Repurpose the Materials and Recipes for CP 1 - 159

Erickson9610 · May 11

An account will only ever get to be within the CP 1 - 159 range once. When reaching CP 160, new characters on that account will never need or want to use food/drink or equipment for the CP 1 - 159 range, while they still do have use for equipment in the Level 1 - 49 range (until they reach Level 50).

I think equipment and associated crafting materials for CP 1 - 159 should be moved into the Level 1 - 49 range. That would mean fewer levels to get the most use out of existing equipment in that range, but the unused CP 1 - 159 equipment would be desirable again.

Further, food/drink, potions/poisons, and enchantment glyphs in the CP 1 - 159 range should be moved to the Level 1 - 49 range as well.

Overall, that would mean that upon reaching Level 50, a player could immediately use what is currently considered to be CP 160 equipment, even if they haven't reached CP 160 yet. This would be a good change because CP 1 - 159 equipment and consumables are useless after an account reaches CP 160 because that account and its characters will never be in that range again, but since new characters will be in the Level 1 - 50 range, it makes the most sense to rework the equipment and crafting materials to be useful there.

Bigger fish to fry.

Unless its a fish recipe we are talking about.

What if they are used for furnishing?

It'd be neat if they could do like 200 of low level material would convert into 50 cp160 material or something. If it's refined already, you get the refined version of the cp160 kind. And vice versa.

It would be good if the level 10 crafting writ rewards stopped giving us CP 1-150 materials. I'm level 10 - why will I need lower level materials?
I can see the point of giving *higher* level materials if you're crafting at levels 9 or less as you might use them as you progress, but there's no point giving lower level when you've reached the maximum.

Maybe they should allow upgrading to a higher grade, a bit like the fragments are.
For instance 10 iron ingots to make 1 of the next and so forth, or 100 iron to make rubedite, could be way more useful that way.

If you are at Rank 10, then you may still need materials for your alts that have not yet reached level 50. So some lower stuff is wanted, but the CP10-150 ones are useless. I'd prefer that the system be reworked so that even a new account goes straight to the max gear when reaching Champion level.
