By the way, I loved the crafting epic (except the library in maj’dul part which I did before you patched it a day or two afterwards. I died 9 or so times in there and spent hours ninjaing around for 30 minutes at a time just to die while trying to find the last update. God, I hated that place so much).

Making all the crafters need others to help them finish their quest and thereby establishing connections with other crafters was a brilliant move that almost made me forget the seething fury I felt when we lost cross-class reliancy way way back during LU18 or some such. Crafting these days is a bit of a solo adventure, which saddens me somewhat, so I was glad to finally see something knitting the community a little more together instead of making us more and more self-reliant. Similarly, I like how there are also the occasional item that has to be made through the comission system, helping form relations between adventurers and crafters as well. There’s not been much of those since the pre-DoF days when ebon armor was uber and rubicite was godlike (ps: I’m still waiting for a recipe book for my Laensteel Powder. It’s been sitting in my bank vault in Nettleville since mid 2005)

I’m hoping we will start to see more craftables that will be useful for more than just the adventurers that are currently levelling up and would otherwise ditch the item as soon as they level x9 in a tier. That, and things to encourage crafters to work together (*cough*crafting’raids’*cough*) as well as useful stuff for even those at levelcap.

My wishlist aside, thanks for your continued efforts towards improving crafting and congrats on the new visa

Oh, one more thing. I filed a /feedback with it a long time ago, but playerissued work orders. Kinda like a reverse broker thing where you post stuff you want (made) as well as price you’re offering (which would be taken by the work order merchant until the order was completed or cancelled). Having the ability to see all the spells and items people wanted crafted would be something both my crafters would love as well as the adventurers of mine who would be comissioning things nonstop. Please, pretty please with sugar on top? I’ll give you my soul.

Thanks again, and another yay for crafting updates

Got kicked out due to no extension. *cries*

Anyway, the reason I love it is because you give it a more human feel to the whole development.

Can’t wait to see more of your posts.

Here is to hoping that your desk is never one of the empty ones!

((Still hoping for a return of the harvesting writs, though all the REAL crafters in my guild would sacrifice alts for you in a heartbeat!))

Thank you & keep having fun

I hope it’s not as iffy as you make it sound, Dom. You’ve brought us crafters so much joy since you arrived!

I am so thrilled that your visa has been extended for another year. If there was ever a time where it was necessary, this is it! I am a BIG fan of the tradskill professions and since you have taken over it has only gotten better. Well, not better as much as AMAZING!

With another year of these incredible updates to look forward to, I am positive that I will still be here when you announce the extension of your visa for yet another year!

While your reading this, how about making some changes for the Provisioner’s. I would love to see some advanced type potions that would give bonuses like speed increase, a small EXP bonus (like 10-15% for 30min) or other things that would make them more useful and allow them to use rares. In any case, keep up the great work!

Thanks,
Taiven
