@Ironman Yeah I found that out too. I am Level10 Blacksmith now and hoping to be between 15-20 by Monday morning. I am on the lookout for special blacksmithing places now to get their bonuses. Let me know if you need something manufactured. BTW, I couldnt access the Guild yesterday. Is that issue fixed yet?
I wouldn't mind joining a crafting guild. You know you get more experience deconstructing someone else's product than your own. Also, we could craft articles with traits we have researched and give them to other guildies to research, thus spreading the wealth.
Have you found anything that sells? The only 'requests' I get is for an item that has a trait that someone wants to research, so I make it so they can research it.
I have not found anyone buying just 'general' armor or weapons. I have 'upgraded' a few peoples armor that has 'set bonuses' they like, but no one appears to buy player made armor or weapons.
