Monk Tailor problem

Elagneros · Post by **Elagneros** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 2:57 pm

I don't remember the times involved off hand, but do you need more time to level? Otherwise you should be able to get to MA tailor.

Personally, I've always made pure crafters because it was faster and because I didn't have to mess around with trying to figure out the time involved with a multiclass. Downside is besides leather druids and arcane wizards, most crafter builds tend to be pretty weak. Adequate for PvM, but very very bad for PvP.

Hmm, only thing I can think of is that those 4 fighter levels are somehow interfering in your leveling. Technically, only cleric, paladin, sd, and some other PrCs are supposed to block advancement past craftsman. However, maybe the code sees your 4 fighter levels first and thinks you can't progress furthur and doesn't notice the levels of monk.

At "Tailoring" level 4 (Master Craftsman) check
ROGUE + RANGER + BARD + DRUID levels must = 14 or over as far as I can see to pass (ie get to next level)

Other devs? Am I missing a back-door in the code here that can get a monk past that check (ts_pc_skill_info ln 178)

*Disclaimer: I know nothing about the crafting system so maybe these checks change between stations?

Anyone had a chance to look into this?

I know most of the theories on why I cannot continue, unfortunitely I can do nothing about many of them.

OK, either someone fixed it (thank you), or it was a carbon based error.

My monk is not Artisan and on the way to master Artisan.

OK I have a 31st level 100% Monk and have over 10 thousand crafting xp and have waited my time. I am in The Monastery and cant level past Master Craftsman. Do I need to go somewhere else or what is the problem? If it's a glitch and can be fixed..great !
If it's a matter of wanting people to explore to find a different place..Id say it would more likely make them frustrated and stop cratfing.

OK I went to the hush hush hidey spot with the funny name also and that didnt work either...Have a ss for that if needed but didnt figure you'd need another one on the forums.
Please let me know what can be done. Thanks

I did 1fighter/19bard for my tailor, works perfectly... Monks sucks!

Thanks for the insightfull input Jester but since they supposedly fixed monk tailoring to work we thought that they might like to see some of the problems that a Monk was having while trying to tailor. Besides this is a regular toon not one originally designed for Tailoring. Poet actually plays this one and is giving up massive amounts of xp just to be able to tailor. If anybody has some "usefull" information that would help we would love to hear it.

Here's some useful information:

If you're going to make a Tailor that wants to get to Master Artisan, use a bard!

Gah, so much spaghetti! My file list is from 3/12/06, and the info agrees with the code to actually make stuff now (I had monk levels disqualify from highest skill level, but didn't change that when I added the far more cheesy PRCs from the expansions, think Zing updated as he posted). AFAICT, the info messages should agree with what you can make now (for tailoring it's 19 or 20 levels of monk, bard and rogue in any combination).

Pal, cler, blackguard, rdd, dd, shadowdancer, pm, assassin all make the third crafting tier the highest you can attain for any tradeskill and so on.

Final note: the split damage bonus weapons were better in most cases when damage resistance was bugged, that was fixed in 1.66.

DualDMGType weapons are better now as far as I know, sure they get sapped by resistance more, but your crits get through more now with no immunity dragging them down. Even when there is immunity now, the max is 25% and not 50% for single dmg items.
Makes making a morningstar WM a better choice than most.

Back to the topic, it is possible for a monk to MA tailoring. I have one, and I know elagneros does also.

So if it is possible, why isnt poets pure monk (same as mine) going up in lvls?

Poet · Post by **Poet** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 8:47 pm

Yes , I tried yet again. It still doesn't work... Is there anyone out there with helpful options. Lordvan and Redmane have both done their best to help figure it out. They have even come in-game and tried some things. Can I get a Dev or a knowlegeable DM to attempt to fix it please.

I DON"T NEED BUILD ADVICE! Thanks to all who have given it but that is not the problem. According to others on the server and to server stats and the stats of this character, it should work. Others do. I would just like to get this one fixed please.

Thanks Lordvan for directing it back on topic.

He's right. My Grasshopper toon got to MA tailor as a 19th level monk with no problems. There's no reason why a 30+ character shouldn't be able to do the same.

Just checking, 10,000? That might be the problem. Unless you have over 16,000 crafting points in which case it's definatly busted.

AFAIK you need 16,000 crafting points to achive MA.
