Storage and Rare mats

I’d like to see a storage panel for rare mats, like there are for common and fine. Without it, there are 40 different items that can quickly overwhelm your storage. Even buying a new storage pane isn’t enough, they only hold 30 items.

Sending through mail bug

Having an issue trying to mail something to a friend. He mailed me a rare inscription he made, so I could make him a pistol. I made it, mailed it back to him. I clicked on his name in chat, chose send mail, attached the item, hit send. He didn’t get it, I find out an hour later when he asked me about it. I figured that I clicked on the wrong name, maybe. SO, I made another one. At this time, he was on his mesmer, I sent it to him, using the same right-click-on-his-name method, at the same instant he switched to his engineer, who the pistol was destined for. Nothing. So now, I figured that there was something wrong with that, the message was sent at the exact wrong time. SO, I made a THIRD one. Made sure he was on his engineer, in town, not moving, with his fingers and toes crossed. Mailed it, this time to the character name (engineer), NOTHING.

Follow-up: He’s also doesn’t receive plain (no items) mail from me or other guildies who tried.

I got a bunch of good stuff from the Mad King Chests, opened about 17 I believe. Mad Moon Recipe, 3 different shoulders, tonics. With all the qq going on, I feel like someone should do something OTHER than whine and castigate Anet for being evil moneygrubbers.

22 Chests opened, nothing unique

I opened about 50 and got 8 skins. You must be doing it wrong.

Yes it is entirely possible to craft them after the halloween (the time frame you want them is in the halloween, but whatever), except they require lodestones. Lodestones that any person will most likely dedicate towards his legendary instead of his festive weapon skin. I don’t understand why they made the halloween skins use materials that are already in high demand for legendary weapons…

That’s the choice you make. I would expect that every variant of lodestone e has some high-level use, so any way you look at it, there’s going to be some level of “sacrifice” to be made.

Question to the people who beta-tested this proffession:

I only played Necro in the last BWE, but I didn’t bother with traits, so I can’t answer.

CS farming?

It could mean moving between Penitent Waypoint, Shelter’s Gate Waypoint and Jofast’s Waypoint, to do the quickly-repeating events for karma and drops, or it could mean farming the water south of Anchorage Waypoint for the tier 6 crafting materials that are needed for crafting legendaries.

I’m currently a lvl 78 necro. They are all available except for the golem.

Items From Crafting Should be a bit Stronger to Compete with Drops

Crafted items are already stronger than purchased or looted items of the same level. Significantly, in fact. About 20% more damage or defense at the same levels.

Necromancer Minion Issues.

A few things I’ve noticed with minions

  • Minions don’t go underwater with you so you have to keep casting them. They should just go into the water and then back out again.

When you go under water you get a new set of slot skills. If you don’t have them set as the minions, they’ll die. Next time you go under, set your slot skills for the minions you want (I have more while under than out of water) and they’ll jump right in with you. Not the golem, though.

I agree that having the flesh golem stand around is annoying, but that’s about the only complaint that I agree or sympathize with. Minions aren’t animals like a ranger’s pet, they’re an animated collection of dead material. Why would they be smart beyond the ability to respond to basic ideas beyond “charge” or “blind” etc? Oh, I love the idea of un-summoning and an amphibious flesh golem. otherwise I think necro as it is is great, and completely playable if you know what you’re doing.

When you go underwater, you get a fresh set of slot skills. You need to put the minion skills that you want in the slots while you’re underwater. If your terrestrial minion skills aren’t in your underwater slots, they go boom when you get wet.

I don’t know what you all are talking about. My main is a lvl 71 necro, and I’ve been able to solo nearly the entire game this far. I use an axe/dagger and staff, and just roll. I don’t pvp, so I can’t comment on that, and they’re slightly under powered for dungeons (though their utility as condition eaters and aoe healing, plus snares and blind is good for the benefit of the team)

The “log out and back in for ore” sounds like an exploit to me. Can an Anet employee comment on that specifically?

Rare Crafted Objects Don't Change Appearance Between Tiers?

Why disapointing? You only craft for the stats, the looks you can copy with trans stones. Or did you forgot about those?

Crafting is supposed to be for the looks. The stats come off the random items you find in the world.

Not true. Crafted armor and weapons have around 20% higher stats than the purchased or looted counterparts.

Why I think that crafting is broken

Crafting now is more difficult than it was in BWE 2 and 3. During those weekends, masterwork inscriptions/insignia required 5 fine mats, instead of the current 8. Also, there were no Rare versions until after BWEs were done. I think that it was necessary to make it harder than it was in beta. Just by completing areas and salvaging, etc, I was able to go to the crafter at the end of the weekends and get through tier 2 (iron/wool) without any need for buying additional items. Having said that, I’m finding myself barely able to keep up the number of fine mats needed for level progression (and my crafting level is seriously lagging). The only advice I can give for finding them is to kill animals, etc, which is where most of those items can easily be found. Harpies and bats for blood, wolves/wargs/etc for claws/fangs, fish and krait for scales, spiders/grubs for poison sacs, skritt for bones, centaurs and ogres for totems, ghosts for dust. That’s my strategy, you may have other ways of going about it.

Cooking and eggs

I get lots of butter from bags that drop (Tiny Bag of Blah Blah Blah, etc), and eggs come from the same things that you get poultry meat from: raptors especially.
