Guild Wars 2

Good Afternoon All,

I think most of us feel like our Home District feel unpolished and incomplete. Anet has taken baby steps to make changes to our Home District; e.g. different npcs, gathering nodes based on metas. I’ve always thought that we should be able to craft in our home instance, so while harvesting my nodes giggity I was thinking on how this could be done at a reasonable price.

I like what Anet has done with the new Grandmaster traits where you can either buy them or explore to unlock them. I think they could do the same with crafting table recipes.

I’m thinking of two ways you could create the crafting tables.

Method 1 – Simple Construction, combine all items in MF:
Armorsmith – Recipe, Gift of Metal, 100 Ori Ingots, 100 Bolts of Gossamer Weaponsmith – Recipe, Gift of Metal, 100 Ori Ingots, 100 Ancient Wood Planks

Method 2 – Promotion (e.g. spinal backpack) Armorsmithing
Level 1 – Create crafting lv. 75 items – Recipe + Copper Ingots + Jute Bolts
Level 2 – Level 1 item + Iron Ingots + Wool Bolts
Level 3 – Level 2…..

I know this idea isn’t completely fleshed out, but I’m just day dreaming at work and wondered if anyone had similar ideas.

Cheers

yeah man, there’s a ton of stuff it would be cool to have in a home instance. its kind of amazing how generic and crappy our home instances are, when you think about it. imagine if our achievements, instead of a point tally, were represented by trophies and decorations in our home? it would be glorious.

My guess is we will get more stuff in the way of this when we get player housing and guild halls. I just wish I had been able to get the crystal and watchwork nodes when they were available. Candy corn is nice, but nowhere near as helpful as celestial and zealots gear.

They want to pull players into community areas whenever possible. Private areas for services are available, but with a gem cost for tickets that keeps their overall usage to a minimum.
