Artisans screwed upFollow

Everybody has been having the same problem.I have heard that these are suppose to be fixxed for game release. But won't be fixxed in beta since beta ends tonight at midnight EST. Which sucks since I was hoping they'd keep it running till Sunday. Oh well kiss my characters good-bye and start all over again.

One final thought on interdependencies. Remember, if *you* need something a different tradeskill makes, then *they* need something YOU can make. Trade for it. :)

What would really make this work is if the automated trading system could be setup to allow trades for other than coin. In other words, post your 'Pommels' for sale for 'Blades' on an x for y basis. I am not in the beta, so forgive me if this is how it works already.

They actually had this sort of interdependency crafting in the Luclin module. You could not make the Beastlord crafted weapons unless you acquired components made by three or four different crafting professions.

I am actually looking forward to this way of working. When I made my Beastlord Claws, I was contacting all sorts of folks looking for someone that could do the crafting I needed; I actually had the components, just needed someone to craft them for me. Some did it for free; some charged plat. But, it was fun. A real Quest. And when the Claws were finally made, that was a moment!

So, maybe it will be different. But heck, I am bored with the same-old same-old. Let's move on and do something different together.

See You In-Country

if you wouldve read what I said ;p

It is NOT possible AT ALL to create an Iron Pommel, or an Iron Arrowhead.
The recipes for those are non-existent.
The NPC used to sell em, but now not evne that anymore.

That means my job is completely useless at it stands right now, cause for eveyr weapon I make I need to make either a Iron Pommel (or Carbonite Pommel) or an Iron/Carbonite Shod.

There are NO recipes for those (and yes I even have all the "rare" outfitter and weaponsmith books upto lvl25).

I reported this as a bug like god knows how many times.
But at least the NPC was selling em so I didnt care much. But now ofcourse I do ;p



And about that story of higher lvl artisan zone, I doubt that.

Cause you can also leave an artisan zone. It would end up in everyone going to the same Artisan zone. I doubt SOE wouldve done that ;p


Neither did they made the promise of the lower quality items only for beta.They have it under the Artisan info on their official site. So they intended it for the full release of the game.

I would not worry for a second about critical crafting items not being available. If Sony did anything with EQ1, it was update it constantly; both Client side updates, and the infamous 'silent' Server side updates. For me, I am going to be looking at the first few months of EQ2 as an extended Beta which, at the end, I get to keep my characters. :)

Those who want a really finished product should probably join EQ2 in 3 months or so. Heck, play WoW until then. WoW should be good for 3 months of play, till it gets dead-dog boring.

hey when I found thing that are wrong, and 2 months later that they're still wrong. Thats when I start *********

Dunno if they added it the last day. Didnt play the last 2 days anymore so. Could be... hopefully... cause it was a serious ***** :)

And for all those stupid ***** that downgraded me: get a life
feel free to downgrade this post as well, seems like you all got nothing better to do sometimes.
