the new crafting thing...

Kromix · Post by **Kromix** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 1:25 am

i crafter all sorts of scrolls to xfer to another wizard, now when the other wizard picked up the scrolls from the floor, they would dissapear with a message saying the the item could not be crafted...

plz look into it, i think is cause of the new "crafters can now use any of their items thing"

thanx

Yeah not sure if it was intentional but i had someone transfer me rez scrolls and in order to pick them up i got charged the crafting cost in xp and gold???

not only with scrolls but with gear too??

just letting u guys know u just killed the whole point of a crafter ....

y make one if the only person able to use the stuff is u.

this issue s being worked on coz of the the cleric/rogues running around using scrolls on everyone lol. now the price is being paid

my suggestion is to have more xp penalties to use such scrolls

So what happens to the cleric that makes rez scrolls for his guild members / and or friends. Do they get nailed too because of this?

i wouldnt be suprised if this was an OOPS on the Dev's part when they were modifying the crafting system..... time will tell, i wouldnt jump to conclusions such as that, Nem.

Example : When Cleric spells were "modified" aka nerfed -- the Devs did tell us strait foward about the changes.....i dont think they would do somthing as drastic as it may seem on purpose without alerting the player base.....that way people arent unknowingly making builds that may have bad downsides only to find out at lvl 30 that they have been shafted.......

Netrom only mentions a benificial change to the system, as i said, my guess is that it was an unintentional error

Only your supposition, as it was changed to make the crafter use items which normally would be higher than their level. I don't think it was implemented to fight the UMD caddies or clerics.

Edit: Heh as Fatzo said... Must have slipped his post because I usually dont read his spam.

Well I can't sell crafted boots in Avendale now either to get my MA level of crafting. Wonder if that was part of the 'fix' too.

Ya i think this is with crafting in general. I was crafting weapons and trying to sell them and it didnt work. But, seeing that i am new to the server i wasnt sure if this was standard.

Yeah, this is an error and we're looking into it. Thanks.

all that happens is it tells you either

1. the crafting location can't be found, poof the item disappears

2. you did not create this item, poof it disappears

3. you cannot afford to craft this item, poof it disappears

4. you pick it back up with the crafter and have to pay for it again.

*note* all these results were from scrolls, which means don't make scrolls for guild members/friends of any kind and expect to give them away.

as i figured, alot of panic for nothing

its actualy not a bad idea to make scrolls charge you every time they are transfered, as noted above it would help with umd people getting free scrolls from their other toons aswell as cut down on meta-gaming.

No....just no. I'm not a mega-gamer at all, and I don't see a guild member lending another member a hand meta-gaming. Those scrolls were made from blood, sweat, xp, tears, and gold. If the person who made those decides to be generous with them, then good for them! They shouldn't have to be charged to give. Where the heck are you from?

seems everything is working fine again.

I transferred cafted staves, mage scrolls , and rezzes to my pm with no errors.

thanks guys
