Provisioner question

Kroder · 03-17-2005, 06:57 PM

With the ability adjustments for the reaction arts, has the time on combines improved any?

I would like to see provisioner moved back to attended combines, since the current model encourages and rewards primarily the people who start a combine, then walk away to handle other real life concerns.

(I cannot blame them, between the combine time, and the number of combines needed to create a stack of desireable goods, it is the only realistic method of doing the class. It does, unfortunately, also lock out anyone who lacks casual access to a system for the purpose of using this method.)

I am forced to guess that no provisioners have checked on this as of yet...

If you have information about this, please reply.

Most testers don't bother with this board anymore since it is pretty much overrun with unrelated stuff.Please don't assume no one has gotten to see this yet just because no one posted a reply.

I am hoping someone might notice this, and give me a reply.

I used to be an active provisioner, back when it was possible to make the goodies without blowing two hours or more on a stack.

I miss it.

Well I am not in the best spot to really give you the answers you are looking for, since I am at the awkward level where I can't make many of the multiple combine foods and no drinks yet this tier. However I wouldn't expect a reduction in time due to the changes, at least a large that you seem to hope for. I noticed a few times the durability/progess was easier to manage, but that fourth bar was still a pain enough that it wasn't worth the effort to work for. Just my opinions and limited to mostly refines and 1hour foods at my tier. I really think it is something each crafter is going to have to try for themselves.

Sad to say that nothing has changed for provisioning times. It still takes a rediculous amount of time to make one order for one person.
