[Suggestion] Knowledge Transfer Tokens

Step 1: Activate token
Step 2: Select FROM Character
Step 3: Select TO Character
Step 4: Confirm, consume token

Result: All provisioning recipes, crafting style motifs, furnishing recipes, known alchemy effects, and any other consumable, collectible character knowledge is transferred from one character to another.

For those of us who want a new or different main, but are stuck with their original choice due to an extensive crafting investment. Banking recipes to feed to a character I only use for crafting is not fun. Turns into an annoying chore, and clogs up my bank with lots of dupes, since they don't show if other characters know a recipe or not. Also, having a retired character as the only crafter greatly reduces the amount of crafting that gets done. I don't log on with this character any more (except to eat recipes / clean out dupes from the bank, or occasionally craft gear); so I don't do writs, and miss out on a lot of materials. This would be an immensely convenient QOL improvement.

    No. This would ruin the trade market for selling patterns, etc..

    If you're on pc there's an addon, Character Knowledge, which allows you to see who knows what and who needs to learn recipes, motifs, etc.

    As far as your suggestion, some might like it, though most who would, would actually prefer a class change. I don't care personally, as I have gazoolas of alts, for which reason I use both Character Knowledge and Leo's Altholic.

    How? Nothing would be lost or gained; one character would lose knowledge, the other would gain it. People grinding for multiple master crafters would keep going at it, and the casual players won't be married to whichever character has the most crafting knowledge.

    I've lobbied for class change a few times; that discussion doesn't look like it's going anywhere. This would be my second choice to that as well.

    For console, this is the only way I can see to resolve the issues I've described.

    Yeah, consoles are sol with stuff for the most part. Though you might consider screenshotting your collection of recipes etc so you can look at what's where, and who needs to go get what's usable - though if you have a lot of alts that can still take a fair amount of time and energy!

    I didn't see the lose knowledge part. I still think that would make trading for these take a hit because no one would be buying recipes for a new main crafter.

    Multiclass system would be the best way to implement class change. You would not lose your current class rather add another class you can play. Their are players out their who are not playing because they don't want to lose all their stuff that they earned by switching to another class.

    What exactly do you lose by switching to a new "main character". Is it the just the fact you get quest starters in every zone? All your guild skills can be unlocked with crowns, acheivements are account wide and it literally takes 2 minutes to log onto your old character to make food/gear. I just don't see what this huge "loss" is by starting another character?

    I don't understand why the main crafter can't just stay the main crafter, either. My oldest character is my main crafter and it's not hard to just log her in when I need to make something.

    They could probably price it for about the same as a furnished manor.
