PTS in relation to crafting, I'm more worried about the materials requirements.

Well this is what you get with a game that relies on in-game purchases to survive. Anything of any value will get chopped up into as many monetized pieces as possible so it can then be sold piecemeal in the stupid shop instead of just a book that you find in-game (like when the game launched).

I wouldn't even have much of a problem with the system of chapters if it was not monetized because at least then it would contribute to the in-game economy in a positive way by making the motif knowledge rare and giving people who focus on crafting something to work towards and offer for sale but having the "buy it now" option of the shop subverts the in-game economy so as is typical with cash shops..it sucks.

I got every page from guild stores i got every motif but dwemar from store as something to work towards

I farmed or traded people for all the dwemer chapters as well. What's your point?

You said it defeats the point of finding them cleary not as we both didnt buy them. if you dont like the fact you can buy the books then i see you really qq when vampire and wolf bites come out for hallows

That's not what I said. Try reading harder next time. I said it subverts the in-game economy. Instead of the rarity of motifs benefiting those crafters who take the time to find them anyone with a wallet can just buy them so the rarity is only meaningful if you are not willing to fork over money. Crafter A who works to find them without purchasing them is at a distinct disadvantage from crafter B who just buys them as soon as they are on the store. That's subverting the in-game economy.

I personally don't mind the motifs being available in the Crown Store. To me it's a fairly perfect example of an item that could be placed there, that has little impact to others in-game. Of course, no item has truly no impact on others in-game, as was highlighted by it's availability there increasing supply of the motifs, and hence reducing the in-game gold worth of the pages found more traditionally. But they have to make money or none of us will have a game to play.

I'm just worried that the 'grind', for lack of a better term, for the components to craft these new styles, such as the ferrous sand and scales, will be highly significant. However in saying that, if so, that will be where the economy truly lies in relation to the motifs and players making gold, so I suppose there's always an upside.

If it pays for the next dlc im fine with it people forget after everyone buys the game theres devs familys to feed

Enough with the "poor devs need money" routine. I have seen enough of that on here since B2P to make me vomit. This whole construct is of their choosing not some down and out devs who need money. We were willing to pay a sub but that's not good enough so they need to gouge players with micro-transactions.

So, I'm trying to figure out the whole GoldScales binding thing.

You can find Ancient Scales. These are NOT bound to your account (similar to Dwemer Scrap).
You then make a GoldScale (Similar to a Dwemer Frame) however, these Scales are BOUND to your account.
This means you can not sell the scales, but you can sell the Scrap.

Wonder what the reasoning behind that is....

Portable stations - esp portable dye stations look good

Perhaps they're going to be available in the Crown store in bundles as a convenience and the image we see pictured is the Crown store version.

Edit: Nevermind, I read the Ancient scales text. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People where not willing to pay a sub just because you where does not mean if people where willing to pay it the would not of removed it your logic is flawed

I'm pretty sure you have it backwards. The pages are going to be rare piecemeal drops in the world. The BOOK will be available in the Crown Store. So you can spend forever trying to collect all the pages in the game--or for the low, low price of just 1500 crowns, you can buy the whole book all at once.

I'm pretty sure the addition of new rare fish won't remove your master angler title... In fact, I could be wrong, but I don't think the master angler title currently even requires the rare fish from Craglorn.
