I think it’s a simple answer.

Enchanting and metal working would be where this would happen but this game doesn’t use two seperate professions for crafting so.......that’s why.

I don’t think it’s anything more than this.

Ideally they’d want to merged parts of enchanting into metal working.

Then the left over would just be enchanting and they’d add spell crafting.

I believe the two things ppl ask for require drastic changes and they never changes crafting to mirror the level scaling update.

-level scaling crafted items (not transmog)
-actually add transmog not artwork crafting (limited to crafting limitations)
-add spell crafting
-add jewelry crafting with major changes as a result of spell crafting.

Look at the guild store slots. There needs to be a logical way to replace existing vs adding a whole bunch of new stuff. Requires a bunch of decisions that maybe are just easy to avoid right now.

Ok simple system that could make jewelry improvement work and not crush the need to gain jewelry in the first place. So you find a green ring of "stuff", right now you sell that cuz it's green and who has time for crap like that? What i propose is using the established OMG additive i need more of what to improve what method. 2 identical green rings combine to form a blue ring, then you need 4 blue rings to make a purple ring, then you would need 8 purple rings to make it gold. There would still be a need to farm those blue rings from normal dungeons if you ever wanted to improve them, and same for purple vet rings.
As far as crafted sets, They should just put them into the dolman loot/ chest loot for zones those crafting stations are in. DLC areas would just be chests, or add them to WB drops. Same method of improvement i mentioned earlier. Still grind-ish but at least doable, and it could create market space for this too. As far as what skill it requires just make there no skill but rather a piece of furniture called the Smelter, and have one conveniently located in the center of the Newest DLC zone free to all that have access.

To me ESO seems to be woefully underfunded.

There are plenty of players that don't hold true crafting in high regard and with the upcoming changes that number is only gonna go up. Between actual development and balance it could take some time to implement such a system.

It would enable more options adding more variety to play-styles. And would make some of use who would rather further our crafts feel like were not wasting our time, instead of finding friends to help/carry them all the way to
.

This will never be implemented. If it ever is it won't be anything you people are hoping it would be.

ZoS is leazy and they won't make money off of it therefore devoting resources to it isn't efficient

I think it's more of a "save for future expansion" feature. Besides spellcrafting, this was the only other major QOL feature they talked about shortly after launch that hasn't been implemented as far as I recall.

But I agree with the other posters regarding the difficulty of implementing the system from a balance perspective, especially considering there will probably be a few dozen new sets in the game by the time it would be released.

Hey guys, calm down. This is an indie company afterall.




Jokes aside, they will introduce it. It just needs a lot of work like re-balancing and introducing the system.

I think they'll get around to it eventually. It probably keeps getting bumped for other more pressing work. The plan is to have at least one major new feature/system each year, and jewelry crafting is an ace up their sleeves which they can play when the time is right.

Because, balance.

Forcing Magic characters out of a full set because the Staff takes up two slots but not two set pieces is totally balanced...
