[earnest grove]

I was just about to mention something about that lol

Would be nice to either queue some orders, or at least allow our input for materials and fuel

[hybrid swan]

I dont mind that it waiting 50 mins when making 50 is annoying

[violet siren]

Most of the gathering and processing shirts are broken

[kind sierra]

wym

[fathom valve]

Anyone know where to go for fishing cerificate?

[hybrid swan]

@violet siren repair at vendor

not tried much fishing too afk for me

@fathom valve isnt it next to pond where the cooking area is?

maybe wrong

[fathom valve]

Only see the executive chef there

[violet siren]

They will not give the increased quantity or reduced speed

[jaunty shell]

I have a stupid question, and it's stupid because you all know the answer and everyone who started yesterday has asked hundreds of times. How do you get the profession certificates?

[hybrid swan]

are you level 10 in profession?

[jaunty shell]

I'm just trying to get an understanding of where to start with it. So hit level 10 and then what?

[hybrid swan]

then next to crafting station you see a person who gives out certificates and you talk to him, what I dont understand you can ask to be demoted

[jaunty shell]

Perhaps because you can't get a certificate in everything and may want to switch things up as you get further. Thank you @hybrid swan

[pliant crown]

yea right now its just 1 npc in entire map that gives you the cert and im like why they in the middle of no where so to speak lol

[hybrid swan]

top crap arrow is the metal/stone working

wood one below ofc

[jaunty shell]

So the places that are the independent crafting villages (so to speak) are where you get the respective certificates?

[hybrid swan]

aye when you hit 10 you can use novice gear you have to make

[jaunty shell]

For example, the textile mill that has the textile mill ember spring would be for the weaving/textile cert

[hybrid swan]

yep

[jaunty shell]

Perfect. Thank you very much.

[drifting gust]

fishing is so easy to level

[slow meteor]

How is the rarity of a crafting result determined, if there are multiple ingredients?

[pliant crown]

i think its weighted

so if you want blue item you want to make sure it averages out to having more blue

[honest cave]

how does one fish?

[pliant crown]

have to open fishing in artisian page and drag fish ability onto hotbar

[honest cave]

thank you

[slow meteor]

Do you know if the number of items required of a type influences the weight?

[pliant crown]

i dont know exactly but think of like

say its 4 items to make something

if 3 are blue and 1 is green, i am fairly certain it will be blue

but if 3 are blue 1 is gray it may be green

[autumn junco]

How much are any of you selling copper for if at all?

[pliant crown]

im not on the off chance they unfuck crafting that uses copper

[slow meteor]

Thank you!

[autumn junco]

Yeah, but "I have 80 copper and can offload some, want my bear mount.

[pliant crown]

i think the crafting recipee will show you what color you will get before you hit 'craft' when you have put the items in

may be able to trade the copper for bear mount if someone is selling on your server but i dont know specifically what people selling copper for

i think i had seen 1 person trying for 1 silver per coppre ore

but hard to say

[autumn junco]

copper is used for artisan tools i know and i think why most want it.

[pliant crown]

to add to this i havent crafted with enough higher tier mats available to truely test this

copper is used for all tools, all weapons, many building upgrades for nodes and everything that uses it doesnt use just a couple it uses 10-20 per item

[slow meteor]

How important are artisan tools? They are only faster, right, don't give rarer materials?

[pliant crown]

and if trying to level crafting thats in the several thousands of copper i imagine

novice increases speed and has x3 durability vs crude tool you start with

[autumn junco]

im going armoursmith so zinc is what i need for that.

[pliant crown]

apprentice tool is required to gather apprentice tier gatherables

[autumn junco]

I wouldn't even bother with the novice level tool though.

[slow meteor]

how much faster are they

[pliant crown]

zinc is about as rare as copper but not as many professions use it, although buildings will also need it for nodes idk which building though since they doint let us see ui

it says like 55 if its grey

the main thing is 180 durability vs 60

so you can stay out longer gathering without needing to repair

if you do a higher tier tool it gets passives but idk what those passives would be

[autumn junco]

Yeah but you usually run out of bag space before durability.

[pliant crown]

i have apprentice bags so they can stack pretty fat stacks

now if im gathering a little bit of everything yea

[autumn junco]

Fair enough, im only at lvl 8 miner, my highest, so no appretice bags yet.

[pliant crown]

but if its just 1 item type

[high oxide]

ok i am dumb.. how do you progress to apprentice gathering? i did the first lvl of novice. how many novice until apprentice?

[autumn junco]

So im mostly talking about only while your a novice. Thats why I am saying the novice tool isnt worth the investment of copper.

[pliant crown]

level the profession [any of them really] to 10

then find the one npc on the map that has the ability to raise you from novice to apprentice

you click twice in a dialogue and its done

[high oxide]

ok so it is 1/10 thanks!

[pliant crown]

keep in mind you can only have 5 professions as apprentice tier

[slow meteor]

who sells the apprentice bags?

[autumn junco]

What are the main gathering professions for cooking?

[pliant crown]

and even if you do get gathering profession to 10 although you can continue leveling it from 10-20 as an apprentice you cant gather apprentice nodes without the tool which then means a node needs to upgrade your specific tool station

[autumn junco]

fishing and herbs yeah?

[pliant crown]

i found them at the node merchant personally

so i assume any node merchant and just scroll it to the bottom

[hybrid swan]

drat picketed up a blue spider egg for hunting, not had that before not too sure if it went in bag before server went down, wasnt for spider leather thing, any idea?

[pliant crown]

im unsure but i expect on the gathering side fishing, herbalism, hunting

[raw rivet]

is there a list of receipes atm?

[pliant crown]

and you'd probably also want to consider farming for veggies

[pliant crown]

nope, its why i posted these earlier#alpha-two-artisan-chat message

[autumn junco]

Forgot about farming

Its not really a thing though atm right?

[pliant crown]

i personally would like the work stations to show you what recipees you dont have unlocked for crafting just so you know what exists

it is, you have to kill any animal mob for the droppings poop item

[raw rivet]

cheers currently looking for armour smithing receipes

[pliant crown]

and then i think the npc where you can upgrade farming that is to the west of lionhold sells all the food seeds like say blueberries

[autumn junco]

Where do you farm at though?

[pliant crown]

the scary part about the recipees is that was from grinding from 11-12 solo on humanoid mobs for recipees lmao

there is a farm crafting station in the nodes

also the one next to the trainer npc west of lionhold

in particular it is next to the animal husbandry station

farming is how you get cotton too

[raw rivet]

i found the novice receipes but its like a full set. just looking for others

[keen cliff]

Are there any quests or merchants for fishing. I love fishing and want to learn how to properly utilize it

[pliant crown]

you can buy some of the novice recipees for npcs but not all of them its weird

[raw rivet]

where abouts were you farming to find them?

[autumn junco]

Do you know how to AFK? Good, you're properly utilizing it.

[raw rivet]

yer for amoursmithing you can get the 2nd division plate stuff

[wide portal]

game desperately needs more copper in the map it's kinda crazy how rare that thing is

[autumn junco]

That was meant for monk lol

[pliant crown]

basically the only thing you can get quest wise i assume is the nodes 'gather 20 items' commission board thing

[raw rivet]

i agree with that, went out looking yesterday for an hour and a hlaf and found like 3 nodes

[pliant crown]

personally north east joeva

[wide portal]

1 here :))))

[pliant crown]

yea copper is way too rare for how much they ask you to get

[autumn junco]

Copper is honestly in decent abundance. Ya'll just need to know spots.

[raw rivet]

see so much iron but then again its probably because no one is farming it

[wide portal]

could just be that it's constantly farmed i guess

[raw rivet]

please enlighten us

[drifting gust]

I took a fishing commition and it wasn't working for me, but afk fishing is still fine gameplay

[wide portal]

i found some vid that showed a potentially good farming spot, went there and was pked and instantly looted on the spot by a group of 5 😂

[hybrid swan]

process all item to anything to lvl up processing and it sells for more money than raw material. I would keep all green to later on blue items and put in bank. For the time being most reciepes need oak and process alll other wood and sell

[autumn junco]

State secret my friend. I getting about 20-30 copper everytime I go to my spot. Want it to stay that way.

[keen cliff]

thanks. i know sofar it's an AFK thing and i was reading chat while doing it. I just wasn't sure if there were quests or such because i saw the wiki with gear. I did find some uncommon and rare tier fish. At level 5 i was down to 1% exp jumps per fishing cycle

[raw rivet]

what server? if not mine DM me 😄

[hybrid swan]

fishing it the afk king

[wide portal]

i second that 👀

[autumn junco]

Yeah, but it can be the same on yalls server as mine and that kind of info gonna spread like wildfire.

I'm just telling you, spots exist.

[raw rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/russel-scouts-honor-gif-9806586

i wount tell

[wide portal]

i do understand the reasoning behind not sharing farming spots tbh. Worked the same with new world

[pliant crown]

i dont really get the idea of keeping thigns secret in an alpha but i get it in a different way

[wide portal]

but then again it's alpha and stuff is subject to change, plus it's on for just the weekends for now

[autumn junco]

I tell you my working theory. Spawn rates are determined by foot traffic.

[pliant crown]

i have found some in the north eastern mountins of joeva that leads into the other zone but i think it might be based around mob levels since it tends to spawn higher tier resources

[raw rivet]

ive tried north west of there in the waterary area

[pliant crown]

yea it sometimes has copper but usually it seems to turn into higher tier nodes i noticed

but either way if for one individual to level 1 person needing thousands of copper to get out of novice is a bit much right now lol

[autumn junco]

I seem to find more copper and zinc in areas that aren't trafficed a lot by other players.

[pliant crown]

either more copper or cheaper recipees

when you gather it from the non trafficed areas it usually wont respawn as copper/zinc/rubies

so if you are getting it no one else is unless you are also gathering basalt and granite

[raw rivet]

yer buts thats saying that people just dont harvest it or youve made it there before other people

[pliant crown]

also rubies shouldnt be as rare as they are if they are supposed to make 1 hp pot lmao

[autumn junco]

I thought the same thing, but the spot I go to has now consistently given me all three of those in abundance.

Which is why I have that working theory.

[pliant crown]

that sounds like a bug more than anything if its respawning the same resource

[keen cliff]

last question about fishing - is there a fishing merchant around anywhere?

[pliant crown]

i believe it would be wherever the fishing trainer person is but im unsure

i made a post on the forums last week that gearing is kinda shit because its a struggle to get lvl 1 gear

when you could just level to 10 instead

[keen cliff]

merchant or trainer is there one?

[pliant crown]

i never specifically looked for fishing stuff so i cant say for sure

[toxic elm]

The respawn algorithm for copper, zinc, and rubis is probably not yet tuned. It's clear that it's a nightmare to grab a few of them.

[pliant crown]

but all the other professions are that way

[keen cliff]

k. thanks. i'll let you all get back to copper discussion now

[pliant crown]

its also why it was weird they nerfed crafting experience for this weeks patch lol

[wide portal]

where are the patch notes posted?

[autumn junco]

Yeah, I thought that was odd. I don't think artisan leveling was getting out of hand but I don't have the numbers they have access to.

[pliant crown]

someone posted the ptr notes on thursday in one of the channels, there was a youtube video i saw that also read them off

but basically someone who had acess to the ptr said that it went from like 1k to 4k resources needed is what i remembered

[autumn junco]

They might be trying to adjust time it takes compared to how many players are participating.

[crimson escarp]

I think you can "craft" farming stuff at the farming workbench in the nodes. For example I saw that I could create blueberries with blueberry seeds, mulch and water. I guess it works the same way as the other crafting professions a the moment. Go to a crafting station and craft your farm produce.

[pliant crown]

have you tried to level a crafting profession? lol

that uses ores

[autumn junco]

Yes, im doing armoursmith. I'm talking about for Nodes using it to make buildings and such.

[pliant crown]

if that was all that was adjusted that would be different but the crafting professions themselves they made need more exp

or you get less rather

[winged olive]

Someone know where you can go to upgrade your gathering?

After reaching a new level I mean

[autumn junco]

Thats why the crafting proffession gear gives you more exp when wearing it.

[pliant crown]

found the post where the person talked about it #alpha-two-artisan-chat message

i dont know anyone who had level 10 in any crafting profession

but people were level 25

so i dont believe that it was a good decision lol

[autumn junco]

Yeah, everyone wants to be higher level and you have to essentially stop leveling your class to start on artisan stuff.

Also, misunderstood what you were talking about in regards to the amount needed.

[pliant crown]

hitting what is our max level before someone could hit lvl 10 in any crafting profession is pretty crazy difference

[autumn junco]

I don't disagree with you on that but I am saying the amount of people going for level 25 class level versus 10 for crafting is rather significant.

So, its hard to say without data.

Could be that pretty much no one was tryig to get to 10 once they saw how long it takes and decided to also start leveling class instead.

leveling class still takes long but it a lot more engaging.

[fading stump]

getting 10 was alot more doable before the latest changes, for example weaponsmithing took around 1k copper, now it takes 4k copper

[autumn junco]

Is that while wearing artisan gear that increases xp gains or without?

[fading stump]

without, with artisan gear before the update was like 930 copper or something not much difference, but the latest update just tanked the xp you get per common craft so its alot more horrible now

[autumn junco]

How long time wise would you say it took to get to 10 before change?

if dedicated to it?

[fading stump]

could do it easy in a weekend if copper spawns were proper and you found ample nodes, even with buggered spawns it isnt too hard just have 1k-3k people hunting down copper at the same time in the same biome so made it hard to do unless funneled from a guild. imo 1-10 should be fairly easy to achieve since all 22 can be novice and you need to get the nodes built up for apprentice and higher, its the 10-50 that should have a higher difficulty / longer time to level

[autumn junco]

Easy to do over the weekend, solo, was probably too quick for them. I know Steven isn't a big fan of power leveling and "rushing to endgame". They might of decided that the influx of higher level gear in the current state of alpha was also too much so they might be trying to slow the pace a bit. Also, I imagine with how it is now, once the map begins to enlarge more resources will be easier to come by. This isn't an agreement or disagreement with it, just my guess as to the why.

[fading stump]

yea they need to tone the levelling xp speed down to match the new artisan level now though, as atm with the new change you can easily power through levels compared to most artisan classes, by the time your artisan class catches up you are 2 tiers above it. i get phase 1 isnt a econimic /artisan focus but why change rates now instead of later on a wipe when thats the focus

[pliant crown]

no one was crafting anything but lvl 1 gear all the gear that exists is from mobs

[fading stump]

well unless the server was cooperating and building the buildings you couldnt anyway

[pliant crown]

if there was barely any apprentice stations for tools i dont expect there was crafting stations upgraded

[paper heron]

btw quick question, whats the tier after novice? for 10-20?
Apprentice?

[pliant crown]

yep

[lament shell]

Perhaps their ffocus was on the lvl 10-20 content, though outside of the artisan trees and they wanted feedback on that

[paper heron]

gotcha, im trying to navigate the wiki to try and find the recipe i need for apprentice ask but its a bit chaotic

[pliant crown]

wiki is kinda useless since it has things stated on it but not whats in the actual alpha 2 for a lot of it, and some of it is mixed together which makes it confusing

it has good information but not for playing the alpha

[paper heron]

yee thats what i was afraid of

[edgy idol]

have they made any statement about increasing the novice tier nodes for mining?

[paper heron]

although it does seem to list the crafting recipe, hopefully thats correct i guess

[pliant crown]

nope, complained about it each weekend and all they did was nerf crafting exp lol

[lament shell]

Any word on if Talents and folk will be updating the wiki as we go through the alpha, or are things too subject to change regarding the artisan trees?

[paper heron]

now on that note, anyone has experience on crafting for higher rarity?
Do ytou just add in for example only blue materials, and then the result is a gauranteed blue product?

or how does that work

[pliant crown]

i mean they said they increased tier 1 spawn nodes and reduced the time but it feels the same as weekend 1 to me

its a weighted system i believe

so 3/4 items are blue 1 is green you should get blue item

[edgy idol]

man its rough... maybe when the map is bigger it wont be as tough but right now its so hard to find nodes

[pliant crown]

but if 3/4 blue 1 is grey you mgiht get green item

[edgy idol]

the timer isn't the problem when the node comes back to a higher end item we cant pickup

[paper heron]

ooh gotcha, thats kinda promising, hoping to make a rare axe cus the durability goes from 250 -> 500 acoording to the wiki

thats kinda huge

[pliant crown]

im basically of the opinion if you dont want us to test crafting dont include it, and if so it should be more realistic

[paper heron]

now ill just have to somehow find a station that can already make apprentice stuff

to be honest i havent rlly run into any artisan issues so far yet, but didnt do much crafting yet

[pliant crown]

depends on your server if they have that specific station

gathering is actually okay

[paper heron]

the momebnt i unlocked artisan stuff i neglected my class though, every single point of exp past lv3 was from artisan commissions ahaha

[lament shell]

Yea, I see that point too. But the cool thing is that when the different stages of testing come and go, and finally upon release, we'll get to see the iterations that were made. I think that's kinda cool

[pliant crown]

and processing could use some work but seems fine, the balance of it is really wack, crafting is super mess

[paper heron]

ya i asked around but no1 seems to be responding so im afraid its not here yet

[pliant crown]

i just mean it is a waste of time if they dont want us to interact with the system but include it anyway

[pliant crown]

resna doesnt have anything for a few reasons, but one of them was outside the last 5 hrs, resna only had lionhold to get copper all weekend

[lament shell]

Perhaps I'm wasting my time then cause I've done a metric booty load of gathering and crafting lol. oh well

[paper heron]

wait wdym?

[pliant crown]

yea same

[paper heron]

ive been pretty much only doing artisan/gathering

but im enjoying it so

[pliant crown]

yea i like the gathering and processing process

[paper heron]

i love the side systems more than most combat stuff in mmos ahaha

[pliant crown]

i have an issue with the balance of the crafting part of it

[paper heron]

did they specifically mention that they ddint want people to interact with crafting too much as of yet?

[pliant crown]

which relates to gathering but its more of

[lament shell]

There's something relaxing about it. After a hard day of Slaughtering brigands and highwaymen, ahhh. piece and crafting.

[pliant crown]

havent said one way or the other

[paper heron]

ah just a steep curve for leveling or smth then?

the only issue ive had so far is the (for now) huge cost of silver when i want to get into animal husbandry

[pliant crown]

this period is more specifically for server and bug testing but since they have made changes to gathering/crafting stuff they arent ignoring it its just weird

[pliant crown]

yeppp

[paper heron]

hoping that when i can do t2 trees the copper gains will be better

[lament shell]

Ooph, yea I was running into that too. Apparently they've increased it too and I STILL don't have enough

[paper heron]

i got to like 50 silver so far, so im getting very close

[pliant crown]

money costs to craft item is much higher than buy from npc cost as well

[lament shell]

What do the tier 1 ready-to-train mounts go for?

[paper heron]

id say 5 copper? ahaha

to npcs

id ont know havent tried tbh

[pliant crown]

basically trainable mounts are worthless

[paper heron]

but everything seems to have the same prices to npcs for now

might be worthless but i dropped a wolf very ealr yon so ive been tunnel visioning on wanting to try and get a wolf mount

ahahah

[pliant crown]

because there isnt enough money to stuff into animal husabandry vs how easy it is to get trainable

[paper heron]

also i found some cool t2 taming stuff

borks i believe they were called

[pliant crown]

person on my server was selling t1 mounts for a little bit more than the price of animal husbandry training

[lament shell]

Only T2 stuff I've seen so far are the deer

[pliant crown]

and said no one wants beasts of burden

[paper heron]

and the wiki page mentioned smth abt pets/summons so i was hoping i could convert them into pets

ive seen bears, deers and the borks

[pliant crown]

we will see in phase 3? on the summoner or was it late phase 2

[paper heron]

oh theyre different from the class

[pliant crown]

deers, a raptor thing, and otter is t2 mounts

[paper heron]

or well thats what the article made me beliebe

oh wait ye i also found like bullywog toads & otters

[pliant crown]

costs for doing processing stuff is very high since it makes it so t1 crafts are just flat out more expensive than buying that t1 stuff rom npc

but that is easy enough to change around

gathering around the world feels nice i'd say

[lament shell]

Wait, can you buy bears, wolves, and cats from an npc?

[paper heron]

the noly thing which i do not like i guess is that processing stuff isnt actually worth it if u want to make money

[pliant crown]

just the items they ask for in crafting arent balanced to whats out there

[pliant crown]

in this case no

but like food potions gear and stuff

[lament shell]

Ahh, okay. Wanted clarification. thank you

[paper heron]

i know there's a npc which sells a horse for 66 silver

idk abt the others though

[lament shell]

That horse better make me breakfast and set out my clothes in the morning, damn

[pliant crown]

62-70+ silver to make 1 attempt to train an animal to be rideable or for caravans

50/50 shot

[paper heron]

i dnt rlly get it though, cus theres like static horse spawns which (it feels like) give a 100% horse drop rate

[pliant crown]

you could either blow your money for nothing or get the mount lol

[paper heron]

but if u get the mount itd be kinda cool

[pliant crown]

did it once got screwed

[paper heron]

not like im spending my silver on anything else

[pliant crown]

saw person was selling the mounts outright im like yea im not gambling another bag of silver

[lament shell]

At the end of the day though people like variety

[paper heron]

apart from repairs i guess

plus i want to get all the laters mounts too so ill need experience in it either way

is the wolf thing for the caravans atleast somewhat useful?

i dont rlly know what the caravans do / how they work tbh

[lament shell]

Once you train a mount (not a beast of burden) is it bound to you or can you sell it?

[pliant crown]

unless you got a big group/guild caravan runs may not be realistic

can trade it, its just an item in inventory

[lament shell]

Gotcha

[paper heron]

how come?

as in other people ganking? its pvp right

[pliant crown]

caravan runs are open pvp events

yea

and i'd assume the people who grinded to max level are the ones out there looking to steal caravan stuff lol

[paper heron]

yee most liekly

ims truggling in my guilds area already, let alone if i have to fight the grinders id assume ahaha

[pliant crown]

i heard people say it made them several gold when they successfully did it

but you can also just lose sevearl gold if lost

[lament shell]

riskit for the biskit, so they say

Has anyone seen what the difference between a common and uncommon wolf mount is?

[paper heron]

let me check the wiki

the wiki did include differences for f.e the gathering tools

[pliant crown]

i heard only 1 time that it made the same mount, but if it makes beast of burden better stats

[summer osprey]

People are saying lumberjacking isn't locked from T2? Do you need an apprentice axe or no and if so, where are people getting it?

[pliant crown]

depends on the server

[paper heron]

i just got told u cant mine t2 with a t1 axe

not sure if thats real but someone mentioned it to me

[pliant crown]

one of them has apprentice station to craft aprenntice axe

[paper heron]

like a minute ago ahaha

[hidden condor]

does armor have level requirements?

to use

[pliant crown]

yes

[summer osprey]

ahh, ty

[lament shell]

If the run speed was the same but it had a different skin I think I'd be fine with that. I'll keep my ears perked

[pliant crown]

lvl 1 armor doesnt say anything, but anything from 10 onward will tell you

[sly flare]

Wondering if anyone could explain the backpack system? I had a recipe for a level 2 bag or something now can't even find where to make it lmao

[pliant crown]

its more of tiers though

[hidden condor]

rip i was planning on grinding glint for iron armor at lvl 5

[paper heron]

i think u can see the recipes in like, the artisan overview thing if u find it under the correcttab (f.e smithy or tanner)

[pliant crown]

i believe iron is a 'journeyman' resource so it would be levle 20 armor i assume

[paper heron]

but you'd need a t2 station for it, which i dont think are anywhere yet

[pliant crown]

im unsure specifically for that but bags i think are tailor

and the station if it is tier 2 needs to be apprentice

wont show you on a novice station

[sly flare]

Ah okay so maybe i have recipe learnt but can't use was a green journeyman something, learnt it and was like oops forgot to read

[paper heron]

ye most likely!

[pliant crown]

i think this sort of system feels kinda bad if you want to invest a lot into it at the start of a server since an old server will just have 'master' stations everywhere i imagine

[sly flare]

Thank you! Do you know how to expand normal storage/backpack?

[paper heron]

from what i could tell so far you can use 3 extra backpacks, which are artisan related (as for the space they offer)
f.e when i got the lumber backpack (from an npc) it gave me 4 sloits which could perfectly fit trees in it, but it couldn't fit hunting materials shape wise

but ive only got novice bags from the vendors, im not sure how itll expand past that

[sly flare]

Ah i see, gatherinf specific and frees normal backpack. Tysm

[paper heron]

hm not necessarily

[sly flare]

I'll search for the vendors

[paper heron]

f.e snowdrop is 2 tall, which i could place in both the hunters backpack (which gives 4x4 spots) and the tree backpack (which give 3x1 slots)

its more of a tetris i guess

[sly flare]

Ah excellent! That makes sense

[ashen obsidian]

you can buy apprentice bags from vendors in nodes, which you can you use when you upgrade your skills. Those bags are 50 % biger

[paper heron]

technically speaking i think a hunter backpack can fit everything apart from trees

[paper heron]

ooh i hadnt seen those yet, looking forward to getting lumber bag then ahaha

[pliant crown]

think of any backpack can fit anything that fits, but if its a mining backpack the ore stacks can go from say 20 to 40

[sly flare]

Thank you!

[paper heron]

ooh i didnt know the stacks also get bigger

[sly flare]

Appreciated all, was a bit confused!

[pliant crown]

so if you find yourself gathering a lot of 1 resource getting that resources backpack will help since you can have bigger stacks

[sly flare]

So find the class specific vendor for the bag! Appreciated

[paper heron]

tbh

ive been severely limited by tool durability rather than backpack space

[mental grove]

I have not checked since servers opened yesterday; is copper being recognized now?

[pliant crown]

node merchants sell the backpacks actually

[paper heron]

but thats because i didnt realize ive been using the crude tools this entire time, they didnt actually give u novice tools

didnt get around to making the novice ones yet ahaha

so ive only got 60 dur

[sly flare]

Ah! I'll hunt him down ty

[pliant crown]

yea only one merchant inside the nodes

[mental grove]

It takes copper splinters and last time I tried to make splinters, it did not recognize that I had copper

[sly flare]

Thanks for help all

[pliant crown]

copper still an issue you can sometimes find it but i'd still put this under 'need too much for how much is available'

[paper heron]

ah speaking of artisan specific stuff, i noticed there were more slots for gear apart from the shirt, but ive only found f.e the lumberjack shirt, not the other slots which seem to be there too

[ashen obsidian]

vendor in Lionhold is selling basic bags

[paper heron]

are the other pieces of gear already in the game?

[paper heron]

oh hmm

[pliant crown]

im unsure

i havent seen the other pieces either

[mental grove]

I have found enough but when I went to convert it into splinters, it acts like I don't have any

[paper heron]

might just not be in then yet i gues

[pliant crown]

would say in that case to relog, or if you have say 5 uncommon, 10 common copper

you cant combine it together for 1 craft you need all 20 of one rarity

but other than that im unsure

[paper heron]

wait do u need 20 copper to be able to make a singular novice tool?

[pliant crown]

yes

[paper heron]

i figured itd be like 1:1, same with for example logs -> timber

[pliant crown]

thats why im always complaining about it

[mental grove]

Yup, I only have common copper. I'll check when servers come up

[paper heron]

ah i dont even have the copper i need for a single tool then, let alone a full set ahahaha

[pliant crown]

yeppp

[paper heron]

or i dont think id o

[mental grove]

Been focusing on leveling so I can go farm copper and not die to stupid low level mobs, heh

[gusty oracle]

copper the most elusive resource

[pliant crown]

i'd say getting to level 10 makes it easier to look around since you can more meaningfully handle the level 11-15 mobs near ores

[mental grove]

I almost wiped my group when we were otm just for some copper ;p

[pliant crown]

but also kinda rediculous you need to be essentially past the level range for what you're trying to craft to find enough lol

[paper heron]

the amoubnt of times ive literally spent 2 minutes running from like lv10 mobs is insane

esp cus they follow u from like lionheart to new aela ahahaa

[pliant crown]

it really do be just level to 10, get lvl 10 npc gear so you can make your own gear

[mental grove]

Oh, I have not tested those pink flowers since patch to see if they still use blink to chase you halfway across the node (literally)

[gusty oracle]

iv been gathering all day on the fresh start server... i have maybe 30 copper (im lvl 8 in mining) i require more xp

[pliant crown]

yepp pretty much the issue

if you were wanting to use that copper you found for a crafting profession that uses it [mostly weapons] you'd still need thousands more

[paper heron]

tbh

seeing as u can only master 2 of them anyway

maybe it was a good choice to go for animal husbandry

it might have huge silver cosst but atleast you arent capped by materials

[gusty oracle]

you can master 2 but get multiple to the next tier

[paper heron]

oh servers back

[pliant crown]

may as well get to level 25 so you can farm those mobs for lots of glint to pay for it

[mental grove]

How do you level a mount once you have one you want crafted?

[pliant crown]

think of the mount as a crafted gear item rather than leveled

[mental grove]

So keep crafting them and hope for one higher level /sigh

[pliant crown]

i didnt think moutns could have levels tbh

[paper heron]

hm the wiki mentions u have to level/train them

by running around with them, fighting etc

is that for something else then?

[mental grove]

I've seen lvl 7 mounts on lower level players and on higher lvl players

[pliant crown]

oh

so there is a reason to leave them out? lol

[paper heron]

hm wait let me try to find it

[pliant crown]

well my horse is lvl 1

[mental grove]

You can't fight from mounts so not sure how that works (unless they have to stay summoned)

[pliant crown]

so

[mental grove]

The good thing about more than one mount... if your mount dies, you can summon one of the others

[paper heron]

im not sure i jhust read this ahaha

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Breeding_mechanics

[paper heron]

ye the 10min summon feels like a huge punishment

esp when i was very far away from any settlemenet without broken tools

with

well we got scammed our realm is not up yet ahaha

[woeful kestrel]

Restart your launcher

[paper heron]

ah i figured itd just take a while and then i refreshed

[cedar turret]

Can someone please tell me where I can acquire animal husbandry? I saw some people said lionhold previously, but I wandered around lionhold for hours and talked to every NPC…

Is it only available after a specific quest?

[pliant crown]

sweat of your brow unlocks everything

[cedar turret]

I guess? I just hate wasting my time chasing this when I could be leveling 😂

If anyone knows, I’d really appreciate it

[pliant crown]

i mean like it literally unlocks all the professions and gives you horse

then just find one of the stations in a node or the one west of lionhold

its like 62-70 silver per animal

[cedar turret]

That’s weird. When I open H, under artisan, it doesn’t list animal husbandry 😕

And I don’t have any specific tools for it, and I haven’t been told how to use it

[pliant crown]

push P for artisians, its not a gathering profession it is a processing profession

[cedar turret]

Okay, I’ll do this soon. Where exactly do I go to… do the animal husbandry stuff? I don’t think sweat of your brow showed that off at all

[pliant crown]

west of lionhold there is a place called agriculture supply that has it

otherwise any node will have a novice station

you need hunter to occasionally get a trainable mount

and fuel is uaully going to be wood

[cedar turret]

See, I thought this, but I don’t think Castus has developed enough nodes for this yet 😅

[woeful kestrel]

If you recognize the area (west of Lionhold) the Highlighted icon is where you'll find the Animal Husbandry hut

[cedar turret]

Thank you very much

[cedar turret]

Thank you so much. I’ll do this as soon as I log in, I really appreciate it.

[woeful kestrel]

Sry, That icon

[cedar turret]

Yeah, I thought I was here to finish the snowdrop quest but I don’t remember any of the NPCs talking about animal husbandry

I will check again tho

[woeful kestrel]

The hut isn't marked, but it's a small pen/enclosure on the right hand side of that square

[cedar turret]

Priority one for me now, thank you

[woeful kestrel]

Keep in mind, it's not a cheap trade at the moment

[cedar turret]

Yeah I figured. I just wanted to go ahead and spec into it.

[woeful kestrel]

You're technically auto spec'd into all at novice level. You just have to work towards apprentice

(after the initial crafter quest)

[stiff nymph]

Quick question. I finally leveled my hunting up to apprentice, talked to the guy and got my cert upgraded and now it shows that I am an apprentice. For the tool, how do we learn the recipe to craft the apprentice hunting bow? every station I go to only shows novice hunting bow. I swear though I saw a screenshot of a person having a raptor in their inventory on my server.

[woeful kestrel]

Believe it should be right by the hunting lodge. Give me a min to check for you though since I'm close by

Hunting lodge only has Novice, as you stated. Only other thought would be a town hunter's lodge maybe...

[pliant crown]

some servers have upgraded the tool station for hunting bows to be apprentice and you dont have to find the recipee it just needs station level

[humble plaza]

Can you use a novice bow after becoming an aporentice, or do you have to upgrade your tools with your level?

[woeful kestrel]

You can, but you're limited to the novice lvl mobs

[humble plaza]

And do I understand it right, if I hit level 10 in something I'm still a novice until I go and upgrade my certificate from a tradesman?

Ah, the tool gatekeeps, not the cert?

[woeful kestrel]

Correct

[humble plaza]

Sweet thanks

[stiff nymph]

right but the screenshot came from a person on my server

thus why i am trying to figure out how it was done

someone just let me know that the raptor can be a drop though so i think thats prolly what happened

[sick stream]

where can you get additional material bags to go into slots 2 and 3?

[sick stream]

Thx

[hybrid swan]

at least snow gone and you can see the flax

[paper heron]

wait thought i would go to apprentice now

[hybrid swan]

you need to get certified

[woeful kestrel]

You have to upgrade your certificate at the logging station

[paper heron]

o oops

thanks!

[hybrid swan]

i am crafting novice sickle running out of copper in the bank

[paper heron]

oh no thats so far away

im in new aela ahaha

[hybrid swan]

🙂

[pliant crown]

oh it doesnt have a passive when green, good to know

[hybrid swan]

wasted heroic with green other bits

[chilly veldt]

where do i get cotton seed?? people are saying agriculture supplies but i cant find where he is, not listed on map and ive been all over

im in Joeva

[paper heron]

its here

im currently standing at the 3 buildings, the city on the right (grey quest icon) is lionheart

[ember ivy]

Anyone know with crafting do you need all the same tier resources to craft that tier? Or can you mix and match?

IE 2x Heroic and 2x Blue

[pliant crown]

you can mix and match i believe it is a weighted system for the item result

[ember ivy]

Ok awesome!

[pliant crown]

but if it needs 10 of one item

[chilly veldt]

oh its not in the node of JOEVA

[pliant crown]

it has to be 10 of that tier

[chilly veldt]

oh okay, i was mistaken that it was going to be in the town.

Kinda lame its not lol, just the cotton seed?

[paper heron]

oh btw since we mentioned it before, 1 copper = 1 copper frasgment @pliant crown

[pliant crown]

yep

hence why its 20 for 1 item

[paper heron]

ah u told me it was 20 before

oh does the item need 20 fragments?

[pliant crown]

yea

[paper heron]

i wonder why the wiki only mentions 1 though

[chilly veldt]

ty for help

[pliant crown]

coulda been intent but they didnt end up doing it for our current alpha version

if it was just a fragment or 2 it would be way better with current resources

[paper heron]

oh god its going to be such a menace then

im gonan run there just to check for sure though

but yea that wont be fun then

i need the certifcate either way

[paper heron]

anyone happens toi know where apprentice level trees spawn / what they look like?

i can only find ones that either can be done with t1 or t3

[pliant crown]

i havent seen them i think i dont check the trees much though

[paper heron]

hmm okay thanks ahaha

i crashed and now theres a 101 person queue on my server anyway so i guess its over for me for today

[pliant crown]

💀

[mild compass]

where do you process fish at

[chilly veldt]

so i cant make brass weapons until the stations get upgraded?

[pliant crown]

right, if you get that crafting profession to lvl 10 and upgrade it to apprentice you still need the node to upgrade the station

[vapid umbra]

Are nodes locked at village for now?

[pliant crown]

i think so

since we can only go up to lvl 25/journeyman anyway

[chilly veldt]

okay thaks

[cunning girder]

seal crates not working atm? or am I doing it wrong

[rough yew]

Is there some secret to finding copper and zinc? feels like theyre legendary resources theyre so rare to find

[woeful kestrel]

Low node spawn rate unfortunately

[rough yew]

unlucky

[dreamy skiff]

Does anyone know how the different rarity materials work when it comes to crafting? Do all of the materials involved with the craft need to be the same rarity?

[pliant crown]

think of it like a weighted system but you need the majority to be what you want

but if it says it needs 10 of an item

lets say for weapon it is like 10 copper, needs the copper to be all the same, but say if it uses wood as the other resource you can use a different rarity for the wood

[high oxide]

damn people were not lying about being no copper nodes or at least hard to find

[somber crown]

Yeah copper is so hard to find

[high oxide]

is there a deconstruct mechanic so you can get copper from white loot?

[lofty imp]

I think the rarity really depends on what therecipe is. Armor crafting needs all the items to be green to make green... but other recipes are more forgiving

[mighty pilot]

Milestone!

[somber crown]

I definitely think they need to add a tutorial quest for each profession eventually

[somber crown]

😮

[bright talon]

where can we get a novice pickaxe?

not the copper one, the one after?

[glacial crescent]

the issue is that copper can spawn in any lower node location. i mined a copper node. 10 minute later i came back and it was a Tin node. I have noticed that nods randomly spawn various ore and gems the issues with that, is now a LOT of the nods are higher level materials that most low level players cant even mine. it is seriously frustrating. i have spend hours running around and only found a handful of copper node. the mine node system needs to be overhauled. tbh.

[lofty imp]

does anyone know where the recipe for Juicers head is?

[bright talon]

where can we get a novice pickaxe?
not the copper one, the one after?

[somber crown]

Isn’t there a station in the nodes that has this?

[somber crown]

Yeah copper is very hard to find. I see endless basalt,sapphire, but hardly any ruby,copper, or zinc

[bright talon]

we got a smithy on lotharia server but it does not seem to have new tool to be made

[crystal leaf]

anyone have see this or find a recipe to this one ?

[ocean edge]

What level do you go from novice to apprentice?

[woeful kestrel]

10

[bright talon]

where to get apprentice pickaxe?

[woeful kestrel]

I haven't found out that one yet.

[pliant crown]

and @woeful kestrel it should be whenever one of your mayers in one of the nodes on your server does a commission ting where you upgrade the station that has, in this case, the pickaxe tool bench included to be upgraded to apprentice

[woeful kestrel]

Thx. Figured it would be that

[neat salmon]

anyone knows where the lumberjack trainer is

[woeful kestrel]

Top right diamond. East side of Lionhold

[neat salmon]

ty !

[woeful kestrel]

Yw

[neat salmon]

and the miner one

[woeful kestrel]

Mining trainer should be on the west side....

Top right diamond also

[neat salmon]

i just came from there i must have missed it

i saw the smithy one but didnt see the miner one haha

[woeful kestrel]

Should be the foreman, not the vendor

Oh....duh. Nm 🙂

Not sure about the mining one at the moment. Haven't found one yet

[neat salmon]

no worries !

thank you for the hepl !

ill focus on lumberjack for the moment then

found it i think a bit more to the north of the lumberjack trainer

[glass magnet]

How do you enchant the runes

[pliant crown]

there are runes?

but scripe has enchanting item

[tiny jacinth]

Is there a place to provide feedback for the artisan system specifically? or is dumping my thoughts here okay

[jovial sable]

anyone know how caravans and comodities you can buy with glint work?
i bought crates of apples, transported them to the next node but no idea where to sell for a profit
if there is any...

[serene jasper]

Where does one go to buy essence crystals?

[pliant crown]

best place is probably the forums

[glass magnet]

So when you actually wanna use the runes on teh enchant

[tiny jacinth]

got it, ty

[pliant crown]

node merchants sell it, i think the npc that is for alchemy/arcane engineering also sells it

[chilly veldt]

what are enchanted river runes used for?

[pliant crown]

there are specific recipees that will use them as a crafting material

[chilly veldt]

OH SO NO AVAILABLE CRAFTING FOR RN?

[pliant crown]

im unsure i assume the recipees exist just gotta get the mob drop

[quartz viper]

Hey all, dumb question... Is there a place where you can repair your artisan gear?

nvm.. I'm dumb.. lol

[lofty merlin]

how do you make healing items?

[pliant crown]

if you mean food and potions currently the npc price is cheaper than crafting price

but the hp pots are from the npc where he has arcane engineering/scribe/alchemy east of lionhodl

[gray flare]

Anyone know about how harvesting nodes work? if I pick a square area. and clear the trees. will those same tree, regen there.. or a random set of Trees ? wanting to find out, better to pick the ones or want, or clear an area to get the ones I want to spawn

[pliant crown]

unsure for trees i know that ores are within the same spot later on

[mild wharf]

Can anyone tell me the needed Mats for an Apprentice Pickaxe?

[rough yew]

yeah i once ran passed 5 large iron nodes and i was like wow. would be nice if i could lvl up to even use that

[tall kindle]

anyone have a good spot for farming cats?

[patent oasis]

it does affect the number at the end, even if not the color

[solid relic]

can someone tell me where to get apprentice tools?

[mild wharf]

Craftable at the In-Node built houses (Stoneworks, Woodworks, etc)

[solid relic]

ok, guess i dont have the skil to make them

[mild wharf]

I doubt you need a specific skill to see the recipes

[delicate jetty]

I know it's random but is there anywhere specific node wise someone has been having the most success finding rubies? I find every over gem so easy except them

which is funny given the tiering

[sharp galleon]

It's worth a bear mount over horse ?

[stiff nymph]

can i ask what were the mats required to make the pick?

[storm pawn]

Any idea when the cookhouse/hunting aprentice is going to be up?

[patent oasis]

for the pick, copper, oak lumber, and a basalt weapon mold

I'm pretty sure it's 10 copper, but idk the exact numbers on the oak

[stiff nymph]

good deal, thank you

[nocturne trail]

How do you enchant equiptment? I have a scroll but it wants another item other than the equiptment, what is it? Help?

[patent oasis]

you don't need another item

jus drag the gear in, then if you have enough coin you can enchant

it adds +1 to all the stats, and I think it bases the cost off of how high the stats already are

so enchanting armor (mostly accessories) is a lot cheaper than weapons

for instance :3

[nocturne trail]

whats the other slot then?

[patent oasis]

idk

probably some other enchantment item, I couldn't find anythign that would fit in that slot

[pliant crown]

oh you can enchant gear?

[pliant crown]

is it like you drag the enchant scroll onto the gear piece?

[patent oasis]

right clikc the enchant scroll

can pick from items in your inventory, or drag them from your equipment tab

no clue waht goes here tho

[scarlet hornet]

thats for the enchanting charms

[agile herald]

.

[visual minnow]

Does anyone know where i can find some cotton

[crimson salmon]

collect dafodill > collect poop > farming station > Textile station

[visual minnow]

Thank you!

[rustic viper]

Anyone know what drops the skins needed for Leathermaking? And also where to find Cotton?

[pliant crown]

gotta do hunter on grems

cotton is made through farming, you buy cotton seed and combine it with the dung

[rustic viper]

Thanks 🙂

[unborn escarp]

I have to harvest eroded granite but I can't seem to find the node for the quest: The sweat of your brow

[final pewter]

where do i find flax

[pliant crown]

basically you want fields where there is both white and yellow flowers and there is a small chance flax will be hanging out with it

[formal olive]

why is it that the husbandry profession cost way to much? 75 silver for a 50% chance at a mount or 50% chance beast of burden. The cost is to high for not being able to choose which one you wanna try to get.

[pliant crown]

want to try to find city with lowest taxes to help but it is pricey

[formal olive]

when every other profession only cost 3 silver then something is up for being a beginner level

make it like 30 silver or something but 75 is just nuts

[dark herald]

It would help me if I could rotate material in the inventory🙋🏻‍♂️

[lunar jewel]

is the xp per unit for processing suppose to be 50xp ea when it was 100xp ea last week? i know they said rarity of materials should also affect it but a test green processing also only gave 50xp ea

[formal olive]

they cut it down because people were leveling to fast or so i was told. I think it still takes to long on some of the professions

[rich hinge]

anyone know where to find the Herbalist vendor?

[hybrid swan]

@rich hinge

[slow meteor]

Is there a way to split stacks of items?

[hybrid swan]

ooh good question not tried

shift click

[slow meteor]

Nice, thanks a lot!

[rich hinge]

Thank you!

[dreamy skiff]

can anyone give me any intel on exactly how to use enchanted river runes?

[rich hinge]

im pretty sure they are used to scribe scrolls

[dreamy skiff]

ive tried to use them..but its not very transparent..is there a recipe you have to have in order to use it?

[rich hinge]

hummm at the laboratory near the farms i think you can just craft the scrolls at the scribe table here

i havent done it but thats what it looks like

I think every Novice has a set of things they can do without recipes and such

[dreamy skiff]

there is nothing you can do with the runes at the scribed table..ive been trying to figure out what to do with them

[mortal dawn]

Apprentice tools come from a recipe drop i take it?

[radiant dust]

So what actually is the other tiem i'm looking for to enchant a weapon

[rustic viper]

what does it mean, to Promote xxx Certification? Whenever I ask any NPC to do so, nothing happens

[radiant dust]

you gotta level the proffesion to level 10, then you can promote. at this start, this will be from novice to apprentice

[rustic viper]

Wow, ok so before that I can't use anything above the crude tools and can't harvest new things until Level 10 of that craft?

[summer osprey]

Anyone know if there's a place to make a novice fishing rod?

[radiant dust]

you can get stuff better then crude by crafting
but a number of resource types will be locked yes

but you won't be needing those resources for ages anyway

[radiant dust]

anyway will give INSANE slopppy to anyone who can answer this

[plush hound]

Damn I wish I had the answer SO BAD

[mild wharf]

Anyone from a server with a finished Stoneworks can screenshot the recipe for the Apprentice Pickaxe for me?

[swift crest]

same as the others

10 larch, 10 copper, 1 basalt weapon mold

[ember ivy]

Apprentice Pickaxe
10 Copper Fragments
10 Larch Lumber
1 Bassalt Weapon Mould.

[mild wharf]

Thank you both so much

[vapid ember]

are the copper tools the highest avaliable for A2 currently?

[mild wharf]

Tho the "Same as the others" wasn't THAT helpful 🫶 😄

[ember ivy]

Larch is north of windstead in high density.

[mild wharf]

I got plenty of Larch, but ty ;D

[ember ivy]

Im trying to farm heroic larch... 600 trees cut and not one yet lol

GOt heroic copper.. Heroic Mould...

[swift crest]

in my experience, the larch aroudn the edge of the map always drop white or green

find random adults within the main part of the map

[ember ivy]

I've got 15 Blues and a TONNE of greens

[mild wharf]

I got 5 Epic Larch.. wish we could mix different rarities of the same mat

[paper heron]

does anyone happen to know where i can buy the novice tool recipes?
I checked the gathering specific vendors, but they dont seem to have them

[ember ivy]

you can mix different rarities

[mild wharf]

I... will do that then..

fml

xD

[swift crest]

i chopped larches for over 3 hours on the edge of the map, best was green

my friends chopped adult ones right outside miraleth and got 5x yellow every time

[ember ivy]

did you upgrade your gear?

Artisan Loggin LEgs and Body?

[swift crest]

no, basic

[ember ivy]

Makes a HUGE difference.

[median fjord]

Ooo where do you get artisan gear for lumberjack

[ember ivy]

LOL as we speak

You get it at the lumberjack vendor

If you're over 10 def get apprentice

[median fjord]

Sweet, tyvm

I'm 8 atm

[ember ivy]

15... >.<

[paper heron]

the vendor is at the woodshop station right?

where u also get the certificate?

[ember ivy]

Yep.

[paper heron]

hm i dont think he had gears yet when iw as there

running back for it now

i just left ahhaa

[ember ivy]

The nodes

dOn't think lionshold has it.

[paper heron]

ah im at the station thing in winstead

[ember ivy]

That should be fine.

[ember ivy]

Lumberjack Vendor.

[paper heron]

yea he only has the shirt, not legs

for me anyway

[ember ivy]

ooo yeah that's only novice.

Need lvl 10 for apprentice and a apprentice node unlock

[paper heron]

when does something become an apprentice node?

[ember ivy]

When the town upgrades it.

[paper heron]

i am level 10 and the node is a village

or well winstead is here

oh hmm

[ember ivy]

Ask the server.

if they have one unlocked.

[paper heron]

ye guess i will

[hybrid swan]

Magic power need Essence of Crystal, i'm at the alchemy station but none of the vendor sell them, idea?

[ember ivy]

Try the node main vendor.

in the materials tab

[hybrid swan]

long way to go for starting alchemy

[ember ivy]

Ooooo

[modest wedge]

Yeh the Woodshop will sell the pants like this. Would help if the Lumberjack one wasn't in the air so I can't get to him 🙄

Was finally able to make my Axe at least

[hybrid swan]

hope they look like a lumberjack

nice

[ember ivy]

That rarity rating!!!

nice.

[ember ivy]

What spread of materials did you use?

[modest wedge]

All Rare. Not got enough Copper at higher rarities. Probably could have used a Legendary Mold but saving that for the Pickaxe when the building gets done

[ember ivy]

good call.

[modest wedge]

Now if this guy could come down to earth that would be great lol

[ember ivy]

LOL brutal

[hybrid swan]

where else would he be but up a tree

[ember ivy]

Wierd place to cut cood

[paper heron]

does anyone know where i can buy the novice lumberjack recipe?

ngl im getting really frustrated by this

surely the t1 recipes are just static and not server dependent right?

[swift crest]

like legit, its the adults not on the edge of the map

[modest wedge]

The Novice ones aren't recipes. You just make them at the crafting station

[paper heron]

is there any pre requisite for them?

[hybrid swan]

nope

[paper heron]

because theyre not showing up for me

[modest wedge]

Nope just need the mats

[paper heron]

and ima lready lv11

[mild wharf]

Your node needs to have the building for them

Stoneworks, Woodworks, the like

[modest wedge]

Only need Woodworks if you're making the apprentice ones

[paper heron]

oh my god its not in the woodshop

ive been lied to by the wiki all this time

[mild wharf]

Are you saying the Pickaxe is in Woodworks too?

[hybrid swan]

wooden shirt would be painful

[modest wedge]

Nah Pickaxe is Stoneworks

[mild wharf]

Nevermind, I mixed up Novice and Apprentice and thought your question was pointing at that

[paper heron]

do you know if these are static spawns?

[modest wedge]

Is it the Novice Lumberjack Axe you're after?

[paper heron]

well i want the apprentice one

but no node has it leveled yet i believe

so ill have to settle for the novice

literally no1 seems to communicate in the server i am in

[modest wedge]

If you go to here you can make the Novice one with the mats above

[paper heron]

ah but i just came from there

and it did not have the recipe

aaaaa

[modest wedge]

It's at the crafting station. SHould be a table

[paper heron]

i just ran back from there to lionheart

are u sure its not linked to like the node level or something

because its literally not there forme

[modest wedge]

The Novice one isn't as it's the basic one

[paper heron]

o wait

[hybrid swan]

zinc node party

[paper heron]

it might be there actuallyt

but it wasnt in the woodshop as the wiki said itd be

i dont recall seeing the building u sent a screenshot of

[modest wedge]

The screenshot I sent is of the Woodworks which needs to be built in a Node. There is a standard Woodshop NE of Lionhold by the farm

[paper heron]

but itd be called the same irght?

moment of truth, almost therwe

[modest wedge]

When you're there go to this station and you can make Novice

[paper heron]

thats a lie

[modest wedge]

Yeh the Wiki is way off

[paper heron]

to be honest

id rather nto have a wiki than a wiki with false information it hink

do you happent o know the recipe for apprentice axe too?

[paper heron]

that way i can just note it down for if at some point it gets upgrades

sweet tysm

i guess ill have to go farm some more rare copper

[ember ivy]

It's hard to find but possible.

[paper heron]

let alone rare copper just copper is hard to find isnt it

i was so happy i had managed to find 3 so far cus i thought i could finally make the axe

also gonan have to look into how to make the basalt weapon mold thing, havent sen that before yet

[modest wedge]

That's Stonemasonary. Just needs 1 Basalt so it's easy

[paper heron]

ooh gotcha thanks1

[gentle sigil]

Yes

[quasi schooner]

Cheers man, but yea, the game updated a few seconds later

[mild wharf]

This is gonna be the most mix&match'ed Pickaxe ever..

[hybrid swan]

grrr lost loads of mats 3 wolves 3 lvl higher than me hiding top of tree one 2 star alpha legendary basalt gone kept saved legendary snow drop o well

got back to body and dam alpha wolf was wiping his arse on my body

[paper heron]

ah this wont work will it?

afaik you need all items to be the same tier

[mild wharf]

I was told it does

[paper heron]

i dont think u can mixmatch tiers

oh really?

[mild wharf]

I will try it

[paper heron]

i thought people said u couldnt here before

[modest wedge]

If you mix it can go higher I think

[mild wharf]

I was the one who said

that

and got corrected

[paper heron]

ah

[modest wedge]

Some of the Crafting Gear has like +rarity on it which implies you can proc higher ranks

[mild wharf]

so I will try

[paper heron]

hmm i have enough copper than i believe

let me know if it worked @mild wharf

if it does ill go do the run from new aela all the way to the woodshop again to make my axe then

[modest wedge]

I don't think the Novice ones can get higher ranks by the way. I'm sure I tried with all Green and it was still Grey

[paper heron]

oh

[mild wharf]

I'm just preparing and transporting mats right now, We don't have the stoneworks done yet

And most likely won't get it finished this weekend..

[paper heron]

ah fair enough

[cyan locust]

to start on herbalism, should I stay close to town to gather? further out to get less crowded?

[hybrid swan]

i would just gather as you gathering quests you get to know where they spawn

[fossil jewel]

or use interactive map for help

[balmy ingot]

Are you seeing any speed increase from the apprentice lumberjacking axe? It supposedly has a ~150 rating instead of ~50 (novice), but I am not feeling the difference

[modest wedge]

Doesn't feel like it no

[fathom valve]

Anyone know where to go to get their certificate in fishing?

[summer osprey]

yeah its odd but the cooking trainer on the fishing dock

[fathom valve]

He didnt have the option when I went, ill go check again tho

[summer osprey]

going to the one north east of lions? by the mine and the lumber, north of the hunting station

not the vendor but out on the dock

[fathom valve]

Also is Western Larch always a gold drop?

[summer osprey]

no, but it does seem to be more rare than other wood

or more often rare

[fathom valve]

Only found gold drops from the few i cut down

[summer osprey]

lucky

I've got some greens and one stack of legendary

no known uses that I've found

[fathom valve]

just fuel?

for now

[summer osprey]

I'd bank the heroic stuff

[somber crown]

I just found that to get apprentice cert it’s level 10 in your profession skill? Not character level?

[waxen rock]

Hmm, how long does it take to get to lvl 10 apprentice usually? Few hours?

[modest wedge]

You need to be character lvl 10 as well

[opaque fog]

hav ppl found fishing trainer....im max out

[somber crown]

Oh good so my grind wasn’t all for vein

[somber crown]

I don’t know how hard the scaling gets up, but I know for lumber milling it took a full 50 stack job to get me from 59% lvl 1 > 92% lvl 2

So definitely more than a few hours

But i heard they nerfed professions xp considerably this last patch

[waxen rock]

Yeah I was thinking I could get to lvl 10 to craft myself a bronze focus but I think the day might be over before I reach lvl 10 apprentice

[opaque fog]

so artisan tools are not available?

[modest wedge]

Ah nice good to know. Maybe I used wrong materials

[patent oasis]

I did toss in a legendary mold in with mine, so idk

[last parrot]

how do pylons work?

do I just place it and interact once?

[tall kindle]

how do you pack a crate for a caravan?

[gray flare]

3 Slots for Timber and 4 slots for stone. is too much space to take up in inventory.. There I said it..

[patent oasis]

?

oh

buy a mining or lumberjack bag

they increase stack size

[opaque fog]

mining has a bags too and you can gather more as you go higer

[tawdry wagon]

does anyone else that the whole crafting loop just doesn't feel good atm? I see a TON of potential but it is just not good right now.

[opaque fog]

all whos looking on fishing trainer. Use scroll its hidden under

[desert atlas]

when traing a mount is there a way to avoide the 50% chance of making a beast of burden??

[ripe wadi]

i acidentally canceld it, rip 75s 🙂

[polar notch]

How is the artisan xp gains? It is worth it? Really don't want to grind mobs to progress... but I feel like i'll fall behind

[winged olive]

Where do you go to train a mount?

[tight cedar]

Does anyone know what to do with [Shield Fragment] (Rare) from Highwaymen boss Smithy? I am a tank and would love a shield...

[wheat mulch]

my experiance is - it's about 3-5 times slower then solo mob grind

[crimson fiber]

can you process any green/blue/yellow ores yet? I don't see a way

or wood

[gray flare]

think its just part of the stack, but UI doesn't differentiate

[crimson fiber]

will only let me process the lowest level materials

[gray flare]

can't select diff types green/blue/yellow etc. at the moment

[split delta]

Can’t you select rarity in the top right just over the stack size? That’s how it works for fiber.

[crimson fiber]

I'll try again. I can for like fuel but don't see a way to selectotherwise

[simple vine]

can anyone tell me where i can turn zinc into zinc fragments?

or do i need stone masory leveled for this?

[paper heron]

you need a smithy thing for it, theres a static one here;

@simple vine

does anyone know what difference the quality of a trainable mount makes?
Do they become faster or smth?

i just got my first green wolf

[simple vine]

okay weird, cuz he only lets me make granite and basalt fragments. do i need it lvl 10 for zinc etc?

[paper heron]

no, you need a different building for it

[simple vine]

or need a recipe?

[paper heron]

there's a building for zinc/copper and a building for basalt stuff

they're relatively close to eachother

[simple vine]

alright thx ima check it out again

[paper heron]

i believe its riught next to it, it looks like a furnace

[simple vine]

omg thx. i didnt see it cuz i jsut saw armory station. thx alot

[modest wedge]

Anyone notice the droprate of higher quality wood is a lot higher in and around the starting area? Every gather seems to be Uncommon or higher for me. Was nowhere near this high out in the world

[paper heron]

no worries, glad you managed!

[simple vine]

once this game releases ima burn out my mental health to become some gigachad crafter. and ill remember lord Cinque for telling me that theres a god forsaken furnace to turn metals into fragments

[paper heron]

[trail wyvern]

Is there a way to disassemble armor? THe amount of metal nodes in the world make grinding headbashingly bad.

[tidal vapor]

hi im noob

can i refine more then 1 logs at a time ?

how do i use the refined log for anything ?

is there a way to know what crafting recepies there are and where to get them ?

[winged olive]

What do I need to promote my herbalism once I get to novice 2?

Or maybe how many levels of novice do I need?

[pastel torrent]

10

[tidal vapor]

is there an auction house in AoC ?

[young bison]

Does someone know where I can get Cotton Seed?

[waxen linden]

flax and copper are way too rare -.-

[dreamy skiff]

I don’t have problems with flax. But copper is very rare. Ruby is sparse too.

And so is cotton.

[dreamy skiff]

There is a vendor that sells cotton seed and you farm it. At the farm station.

[stark smelt]

Where do you get cotton from? I've not found a single one all weekend

[wide portal]

Do you know if it's a guaranteed green if you use green mats to craft? And also do you notice any difference in gathering speed?

[wide portal]

Farming station

[stark smelt]

Thanks!

[wide portal]

aaand game crashed right after taking this screenshot xD

[median hare]

Are apprentice prof tool patterns world drops or node based?

[lilac minnow]

is there any way to get Apprentice tools?

[modest wedge]

Definitely feels the rarity droprate is bugged around Lionhold. Didn't even have any space for Greens 😂 Unless that's how it's meant to be and the rest of the map is bugged

[wide portal]

You maybe onto something. I do have a few heroic and legendary logs and im all but certain i gathered them around lionhold too

[gusty oracle]

does feel like more rare drops since the update yesterday but that seems extream

[left parrot]

I suspect that rarity increases with gathering level

But it may be with the level of the surrounding area

[modest wedge]

I thought that too but when I did some chopping In Eastern Miraleth I barely got anything above uncommon

[foggy wyvern]

They’ve mentioned in the past that there’s an intention of adding stuff to starting areas that will keep higher levels coming back. Maybe the rarity drop is higher in the starter area >.>

[grizzled coyote]

Anybody knows where to find Cotton or cotton seeds?

[tepid notch]

north + slightly east* of Church of the seven stars

You'll find a farmer merchant that sells cotton seeds

or, another direction, West of the textile vendors (forget the name)

[grizzled coyote]

tyvm

[modest wedge]

Looks as though the Server Restarts sorted this out. Back to getting Common 95% of the time 😄

[slow meteor]

I think they fixed it now

got the same before the update, but not anymore

[modest wedge]

Shame I couldn't find any Copper before servers went down 😂 In dire need of higher ranks

[ornate plover]

bro, i don't even know what copper looks like. lol i have been hunting for 2 days.

[south acorn]

What are the requirements to promote certificate on a skill?

[modest wedge]

Apprentice is Lvl 10 in the Skill & Character Lvl 10

[south acorn]

Does it work for hunter? I tried but just get the message that I'm novice 10 hunter 10 character level

[modest wedge]

Did you go to the Hunting Trainer to promote it?

[south acorn]

At that fishing dock? or is there another

[modest wedge]

I think it's there. Not lvl 10 Hunting myself so not done it. If you're lvl 10 Hunting and Lvl 10 Character it should promote the certificate

[gray flare]

I'd Love to be able to tab target harvesting nodes with about a 25m range or so, while I'm running by, so I can see if I want to grab it or not.
instead of running up on each node.. I know each node looks different. but I'd really like that.

[timid acorn]

Which node has apprentice bags???

I see the screenshot above

[modest wedge]

Any Node (Apart from Lionhold) there is a Vendor in the Market that sells them

[timid acorn]

From what I've seen it's all novice

[supple bramble]

I pulled a late night grind to Journeyman Mining hoping to get the Journeyman bag for added space.
I guess it isn't sold on the vendor with the Apprentice bags 😦

[south acorn]

Where to get apprentice hunting bow?

[modest wedge]

You need a Cookhouse in one of the Towns to be build I think

[south acorn]

Oh, ok thanks!

So it's a node thing

[modest wedge]

Yup

[hybrid swan]

shame

[loud plover]

Anyone know how to level arcane the most efficient? this skill is expensive af

[pliant crown]

just have some of the mats to make rare shirts so posting what they look like

[hybrid swan]

v nice

[hybrid swan]

mana r gen worth it for sure

[pliant crown]

didnt have the mats or recipees for all of them but its definitely worth having them for extra stats

[hybrid swan]

wonder if the stats fixed for each item or its random

hate when the bags are full and next gathering bring up blue item and you need to empty bags but what!!! grrr

[pliant crown]

finally tried an enchanting scroll, crazy

[hard apex]

anyone have issues with collecting processed materials? its saying my bag is full / warehouse is unavailable neither of which is true.

[somber crown]

What do ratings translate into?

[pliant crown]

i dont really know what quality rating means tbh

my guess is maybe it makes it so you dont need as many say blue tier items to make the item blue as you would normally

but its really hard to test anything lol

[sharp galleon]

Did you find any way to avoid it ? I've goten 4 beasts of burden and 0 mounts 😦

[pliant crown]

if someone on your server is specifically leveling animal husbandry they may sell completed mounts

as opposed to trying to rng your way

[somber crown]

Wonder if there is hidden ui that shows quality chance and all that

[pliant crown]

when you put items in it will show you expected outcome before you craft it, is how i got all those pictures, but other than that im unsure

[runic kraken]

what do you use as fuel for animal hubandry?

[pliant crown]

wood works

[pliant crown]

technically wood or flowers but wood

[runic kraken]

ty

[devout hedge]

Evening, is there any type of documentation on crafting/gathering? I understand the stations but how do you ugprade so you can chop different lumber/process it etc

[foggy wyvern]

There are artisan NPCs you talk to once you are level 10 to “promote” to apprentice

They’re around the map mainly around briarmoor farms

[devout hedge]

Ah, Thank you, need to grind to lvl 10 :).

[pliant scarab]

Wow profession clothes, I love it

[rain rain]

Anyone know where the mount trainer is?

[spark dirge]

where can i upgrade to apprentice hunting?

[neat salmon]

anyone knows where i can repair tools ?

[pliant crown]

any merchant npc

[pliant crown]

somewhere around here i think is the hunting npc, im not 100% certain just there is a lot in that area

[neat salmon]

i think i saw it there

but im not sure

[pliant crown]

what the above picutre has i believe is the argiculture supply which has that animal husbandry station npc i think

[neat salmon]

yeah that might be what i saw haha
