Crafting Q's

I love the crafting in this game, it is simplistic, but at the same time enjoyable. Unlike other game you can also be completely self-sufficient, at least from what I have seen of crafting you are.
So well done Zeni for finally getting crafting right in an MMO, +10 to you guys.
To my questions;
1) The rare drops to improve gear, do they become more common in later levels and with more points in hirelings?
2) By how much can you reduce the cost of rare components by?
3) Does crafting stay self sufficient until end game, or will I be forced into raiding to find that rare mat to make something of a higher level? (If so i am taking those 10 points back Zeni)
Thanks in advance

Yes and yes. That's one reason why I research with low level items and decon higher.1) The rare drops to improve gear, do they become more common in later levels and with more points in hirelings?
I take it to mean 'what's the maximum increase in upgrade chance per upgrade item'. I can 90% in three for the lower level stuff (greens and blues), if my memory is right. Four for purples?2) By how much can you reduce the cost of rare components by?
There's no raiding - just dungeons, the upcoming adventure zone and PvP.3) Does crafting stay self sufficient until end game, or will I be forced into raiding to find that rare mat to make something of a higher level? (If so i am taking those 10 points back Zeni
I've gotten quite a few gold upgrades from my hireling and a few on refining. It'll take a while before I get enough for a full set of gold, though.
It's not really the sufficiency. A purple crafted item is identical to a purple drop item, except.... you can choose the style if that's important and customize the trait. They'll accept the same enchants, and both can be upgraded to gold.1 -
Mortelus✭✭✭Thanks for the answers
What I meant on 3) was in other games i had to maybe contact a blacksmith to make something for me so I could make a bow using the component the BS had made. Also you would have a really rare mat that could only be obtained from a raid/instance.
In higher levels does this happen or is it always just the upgrade components used and wood/metal ingots depending on your craft?Edited by Mortelus on April 22, 2014 11:58PMWho has time? But if we never take time how can we ever have time?0 -

No, the material requirements don't increase beyond base, style and trait. Unlike other MMO crafts, you don't have to ask a blacksmith to make a belt buckle so your leatherworker can make that high level belt.
You got the leather? You got the style mat? You got the trait item? You now have a nice, shiny Veteran 5 belt you can upgrade yourself from materials you get while deconstructing / refining.
Okay, sure, if you want to enchant it, you'll need an enchanter to sell you the glyph... but that's it.
Zero overlap. You don't need a blacksmith to do any tailoring and vice versa.Edited by Sihnfahl on April 23, 2014 12:05AM1 -
