    Gratz!!!

    I'm still working on the research, but I've managed to obtain research items personally or via guildies to stay ahead of a research slot being filled.

    I'll be there in a month or three.

    Nice. I hit 6 traits on both on Friday and am in the process of researching the 7th trait for Neck right now. Only 4 months left until I finish without any aid.

    Not really a "grind" to get 2 items to 9 traits with crown scrolls.

    When I get my own to 9, I will be satisfied to know it was all research and no crown store purchased achievement. Like my other 9 traits.

    Um, calling BS on that. I got GMC, and did it with only in-game, writ-purchased scrolls. Also FYI, you don't need both items to 9 traits to get the achievement. You only need to research each trait once.

    At 10v per scroll, you need hundreds of vouchers worth to get the most effect, and you need careful planning and micromanaging to ensure you don't waste any time. Not to mention getting the vouchers themselves if you don't have them.

    I personally did dozens and dozens of small bit writs. Grindy, but it freed up space in the bank.

    Getting the 10 voucher scrolls made/makes a dent in my voucher depot, but I'll get the achievement in 7 days. I could have 'strategised' a bit more and gotten it earlier, but I'm fine with it. The gold colour from the damn upgrade achievement is more important anyway...

    Maybe he did it with research scrolls from the writ vendor? That would be quite a grind if you do it that way. Anyone done the math on that?

    I am 8 trait ring, and working on 8 trait neck at the moment. Just got the GMC title, so no hurry as I dont see myself crafting 9 trait jewelry anytime soon.

    I suppose he got his GMC in the first 5-10 days of Summerset and was talking about just maxing out JC. And, having that "100 Master writs completed" achievement you are bound to have tons of vouchers (or at least 300-400)

    I have neither. I'm at 6 trait for both rings and necks though, so any traits after this are gravy. Still need to get my skill to 50, though, so I can make 160 pieces.

    Congrats @Pwnyridah.

    OMG ... I never thought I'd see people saying that jewelry crafting is not a grind! LOL

    My crafter is @ lvl35 in JC... I got 6 traits researched so far, I've refined over 300 pewter & platinum mats... but still don't have the mats to make one blue ring with 100% success rate! I have one purple improvement mat & not even one gold grain of a mat. It's the most grindy grind that ever ground.

    Yea, you really only need 6 traits for the most commomly used crafted sets. Researching traits is the easy part anyway just need gold. Materials and Mat Passives? That is the real slog

    How can you grind traits ? You just need patience and wait for the timers to run out. Is waiting without doing anything really
    considered a grind ?
