Perhaps they will sell research boosters in the "Cash Shop?"

We know it's intended, but we still wish it was halved... I just don't see how I'll be able to craft myself some armor set before christmas..
I'm now at 5-6 traits on light armor pieces, 1-2 traits on medium pieces, 5-6 traits on heavy armor pieces, 0-3 traits on bs weapons, 6-7 traits on ww weapons..

I'd love to make a medium armor alt, but I just can't make her any reasonable armor.. unless I'll just use the 2-trait set..

Glad the OP looking into crafting as he went along. Didn't see any pattern emerging then??

Yep, I mean a search of the forum would of brought up the subject as well. But as we know most prefer to start a new one than add to an old.

25 days is with research 3/3 if you didn't spend those 3 points, the last trait is 32 days.

Mastering all the traits should take time, its not the days that's a problem but only allowed 3 items at a time when blacksmith and clothier have 14 items while woodworking has 6.

If you post in a 2 day old thread, you are a Thread Necro, and if you create a new one, you are just making another of the same.

You just can't make some people happy.

I agree with time it take to research an item fully, makes it carry some value. Having the ability to craft 8/8 items should not be an easy task, and in all honesty, should probably require a bit more player investment to achieve.

I currently have bow at 8/8, dagger at 8/8, all staff at 7/8, light armor at 5/8, medium armor at 6/8-7/8 traits, and Heavy armor at 5/8-7/8 traits.

I think that the research times are quite unfair, considering -

I know a few people that have already completed every trait in the whole crafting cycle < - > OP?

I disagree with people saying 'research boosts' + 'Please nerf, it's too long'

I don't understand how it's too long. The 8th traited sets are better than the rest because they're something to look forward too in the game.

Everyone wants to have the best armor, and the best looking armor and including the best equipt overall - Yet, there's limits on how this is implemented.

Overall, I disagree.

Just a comment to point out that this is actually impossible. There's no way anyone could have an entire craft complete by now. It's simple math:

8 Traits: 6H + 12H + 1D + 2D + 4D + 8D + 16D + 32D = 63.75 Days

Even if the person magically got the craft high enough to be able to put 3 points into the "reduced time / 3 at once" skill on their first day, that's only a 20% reduction in time and 2/3rds reduction in total time. 63.75 x 0.80 / 3 = 17 days. Per piece.

To fully complete Blacksmithing or Clothcraft, which each have 14 pieces to research, that would be (17 x 14) 238 days.

Even if this person is referring to Woodworking, with only 6 pieces total, that's still (17 x 6) 102 days.

The game was released on April 4th of this year, or March 30th if you had early access. March 30th was only 87 days ago.

So as I said, impossible. No one has a full grid yet.

Interesting. Well then I'll revise my claim to be that "it is impossible without utilizing a since-patched exploit," which still renders his argument invalid, even if his statement is not.

Thanks for the info though, as I hadn't heard of that.
