Why can't we have the ability to make a campfire and provision food and drink anywhere we want?

Why can't we have a sewing kit that allows us to make clothing items anywhere we want?

Why can't we have a portable hammer and anvil or something of the sort so we could metal craft on the go?

Why can't we carry knives and sandpaper or similar things to do woodworking on the go?

Why can't we have a pouch of runes and a chisel that we could enchant when we need to?

Why can't we have a portable alchemy setup? Heck, bandits set up alchemy stations in caves! Why can't we carry portable apparatuses with us?

ZOS could sell these for writ vouchers like the other stations, or heck, even sell assistants that you summon and they set up the portable station for you and you craft what you need.

It would be so nice to do writs wherever I want....decon items in a dungeon I've been farming...without porting in and out over and over...it would be so nice and logical to be able to do these things as a GRAND MASTER CRAFTER after all. Kinda hard to believe I can't whittle a bow or tool some leather out in the wild...

    So the cities would become deserted ghettos? Everyone would be running animated portable crafting stations while waiting for bosses to spawn? No thanks.

    The one I can get behind is the campfire. Its not exactly hard to make a campfire in the wild and fairly reasonable to expect adventuring types to know some basic survival techniques.

    That and there are loads of non-interactable cooking fires scattered across the landscape. Beakers and other glassware could easily be shattered in a fight, cast iron cookwear not so much.

    +1 to the campfire, hell no to the rest.

    and only because every now and then, being a ***, i forget i've run out of food & have to pray for an in-dungeon foody crafty thingy.

    So people would rather complain about lag than support an idea that could spread out the population? Okay then. There are plenty of things to go to cities for. Banks, guild banks, guild stalls, quests, writ turn ins, and other things. Being able to decon and craft out and about would not make cities barren.

    Portable crafting station (only for Alchemy so far?) was "datamined" :) I would love to see portable crafting stations released! Especially if those categories are true, and such useful item will be unlocked by purchasing one of future "chapters" (more value to the purchase):

    I remember asking about this year's ago(I've always been big on crafting in any game(EQ had me hooked early) and got pretty much the same response. I'm not sure why it's necessary to shoot down ideas just to make people go to town and watch all the 8000 people dueling at wayshrines especially with zone chat, but /shrug seems to be all the rage. OP I'd love to see portables implemented.

    Yeah, I don't really agree with portable craft stations and that might just be because I've spent so many writ vouchers and time grinding out craft stations for my homes lol.

    But I don't think it makes any sense that I can set my enemies on fire with my staff, but can't build a fire to feed myself xD

    At the very least, I think they should make it so that any fire can be used as a provisioning fire.
