Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think this is in game. It would be nice if crafters could make elite skins that are account bound just for those who took the time to hit 400. And maybe a few skins/gear that isn’t account bound. I say AB gear because I think it should be a reward fro being a master crafter, not a money sink or more skins for others who haven’t worked at this. The same could be done for cooking and all the crafts. Ie cooking could have your name on top tier foods like trays and even newly introduced recipes.
To have this you could make it so they were items you had to get from karma, or do a quest for. Or simply the quests usually unlock a karma merchant so they could be sold there. It could be in tiers so that you could get the items over time it might look like:
Skill50-Level 10 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill100-Level 20 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill150-Level 30 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill200-Level 40 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill250-Level 50 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill300-Level 60 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill350-Level 70 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
Skill400-Level 80 Karma merchant item X, you need X amount of these.
And with said materials you could make a set, possibly an armor set and weapon set. Cooks could make funny food skins, others could make skins relevant to their profession. The skins of course should be at very least exotic with exotic stats so that they are worth making. You could make these account bound, and possibly also add non account bound skins for these crafters to create as well.
I think crafters would like to be rewarded for their time and money put into what they do. Granted some crafts are easier than others but they all deserve something they can achieve that is not some kind of end game journey that takes a year (Legendarys). I’d personally love to see my name on my items from jeweler and my trays from cooking. And I would love to accomplish making my own gear skin using my professions I choose.
