Q:

Hello all! Having a blast with the game. I really like the crafting system (even if it is a bit of a chore to keep it on par with my character level due to fine materials drop rate), but recently I stumbled upon something that has me stumped: I discovered you can make boxes (or satchels) of a certain set of armor (from what I have seen it is every armor set in the game) so when you open them, you get the whole set out of it. I thought that was the coolest thing so far! However after some diggin’ in the interwebs, it seems that you need to discover the recipes via a mystic forge recipe instead of the normal way. If that is so, it is a bummer, as the materials required are insane at the levels the armor is usable. I doesn’t make any sense to me, but before I let it go (and craft every single piece individually) I wanted to know if someone can clarify some of the aspects about boxes of armor and mystic forge usage:

- Can you craft armor boxes with a crafting level below 400 (ie. with the appropriate level to craft every piece individually)?

- Is there any other way to discover/learn/buy the recipe other than involving stupidly expensive (from the point of view of the people actually needing the armor) items from Miyani?

- Does the forge need any particular crafting level to use or that depends entirely on the recipe? I don’t even know if at below 150 crafting level I should bother with MF at all…

I’m sorry for asking these basic questions, but every guide/post I read about the MF or armor sets assumes the user is trying to craft exotic thingamabobs, epic whathaveyou materials or legendary whatchacallits, so we ‘growing’ players can’t make an informed decision about what (and if) to use the mistyc forge for at all.

Thanks a bunch!

A:

The boxes aren’t worth it except for exotic sets. The tiny saving in materials for the lower end sets is nowhere near the cost of making the recipes. Even for exotics the value is debatable.

Through the mystic forge but just the Bottles of Elonian Wine will cost 1g 28s 0c and that is just to learn the recipe.
