Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Can we have a "exchange motif/research knowledge between characters" service token?

    Nope, learned motifs impact a lot of end game crafting ... including master writ drops and achievements.

    Not to mention the value of motifs would take a nosedive.

    If you're worried about style, outfit tokens already exist for easy swapping on the outfit overlay.

    I would very much like this idea. Any chance we can apply it to furnishing recipes too? I've learned a few on the wrong character. :disappointed:

    I send all my motifs to my crafting character. With outfit styles now a thing I don't even have to worry about acquiring rare style materials or buying mimic stones anymore.

    Not motifs, but I could see some mechanism for transferring knowledge of recipes/schematics where you were charged a fee based on the level of the recipe/schematic, it burned some number of craft's worth of the materials for the item (the original teaches you the right way to do it; transferring the knowledge to another character requires practice and mistakes). So if one character learned, say, Roast Venison, another character on the same account could spend X coins and, say, 10 Game in practicing the recipe, and then would be able to make Roast Venison themselves. It could be handled loosely similarly to the existing research mechanism, with the time being dependent on the level of the recipe/schematic -- Roast Pig, for example, might be only 5 hours, but a purple or gold recipe might be days.

    Why should they add those if they can sell research scrolls and motivs in the crown store instead? That'd be cutting their own throats, would it not be, and not just for a sausage inna bun... ;)

    Wont happen as TheShadowScout said above.


    Additionally, please don't devalue my effort of many 9 trait characters with full motif knowledge :)

    Why? Let your crafter remain your crafter. It takes a grand total of two relogs to switch and switch back?
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.
