Make Ebon, Hircine, and Worm craftable

Sweetpea704 · June 2017

There are many people in my guild that have spent the time to be some of the best crafters in the game and yet all of the end game set ups are dropped sets.
I think that making Ebon, Hircine, and Worm craftable would be a nice bone to throw to all the crafters that have worked so hard to be the best crafters. These are sets that
PVE folks wear for trials, but probably not for their every day set up. It is basically an "extra set". I know that I have farmed the crap out of COH and it is pretty tough to get
sturdy Ebon, which is the meta now. These sets used to be Bind on Equip and that is what they should be.

These sets are not difficult to get then why wanting as craftable?

Someone said Hircine? This set is still junk unless ZOS reworked completly or stam healers born!

Just to make sure, you mean craft the set or the style? if you mean able to craft the set, sorry but that's absurd, it'S a dungeon set, you get it there, why not whle being there, asking to be able to craft Moondancer

I think there is armor sets that you need to at least work your ass off a bit to get them, and those are from pretty pretty much easy dungeons...

Just because end-game gear has to be crafted, doesn't mean master crafters are useless. Anyone who reaches CP 160 or lv 50 with a new toon, could always use a master crafter to get some decent CP160 gear to get started on farming these end-game sets.

To craft the sets, No chance, but the styles for those sets on the other hand, a good option on one part, seeing as the Ebony Style Associated with the ebon armoury set can be procured with Master craft writs from the Master craft mediator in mournhold, stormhaven & Grahtwood for 25 writs a page, or get the whole motif for 300 writs & saving 25 extra writs as getting each individual page costs 25 & getting all of them individually would cost 325 for all single pages by themselves.

Those sets are the original dungeon sets and should remain as such. They were the only 5 pc sets in vet dungeons on say one.

Well worm cult style will be about soon enough, there is a heavy, medium, and light version of the gear in the game.

Ebon is just a more worse version of ebony really though IMHO.

Edit: Oh you were talking about crafting dropped sets? Nah. Let's not do that.

Besides everything else it'd also mean no jewelry for these sets. No thank you.

What a bad idea. No thank you.

These sets can get easily, something like VMA, trials gear that i can understand requires lot of efforts and patience.

There is no need for these sets to be available as cratfed

Instead, why not change the 4-man dungeon sets from BoP to BoE. (Excluding trials sets and monster helms)

Most of the BoP sets are crap compared to some of the better BoE sets you can buy from guild traders anyways. You might spending months farming a dungeon just to get some set which is not even particularly amazing, but there is no other way to test these sets.

Running the same dungeon over and over again is not exactly challenging, just boring, and you can't even sell the stuff you do find.

If we are talking about style/motif, I am a very big fan of this.

I would *love* for a new, wolf themed, sleeveless motif with the Hircines kit from Selenes. Such an awesome looking set with such a terrible set bonus.
Would defo pay crowns for that even.

I much prefer them coming with jewelry and none of the three are hard to get ahold of.

Hard pass with a big side helping of no thank you.

No

subtlezeroub17_ESO · June 2017

No, they just need to do something to make armor crafting worthwhile. For example, allowing drafters the ability to "upgrade" armor pieces past yellow.

Giving crafters legendary armor and weapon schematics that drop from trial bosses

Giving crafters unique traits

Giving crafters unique pets and fun collectibles

Etc, ZoS just needs to be willing to be creative about it$

Zvorgin · June 2017

Just make them BoE and get rid of BoP and it's fixed. I personally would much rather just buy the traits I want off the guild vendor than run dungeons countless times. I have done the gear grind and will never do it again, I always incorporate a BoE or crafted set in my loadouts now. The small % difference is definitely worth the boredom saved by not farming a dungeon over and over.

LadyDestiny · June 2017

Why craftable? Go farm them. What they need is to make craftble sets more desireable, take less mats so crafters can actually be worth something and can make a little coin doing it. It's to expensive now to craft sets for other people. Zos stupid idea to cost ten times the mats for anything was an idiotic idea. But I can go farm that overland piece in five minutes and turn it for 50 to 300k. Go figure.......
