Craftbonus for Artisan - Phoenix Freeshard

Hi my dears. How about a crafting related bonus for Artisans?
Its very very very plat and timeconsuming to reach this rare title and maybe staff can think about a kind of privilege (saddlebags?) or bonus (1 % more MP, or lower matcost, 1 more playerhouse to sell stuff) for Artisans?
Would be great to get some push for crafting side of daoc.

Maybe some players have anotjer input which privileges or bonus would made sense and maybe staffmember can give a first feedback, what they think about topic.
Ok thx ciao

Edit: forget house, every idiot can lead 4 guild for 4 extra guildhouses so anyway)

I like the idea of 1% higher chance of MP, even via some sort of quest reward/non-tradable tool.

I'm not sure lower material costs based on skill level would work without a fair amount of fiddling though

Artisans get vanity craftrecipes at 1300 tradeskill.

2 new Idea´s:

1. Create some crafting related Quests for Artisans only, where you maybe need 2 groups to fight a special mob or such.
2. Make Artisans giving craftbonus to non-Artisans when in groupwith this crafter OR max capacity = 8, for each Artisan in group, raise the MP-Chance to 0.5 %
3. Maybe Artisans can activate a special skill to craft in next 5 minutes each item in 1 second

Thx

I am all for bonuses for such an achievement, but you have to be careful or you change the economy and suddenly crafters without bonuses are not competitive anymore

titles and cosmetics are no issue

craftspeed is probably also less of an issue, though faster crafting = more time to farm, but i don't think the impact on the economy would be an issue

more MPs or less crafting mats used would reduce crafting prices, and anyone trying to produce and sell crafted items would be required to have those bonuses to be able to price their wares competitively. It sounds nice on paper but imo would result in a bad issue

U have some points.

Ok Sepplord decide we make Artisans have 1 second craftspeed for all

If you want bonuses just related to crafting for Artisan, you risk impacting the new ROG crafting.
DAoC crafting nowadays is a little useless IMO, you can craft MP or just buy them, there is not enough incentives to craft with the availability of Uniques and ROGs.
If crafted armor would be the only armor available at 100% qual, or if it would have a 5% increased bonus compared to ROG/Uniques, then maybe it would be worth more.

In my classic days, there was only around 10 LGM crafters on the server and it was rare, but on Phoenix its quite easy to get LGM with the craft set and the macros, so if you give a bonus to crafting for artisan in 1 week everybody will become artisan and current artisan will be sad.

The only thing apart from the cosmetic title of Artisan I could see as a bonus is maybe a flat 10% exp bonus, or access to crafting some kind of reskin patterns to sell on the market.

Nice Idea Cent.

Ok so make Artisans 1 second craftspeed, 10 % XP-Bonus and make special Reskins (but mats. need to get hard to obtain).

I do not see this danger, because Artisan is a very very very expensiv and time consuming achievement. And beside, when the bonus Artisan´s get is nice and motivating, its draw out wealth out of the community. This is what staff want, as far as i know.

So, IF there will be in future a bonus for Artisan, its need noticable and motivating, so players want it and invest plats in this bonus. Just for 10% xp, noone invest hundreds of plats.

Nice collection so far folks

Maybe we get a first reaction from a staffmember soon or some other nice idea´s from the community.

My vote will still be saddlebags. Not changing the economy of other Non-Artisans, but its a very nice tool to get more stuff with you.
Ofc u need a horse for this and thats not cheap too.

I spent 28 plat from all leg to artisan. so far away from hundreds.
the ideas with 1% better chance of getting mp and special reskins are nice ideas.

maybe the unlocking of chest #4 in 40p houses? =)

1 more idea: crafting without smith, alch. table or laithe

What you think about that?

give artisans all crafter items bonuses even if not wearing it. =)

They should get a summonable crafting supplies merchant.

This is the best suggestion so far! Doesn't impact the game/economy but is still a nice to have!

I am LFM but never bothered to get Artisan. I just didn't see the point spending a bunch of plat for a title.

how about stacking 10 99ers and combine 'em to 1 mp as special artisan recipe.
