What about Enchanting...Follow

#1 Jan 09 2009 at 5:44 AM Rating: Default
Hello there, i was wondering, since JC has daily quests so JC can get a kind of currency so they can buy some nice stuff liike Dragon Eye and craft awesom rings, plus can have 3 special gems (like the +41 sta) and so on... what about enchanting?

Do Enchanting have any daily? When will be the day so we can enchant Necklace too?


Anyone have any information?


Thank you.

Your currency is dream shards, and you use them to purchase enchanting formulas. Your "special" is the ability to enchant your own rings.

IMO, the professions seems very balanced with this xpac.

I am not saying what enchanting does sucks. I am just trying to see why the enchanting craft does have some kind of Daily so we can spend some time questing in what we do best... enchant. I am thinking on, like a quest were you need to help a noble to get ready his gear for the next torunament, and so he ask your service as enchater. Whatever. But still, i would like to have daily for enchanters.


Another thing, why we have to use our own mats to buy scroll? Why JC do daily to get currency? do they spend also mats to finish those quest so they can have currency to buy their recipes?


Anyway, i like enchanting, but few enchanting dailys won't hurt WoW community and wouldn't be OP imo.

I think if you took a poll of JC'ers about their daily quest, the consensus would be that it's a whole lot of fail.

I'm glad I'm not required to do a quest to advance my profession. And I'm glad that the materials needed by enchanting can be obtained anywhere anytime. Dragon Eyes are only from the JC quest or through LOTS of gold on the AH. So you are severely limited in how many recipes you can obtain.

I also don't mind going to a scriptor to get my scrolls. Promoting more intra-profession cooperation is a good thing IMO. Well, that and I have a scriptor alt who gets me all the scrolls I need :). It's the same (if more frequent) than getting a rod from a BS when you need an upgrade. Tailors and LW also use each other's mats and products on occasion.

I understand some folks like daily quests. Even I like daily quests, to a certain extent. But picking mustard grass or crystalsong carrots got tedius many many days ago. I couldn't quit stealing puppies or pimping sea lions soon enough.

So to me, the grass is definately NOT greener on the JC side of the fence. We got it good!

Sorry...had to do it :P

More to the point, the only primary profession right now that has a daily is jewelcrafting. Engineers, blacksmiths, tailors, leatherworkers, enchanters, alchemists, scribes, miners, skinners, and herbalists have no daily quest associated with their primary profession(s). While in some ways it would be neat, it's also a tedious pain in the *** to feel compelled to do a quest every day just for the sake of staying on top of your profession.

Even the cooking dailies get real old, real fast. The only reason I do them now is to keep the Northern Spices coming in so that it doesn't cost me a fortune to keep decent food on hand for raids.

If you want to level enchanting you can run heroic after heroic and DE everything that drops, you can do all the quests available (even after you hit L80) and DE the rewards, you can go to the AH and find crafted BS blues selling for 10 to 15g and DE them for shards. You can also use the shards to purchase formulas and not be limited in the number of recipes you buy each day.

If you want to level JC after reaching 430ish you need the tokens from the daily. One token each day. Period. If you want to purchase designs you need three to six tokens. One token each day. Period.

The dailies require you to go out and find a certain type of MoB and kill them until they drop your quest item. The closest I know of is the daily requiring revenants. You wind up traveling all over Northrend for the different dailies - it's not like the cooking daily where the furthest you go is below Dalaran to get carrots.

Yes, it was fun at first. It got old fast - now I have to make sure I set aside enough time to do the daily on raid nights or fall behind in my JC. It does give me 25 rep with the Kirin Tor though!

The upside is that there are enough designs that until everyone gets all of them there is a chance you will buy one that not many others have bought and will get a week or so of being able to make some money. But that's touch and go so you cannot count on it.

Put me on the other side in that poll. I'm a JC, and I love my JC daily. Easy, quick gold. Throttles the number of JCs with the cuts I'm selling. Uses up my crap gems. Best quest ever.

I love the JC daily, but what I think actodd was referring to the token method of buying recipes, which I too loathe. I'm writing it off as Blizzard trying a new method of obtaining crafting patterns, but I really do hope its not one that they use again. There are simply too many JC patterns available for those of us who enjoy having mastered our professions to obtain in any reasonable span of time. I took up JC so I could provide a service to my guild, but the fact that I simply CANNOT obtain recipes at more than a snail's pace infuriates me.

I do like that they removed the whole random world drop nonsense though. That was just bad design, in my opinion.

I think that compared to the alternative, the new method has its merits. Previously, it was BoE patterns that were sold on auction for rather high prices and rep grinds from one faction or another. Now, you've still got the potential need for rep grinds, but you aren't spending gold as fast as you can make it for patterns. This method also reduces the number of low level JC alts (referring to class level) competing with JC mains for customers. They either go without the patterns, or they have to buy YOUR Dragon's Eyes to get them. It's a win-win for you.
