Simple Crafting Stations Idea. . .

[The_Green_Dragon]

<b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I'm a Alchemist and the simple crafting stations are worthless. I was told that they used to be worth using. So I was thinking that the Developers could make it to where we could at least craft are greyed out and green recipes from the simple crafting stations as to still make buying the exclusive crafting station still worth the coin & SP, faction, etc, etc. . .</span></b>

<p>The Simple Crafting Station is pretty much kept in game for decoration purpose now.</p><p>Back when you can make App II, App III, and App IV they had crafting stations that can make items up to that level. With the removal of App II and App III they removed all the crafting stations except for Exquisite but some people wanted them for decoration so they added the Simple Crafting Stations back in.</p>

The simple work bench is good for tinkering, since you don't need to make pristine items.
