I’m watching my crafting bar. 2.500 Bowl of Apple Sauce. Afterwards it’s 2.500 Bowl of Blackberry Pear Compote, followed by 2.000 Spicier Flank Steak and 5.000 Cup of Light-Roasted Coffee.
Then I’m going to sit there watching my Portable Composter salvage 10.000 items. Then I’ll turn them into 500 Pile of Enriched Compost so I have them on reserve, because it’s such a fucking pain to craft them.
And that’s an easy batch. Ever crafted a gen2 legendary? 20.000 Mithril, 50.000 Elder Wood?
2012 crafting system is no match for 2022+ crafting.
The crafting system needs a complete overhaul anyway. Its alright for crafting little things but your example is really annoying to do.
Scribe is also just a horror to navigate and way to expensive for smaller guilds.
It’s obvious that ArenaNet was desperately looking for material sinks, but begining with Ascended Crafting I really started to wonder how heavy this stuff would become in real live.
I’ve really enjoyed early game crafting, but sounds like that will change eventually…
I’ve always just tabbed out while crafting larger batches. Sitting there watching the bar doesn’t make sense.
But yeah, it would be nice if they made it so the crafting bar moves only a set amount of times before your crafting is automatically finished. That does mean that you’ll have no way to cancel the crafting process after a certain amount if you accidentally put in a wrong number, but for me personally it would be worth it.
Re: legendary crafting, I don’t know anyone who does them in one go, but maybe I just don’t know enough rich people xD
They should just make it instant when you are max level. It’s hard enough to keep track of all the ingredients, the amount you need to craft and what goes where omg! XD
I recently made my first legendary weapon and I was so exhausted after lol
I know your pain. It needs an overhaul after a decade of additions of additions inflating the numbers.
