Pet peeve: crafting tables do not "remember" item level

drogon1 · April 2015

When you craft say a lvl 48 chest piece that reqs say 12 bars of material, when you swap to craft other armor pieces the crafting table "remembers" NOT the level you're crafting, but the material quantity. Thus, if you're not paying attention, you end up crafting stuff of different levels. This is un-intuitive.

Crafting tables should "remember" the level of the item you're crafting, not how many items of material you're using.

Nothing more annoying that traveling to some remote site to craft a couple pieces of armor, swapping to your alt for whom you made the stuff for, and discovering different item levels. Grrrr.

I think I ran into this last night... >.> I was crafting armor for some buddies and I'd switch to a different piece, and it seemed that the level was changing on its own, because I coulda sworn that I didn't change how much material I needed, and I had to adjust it several times when switching to different pieces. Like, an example is that I was making v4 armor, which is the base for the second vet crafting tier, and some of the pieces would switch to v5 or something, seemingly on their own, when I didn't touch the material section in order to keep it all at v4. I didn't notice that the material amount would stay the same across the board, but if it was, it'd certainly explain why I had to keep adjusting it when I switched to certain pieces to keep the armor/weapons at the lvl I needed them to be.

Hope I'm making sense? I can't figure out how to word it any better. >.<'

I know first hand that a crafting Addon can cause this problem. I have one that will let me create an "x" number of items so I don't have to press the key over and over again. This does cause an issue when switching items for the material level to go up or down for smithing, clothing and woodworking. Once I remove that Addon it works fine.

I'm not saying that's the case for you two though. If you do have an Addon for it, try it without it, if it's still doing it, submit examples with a bug report and hopefully @ZOS will take care of it.

Yeah, I don't use any crafting addons like that.

Bug report submitting time. >.<
