Hi all,
I logged on the day after the patch with my Level 22 Weaponsmith to make some carbonite spikes for a friend. Now normally, I am able to make a prstine spike about 90% of the time (and pristine bars 100%). The spike would take me to the limit of my power using the buffs and the bar would take about 50% of my power up. So i was confident of making him the 20 spikes in no time at all.
Thing is, it suddenly got harder! Now a bar uses up full power by the time I get halfway/three quarter way through the craft. I ended up with a load of non-pristine bars and then even worse spikes. It was fortunate the quality didnt matter to my friend...but it does to me. What will happem when i need to make those carbonite edges for my weapons? I could normally rely on a good pristine rate, leading to a 50% pristine hit on the wepon itself. Now I can only see myself making pristine stuff if it is a green/grey craft to me.
Did anyone else notice this after the patch? If so, was it intentional? I have not crafted since as resources are so darned expensive (too expsnive to waste on almost guaranteed failure). Us weaponsmiths have it bad enough already with people generally only buying pristine weapons from us and no xp bonus for crafting question marks.
Please tell me it's gonna get better (or has since i last tried!)
Minky
