REQ: More mid-tier mastercrafted gear

Zard · 08-18-2007, 07:59 PM

I love the Deathfist Citadel armor not only for the looks but also because, as level 37 armor, it is halfway between level 32 and 42 mastercrafted armor.

Please add more level x7 MC gear that require rare drops -- not harvests -- and cool places to craft them.

There is already a forge in Solusek's Eye, for example, so maybe some level 47 gear could be crafted there?

Or some level 27 gear crafted inside Stormhold or Fallen Gate? There are forges there too.

Also, why limit it to armor? Some cool weapons, jewelry or possibly even food would be fun too.

There already were (and perhaps still are) T5 weapons that could be crafted in a special zone - the wrymsteel ones. They used a special harvest - a strange black ore - which I have not found since LU24. There were also T5 jewelry that could be crafted from raid drops prior to LU24, and also a bow, some tailor recipes, and perhaps more. I believe they only dropped on one raid - I think it was Spirits of the Lost. That raid is quite popular still with my guild as it is fun and a great source of AA xp. There is a forge in the Sanctum of the Scaleborn used for HQs which could be used for other T7 recipes, though it is a lot harder to get to than the DFC one. Many people have asked for special recipes like these. Hopefully DFC armour is just the first stage.

Terron, the t5 fabled crafted stuff was removed in LU24, so not it isn't in the game anymore.

I'm all for mid tier gear, I'm not all for making crafters adventure to be able to make it though. I have a lvl 69 armor who will likely never make a single piece from DFC simply because he is too low to survive a trip through Zek, let alone DFC.

Make the items you need to make it mob drops, sure (use the relic mold concept, just allow crafters instead of NPCs forge it) but it should be back in the cities, not in some dungeon where a dedicated crafting toon can't get to.

In fact, let's expand the relic concept out to weapons and jewelery and etc. The players get a mold from certain drops (treasured, legendary, fabled), gems (which are universal through all 7 tiers) and use the commission system to make it. Treasured would be tradeable, legendary and fabled wouldn't be.
