Runes of Magic US / AU

Perhaps a new crafting skill such as a Jeweler could be added. They would have the ability to craft rings, earrings and necklaces of all levels. The recipes could consist of a mix of all 3 types of mats. The crafting runes could be brand new runes that could be obtained the usual ways and dropped by enemies that currently drop no production runes. Those who do not craft won't care but what do the rest of the craft addicts think of the idea?

True that we can craft 4 different types of necklaces. All are level 72 to wear and level 80 to craft. They are all made with 12 Essence crystals per necklace. And yes there are a few rings that can be made but not anywhere near the full range of all different levels.

Why add a new skill? Why add new areas, instances, monsters and gear? Because it adds to the game. Like I said before, those who don't craft will not be interested.

and thanks for the negative response there. Guess we can see why it took 2 years to make a post in here because I expected somebody to come off with something like that. Thanks dude.

I still think it is a great idea and would add to the game, add to the enjoyment that a crafter gets from making things and perhaps even help the economy. Some of us enjoy crafting more than siege and consider it the BEST aspect of the game. I know I and a few others do. I'm not really interested in being the best geared player so I can crush people in siege and boost my ego. Don't really need that. I'm secure in who and what I am. I'm a crafter, planter and gatherer.

Perhaps those who already make some of the rings do NOT want anything new like that because they are making money off of the few pieces of jewelery that can currently be crafted.

Maybe someday I'll grow up to be a forum "professional" by shooting down other peoples' ideas.

Anyway whatever. Just thought I'd suggest it because there is a thread for "Suggestions"

Have a good day all.

Sorry Majik, I didn't mean to go over the line. I actually tempered my response down a long way from what I really wanted to say. I do agree that the the positives and negatives need to be discussed but I did not consider "Why have a new crafting skill" to be any sort of reason not to add a new skill. Nobody forces anybody to take up crafting and I honestly do not see how it could hurt anyone to give players who enjoy crafting a new way to craft.

Yes the crafting set up is sort of messed up in a few areas but still is quite workable and fun. Now as for planting, what seeds produce really got messed up at the highest level but that's another thread. I don't think we'd have to give up anything to take up another skills since we have alts. I like crafting enough to use an alt to do it. I already have alts crafting anyway and have Legendary Carp, Bs. Arm Craft, Tailor and 79 Cook and 75 Alchemist. Yes I live to craft.

I really think it would be a good thing for the game. There are many crafters in the game and it would bring more people into crafting because everybody would start at the same time. Another good thing it would do for the game is that it would give brand new players a way to get gold as they begin their adventure in the game. They could sell the runes and recipes that they get from drops. This in turn would give them an avenue to get gold from the start and not get so frustrated that they leave the game because they can't scrounge up 100k gold while seeing all the gear selling for 100-200 million. This game needs new players to insure the longevity of the game. Not sure how many of you have been watching the starting areas but I am NOT seeing anywhere near the numbers of beginners that I did 2 or even one year ago. Most of the reason for that, I believe to be related to the economy. It would also boost items shops sales as player would have more items to upgrade.

Okay enough of my ramblings. Bottom line is that it is not my call. Just thought it would be good for everybody except for players who don't want others to have something they'd enjoy. I still see no negatives to the idea other than it would be work for some of the people who write the code.

Thanks to those who said it a good idea. Good day all.
