Demands? (Crafters Point of View)

[t41nt3d]

Hi, I'm about to re-role (again) and specialise in a different area of crafting, Im currently on weapon, but everyone makes weapons! I may possibly go light armor or more possibly, Jewellery. Can anyone (prefferably on the europe server) advise if it'd be worth me working souly on jewellery with HP and/or Stamina bonuses?

If you want people from the Euro english server to comment you'd be better posting on their forums.

Im from there... and quite a few other people scanning the US forum are also from the European server, it's just that we dig information where we can find it... I'm sure a lot of NA players also visit our forums and ask questions there

And for t41nt3d:

Jewellery. Can anyone (prefferably on the europe server) advise if it'd be worth me working souly on jewellery with HP and/or Stamina bonuses?

I suppose you mean solely? I haven't seen too many people working on jewerly and advertising it (by comparison with the other crafters that is) and very few people asking for jewelry. Personnally I think it's going to be needed in the future much more than it is now; those bonuses are great... But I would do it in parallel with other crafts (I'm weapon/armor/jewelcrafter with my Fyros)

Aye, but I also needed to know if its a good idea to make jewellery with HP or Stam boosts, or just Sap?

Yes thnx for pointing that out, just like prospecting and harvesting, I prospected good info-mats here lol

Ok I think I'll go heavy armor and and jewellery, its just jewellery is so easy to make but its pretty low on the xp but you think of all the bonuses if you had a full set of jewels with +10 HP and stam, thats pretty good for fighters

Thnx for the info

If you concentrate on Jewellry theres one thing to keep in mind: it does not take damage as armor/weapons do.

So if someone has a q80 set with 400 HP for example, he´ll be sorted for a while. (you can equip that with lvl 1 without any sideaffects as well)

I think the market for jewellry is a small one.

Since everyone is doing HP bonus crafting there would be some demand for focus or sap boni imho

I would spend a lot of dapper with pleasure on a jewellery set AND a light armor set (if available) with a maximum + on focus for harvesting sessions. Even with q50 this could get as high as +350 focus wich can make a difference.

But i wouldnt dare saying that crafting foci items will be long-term rewarding.

Assuming that they do a bit of a pass on ranged weapons, you may want to go into that ( and ammo building).

I know I went into the range tree because I know that ammo is ome thing that will alost constatly have demeand when range is soemthing people use ( and ammo costs get a bit cheeper).

Scarlet in Tryker land pretty much has the monopoly on jewelry atm. She makes +250 hp, sap, or focus jewelry and I have not seen anybody else even trying to sell a set. Also I think she can make much higher if she had the mats. Like previous poster said, while they are very useful, you only really need them once. They never wear out.

They wore out in beta. They would take level hits. You would be wearing your Q50 jewelry and then notice that your earing was Q30 the next day and your braclet was Q35. I'm not sure if that is still the case. I certainly hope so. If jewelry doesn't degrade, then its worthless.
