very exciting improvements

though after reading, it suggests that jewelry is only removing grains (unrefined tempers), is that also going to remove the unrefined trait materials to bring the craft in line with other crafts?

Trial groupfinder!

Finally Jewelrycrafting gets some QOL upgrades. That's been a long time coming.

These are some of the best game changes I've seen in a while! The group finder will be game-changing, no more trying to find a random crafting station in your guild's home, and jewelry crafting plating improvements!? Amazing, thank you ZOS!

That is all.

In the Twitch Stream from Friday I saw the options for Group Finder, which includes a "Speed Run" and "Standard Run" option checkboxes. This is something I'm excited for and have been waiting to get added to the Dungeon Finder.

My question is... are these options now available for Dungeon Finder?
If not, will the Group Finder for Dungeons (with these options available) qualify for your first daily run Purple XP dungeon?
If not, please consider adding these options to the Dungeon Finder or integrate the purple XP run into Group Finder somehow.

With the Trial finder there should be an option for players who have completed the Trial before and another option for players who have not completed the trial before….otherwise you could end up with in a group where no one knows what the hell to do and you would have to explain every mechanic to a possible 11 people if you are the only one in group who has completed the trail before.

One other thing that wasn't clear to me is whether you can swap in new participants to Endless Archives? It was made clear that once you switch from solo to duo, you can't switch back, but let's say the person you started with has to leave unexpectedly, can you bring in a different friend to continue your duo instance? Or do you have to start over with the new friend?

My assumption is that you would have to start over as it seems unlikely there is a way to transferring the threads of life and the duration buffs... Besides which, if that was allowed, a large group of players could make the experience truely endless...
