Goldsink: Crafting Area for your house

[Doomsayer]

Had this idea while going back and forth between the bank and the crafting area. I miss the comfort and practicality of crafting in my own house, with materials close by and no thieves or griefers around.
I know I can do it regardless now, but it is a bit lame to miss out on the advantage the crafting area gives.

I'm not sure but I think the idea of the crafting area is to get people out of their house?

 

[halygon]

Yeah that was my understanding too and it does a good job of it. I only wish there was one or more crafters guild zones in other towns.. Maybe one other like Minoc, which is basically a crafters town.

 

[Cheesestick]

I like the Minoc crafting zone idea!

 

[Dwyane Wade]

I think the whole idea of the crafting area was to get people together and give it that nostalgic feeling. Adding more crafting areas would take away from the main reason of having a crafting area in the first place

Yeah but personally id like to go mine and smith in one place. The mines beside Brit suck.

On a tangent,

Crafting scroll(or a series of small ones with randomized duration and used collectively) that can be attained through a given method that would give a given region or estate the same benefits(or unique) of Britain Smithy for X period of time.
This could also be a general point currency that is rewarded at events?

I'm drawing from the concept of how guilds efforts in GuildWars2 create buff banners that benefit the server. This does create a stronger sense of community.

Actually, now that I type this out, maybe this could be a faction thing attainable with silver. It could be a draw for more faction action.

With the current state of slayers and soon to come slayer armor and lack of definitive player roles of non-anat/scribe characters in factions.

Who knows, maybe even the creation of faction blessed runics(ya I said it), but the blessing would be for a given hourly duration as opposed to an indefinite bless.

the crafter area bonus is specifically designed to enhance player interaction by getting people out of their homes to craft things.

 

[mynameis]

Multiple crafting areas sound cool. If its only two, definitely Minoc.

 

[Ramtha]

Minoc and Cove to get crafting areas!

 

[the Face]

i think there should be something cool in every town, especially with the growing population.

i think it would be cool to have specific things like a smithy only crafting area in minoc, some kind of inscription crafting area in moonglow or wind, new duel pits in jhelom, etc.

as far as having your own personal crafting area in your home, fuck naw. i dont think thats a very good idea at all...

 

[Babethoven]

if they do decide to put in MORE crafting areas to raise skill faster and eventually kill the need for PS of those skills....

yeh sure put then out of town in a non guard zone

I actually support the idea of crafting areas inside houses. I don't care about the bonus exceptional chance or even the reduced materials requirement. All I want to do is be able to craft Slayer weapons inside my house. You're putting a crafting area inside of a faction city that's practically as far away from the bank as possible. Even if I farm all of my own materials, I have to carry them all across the city and then I have to worry about thieves and pk's that pop in to kill me or my pack animal.

I believe the server is populated enough to have house crafting zones...maybe as a donation item. Either this or add a bank NPC inside of the Crafting zone so I can at least stockpile my resources.

 

[Kryptorchid]

Why not add bank access while in the crafting zone? Or is the annoyance of running back and forth from the crafting zone to the bank an intended activity?

 

[Messremb]

I think it would be cool if you could use the new Legendary hammer (or whatever its called) to make a Special forge that gives the crafting bonus in houses. you could even give it charges, so people don't use this as a way to AFK farm slayers.

I don't know, just a thought.

im going to create a separate thread for this.. Iv always thought the same thing.

 

[BeerJedi]

As much as I love setting up a cool forge of my own in my house, i love the single crafting area in Brit. It does drive traffic (i've seen more guys come up and ask for repairs) and does give a sense of population. those crafters create traffic and conversation and makes areas outside of W Brit Bank populated. If you were to split into multiple crafting areas then my recommendation would be:

1. Brit Crafting guild remains as is: used for mining (smelt), Smithing, Tinker, Fletching, carpentry, etc.
2. Mages Crafting Guild: Set it in either The mage shop in Brit (central to everything else) or in Magincia. Though I like Vesper as a spot. Here you'd get bonuses to Alchemy, Scribing, Magery, cartography,

YES it is intended. How else do you expect me to steal your shit?

NO to that OSI garbage!
