Crafting respec plz

badmojo · October 2015

If you're going to ramp up the crafting writs to use vr15 materials, the least you could do is give us our crafting points back so we can allocate them to suit our needs.

Currently I do wood/cloth/metal writs on 6 characters everyday. It's a significant part of my game right now. Thinking I was doing something good, I put in the extra point to be able craft vr15/16 gear on all my characters. But, that act has cost me a lot of gold in the form of buying respec for all six of those characters.

YOU are changing the game ZOS, I should not have to pay the price for it. If you're changing something, give us the points back and let us decide if we want 9/10 and vr9 writs, or 10/10 with vr15 writs.

Also, what the heck happens if I decide not to buy Orsinium? Can't do writs in craglorn anymore, but can't farm new materials either because can't access the new area. I guess I could farm IC, but I doubt I could even get enough material for one writ in an 8hr session.

I just feel like the work I've done in the past few months to get my characters working, has all backfired and been a big waste of time and gold. It's bad enough to pay 4k per character per day, just to get enough wood to do a writ that mostly pays out a white item and a trait stone. Now we're gonna be paying 20k+ per character, per day, per craft.... and for what? The same glass fragments I've been getting all along?

Ugh, such a mess.

I hear ya, but personally I only have 2 main crafters, that deals with all the professions at max level.

E.g, old main deals with Blacksmithing/Woodworking/Clothing at max level
Other crafter deals with Enchanting/Provisioning/Alchemy

Do writs for a few chars for all professions, but only put in points for hirelings to alleviate mats attrition on my toons, and also frees up a lot of skill points for my characters to spend as I see fit.

You only really need 1/2 crafter characters to do everything, not every single toon being a max level crafter, but each to their own.

But tbh its not up to Zeni to reset your skill points, its up to you and how you spend them across the field that matters

Just saying.

Yeah, originally I had 1 character do each craft, but over the months of playing I leveled up the other crafts on them to 50 and put in the points for hirelings, then when the glass motifs came out I started putting points into their ability so I could do the writs more times per day. I still have 1 character who is the master crafter for each, but most of my characters have level 50 in every craft.

I see what you're saying about it's not up to Zeni, but I disagree based on what they've said in the past. They've always maintained the stance that if they change something in an update they will give us the chance to essentially "pick again", the problem is that mostly they just respec your entire character any time they changed anything in an update, which gets annoying when you don't want to change anything but you're forced to rebuild. Recently ZOS said they would stop resetting everyones points every patch. But, when they change something like this, it's hard to believe that it's my fault, how was I supposed to know what they would do with their game in the future?

Trust me, if this goes live, unchanged, there's going to be so much crying on the forums about having to respec, I'm just trying to get them to see the error in their ways early, so they can fix it before it's an issue.

Hehe aye fair points, normally as you know when Zeni offers a free respec, its normally in conjunction with major skills being changed, not gonna say balanced..., but you know what I mean, then you get a skill respec to that end.

I do see where you are coming from and tbh as normally when skills are reset, you have to sort your crafting points anyways, why not do as you suggest, seems fair.

badmojo · October 2015

Something they could do is reduce the price of a respec for a while after the DLC comes out. That way people who wanted a respec for whatever reason could get one and people who don't want to rebuild aren't forced to. I know they did this shortly after the game launched, and it worked good.

SHADOW2KK · October 2015

Aye tis true, see how it goes hehe.

Taleof2Cities · October 2015

I support this too ...

It's been suggested in other threads to give the players a CHOICE of whether they want to respec on a major update. It would sure be nice if ZOS could implement something like that ... /lurk.

Also, what the heck happens if I decide not to buy Orsinium? Can't do writs in craglorn anymore

You do realize you do not actually receive writs you cannot complete right? Why do you think my alts do writs in Rawl'kha instead of Craglorn? Because they do not have access to Craglorn despite being completely maxed in crafting. Don't have access to Orsinium? Then they won't give you a writ to turn in there regardless of the rank being 10 or not. If they do, it's a bug; plain and simple.

The areas you reference are level-restricted, Orsinium is not. It's reasonable to wonder if Zeni will have max level writs turn into a DLC, the way that they currently have some daily pledges in IC dungeons, whether you have the DLC or not.

Sorry, wrong, you can get writs that you cannot complete..
If you are training up another provisioner for example, then pretty much constantly will you receive writs for shizzle that your toon does not know recipes for, this happens all the time.

And all max level writs end up in Crag, so you can do all your writs there and hand them all in there also, providing ofc, that your max level crafter can access Crag.

At least this is true on PC. sounds like a bug on your platform, and not the general rule.

If you don't have the DLC though you can't go. Therefore you cannot possibly get the writs. Again if you do it should not be so.

There was actually a point in time when my main unlocked Craglorn that he did an Alchemy Writ or 2 in Craglorn and then stopped getting them and went right back to turning in Malabal Tor writs since they are the highest level for Aldmeri non-Vet Ranks alongside Provisioning. After the IC patch I believe it was he started getting Craglorn full-time.

Honestly I'd say PC is the bugged one if ya'll can get Writs you cannot even go complete. It was never an issue on PS4 because it just didn't happen.

Gotta agree, considering we have beta tested the game since Early Access 2014 hehe.

But in terms of provisioning writs on a new toon, you are always gonna get the same cycle of writs, same applies to the other professions, at least on PC, so you have to craft them on a toon that knows the required recipes or learn them or a friend crafting them for you, in either case for provisioning anyways, they do not go away, after you certify for the writs, then you get the same cycle of writs.

Well sure the writs will require you have the proper materials and know-how to do them that's how it is on console too but if you cannot access where you're supposed to turn them in then on consoles at least it limits you to the areas you can turn them in to. That is why my non-vet alts do Yew, Ebony, Ebonthread/Fell Hide, and below Vet Rank recipes for their writs.

Well aye its the same on PC, you got a low level toon embarking on low end crafting writs, and if you do not have improvement/crafting skill points put in, then you always have hand in your writs for Stonefalls/Glenumbra for EP/DC, (dont know about AD), and if you put skill points into whats required, then you can hand in your writs to the next zone up, until eventually you can put them all into Craglorn, as is the case for my crafters who are fully maxed out on all crafts.

You said earlier that your crafters are maxed out yet cannot hand them into Crag, as said, not sure how it is on consoe, but on PC providing you are indeed maxed out in the points required to craft stuff, then you shoud be able to hand in all writs into Crag.

Yeah the reason they cannot do Craglorn Writs is because Craglorn unlocks at VR1 and my alts are all Levels 12-21 at this time. Until they hit VR1 they cannot do Writs beyond Rawl'kha which is in Reaper's March.

Also zone order for AD is as follows: Auridon/Grahtwood/Greenshade/Malabal Tor/Reaper's March.

Well aye its the same on PC, you got a low level toon embarking on low end crafting writs, and if you do not have improvement/crafting skill points put in, then you always have hand in your writs for Stonefalls/Glenumbra for EP/DC, (dont know about AD), and if you put skill points into whats required, then you can hand in your writs to the next zone up, until eventually you can put them all into Craglorn, as is the case for my crafters who are fully maxed out on all crafts.

You said earlier that your crafters are maxed out yet cannot hand them into Crag, as said, not sure how it is on consoe, but on PC providing you are indeed maxed out in the points required to craft stuff, then you shoud be able to hand in all writs into Crag.

Yeah the reason they cannot do Craglorn Writs is because Craglorn unlocks at VR1 and my alts are all Levels 12-21 at this time.

Also zone order for AD is as follows: Auridon/Grahtwood/Greenshade/Malabal Tor/Reaper's March.

Ahhh right aye well that explains the issue then hehe, get your main crafters to Vr1 damnit:P

And cheers for clarifying the AD order:}

Also, what the heck happens if I decide not to buy Orsinium? Can't do writs in craglorn anymore

You do realize you do not actually receive writs you cannot complete right? Why do you think my alts do writs in Rawl'kha instead of Craglorn? Because they do not have access to Craglorn despite being completely maxed in crafting. Don't have access to Orsinium? Then they won't give you a writ to turn in there regardless of the rank being 10 or not. If they do, it's a bug; plain and simple.

The areas you reference are level-restricted, Orsinium is not. It's reasonable to wonder if Zeni will have max level writs turn into a DLC, the way that they currently have some daily pledges in IC dungeons, whether you have the DLC or not.

If you don't have the DLC though you can't go. Therefore you cannot possibly get the writs. Again if you do it should not be so.

Sorry, wrong, you can get writs that you cannot complete..
If you are training up another provisioner for example, then pretty much constantly will you receive writs for shizzle that your toon does not know recipes for, this happens all the time.

And all max level writs end up in Crag, so you can do all your writs there and hand them all in there also, providing ofc, that your max level crafter can access Crag.

At least this is true on PC. sounds like a bug on your platform, and not the general rule.

There was actually a point in time when my main unlocked Craglorn that he did an Alchemy Writ or 2 in Craglorn and then stopped getting them and went right back to turning in Malabal Tor writs since they are the highest level for Aldmeri non-Vet Ranks alongside Provisioning. After the IC patch I believe it was he started getting Craglorn full-time.

Honestly I'd say PC is the bugged one if ya'll can get Writs you cannot even go complete. It was never an issue on PS4 because it just didn't happen.

Gotta agree, considering we have beta tested the game since Early Access 2014 hehe.

But in terms of provisioning writs on a new toon, you are always gonna get the same cycle of writs, same applies to the other professions, at least on PC, so you have to craft them on a toon that knows the required recipes or learn them or a friend crafting them for you, in either case for provisioning anyways, they do not go away, after you certify for the writs, then you get the same cycle of writs.

Well I never get the writs for Craglorn since I cannot go, which is why I am glad Orsinium has writs I can do there because I never really restock Yew and all that since Coldharbour isn't very abundant in all of it, especially the Fell Hides. But yeah the usual intervals of time I invest into playing leave a lot to be desired for just quickly leveling my alts to Vet Ranks lol I do have like 7 of them I keep in check not to mention grabbing Skyshards and doing Quest Lines and whatnot.

Actually non vet alts can do writs up to Coldharbour. The alt has to do the quest that has you following around the NPC in Hollow City though. Tedious but not dangerous

BorrawinTheWarrior · October 2015

Im confused. Forgive me for being a noob, but I have to ask. Why would you be paying 4k gold on your characters EVERYDAY?

BorrawinTheWarrior · October 2015

Also I'd like to ask, why can you guys not go to craglorn? Isn't it open to everyone?

Forestd16b14_ESO · October 2015

Or maybe and ZOS try to follow me here ... ZOS can un-nerf crafting and make them cost reasonable and fair to players again cause believe it or not some players don't have 40+ hours a week to spare farming for materials such as 160 freaking ingots to make a freaking greatsword.

The problem is the materials for VR15 and VR16 gear such as Ruby ingots right now you can only get them from deconing junk gear and you only get them from either a scaled dungeon that is vr15 or vr16 if your lucky or the Imperial city and that takes forever cause 1 pieces of VR16 gear cost 10X more than vr15 gear.

So that ruby jerkin you want is 15 ruby leathers to make at vr15 will be 150 to make a vr16 and the biggest kick in the jewels is that there's really only a 10-40 point difference between vr15 and vr16 cause little know fact vr16 is only good when it is at gold level and IDK about you guys but I don't have 56 gold temper materials to spare to fully upgrade my vr16 armor to make it as "OP" as ZOS is so fond of stating

If you are training up another provisioner for example, then pretty much constantly will you receive writs for shizzle that your toon does not know recipes for, this happens all the time.

And all max level writs end up in Crag, so you can do all your writs there and hand them all in there also, providing ofc, that your max level crafter can access Crag.

At least this is true on PC. sounds like a bug on your platform, and not the general rule.

There was actually a point in time when my main unlocked Craglorn that he did an Alchemy Writ or 2 in Craglorn and then stopped getting them and went right back to turning in Malabal Tor writs since they are the highest level for Aldmeri non-Vet Ranks alongside Provisioning. After the IC patch I believe it was he started getting Craglorn full-time.

Honestly I'd say PC is the bugged one if ya'll can get Writs you cannot even go complete. It was never an issue on PS4 because it just didn't happen.

But in terms of provisioning writs on a new toon, you are always gonna get the same cycle of writs, same applies to the other professions, at least on PC, so you have to craft them on a toon that knows the required recipes or learn them or a friend crafting them for you, in either case for provisioning anyways, they do not go away, after you certify for the writs, then you get the same cycle of writs.

Well sure the writs will require you have the proper materials and know-how to do them that's how it is on console too but if you cannot access where you're supposed to turn them in then on consoles at least it limits you to the areas you can turn them in to. That is why my non-vet alts do Yew, Ebony, Ebonthread/Fell Hide, and below Vet Rank recipes for their writs.

Well aye its the same on PC, you got a low level toon embarking on low end crafting writs, and if you do not have improvement/crafting skill points put in, then you always have hand in your writs for Stonefalls/Glenumbra for EP/DC, (dont know about AD), and if you put skill points into whats required, then you can hand in your writs to the next zone up, until eventually you can put them all into Craglorn, as is the case for my crafters who are fully maxed out on all crafts.

You said earlier that your crafters are maxed out yet cannot hand them into Crag, as said, not sure how it is on consoe, but on PC providing you are indeed maxed out in the points required to craft stuff, then you shoud be able to hand in all writs into Crag.

Yeah the reason they cannot do Craglorn Writs is because Craglorn unlocks at VR1 and my alts are all Levels 12-21 at this time. Until they hit VR1 they cannot do Writs beyond Rawl'kha which is in Reaper's March.

Also zone order for AD is as follows: Auridon/Grahtwood/Greenshade/Malabal Tor/Reaper's March.

Actually non vet alts can do writs up to Coldharbour. The alt has to do the quest that has you following around the NPC in Hollow City though. Tedious but not dangerous

Well I doubt I can kick off

Meridia

giving me the tour before Level mid-40s so probably not an option at this time.

Im confused. Forgive me for being a noob, but I have to ask. Why would you be paying 4k gold on your characters EVERYDAY?

I'm afraid I don't follow... I mean sure I spend 2k a day for mount lessons for all 8 characters but where does 4k come from?

Also I'd like to ask, why can you guys not go to craglorn? Isn't it open to everyone?

To get to Craglorn you must become VR1. My alts are not VR1 lol

4k gold, per character, everyday. But, that's really just a rough estimate. It comes from the price of wood being about 40 gold and having to use around 100 of them per character everyday. Of course I like to hunt down deals, so it would be slightly less.

Why would I spend 24,000 gold a day for wooden crafting writs? Because I sold a couple glass motifs and I can afford to. A glass fragment is worth about 10,000 gold, gold upgrade materials are worth 2-4k.

Wood is expensive to buy tho, I would advise just doing metal & cloth writs if profit is your goal. I'm in it for the motifs at this point, so any gold loss is minor collateral damage.

Also, what the heck happens if I decide not to buy Orsinium? Can't do writs in craglorn anymore

You do realize you do not actually receive writs you cannot complete right?

That's a good point. I might have to weigh the benefits of owning this DLC against the cost in gold to respec all my characters for writs.

Jura23 · October 2015

I fully expect them to give free respec to everybody once it comes out. Not because the DLC but because of base game patch which as always will do some minor changes to some skills, so it's only fair.

Deheart · October 2015

As far as I know, there will be no more free respecs. A couple people spammed complaints after the last free respec and ZOS decided not to do it anymore.

The problem is the materials for VR15 and VR16 gear such as Ruby ingots right now you can only get them from deconing junk gear and you only get them from either a scaled dungeon that is vr15 or vr16 if your lucky or the Imperial city and that takes forever cause 1 pieces of VR16 gear cost 10X more than vr15 gear.

So that ruby jerkin you want is 15 ruby leathers to make at vr15 will be 150 to make a vr16 and the biggest kick in the jewels is that there's really only a 10-40 point difference between vr15 and vr16 cause little know fact vr16 is only good when it is at gold level and IDK about you guys but I don't have 56 gold temper materials to spare to fully upgrade my vr16 armor to make it as "OP" as ZOS is so fond of stating

I'm getting rubedite ingots, leather, and wood from hirelings right now. I'm not going to IC because I don't enjoy the pvp stuff.

When Wrothgar comes out, I'll be able to gather the higher level mats. I'm not one of the players who have to have the latest bestest gear.
