methinks you are on to the truth of it...

In here's a happy-snap of the dev team circa 2013:
http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Development_Team

I think somewhere on the forum that had a more recent pic of the dev team. Compare the two if you can find the recent shot, and notice anything obviously different at a glance?

WAIT>>> WAIT!!!! holy !@#&%!@!!! I just looked at that wiki page, and look who's listed as a "content designer"!?!!?!?!? DAVID ZEB COOK!!!!!

holy !@#& ... does he still work as ZOS? respect!!!!

(i think I just spooged on my keyboard)

srsly, you good people do know who DAVID ZEB COOK is yes???? wow.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cook_(game_designer)

That guy is a !@#&*^!@ GIANT!!!! (blows dust off my old CONAN UNCHAINED modue) ... I'm sorry, I'm just amazed... can we get this confirmed?!?!?!

This is HUGE!!! it needs it's own thread!!! does anyone know what he wrote/developed for ESO, which parts I mean? It's as big a thing as finding out GYGAX worked on ESO... I'm gobsmacked.

Yes, some of us do know they do have some awesome talent there @ ZOS.. I for one grew up reading the DnD game manuals, paraphernalia that Gygax and Cook wrote when I played DnD as a Youth...

Holy crap! He did Planescape!!!

He was on the ESO Live stream, he was the Lead designer for Morrowind!!!

I want it - but the thing is it threatens a Gold and AP sink.

HOWEVER - there is a good solution - a whole new set of materials for Jewlery - Precious Metals/Gemstones - which would help revitalize the market (Even if only temporary). There are downsides to that too... like more items to carry for non-subbers.

Alot to consider.

One of the big selling points for this game was the revolutionary crafting system, where you could make and improve items that would keep your character viable even in top tier content. Since One Tamriel (and even before really with the addition of proc sets), this has been completely cast by the wayside.

Not only is crafting outshined in strength, coolness of visual effects, and diversity of build options since they have jewelry and crafted sets don't, but the whole aspect of what made crafting more like the Elder Scrolls was just gutted from the game.

There is one simple and obvious change the community has been desperately pleading for going on 3 years now that could return crafting to it's former glory:

Allow us to craft jewelry set items and improve jewelry through crafting.

This was something we were told was in the works "soon" back in 2014.

Can you guys please tell us this is something you have not simply forgotten?

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_KaiSchober

yes!!

Just bumping this thread to the top of the list.

xenowarrior92eb17_ESO · September 2017

you want jewelcrafting? when they announced item retraiting hence killing the entire crafting market? and perhaps even the item farming.... let aside that...I asked to implement skinning...to get scraps from skinning animals not loot...yet that never happened and is faaaaaaar easy to implement rather than creating an entire new craft system...oh...spellcrafting no longer a thing btw?

ghwaite · September 2017

Something that should of been included from day 1 imo.

Sergun · September 2017

one of next chapters in 1-3 years ... maybe

mehmetdemir · September 2017

Well i have been thinking on this. If Jewelcrafting happens drop sets may die with dungeons i'm afraid. Now every build uses at least one drop set, which is good balance. We shouldn't loose the "farm" component of the game, just getting rid of RNG via re-traiting is enough.

oh just imagine! 5/5 shackle+way of arena! or torugs+juli! or hunding+nmg!

Master crafters should be able to craft Unique level of gear sets and also jewellery.

Sergun · September 2017

no mastercrafters yet (i mean title )

Marto · September 2017

No. There's multiple reason why jewelry isn't craftable, and will never be craftable.

One of those reasons is that it disencourages playing the content. Yes, BoP sucks, but it encourages us to grind for our own gear.

Ladislao · September 2017

I don't understand, why do you need this?

I don't see any advantages except the opportunity to refuse to farm good-quality jewelry from vet trials. But this is important only for casual players who do not need such jewelry in principle.

On the other hand, jewerly crafting will lead to loss of the uniqueness of the crafting sets that do not have jewerly. In addition, this is an another crafting station and, possibly, skills, which are already quite a lot. I mean, this will lead to an excessive accumulation of systems, besides transmutation and transmogrification systems.

The next time you want to wear Tava's Favor with Hist Bark, think about whether you really need it. Or it's just a fleeting desire.

Sergun · September 2017

not capped yet for crafting jewelry

hydrocynus · September 2017

Awwww Honey....

I hope you get it cos it seems to be making you sad, but I think you probably won't get it.

Richard_Ralh · October 2017

I agree that Jewelry Crafting should be instituted, but it would need to be unique needing to have both blacksmithing, to form the metal into rings and necklaces or chains, and enchanting, to give the jewelry their specific magical abilities.

Shadzilla · October 2017

For those of you who are stating crafting sets are struggling, you are incorrect. Crafted sets have been a major part of a very large amount of BIS builds for all roles in this game for years. Crafting sets should be a lower tier in terms of stats compared to gear dropped in end game content, in my opinion. Would be nice to see a pvp vendor that sells gear that is noticeably better than crafted sets as well, for an expensive price obviously.

Cpt_Teemo · October 2017

When Teemo becomes Molag Teemo

SirMewser · October 2017

No, first ZoS will increase the gear cap to 180/200CP and half the player base will quit, then they may realize they need to add it.

KRBC · October 2017

They'll put it with another "expansion" to help get another 30 dollars out of you

teladoy · October 2017

We really need this, I can not understand what's the deal with implement this. They should feel ashamed that after all these years crafters can not craft jewelry. Is impossible to use 2 crafted sets at the same time.

RPGplayer13579 · October 2017

How about... NOW!

Mitrenga · October 2017

My bet would be 2019 Chapter.

I also would like to see taming. Taming animals in the wild. Some can be non-combat pet and some would be mounts.
Imagine the fun it would bring.

NotNormanBates · October 2017

just stop. 10 threads every 2 weeks inst enough? Crafting jewelry would cause alot more problems then it would solve. The entire premise of progression in thins game is based around jewelry, since everything else can be gotten through normal difficulty. The point being is that 99% of the game can be done in blue non set armor and willpower jewelry, so why take away the only thing that rewards players to do difficult content? by introducing jewelry crafting to the game, there'd be less people doing dungeons, trials ect. It's already hard to find a group to do things, why make it so it's even harder. MMO's need a way to keep players playing the same content. This is seen as a 'grind', but in reality grinding is one of the few things that keep people playing more then a few times a week for an hour or so. I get its in human nature to want everything as easily as possible, but for 1 second just stop and think about the potential damage this would cause to the game. especially considering its the same people who implemented so many other things poorly.

Long story short; this is the type of thing that should of been implemented day 1. Now to implement it properly there would need to be an entire upheaval of progression in the game. Most likely leading to the same people who wanted jewelry crafting to want the new thing that's used for character strength progression to be easily obtainable.

Why wouldn't you want jewelry crafting?

We want it but Zenny dont!
Otherwise you can craft ALL your gear and not grind any more

The heart of this game from Zenny's perspective is to get players to grind.

MMO business model "Players who stop grinding will leave"

Exactly, if crafted sets becomes the BIS then people will stop running content, a lot of dungeons will become obsolete, i don't think it will be implemented any time soon or at all.

Qbiken · October 2017

You guys realise how much more difficult it will be to balance the game if jewel crafting is added right?? It will be a nightmare for the devs with the game in it current state. Sure the amount of grind will be reduced for sure but the amount of "broken/OP" combos in PvP won´t be funny........
