I hate having to logout then choose my crafting character when I want to make some gear. Could be a limited time, once a day skill. The researching and skill leveling still belongs to the crafter (not the summoner). You'd still need to logon to your crafter for writs I'd think.
The nerf to intelligent internet discussion still hasn't been resolved.

✭✭Making separate crafting 'toons is a play-style game choice.
The account owner decided to make separate 'toons so that they'd be able to take advantage of having more free skill points to spend in different areas on 'toons that each did fewer crafts.
No problem, but learn to live with your choices.
You really CAN'T have it ALL, ALL the time.
Now, go have fun.

I started out with a DK who I made into a tank. I invested a lot into this character but I decided to semi-retire him in favor of a magPlar. Each character has different skill point allocations & I'd rather not invest too much into crafting skills for the magplar since the DK has the most experience with crafting. I created a few toons from different alliances and classes so I could explore & experiment with the game. The DK has a lot more traits & motifs researched and it'd take months for the magplar to catch up.
I lived with my choices but in order to learn more about the game it's useful to expand & learn with alts. Besides many players have crafting toons separate from their main.The nerf to intelligent internet discussion still hasn't been resolved.

ascottk✭✭✭I take it that you're on PC...
It takes a long ass time to switch characters on xbox. 8 secs to logout, 20+ secs. to character loading screen, 30+ seconds to load other character. That's being generous. In other words it's loading screen hell.The nerf to intelligent internet discussion still hasn't been resolved.

ascottk✭✭✭If I don't level crafting skills on one character I find character level mats AND low level mats (I.E. rubedite core & iron ore, depending on crafting skill level) so farming is a little more useful. I could invest in crafting decon passives so I don't have to switch as often though. It'd be nice if the non-crafter could inherit crafting skills even if it's for a limited time.
What's lazy is one word responses to describe... well... laziness. Ironic. Maybe I should include rules in my posts to spur intelligent discussions. Why or why not? Reasoning? Discuss! But expect & hope less especially on the internet.The nerf to intelligent internet discussion still hasn't been resolved.

magicsprout✭✭✭I agree its a pain especially when you just switch back and someone else asks for gear made. Best bet is to do the skill poont grind to make your char competative enough to do stuff and level your other chars in crafting. Just enough to cover those training gear requests. Its what i do anyway0

So - respec the points on your retired 'toon, and bring him back to professional usefulness.

What was a pain was when we had no crafting bag, and your lower lvl 'toons were almost max inv useage and bank was almost full.
One had to put 4 items in the bank, swap to a mule, take those 4 items out, maybe put 2 different items in, swap to a main, take those 2 out, put 4 items in, swap to a different mule....
THAT was a pain in BookKeeping-On-Line.
Some of use had 4 crafters and 4 or 5 mules.....
Woe unto he who left style stones on the wrong mule when a crafter was trying to figure out WHICH mule they were on......

Haha! It was a gift but I started out on PC (which fried with a power surge). Then I had a XB360 and games were cheap so I stuck with that route. XBone is a massive pain... install everything & then 40 gigs of updates & you need to have a XBLive account AND be online to play anything. ESO doesn't need a sub BUT you need Live Gold for any online games. Then add ESO+ to the mix (did it for the crafting bag) and now ESO is the most expensive game I played. ESO+ should be cheaper IMHO.
I should be happy with the craft bag since it's shared between characters.So - respec the points on your retired 'toon, and bring him back to professional usefulness.
Win/Win.
IDK if it's the Breton side of the DK but he constantly frustrated me. I occasionally accept dueling requests & I often lose, unless you consider a forfeit a win (which I don't). 3 people forfeited on me. I guess they don't want a fight that could last hours
One reason I made him into a tank. IDK if I invested in the wrong abilities or used subpar equipment but he's tiring & monotonous. The nerf to intelligent internet discussion still hasn't been resolved.

I meant you should respec the tank and use all the points to make him a resource node collector and craftsman.
You can prolly lvl him up in a short period of time with all the points you will have available.The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.0
