Jewelry crafting research scrolls

eso_lags

Idk if anyone has brought this up or knows about it so here it goes. I was replying to a post earlier and i thought of this.. Is zos releasing jewelry crafting research scrolls with summerset? I feel like someone had to have wondered this. Because if they aren't going to wait at least a few months to release the scrolls then i think this might be to over the top. It will allow players who want to spend money to instantly finish their research on day one, as long as they can find the jewelry to research, and create the economy of crafting jewelry.. Meanwhile people who cant pay, but might be master crafters, wont have that chance for a while..

Especially with this crown sale. And granted it will cost a lot, maybe 10-20k crowns? But, if someone wants to pay, this seems like to much of an advantage to quick. Normally i dont care about this type of stuff (p2w speculation, crown store stuff).. It doesnt really bother me. I guess i would rather the scrolls werent on the crown store, but its not something i would really care to debate over.. Thats just my position.. And on a massive scale i dont think THAT many people are going from 0 traits to 9 traits on everything with research scrolls..

But i just think it should be a natural progression for everyone who wants to work at it. But idk much about it, just a concern... But basically i want to see if someone at zos can clarify if i am on the right track here. And if i am, maybe you guys can think about giving it a few months before releasing them? Because im not saying they shouldnt exist, just that maybe they shouldnt exist before other people have the chance to do it in game. ..

Yes, yes they are.

the research time isn't really troubling me that much...

I had figured it would take me 3 to 4 weeks to have two characters be able to research and level up jewelry crafting to be able to make cp160 necklaces and rings for a six trait set - which are the crafted sets I use......

my concern now is exactly how long it might take me to acquire the materials to craft 3 pieces of epic jewelry...

What's the point in speeding up jewellery research? You won't have any tempers to make any worthwhile jewellery for a long, long time.

So im not that up to date on jewelry crafting. I know on the PTS it looked like it would take a lot of matts to upgrade the jewlry. like i think i deconned one thing and got maybe 3 purple matts that you need 10 of to make 1 purple matt that you would THEN need 4 of to upgrade. So like 14 purple jewelry maybe?

Most of the time will be spent collecting the material, research is not going to be an issue.

If someone want to spend 90k crowns (think I saw someone doing the maths about this, but don´t quote me on this) to get all traits on day one, be my quest.
These people will still have to spend an godlike amount of time getting the new materials to craft them (since the grind is horrible at the moment). The research time isn´t the issue with jewellery crafting, getting materials for it is

I believe jewelry research scrolls will become purchasable from the master writ vendor.
These scrolls have a cooldown of 20h so you cannot buy a bunch and power level the trait researching.
It will still half the research time so its probably worth to spending writs on.

When it comes to material it will be a bit of a grind, deconning useless stuff to level jewelry crafting could provide a reasonable amount of mats. Harvesting was reported to be tricky because there are very nodes, hopefully that will get adjusted before Summerset goes live. The upgrade tempers up to purple will be fairly common, gold tempers are a different story ofc. I actually think green upgrade tempers could be somewhat rare because most events reward blue or purple jewelry.

I hadn't deconned many purple items, so I just went on PTS and deconned 30 purple rings/necklaces. I ended up with 26 purple temper dust, no more than 1 purple dust per ring/necklace and sometimes none at all. That was using a template character with all the jewellery skills maxed out.

But who needs Purple crafted jewellery anyway. What we want is Gold, of our chosen sets, crafted or not!

Well if my math is correct then to research 9 traits (without counting the first 2 that only take 6 and 12 hours) it would cost 43,500 crowns. Now if someone buys that right now with this sale it would cost $252.00 usd. Doesnt seem like that much, i mean at least not 90k... And even if you count the first 2 that only adds 800 more crowns. Either way, you're right, if someone wants to spend that much then so be it. I just think zos should hold off on them for a month or so to give people a chance to do it without paying.

Hopefully they change this. If they're that rare its gonna be a nightmare.
