Fix for Quests that require Crafting (as Bone Clasped girdle, etc)

[Tappit]

Just to let yall know, if you have low crafting skill or really (gawd forbid) hate crafting, but the quest requires you to craft something..like the Bone Clasped Girdle quest...you can take someone else with you to do the crafting part for you.

Rudiel needed to get to the SoS forge to make the phylacetry. We got a tank (Rankle) and healer (Goose) to help us down there, having fun n killing on the way down.

Once there, Rudiel tried but failed the combine himself...
And all he got back was the primary ingredient back, the recipe.

So he called back home, got to a broker, bought the extra stuff he needed, and got back to SoS and I "Called of the Hero" him back down to forge (nice having a conjuror every once in a while ).

It is important to note, you need to bring your own fuels (mystical incense) as there is no vending machine nearby...lol

Anyway...important notes on using the commission system (having a crafter make something for you):

I was the crafter, and Rudiel was the customer.
Both people need to be near the crafting station (we were using the ancient draconic forge).

The crafter opens up their recipe book....then targets the customer....then clicks the create button.
This opens a "new" window...the commission crafting window I call it.
Now the customer needs to put the primary ingredient in first!!! Otherwise it won't work.

Then the other ingredients can be placed, i think by either customer or crafter.
In our case, Rudiel had to give me some fuels, cuz it didn't recognize when he put them in, so I put them in from my side.

Note: put the right amount in...if you put a full stack in, and it only requires 1, you do not get leftovers and using stacks can cause issues with the commission crafting system

Also, if you are having something made, their is a slot to drop in money to pay the crafter... And you can see/examine what the final product is going to look like before they craft it...so you can be sure they are making the right thing for you

Once everything is setup ok, both crafter and customer click the "accept" button, and it starts the crafting process.

Once done, the final product auto goes to the suctomer, and any gold goes to the crafter


Pretty cool once we got the hang of it

very cool.
I would be one of those that doesn't really enjoy crafting as much as a lot of you do, and had pretty much given up on ever finishing the bone-clasped girdle.
May need to check where I am on that quest and commission a certain gnome I know

Wanted to let you all know that I have two lvl 70 Tradeskillers if anyone needs a combine done while working on an HQ .

I have learned SO much from Tappit and never knew anyone else could use that system for doing the high HQ combines. This is very useful information and I am glad I know it now so I can feel more useful helping someone else! Being a 70 weaponsmith has it's disadvantages sometimes .

Yeah, Tappit pretends to be a human from Texas, but I think he is a RL Gnome living in game...no other way I can explain how he could know as much as he does
