Is intricate jewelry inspiration broken?

Armatesz · June 2018

Something I noticed a lot is that for some really odd reason intricate seems to be way weaker when it comes to jewelry crafting than the other crafting sorts, is it just me or anyone else notice the lackluster it provides?

I noticed the same thing yesterday. Deconstructed an intricate and the xp bar barely moved a blip. No more than it moved when I created items for the writ I'd done just before, that got me the intricate I deconstructed. My reaction was just 'Oh they REALLY want to make this a grind, don't they? This, on top of everything else?' sighed, and moved on.

my only complaint is crazy high percentage of level 1 jewels I get for completing jewelry writs...

for some reason I thought it would be 50% craft level and 50% character level on the reward jewelry for completing writs...

I'm getting like 80% level 1 stuff...

now that you mention it though - your right, I don't see much a difference for deconstructing an intricate piece from an ornate piece...

maybe the intricate inspiration bonus went the way of the jewelry hireling...
