• PC/Mac: No maintenance – May 4

Do you have more than one crafter?

    Just the 1, if he knows whatever recipes and other things, then my 2nd main will get them. The other 6 are just mules for now. But only been playing since end of april.

    3

    - Blacksmith/Provisioner
    - Clothier/Alchemist
    - Woodworker/Enchanter

    All 4 of my mains have all crafting lines maxed but only the 3 above have finished their research and learned their respective motifs.

    If i had to do it again, i probably wouldn't split it again, in the beginning of the game this setup was much easier but once you hit endgame, it became somewhat awkward.

    Well if you have a spare 20-30m go for it, or if you just farm them yourself then your missing out on tons of profit

    That's the oddest combination of alts and crafting I have seen. What made you do it like that? people often go smithing, clothing, woodworking on one and the other three on the other.

    I have 3 characters who can clear all six writs in craglorn. One of them doesn't have maxed enchanting, though.

    I've got another character that I'm working up the research on, for equipment.

    Beyond that I've got a dedicated provisioner. I used to have a dedicated alchemist, but now I've got three of 'em.

    Working on my 6th crafter and teaching them all traits and motif styles I find along the way, but the main guy is all traits and about 30 motif styles. Why would someone do something this stupid?

    To combat the horrible drop rates of master writs.

    My lower crafters get better MW drops than my main with all 9 traits and every single motif in game besides the 2 crown ones but they don't count

    I had 4 mains (One dedicated to PvP) from the start of the game and wanted them all to be useful.
    Spread them out across all alliances, races and classes.
    It seemed like a good idea at the time to split research between 3 characters and have professions that sort of matched their role.

    - The big fat Nord Dragonknight is a Blacksmith and likes to cook
    - The lanky Breton Sorcerer is a Clothier and likes to plug pretty flowers
    - The tiny Wood Elf Templar is a Woodworker and dabbles with shiny enchantments

    Well, it was 3 years ago when the game first came out, I had no idea what I was doing, honestly. If I could go back and redo, Id have it all on one. I'm too lazy now to even bother with it, whats done is done. lol

    Exactly. I wanted just two: one for gear and one for consumables. But with some Housing things requiring multiple crafts to make I may consolidate it all on one.

    Right, my consumables crafter is what I consider my main and I leveled the armor/weapon lines with her a while back, only bc I was playing her so much I would just break down everything I picked up. However, Id never in a million years wish to learn all those traits and motifs my main crafter knows. On the flip side, it benefited in the end, when housing came about.

    Yep and its infuriating.
    I have one that does woodworking, clothing, alchemy and enchanting and one that does blacksmithing and Provisioning.

    As such I have to buy motifs twice and I can't craft a lot of furniture.

    I didn't really know how the crafting systems worked when I set it up like that. I just only learnt the crafts my first character would need to be self sufficient.

    To fix it would take too much time and I am too lazy to relevel it.

    Always use all the patterns / motifs on one character, cause your just wasting so much income if you use doubles on alts, from scratch and if you were to buy every single motif as of now with the prices you'd probably be looking at atleast 20m per character.

    You don't have to buy every motif multiple times.
    Many motifs come in pages which means you don't need to learn all pages on all crafters.

    My blacksmith has no need to learn how to make a pretty dress.

    I have one for furniture and equipment (she has all disciplines on max but doesn't know many food recipes and has just enough skill points on them so she can make any furniture), and she is the one who learns the motifs and blueprints and have the traits researched, my orc Durza gra-Maghul, of the Morkul clan (of course).

    Other than Durza, I have my Bosmer, Tegwen, who knows a bunch of recipes, she is the one who cooks for my other characters (yes yes I know, having a Bosmer as a chef is kinda risky, but you just gotta avoid the Super Meat Surprise).

    My Altmer, Aerindel, is my enchanter, though she also knows Alchemy, which my Dunmer, Liliel, also know for RP reasons and not for gameplay reasons.

    My other characters can't even make instant noodles.
    Edited by Abeille on August 1, 2017 3:32AM
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    My main can do everything, but doesn't currently have points in provisioning. My second crafter does provisioning, alchemy and enchanting. The rest (5) are alchemists, for the medicinal perk.

The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape.

    4 and all can craft any gear set and trait, Nirnorned included. Just one (my unofficial main -> magblade) knows all motifs/styles, but the later 3 are pretty close when it comes to motifs. At moment I can do all 6 crafting writs and almost all legendary writs on 4 chars (not that I do that for all on a daily base). My stamblade still lacks some skillpoints to cover crafting and misses more motifs, but she is closing up. My Warden still lacks almost everything, because pretty new char.

    I realized that I needed around 320+ skillpoints to be able to craft anything in any crafting Profession and if I want to play my chars as DD, tank or healer in addition and therefore need skillpoints in 1hand + shield, restoration staff and some other sections too. After doing all dungeon quests + Cadwells Silver and Gold and rank 12 in PvP you have enough skillpoints (I never sacrificed Valaste to uncle Sheo though). My skillpoints are distributed in a very selective way though (just the ones I really need and make sense imho).

    Formerly I had just my main for crafting, but then I learnt styles with others too, because several motifs became inflationary and a lot cheaper (Xivkyn, Dwemer, Mercenery etc.), so I let other chars learn them too, because selling at such low prices wouldn't have made much sense. After a while I even bought them cheap to complete collections.

    Meanwhile I am pretty glad to be able to craft stuff with almost all my chars without switching chars. The loading screens, when logging onto another char, aren't really short ones nowadays.

    11, because I'm a masochist and mostly just so I don't have to switch characters when I need to make something.
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".
