Draznar's Crafting Links, Guide, and FAQ

[draconis-halberd7]

Very good guide you have put together. One thing that I have loved about SWG is the crafting. Whats great is that this seems to be a little better since its a tad more intuitive and easier to make the basic stuff. I especially like the ability to make what I would call "exceptional items" and to give them specific names like how Bilbo had Sting and Gandalf had Glamdring. It is also interesting to see how the various profession interact with the crafter's Class. My main is going to be a Human Captain with the Scholar trio and I'm curious to see how they will function together. I'd be in there right now doing just that but I'm still downloading the patch from hell (started Wednesday or Thursday night, I cant remember). I cant wait to try it out!

Thank you, thank you for all this fabulous information. I'd kiss you if I could!!!

A lot of the links pointing to the forums are being slammed with the redirects.... So they aren't linking correctly.

Most of the links are from the old beta forums. Updating as I have time and they become available.

[Draznar]

Major update based on replies here and other sources. I have a few more quest to add, but ran out of time right now... More to come.

You've linked to the Scholar recipes under the Tailoring section.

You linked to the Scholar recipes under the Tailoring section.

Also, is it documented anywhere what the critical success trophies are for the first 2 tiers? I've seen lists of named drops for Tier 3-5 but not the standard trophies for Tier 1 and 2. Just wondering.

[kvinna]

From the tailoring section:

Expert: The Thickest of Skins Part 1

* Receive from any Novice Tailor.
* Talk to Ranger Erandit in Esteldin, North Downs (Need ;loc).

Firstly, it is The Thickest of Skins Part II. Secondly, the location of Erandit is 9.5S, 42.1W.

Maybe a new section to add would be which NPC's sell what things.

It use to be so easy, provisioner sold everything , now everything is split up between provisioner, trainer, supplier, grocer, tavern keeps, etc.

So maybe add what each of those NPC's sell for crafting.

What happened to the list of crit drops? (ie Broken Neekerbreaker Horns, Diminutive Wight Treasures, etc).

Dang, now to break out the notepad again. Anyone have a list for me to steal????

[Draznar]

Updated with new quest info and a few fixes...

[Malakas]

Rolling for Resources: When in a fellowship, the entire fellowship is given a chance to roll on harvested items. Only the harvesting crafter, should be able to "loot" the items harvested.

This point has caused a lot of controversy in World of Warcraft, particularly with repest to the Pristine Hide of the beast. This is is a very rare item that is obtained by skinning The Beast, a monster found deep in an instance, somewhere you're not going to get to on your own. Many skinners feel that only the skinners in the party should be entitled to roll on the items since it cannot be obtained without a high level of skinning combined with magic items (it needs skinning 315 which was quite high when the skill cap was 300 :-). Many other people (including me) believe that the whole party should be entitled to roll on the item since the skinner would not have been able to make it that far and kill the beast without the help of the party.

There is no right answer to this, of course, since loot rules are (or at least "should be") decided by the group at the start of the run. Each group might have a different ruling. What is important is that the rules be communicated before the run so that someone who disagrees has the option to leave the group.

I suggest a note be made next to this item in the FAQ saying something like "This rule, like all loot distribution rules, should be decided by a group before a run starts, otherwise there will be trouble".

I have a question about crafting :P

Ok say if you become a journeyman in Making armor. In order to make armor you need to get broiled hides. In order to get broiled Hides you need a forester.

So if you become a forester to get broiled hides does it Clear your Journeyman state or does it just clear the xp gained towards the next teir?

I dont know if this has been asked before but I looked around and havent seen it sorry if its a repost :P

I saw Action House in Bree near Jail and south-eastern Gate. It is no longer inside Town-Hall.

6.4 Jeweller

Crafting Locations: Study

Jewellers do their crafting at a Workbench, not a Study.

[Adric_the_Red]

Not sure if this has been posted, because for some reason, I can't see anything past the second page of this thread. But since it hasn't been updated, I'm guessing you still need the info.

7.2 Jeweller Quests

Journeyman:

The quest is The Call of Precious Things: Part I
You get the quest from any(?) Novice Jeweller trainer.
Talk to Kobbi Stonestar at the Forsaken Inn, in the Lone Lands (he's inside the Inn)
Reward: Craft Jeweller Complete Proficiency Tier 1


I'll post higher tiers when I get to them, unless others provide the info first.

Well first of all they're boiled, not broiled, hides...

Anyway, if you switch Vocations, you will lose all progress in any Profession from your old Vocation that isn't in the new one. So if you switch from Armorer (Prospector/Metalsmith/Tailor) to Woodsman (Farmer/Forester/Woodworker) in order to be able to boil hides, you'd lose all your progress in all 3 of your old Professions. But if you switched from Armorer to Explorer (Tailor/Forester/Prospector) you'd keep your progress in Tailor and Prospector, and only lose your Metalsmith progress while gaining the Forester profession needed to boil hides. Though if you're wanting to make heavy armor, losing your Metalsmith progress is probably not a good thing.
