Artisans

[kev86]

Will artisans have to fight in order to level? Would it be possible for a friend to do the fighting, bring you materials and books, etc, while you make stuff?

Yes, you can get a friend to bring you matts, or for example:
I give you matts, then I say: Ill giev you 20k if you make it.

NO you do not have to fight to lvl, by making items you get expirience aswell so you lvl up. the better the item you make, the more exp you get =)

From what little I have played global and trying to be a artisan I found out you can not always rely on friends to bring you items if they get tied up doing their own thing. I have tried to use my skill points for farming cooking and bowman ship and it seems to work out OK. I worked on getting my skill and levels up hunting then started to use my skill points for farming and cooking. When I run out of items I need for cooking I mainly go for the monsters that give theses items and it helps with my levels and is cheaper than buying the stuff from others. Plus it helps not to be so boring cooking and farming all the time LOL. Thats just me though if you have good friends your way may work just as well. And leveling up as an artisan seems to take longer than hunting to me.

Yeah! I have an idea.. every person that plays and when they earn there first 100k send half to me. When I am rich and have great equipment I will level really high and when I get level 100 every one who sent me 50k will get.. 51k! You make a guarenteed 1k profit!!!!!!!! Kinda like interest at a bank.

(This was like a joke kinda... but.. if anyone actually does want to do that lmao.. go ahead and send)

a better idea is to make quality items such as not having your mind set on making that strong leather armor but that bone armor that requires 15 books if i recall.. Soo you have start up money from your main character then you read 20 books not 30 since you need to be lvl30 to read 21books+
Why 20 you ask and not 15?
Yes 15 would be cheaper but you want to beat the competition and make good strong items, You need lots of sklills to make good items

Instead of having a crappy bone armor with 15 skill, you can have a avg or above one with a skill of 20 making you more money and selling it faster

I agree.
too bad manufacturing doesn;t take any skillpoints, it removes the effect of you being the best in 1 / 2 qualities. It is also fun thuogh, because you can make a PD taht can amke everything, if you have financial support from guild/residence/alt's =)
