Speed of crafting sets

bryanhaas

Would any of you like the set crafting consolidated?

Thanks everyone for your input to my biased poll.

Biased poll is biased.

Having the crafting station spread all over the world is a bit inconvenient, sure... but it's one of those things that adds depth and immersion to the world. Sure, they could add all crafting operations straight into the character selection screen, just like the style parlor, and then you would not even have to log in to craft a new set!

I want crafted sets to be learned once a station is discovered so sets can be all crafted at any station.

I have to say it is a moderate pita going to clever alch and then to torugs or kvatch gladiator. It would be nice once the station is found or perhaps even a short quest to learn the set that it could be accessed from anywhere or at least being able to teleport directly to a station.

Maybe I'm just lazy or impatient.

Or maybe both.

I don't know that seems too easy. I get your point and in some ways I feel the same. It does add depth but continually doing does get a little old. Kinda like fast travel in Skyrim, I would start my play through and say okay no fast travel. Then after a little okay only with carriages, okay only for this eventually I am fast traveling everywhere

Probably, but how do you want to see it re-written so it does not sound biased? I am sure I can come up with something but I am already biased so...

I think ot should be left as is, each crafting station has its own environment and often my own personal history and experiences in that area when crafting the older sets back in the day. Its nice to revisit once in awhile, sure they are all over but by no means do i want them all in one area.

However if you wanted to create an option for a universal crafting station, I would suggest making it in a location thats extremely tedious to access for those who want to craft multiple sets at a time, but not too impossible where it will never get utilized. I like the quest idea someone had above, completing the quest could unlock this universal area.
Maybe to make the unique crafting sites more attractive than the universal station would be to insert more material nodes in the areas surrounding crafting stations, almost like scraps left behind by other crafters. There would need to be a happy medium or no change at all in my opinion.

• The current system is fine I enjoy the immersive elements of having to travel the world to make the best gear.
• It takes too long to craft a diverse set and detracts from the parts of the game I actually want to play.

Specifically, the phrase "traipsing all over Tamriel" implies that the act of traveling to craft is not desirable even though that is the question the poll is asking.

Maybe once you discover it you can craft that armor from you house when housing hits that is.

Its bad enough now because it is so easy to make gear of the wrong level, to add in yet another option on the crafting screen to choose a set would just muddle things up.

Besides, Set Crafting is a Privilege to be earned, not a Right. Crafted Sets have two requirements, learn the Traits, and find the Station. Once you learn the Traits, getting to the station is the only challenge left.

I had read the poll to discuss having already gained the traits and having discovered the crafting station. I must admit that if it's discussing being able to make the set without first having gotten there on one's own my opinion would be different.

I like @JelliedBigfoot 's idea. It would be great if there was a Set Crafting station that you could go to for only crafting sets. I'd be okay with a quest of some sort to unlock it, and it should not be in a common or popular area so there is some travel required to get to it. But once there, you could craft any sets you have unlocked the traits and locations for.

I like the idea of being able to craft any set once found and you have crafted at least one item there . And now for the but, except IC because you have to work to get to those areas while looking over your shoulder for incoming pvp attacks

Unless you are crafting for gold or a full time for a guild, you don't spend that much time at the crafting stations anyway. Why not travel to different places to craft your sets, nothing like a change of scenery every now and then.

As long as the stations are not in a place that cannot be traveled to solo I really can't see any flaws in the current process.

I make my own sets only occasionally, and if I'm making a set for profit the time and difficulty to take to get to the station is taken into account in the price.

With wayshrines, it really takes less than a minute to get to almost any crafting station.

The only problematic ones are the IC stations where you can get caught by opposing players at the entrance. The rest are easy to access and put you in no danger. The whole idea is that the specific place empowers the set. Putting them all in the same menu will be lore breaking.

I'm hoping people will be able to invest in crafting stations in their character homes that allow them to make sets they are interested in.

I like the current system. Why is so bad to go out and see the wonder world of ESO? Besides, each crafting station have lore and story to tell. It helps to explain why the sets way they are.

i would prefer a hybrid of both ideas in that the set crafting for each zone is available at all of the crafting locations in that zone. For example all the Rivenspire sets could be crafted at Stornhelm. That way you still have to travel but it makes it easier to craft, as there are only three options per zone.

I like this one even more.

Just leave as is until Housing, then make it a bonus for finding the stations that you get a Master's Forge in your house as an achievement for finding them all.

If ZOS starts adding even small convenience items to our houses we'll all probably become shut-ins with very pale skin anyway!

There are bigger fish to fry.

True but we all know those fish are not going to be fried. Sushi anyone?

The only thing I would like to see changed is the ability to craft normal armour removed from all of the set crafting locations. The number of times I have crafted normal items by mistake is ridiculous.

Vaoh

I think it'd be cool to have it consolidated with Player Housing though.

I don't want to leave my home when I move in!

While it would be nice to not have to travel to timbuktu for a special set, that's the whole point Zenimax created those locations. They don't want you to be able to simply create every craftable set at the same lcoation. It won't change ever unfortunately.

More than likely you are correct, however if you do not ask you will not receive. This is probably akin to guild traders vs auction house which that isn't going to change either.

At least the poll shows me the general consensus is leave it be as is, so no is going to change it nor should they.

The minority should not dictate the majority.
