In light of recent rumors that crafting is going to have a few changes coming up (next year? or 2015?) I wanted to start some shennigans about *gasp* below average crafting quest rewards or rewards that dont exactly fit in with the Artisan's level range. Quest: Artisan Saga: Fiend Hunter Armor Quest Level: 22 Task: Craft Fiend Hunter Armor x5 and Fiend Huner Weapon x5 Reward : Whitesmith's Ring I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that "ohh yeah everyone uses this reward everyday...."
Quest: Artisan's Saga: Crafting Honey Quest level: 22 Task:Craft Fake Ulvari Charm x1 Reward: Brightsmith's Band Gee, that master brightsmith is just awesome!
I agree...I'm only level 20 crafting, but was very frustrated to get that crap-fist of junk after I worked on the quests for over an hour. It wasn't necessarily game-breaking for me, but it did cause me to run to Google and various other well-known VG crafting resource sites...to look at quests before I ever do any of them again. It would be nicer to craft (or adventure or diplo) at random, knowing I would get something decent in return instead of this vendor garbage.
please remember that quest give XP, m ore XP than any WO of the same level, so was not all for nothing.
This thread is not about crap gear but more towards unreasonable or strange crafting quest rewards. The two I posted are out of place since they are so near the end of the Artisan Saga and are really under powered for the level required.
