Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest that the duration on the Sharpening Stone Station be increased from 5 minutes to an hour duration.

The amount of materials to craft the item, and the fact that all the materials used must be made by one character and not a guild or a group of players makes the item very selfless, however the cost of materials is just too great for it to only last on the ground for 5 minutes.

I’ve yet to see anyone use the item because of this.

hmmm, interesting suggestion. increasing it to 1 hour would effectively double how many people make use of it (refresh your oil just before it ends = 2 hours of it). so instead of 147 players being required to make it economical, you would only need 74.
better to have each crafting make 5. or require 1/5 as many mats.
