What is the Elite for crafters in the update?

[Absynthia]

<p>I thought that I read that there would be an elite additon for crafters, running around on test I am not seeing anything elite?</p><p>Is it a new Elite researcher? or recepies? Sounds exciting, just not sure where to look.</p><p>Would be fun to have to go search for a super special researcher somewhere <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>No idea. I've looked where the Apprentices are and no new apprentice. I've looked on my apprentices for new recipes, nothing. The only thing I can figure is either it's not in yet or there are some requirements not being met for the recipes to show up.</p>

<p>LoL give Omougi some time, he said he's working on it<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  You must remember that crafting dev have it a lot harder than the adv devs. He has to consider how what he does will affect a level 1 crafter all the way through to 92. He is always forging new ground.</p><p>He can't just cut and paste old stuff and rename it.</p>

if you get any news can you post it here? i would like to know the item quality (relative to new raid drops) and the rare required for the elite recipes. colossals are dropping to 500plat on AB. would love to know how many are used per elite combine, or whether a new rare is coming. any info appreciated. my efforts to find any info have failed so far.

<p>Omougi is amazing and working super hard for crafters! I am not rushing *I understand the process very well indeed* I was just wondering if  elite meant</p><p>1) An Elite tradeskill Apprentice, simular to the Elite Mercs ( Like the billy doll)</p><p>or</p><p>2)Elite recepies in a special book that we would possibly have to earn or be Grandmastered with our apprentices</p><p>or</p><p>3) Something completely different!</p><p>It is a very exciting time for tradeskillers!</p>
