Jewelry skill line

duagloth

How long before adding hireling and more than one research at a time? It should be in line with the other crafting skills by now.

At this point, it will probably never happen. Its clear the top-end mats (purple and gold) are meant to be intentionally scarce, especially when compared to their blacksmith, woodworking, and clothing cousins. On some level, this makes sense as there are less items to improve versus the others

Although, the research to me makes no sense

I think the research thing is because there are only two types of items-- rings and necklaces. Given that we can only research one trait at a time on any type of item-- be it a dagger, a shoe, a shield, or a ring-- it would be massive overkill (compared with the other crafting lines) to let us research traits on both (all) types of items at once.

As far as the improvement materials, I've got plenty of purple and gold mats-- for my personal use, anyway, which is primarily for doing master writs. It's the blue mat I'm desparate for, now that the change to master writs made blue master writs so common. The other night I was going through my storage chests, came across an old gold master writ that somebody had given me because they were just going to destroy it, and I was easily able to craft it because I'd saved up so many purple and gold mats since then-- got a huge number of writ vouchers from it.

The research time for jewelry is already the fastest. It doesn't need any changes.

How much would everyone freak out if Bracelets were added to the game?

They would have to add bracelets to every loot pool. That would probably destroy the game because they would have to tweak the "old code", and that never ends well. XD

There's 18 research items for jewelry and 1 slot. 18/1 = 18

There's 126 research items for blacksmithing and 3 slots. 126/3 = 42

There's 126 research items for clothing and 3 slots. 126/3 = 42

There's 54 research items for woodworking and 3 slots. 54/3 = 18

Don't think jewelry is out of line at all.

They'd implement bracelets, and in the same patch we'll all suddenly be wearing our armor backwards and run out of stamina climbing stairs.

But on the flip side, all the master crafters would have something to use those ‘decrease all research times by a day’ scrolls.

Woodworking upgrades are the ones least needed, as you need 0 to 2 wooden items per build, and 2 to 3 jewelry (2 in case of mythic)

Too bad Jewelry doesn't include ... Jewels. For example, these could be slotted into armor sets, and give NON COMBAT effects (to not shake up the whole PvP / PvE bag of cats):

(Here named as examples using types of gemstone cuts)

• Marquise -- Not chased by PvE animals while on horseback.
• Princess -- No NPC may address you without permission (eg, Stuga)
• Radiant -- Lights up dark areas (without my personal cheat of turning up the brightness level).
• Trillion -- Enables you to do the 'Scrooge McDuck' swim in gold emote when you acquire a large sum of gold.
• Rose -- Gives an extra five second delay before guards lock on (... you "come out smelling like a rose")

These are cool ideas.

To save turning your brightness up and down, use a memento called Almelexia's enchanted lantern which will brighten areas up for you. I love it.

As someone who's researching jewellery on a new server, the one at a time thing is fine.

A hireling would be welcomed for sure though.

Except then they would just swarm around you and follow wherever you go, waiting patiently for you to give them permission to address you.

When Princess is leveled to purple level, you get those guards from that Vulkhel Guard mission that slap them out of there like Rick James.
