So I am one of those people who leveled Chef. I have to say bravo, (not trolling here I loved it!) because it used all the mats I could find in the world all the way beck to the beginning in many cases which gave me the ability to not farm as much. It’s awesome being able to do that on a crafting discipline, less time gathering and more time discovering is always more fun imo.
The thing I’d like to ask your teams to consider doing is revamping your current system in the other disciplines. You see there are some problems making them less then enjoyable.
Combining mats to make better mats. Yes yes I know people will tell me but but you can use the mforge for….blah. I mean simple things like combining leather scraps to make better scraps. Why would anyone combine their almost impossible to fill 250 count of an older leather type to make 10-12 newer leathers? That’s a tad crazy, how about combining 5 older leathers with a material say from the lw vendor to make the next step up? Jewelers do that all the time.
and it helped. Why can’t there be an alchemical way of doing the same thing with Ore?
The other thing that bothers me about craftin in the other “lesser” disciplines (lesser then chef hehe) is that there’s hardly any diversity in the items used in the creation process. Chef had items one could purchase with karma scattered all across Tyria, it was nice to have mats I didn’t have to farm, and it gave me recipes that kept the numbers scaling. This isn’t available to the other disciplines and it shows. Would love for something to be done to make it easier to craft in these other ones.
It would be nice to be able to buy some mats instead of farm them. Surely someone other then players have learned to gather.
