CraftingFollow

Hey there,

I've used this site enough for info I'd thought I'd add something to it that might prove fruitful for us. I craft and paying for supplies can get hefty and I think all crafters can agree, but the primary point is making sure we can sell or use what we craft. I craft woodworking atm and have rank2 in it. If you have a guide and know reciepes for items you want if your willing to take a chance and save some gil send me or other players that may post here supplies and I'll be more than happy to send you back what I make. Oh, an example of how much you could save doing this is EX: material cost for simple bed around 2500, cost of buying one made around 4000 (but I'm not high enough to make beds yet :(. I hope other crafters post here so we can all benefit from them (espeically when I get high enough to craft ninja tools :) Thanks and I hope others read this.

Kiyoka atm 42thf/23nin (yes I know thats not possible just thought I'd put the subs current lvl there anyhow m(=^.^=)m

i have Lvl 9 woodworking lol i can make bone arrows if you want. or workbenches, etc. lower lever stuff.

theres the recipe list for all the items on the side there.

what lvl is your woodworking kiyo?

I'm a crafting fiend, I rarely do anything BUT craft/fish. And I enjoy helping folks out. I've had to do a bit of revision on my rules as I don't think people TRULY understand how much work it is to be a crafter and are more than willing to take advantage. So...follow these few rules and I'm there to help.

1) Do your OWN research. Yes I've done every craft, NO I don't know every recipe. Nor do I know the cap for every recipe, or if I can actually make it. Nor do I know if I can HQ it. If that information is pertinent...YOU must figure it out. All I'M going to do is combine what you give me.

2) Patience is a virtue. If I'm available AND willing, I will do the combine. If I'm not both, it won't do you any good to keep asking. It will actually hinder your cause. If you annoy me, I will not craft anything for you. By available I mean in a town, with an AH, with nothing else I need to do. By willing I mean, in a town, with an AH, with nothing else I WANT to do.

3) Your supplies, your risk. I will accept nothing but the exact supplies necessary. I will not accept cash in lieu of ingredients, I will not accept multiples of one ingredient in lieu of the correct ingredients. I will not shop for YOUR goods. You will send me the proper supplies including crystals, and I will send you the finished item(s). If I get a HQ, you get a HQ. If I fail, you get any remaining ingredients.

4) In general: It's cheaper to buy an item than to craft it. Before you ask me (or any other crafter) to make you an item, make sure you check the AH first. Then check to be sure it isn't sold on a vendor. As for HQs...multiply the cost of the ingredients by about 10, THEN you know how much it costs to HQ it.

Anyway, those seem like strict rules and all, but believe me, people CONTINUOUSLY attempt to take advantage of me, and I won't put up with it anymore.

Crafts in sig =)

My crafts are in my sig, but Grim is right, it typcially is cheaper to buy stuff on the AH (and takes less of my time).

I think a good idea would be to get together a Crafting linkshell.

I assure you there are some out there, but we are not in one, or we would not be posting this, so we can make our own.

My craft skills, errr, suck nutz ATM, but they are improving and I have no problems with sharing materials, my LS does it all the time.

I happen to have an LS lying around (My old one which I left due to immature flirting). We cannot name it anything cool, but it would save 8k. Just a thought.

I think the LS is a good idea. I am working on cooking and clothcraft simultaneously so they are going a little slower then usual but I just couldn't decide which I liked more. Anyway, I haven't gotten too far yet but my levels are in my sig.

Yo Trizz,

Winged boots are around 89 if I remember correctly. So its possible. Ive had many ask to do it for them when I get there. The funny thing is, they always say" cool, when you get to 89 can you make me a winged boots+1?") That just cracks me up everytime, like I can control HQ whenever I want. Id be happy to do what I can, just send a tell.

Yes there is a crafting LS called HighQuality, and I am the shell holder =)

Many folks are like Tweed though, they just don't want multiple pearls and so only equip HQ when they have a question and leave immediately after. Which means only 1-2 people are ever on the pearl. A crafting LS is a nice idea, but it just doesn't work out so good in practice. Not many full-time crafters so it's doomed to be mostly empty most of the time much to my chagrin.

I would cry if that happened too.. Its bad enough when I need to make a friend liz gear or something for a new character and I get a critical failure..lol.. And im like WTF, thats like lvl 15 craft or so to make. When I was doing coeurl Cesti,(lvl 70 I think) I had 3 ubers for Torama cesti and I was like 2 lvls below the item. go figure.

I bought it at the alchemy guild and a couple stacks from AH. But I only did mercury for 2 levels so I didn't mind wasting the money.

I won't advise trying to fish em up. Do whatever it is you do to make good money, and buy the fish. Fishing em up would take forever and only be "worth it" if you could fish up enough to equal the amount of money you'd make otherwise.

I did deodorizer til 10, mercury til 12..realized that was a REAL pain...and moved on to echo drops hehe. May have lost a bit more money starting early...but those materials were MUCH easier to come by hehe.
