Jewelry Crafting System: WHEN?

One of the big selling points for this game was the revolutionary crafting system, where you could make and improve items that would keep your character viable even in top tier content. Since One Tamriel (and even before really with the addition of proc sets), this has been completely cast by the wayside.

Not only is crafting outshined in strength, coolness of visual effects, and diversity of build options since they have jewelry and crafted sets don't, but the whole aspect of what made crafting more like the Elder Scrolls was just gutted from the game.

There is one simple and obvious change the community has been desperately pleading for going on 3 years now that could return crafting to it's former glory:

Allow us to craft jewelry set items and improve jewelry through crafting.

This was something we were told was in the works "soon" back in 2014.

Can you guys please tell us this is something you have not simply forgotten?

    Originally, it was in one of the early betas. You'd need to ask one of the Psijics for details on that if you're really curious.

    Ironically, I'd be fine with there being no jewelry crafting if there was some way to obtain jewelry for crafted sets, and if there was some way to upgrade them (maybe as part of enchanting).

    it will not happen anytime soon. they are too busy nerfing everything ...maybe once when they see how many people have un sub and left playing the game they might actually read and implement features players have been begging for , for years.

    However i do this for my own purpose to gain trust of mortals to worship me and to eliminate my competition i will not bend my knee to lead your army to serve you Molag Bal , i will simply just take it from you.."--- Forsaken Sin( Magica Sorc)

    @Phinix1 You already know I agree 100% ZoS really needs to make crafting relevant again and this would be a simple easy fix without having to go and adjust every sets bonuses.

    Crafting, reforging, and an end to BOP if we have to suffer the lottery drop.

    When I played TES games I could strip the shoes off every NPC I killed. Just because this is an MMORPG doesn't mean it has to be an EverQuest clone.

    Find a new carrot to keep people running dungeons. Score us, give us stuff for extra hard content, something other than the status quo.

    Except... wrong crafting. It was spell crafting that was mentioned in Road Ahead 2014, not jewelry crafting.
    http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2014/05/01/the-road-ahead---may-1st

    Jewelry crafting was never available during beta testing, either. It was mentioned briefly by Paul Sage, but never as a promise or certainty.

    They'll prob sell it to us in the next "chapter" or at some point when the money from playing house starts to fade.
    It wouldn't be terribly difficult to inplement either, but I think zos is more interested in tying us to the grind. Cause there would be a could chance I would use kags and juilonos for my Templar.

    Problem though is, players who realize they are on an endless grind will leave.

    Jewelry Crafting System: WHEN?

    PC/Mac Patch Notes v9.7.19

    Mounts
    You will now have a chance to obtain a Flying Purple Baby Mammoth mount from this seasons crown crates.
    PvP
    Every PvP player was so happy with the latest round of class balance changes and gear enhancements that no further patches to the PvP environment will ever be needed again.
    Crafting
    Jewelry crafting is now live in Tamriel. Create hundreds of set pieces to compliment your existing gear and more!
    All you need to craft a piece of jewelry is an ingot of material appropriate to your level and a Mythic Ambrosia recipe.

    jewelry shouldn't be available for all possible sets.Pobably better to let this one go. it would probably just lead to worse nerfs in a year.

    I've never understood this frame of thought. I always hear people say that once they get their gear there is nothing left to do. Seriously? Then why play at all? Once I get my gear, I use it. I also don't want to spend my life in this game just grinding for gear.

    methinks you are on to the truth of it...

    In here's a happy-snap of the dev team circa 2013:
    http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Development_Team

    I think somewhere on the forum that had a more recent pic of the dev team. Compare the two if you can find the recent shot, and notice anything obviously different at a glance?

    WAIT>>> WAIT!!!! holy !@#&%!@!!! I just looked at that wiki page, and look who's listed as a "content designer"!?!!?!?!? DAVID ZEB COOK!!!!!

    holy !@#& ... does he still work as ZOS? respect!!!!

    (i think I just spooged on my keyboard)

    srsly, you good people do know who DAVID ZEB COOK is yes???? wow.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cook_(game_designer)

    That guy is a !@#&*^!@ GIANT!!!! (blows dust off my old CONAN UNCHAINED modue) ... I'm sorry, I'm just amazed... can we get this confirmed?!?!?!

    This is HUGE!!! it needs it's own thread!!! does anyone know what he wrote/developed for ESO, which parts I mean? It's as big a thing as finding out GYGAX worked on ESO... I'm gobsmacked.

    I'd rather we had he option to craft (maybe in the Enchanting skill line) but this is - I think - a VERY reasonable compromise.

    Because part of what made this game unique, and gave it the "Elder Scrolls feeel" in an MMO, was that the crafting system was strong and allowed you to be viable in higher content without having to play the RNG drop lottery.

    With the introduction of proc set overworld drops and One Tamriel, crafting was mostly rendered obsolete, which totally gutted a huge part of the game. People have invested literally months researching traits, just to have crafting outclassed by the new proc meta and now borderline pay-to-win research tokens added to the cash shop?

    Plus, these already superior drop sets come with jewelry as an option making them even better for build customization!

    Adding the ability to craft and improve crafted jewelry would return crafting to at least somewhat of a viable state. Perhaps it could be that only crafted jewelry can be improved...
