Guild Wars 2

Scribe should be a guild craft instead of an individuial crafting profession. Since scribe is based in the guild hall we should be able to level scribe as an entire guild like we are doing with all the other upgrades for the guild hall. Once scribe is built there should be guild ranks related to scribe like who can make the recipes for the guild. There are already ranks in the guild for the assembly que when scribes make recipes so, the foundation is set for scribe being a guild craft. I think that will fix most of the issues with scribe right now.

I agree that scribe should be something that is built up as an entire guild instead of individually. It is weird that it isn’t especially since scribe is guild oriented.

So, how my idea works is that instead of leveling scribe like the regular crafting professions you can add scribe leveling upgrades in the workshop. That way everyone in the guild can throw materials into the treasury to build it up. Once scribe is built people who have the scribe rank in the guild would be able to actually make the recipes at the scribe station.

Details aside, ‘scribe’ is a guild function, not a personal one. The guild helps fund r400 scribes, but the scribe can leave (or stop playing) and the guild ends up without the resource it’s paid for.

I don’t see why it can’t work like any of the other NPCs: as the guild levels up the craft, members with the appropriate permissions can use any unlocked recipes at the scribing station .
