Guild Wars 2

Anyone figured out what the bonus is yet? And whether it stacks with crafting boosters?

No idea! I looked on the hero tab and it specifically says “crafting” as the first step in Productive Downtime." Not pleased at all since I have numerous level 80 characters and crafting is a waste of my time, frankly. I could be running new content or the labyrinth for Halloween. Instead, I’m stuck at the crafting station and it still says 0% complete.

I don’t really get the point of this. I have all the crafting professions and they’re all maxed out with most all the recipes. How does this benefit me?

I guess if you take the new Scribe crafting it would be useful. Or if they update jewelry or cooking later.

Umm which bonus are we talking about?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Can I get the new scribe profession without claiming a guild hall?

Nope we cant. Sadly

It’s the Pact Mastery. The second tier.

Productive Downtime: Learn to be more efficient and gain bonus experience when crafting.

Ahh yes I thought so, sorry couldn’t double check as I am not in game right now. My first thought was it would help in getting exp for masteries by upping the exp from crafting. But now we have learned that once you are 80 you get no exp from crafting anymore so that can’t be it……if not an over sight it would have to be to help Scribe would be my final guess.

Yet I do remember in the POI the guy said that it should help with making legendaries somehow…..

I’m more interested in the vendors it opens. I think. Isn’t that the tier that opens new vendors? Or is that Tier 3?

I just went back and watched it:

At the 15 min mark he explains it. Pretty much you just get extra craft exp when crafting. So if you are yet to max out a craft it will help. For those of you with all crafts maxed out it will not help except I assume Scribe and if they raise any of the other crafts.

I don’t recall which but you can see here what they offer, well what the ones I have found so far offer:

Btw the first option in the list lets you use it on any map where you can earn those items for completing events and it will basically give you one of that item. Example go to Southsun and you will get a Karka Shell if that is the listed item. This can be handy for if you need a specific item and can’t be bothered to find an event to do.
