Well you can get to level 75 with the crafting festival, many of the servers crafters have done it this way for years. It is the best and fastest way to level crafts up, now you want them to let you get level 100 in a few days, hell no.

Why is everyone in the game today wants everything handed to them easily? why not make it so you can buy a toon level 90/90 and all TP skills leveled up for diamonds?

They gave people the ability to level more than one craft on one toon which we never did before and had to have alts for each craft above level 60.

If they do this i want reimbursement or compensation for all the crafters in the game that are above level 75 and i don't mean XP crafting potions.

I Wouldn't Mind Paying Diamonds For Crafting Levels.

zid, they already sell "lvl 90 w/ all skills" in IS, its called xp/tp orbs.

why the [smurf] should older players get compensation when they update content to reflect the current game status? by that logic, I want compensation on my ch2 toon because they came out with CoO/xav and its way easier to level to 50 now than it was before, when we had to go through dfr...

Well people complaining how hard it is to do this and that blabla, people are just lazy and those who say : i only have an hour of play time a day and i should be allowed to have the same as others that can put 6 to 8 hours of playtime, no they are not. Crafting was made easy enough with the crafting festival that no changes are needed.


Cike, i was never hot for COO/Xaviera unless they made it mandatory that 2 of your classes were already above level 50, just too easy for first classes. But yet again they value lazyness more and more in this game. People miss out on content without doing the first real zones that we did way back when.

Crafting festival gets you to level 75 within a day and about 20M gold on a craft, already too easy.

Have you tried to level a craft recently Zid? Except maybe alchemy, you're not making ANYTHING worthwhile, and the amount of runes alone necessary makes it nearly impossible. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of whatever type of production rune your particular craft uses to get to cap. I don't know about other servers, but Reni's economy certainly isn't supplying that amount of production runes.

Well as i was saying i brought most of my crafts over the years without the crafting festival to level 70 to 75, ya it needs a bunch of crafting runes and mats, that is where having guildies help you out by sending the runes for free and friends also. The server supplies enough runes if you ask nicely to them, but greed as always made some think only about gold. A lot of helpful people on Reni and if you remember Borella, i was one of those who sent you some for free to help with your tailoring and it was my pleasure and just to help you out. I wish more people would do like you and started crafting, ya it takes time but it has to be fair to all. So i think the system now works fine and is fair to all who wish to do it but it will take time, mats, crafting runes and help from friends and others.


I have my difference with you and others but i will always be there to help out when i can, as others did for me and some still do today. It is a community after all and giving to others is how i try my best to do it. Some might get mad at me for my opinions as do i for some peoples opinions, but i always try to do my best to comprehend what they are trying to say, since it is not always the way we read it.

I don't know anything about the festivals as I have never participated in any of them; but my question would be, what level was the crafting festival when it first began and what level is it now? If at all the level had been raised in the past, then there is really no reason why I could see it not being raised again.

they introduce it when level cap was 75 if i am correct, i might be wrong and as far as i know it has never been raised in level and you could always be able to get 75. After you've reach that level you can get to level 80 and then it gets a bit easier to level with standard crafting.

BTW crafting is the one thing for people who spend more than an 1 hour a day in game to be able to have a small advantage over others from the game.

I'm not sure about before, but crafting festival was around during either late 72 cap or early 75. I don't remember which, and I was a newb back then xD

Lmao zid weren't you just begging for an update to pet gathering. That's the same thing as asking for event update yet here you are blasting this guy.

At least the crafting event isnt blatant botting like pet auto craft is

iirc, it was lower than 75, as, at one point, the lvl 72 rings were the "best" things you could make.

somebody may just want to dig through patch notes, as it *should* be mentioned if it was updated.

crafting festival was implemented lvl 72 cap, chapter 5. patch 5.0.0. no mention of "new recipes" I could find with the subsequent releases.

found chapter 4 patch notes(67 cap) with crafting festival in them...back to the drawing board...

First off to Cike, no rings were ever able to be crafted except the dragon set level 55. You could from that festival make necklaces level 71 but you had to be level 80 in that craft to make them.

to twmxc pet gathering has been stuck at level 61 for 3 years now and thorn apple has been used for too long. Crafting festival helped people get into crafting and has prevented them from having to do the lower levels of crafting.

Also i wasn't blasting that other person, i was putting up my opinion, do you have anything relevant to add to this post, stop trolling.

Obviously there are two camps here: On the one side you have existing high level crafters who would prefer to protect their investment into leveling their crafts and on the other there are those who would like a more viable means to level their crafting to higher levels. Since the self interest of each side is incompatible, with neither side likely to convince otherwise, I suggest we all just agree to disagree and move on here.

Quoted from "Tuulikki"

On the one side you have existing high level crafters who would prefer to protect their investment into leveling their crafts

yet a good number of people got to useful crafting levels when the event was new. since then, the game has progressed faster than the event. simply put, the people that leveled their crafts with prior crafting festivals are in essence, arguing that newer people should not have the same advantage they did.

if the crafting festival went to slightly lower than cap, and then increased a couple levels every year like the actual crafting levels, then there is nothing to complain about, as all people get dumped at the same relative spot (couple levels below "useful"), same with if crafting level went straight to cap every year.

it doesn't matter whether you leveled crafts without festival or not. if you leveled them without festival, grats, but condemning others for using the festival for it's intended purpose is not ok(considering unless you leveled crafts before the festival came in ch5...even then, again, at this point, the festival gets you through the "useless" levels...much like CoO/xav...no point complaining about it now, considering the game has progressed FAR past it). if you leveled crafts with ANY prior version of the festival, then you have no right to block others from enjoying the same benefit you did(getting dumped at cap or darn near it).


edit: looking back at crafting festival guide, it appears that it originally capped out at ~55(when game cap was 67, as far as i can tell). so it HAS been updated. you can sort of track the increases in this thread .

Well getting to level 55 the old fashion way was never hard to do but from 55 to 75 it took a lot of runes and mats. But Tuuliki is totally right on his post + 1000.

Just tired of people who want everything handed to them without having to work for it, i want pom's!!!i want easier crafts because i don't want to pay 5M for OD crafted gear but i will sell you my hardmode instance UD gear for 100M, i want to be level 90/90 TP max etc but i guess that is how society works these days, everyone is a winner even if they don't deserve it.

Work at it, earn it then you get it.

I will never agree with this anyways so i'm out

P.S. Cike tyvm for that link, i couldn't find it lol

The suggestion is to raise the level one can reach in crafting by using the craft fest. Duly noted, and I'll ask for it to be passed on.

Enough nerd rage already. /closed
