Tradeskill rewards - bugs and feedback

Domino · 10-16-2015, 01:36 AM

Currently (at start of beta) doing the tradeskill questline, not including repeatable quests, leaves you at amiable Deepforge Founders faction and with 46 coins in your pocket. Each repeatable quest adds another 2000 faction and a coin, meaning you can get to ally (40000) in about 2 more weeks. You can also purchase 2 blank runes per week, which is the intended rate for those.

Does this seem too fast? Too slow?

Other comments about phat lewtz and any type of reward you get from the tradeskill content?

Leave your thoughts here - ideally with details such as exact names of items or quests referenced!

FriggaWitch · 10-21-2015, 02:28 PM

Well, 2 weeks seems reasonable I don't really rush towards the end of anything really there's so much to see along the way. By coins are you referring to the Far Seas Tokens? I'll leave more info when I can actually have a /beta copy that works on Thursday but from what I've completed so far the rewards seem fine.

Mermut · 10-21-2015, 04:09 PM

New tradeskill currency for the new expac.

FriggaWitch · 10-21-2015, 11:43 PM

Yeah that's real thrilling having yet another currency glad they are no FS tokens at least. I was able to get pretty far into the TS QL at lvl 67 bein sneaky since me beta buffer only got me that far so it was a good test. I haven't found anything all that thrilling. One thing I still don't understand about the TS beta reward is why do you have to complete the whole TS QL to get it? Why isn't it given out based on the number of actual beta /bugs or /feedback that are provided. Anyone can just rush through and finish quests so whats the point?

Domino · 10-22-2015, 12:07 AM

Anyone can also submit hundreds of useless bugs or copy/paste valid bugs other people have posted on the forums, but that way actually makes it way harder for us to identify the real bugs. No method will be perfect, but using the questline seems as good as any other and at least will not encourage "junk" bug reports and feedback. Smile

FriggaWitch · 10-22-2015, 12:41 AM

Well yeah I guess that's a true statement I don't know what I was thinking when I said that! I am old enough to know better than that. lol

10-22-2015, 01:32 AM

Even given that I'm stopping to write up notes about the quests, I feel that the tradeskill timeline is progressing at a good pace. I have to keep reminding myself to use Track Harvestables. And try to avoid picking up old zone shinies when I have been harvesting!

Xianthia · 10-22-2015, 06:23 AM

Guessing this goes here Smile

Censer is wonderful!

Blessing of Arcanna'se is not happening for me. I have tried both adventure censer and tradeskill.

Equipped, from hotbar, from inventory, nothing seems to happen for me on the Blessing.

10-22-2015, 03:38 PM

So, can we advance the tradeskill questline without access to the heroic instances that (so far) two of the quests want me to do?
(oh and the third book I can't find)

Xianthia · 10-23-2015, 07:25 AM

Not sure which area to put this under, maybe Zones/Population.. In any case, there are no bushes that I've seen to harvest.

The pony has brought back some items that seem to be a yield of a bush node, but I've not found any bushes yet that I could harvest.

10-23-2015, 03:28 PM

Yes you can if you find the third book Wink

Which I found last night! ( the signature questline part anyway)

10-23-2015, 04:16 PM

Finished the questline today. The reward for a priest was was a tower shield though it displays as a censer.
I think it should take more rares to make the censer we create at the end of the sig line Wink

It is a pretty impressive item for only two rares!

10-24-2015, 01:52 AM

Finished the quest line today and received the choice of a symbol censer, Tranquil Censer of Confinement, or a tower shield censer, Dedicated Censer of Confinement, both for the secondary slot. I'm assuming the dedicated censer is either bugged in appearance/name (it looks like a censer in the preview window) or it shouldn't be listed as type: tower shield with protection. (Priests and scouts can't equip tower shields can they?)

I'm actually a little disappointed that the reward is for the secondary slot only. As a raiding melee priest (mystic) I don't equip a 1H weapon and would most likely not equip the relic. Any way to give us the opportunity to equip it in ranged as well? Or is that too weird for a censer?

Lodrelhai · 10-24-2015, 09:37 AM

I think the scout weapon version being a secondary 1hc is a little weird. It makes sense for a censer, but I think only beastlords actually use crushing weapons? And I doubt any scout in their right mind is going to carry the tower shield version.

Lucus · 10-24-2015, 11:01 AM

pretty sure some censers ingame are equippable in secondary and ranged.

failing that they could make all variants of them like the Dark Fury Sword of Anuk & Dark Fury Halberd of Anuk where you can exchange them by examining them to swap between 1h and 2h versions or 1h and ranged.

Akina_Storms · 10-24-2015, 04:34 PM

i finished the time line, but ended with only 16 coin of the grand artificer...
or was-it 14... i've done some dailies when i saw the count...

10-25-2015, 05:08 AM

Is there any chance of making the re-use timer for the fuel merchant from the relic have a shorter re-use time? 12 hours seems a bit much. but thats just me.

10-25-2015, 06:06 AM

During the quest "Researching a Solution", you get two recipes. In the recipe book, the first is listed as "Censer of Containment".

Mousing over it in the recipe book window's pop-up tells me that it comes from the recipe book "Recipe for a Censer of Containment". If I right-click and examine the recipe, it still says "Censer of Containment".

However, if I right click the Product icon to view the finished item, it's called "Censer of Confinement". That probably s/b "Containment" also.

What if the purpose is NOT for these to normally be used in adventuring, but rather to give the intrepid artisan a little protection from exploding recipes, or while harvesting aggressive wildlife?

Elowith · 10-25-2015, 02:18 PM

Did the tradeskill line on a levelled adventurer, but not one who had started the new adventuring questline. Got only the tradeskill reward, and am wondering if you then later get the combined one? Is there some set point that that would be awarded or is that not taken into consideration?

10-25-2015, 04:37 PM

I got thru the whole tradeskill timeline on one char. I am wondering if they will change the ts reward? My dirge only had a choice of a 2h or a shield. Neither of which a dirge will use.....

Domino · 10-25-2015, 11:13 PM

None of the tradeskill signature quest rewards are 2h. Your dirge would presumably want to use the "Embellished Censer of Confinement" which is 1h crushing damage.

Domino · 10-25-2015, 11:19 PM

You receive both, regardless of your tradeskill level. You craft the artisan version, and then the signature quest rewards you with the adventure stats version when you do the final return to Ethan.

10-26-2015, 04:29 AM

then this may be a bug, because when I was given the choice it showed me either a 2h weapon or a shield. I will have to go back and see what the weapon actually says....

Tabri · 10-26-2015, 12:36 PM

When do you beta rewards for the tradeskill line show up on live? Last expac beta they showed up right away, there is nothing in the /claim area on live yet.

Tabri · 10-26-2015, 05:48 PM

Addition to my above post: I have now figured out the censor is not the end of the questline so nvm Oops

10-26-2015, 06:02 PM

Can you please make the Tranquil Censer of Confinement secondary/ranged so those mages and priest that use a 2-hander can still use it.

10-26-2015, 06:57 PM

it's not?! Once I talked to Ethan again it did not proceed any further....Please let me know!

10-26-2015, 07:31 PM

That was the end of the signature line, but there are more quests. You need to talk to Charles, who was hard to find for me... you can either take an elevator to him, or go down to the Mushroom Bar and Grill and go down a side tunnel.

Domino · 10-26-2015, 07:43 PM

Please see the stickied thread for a full list of all the tradeskill quests in the expansion Smile
