Crafting Autumn 2017

id like to start by saying i love the blade and soul and all my friends hear and the team has survived so many realy cruel and idiotic players so thank you for all the good things and of course the B&S TV is  a premier element that brings the team and players together . 

          crafting ... what did you do O: ? 

               to make a lv30 calling bell you have to be lv50HM9+ to farm extreme instance levels forcing us to play in cross server with pugs that can be hrs of painful grinding . let me give you a hint from a Dungeon Master that ran a single pnp game for 35 years having multiple sub-GMs an up to 50 ppl at a time ,and over 1000 players  . lv30 items require level 30 materials even epic items of that level would require items that are no more than a few levels over that (32 to 38) . im just saying maybe we can work on that for next year . Taking this away from open world was also a grave mistake , is essential to use all the content available to give familiarity and loyalty to the players crating a bond and a lasting foundation wherein the players pass on by word of mouth ( type ) that this is the best game to give them a reason to indoctrinate new players in this way . creating paradoxical , ridiculous or unworthy and Lore unfriendly systems makes the player feel lost and helpless or more so annoyed . My personal suggestion is to not sacrifice common sense just to herd players into areas that they may or may not even care to be in , that is called a GM railroad and as liner as the game is furthering the cattle trough ideology only promotes discontent when simple systems are made totally absurd . i am concerned that this will never be rectified as with so many modern game world systems , although maybe looking at crafting from a different vantage point will help . my advice is go to a historical colonial setting such that many state parks provide in the U.S.  and talk to the crafters as well as the historians and find out haw actual gathering and crafting was and still is to create a kinder and more adiquit system for the future . i pray i have not offended anyone in this my somewhat educated opinion and belief in both the game , the team as well as the need for consolidation perhaps some later ideal compromise will come to light . Blessings , thank you ~ Shen <3

well the new storyline gives the xps to get to hm8 and then some and also grants gear to farm the hm9 area needed for crafting . its different system and the mats we need i see are for gear aswell and that makes the upgrading hard on crafters one . also crafting salable items is harder as you need many mats the most difficult to obtain are rare elements .
