You are going to be dying for a long enough period you will become a lich. :O They have already stated they have zero plans to make this happen anytime in the next few years, so it is extremely unlikely to happen.

I am dying waiting for this to happen. Jewel crafting would give us the ability to have two full crafting station sets.

and you state why they wont do it after saying you want it.

Complete post.

WELL DONE.

it's really strange.... whyyyyy we can't craft it?

There was saying a lot.. but over the 2 years - no certain info, and it's make me really sad(

They do need to add some more crafting aspects to the game. As far as crafting goes in general, we have seen nothing new since the games release. So jewelry crafting would be a welcome addition. So would Spellcrafting, but that will be much harder to implement due to balancing issues.

No jewelry crafting ever please, it would break game. Requires people to find a crafted and dropped set. Also, the the best Jewelry (gold sets) should only we rewarded for leaderboards--not from crafting improvements.

Having only the best items being dropped and finds leads to pay to play issues. While I myself am a ESO plus player. I have heard a myriad of complaints about pay to play. If you make the best times dropped items guess where the best items are going to be found? DLCs which you pay for.

Better to put it in to the crafting matrix where everyone can have access to the better gear. If a person does not like crafting they can always buy crafted items. Trust me crafting is not easy and it takes a lot of patience, time, and skill points.

Also not everyone has the time as the unemployed, retired, and kids home from school. So by making it based off leader boards they are punishing those who work for a living.

I still support the idea but the craftable sets can't be as good as the current BiS gear. It needs be new 3 piece sets on its own and not part of Hunding etc. Last it might have to be pretty expencive - maybe introduce some new mats you need for it.

The problem with making completely new sets is how would they be included in the game. There are already crafting stations for all the existing sets. Would jewelry crafting have its own unique stations to give unique sets? Where would these crafting stations be located? What kind of bonuses could these new sets give that would differentiate them from existing 3 piece sets (e.g., willpower, agility, endurance)?

Introducing materials unique to jewelcrafting would also have issues. Jewelry is typically made using metals and gemstones. If we use gemstones as a unique material, where would they come from? If they use metal, would they use the same metals as smithing? If they use new metals, why wouldn't those metals also be used in smithing too and vice versa? What quality improving materials would it use?

To start addressing the concerns over materials, we should start by setting some parameters. Rings only have three intrinsic properties: level, quality, and a stat boost. This contrasts with most gear having the properties level, quality, motif, and trait. This means that jewelcrafting would have the same breadth of materials for level and quality, but it would only have three materials for the last property (magicka, stamina, or health) compared to the nine traits of other crafted gear (and obviously no motif). This is a much smaller range of possible materials than any of the other crafting skills. Unless they add a slew of new possible traits for jewelry, I don't see the devs making a new crafting profession for it.

I would be happy just being able to improve or deconstruct existing jewelry.

That's pretty much all I want at this point.

Most likely they figure nobody would farm for the dropped sets if they could craft a similar set. Therefore no one would do the quests in order to obtain jewelery.

Just thought I would post here to bring this to the top of the list in the forums. Let them know its not going away lol.
