They need to make crafting more understandable and streamlined for people who don’t play world of professioncraft

The whole crafting system seems suspiciously designed to drive up token sales, imo. Particularly at the start of a season.

For someone who doesn’t farm gold or engage in professions this is completely accurate. Especially with the addition of weapon embellishments and doubled dark moon ascendance being a requirement for all caster specs

There’s no way to make it clear to folks who are incapable of or decline the option of reading what is already explained.

They could start with adding a tooltip that mentions what rarity of items will impact the craft and if it matters or not, because people are blowing boatloads of gold to use tier 3 materials for everything they craft.
I’ve been playing for 16 years so coming back to the new crafting was really easy for me to learn, but they really need an informational for new/less experienced players on where the npc is, what gear they can/should work towards crafting for PvE and PvP separately, and how to obtain the different heraldries that you can use. I can’t imagine trying to figure this isht out as a new player.

If there is quality to the craft, they always impact it. It tells you in the tooltip if there is a quality. So, that’s already in there.
The only thing that will make recrafting harder is if you use rank 1 or 2 missive and/or embellishment.
My irony meter is going to break today…
The rest of your post to me, just comes off as you being a troll…

It’s not that I don’t understand how, it’s that I despise the over complication of the profession.

It’s not over complicated in the least.

For the premium gear, it is going to be hard and require homework.
For a freshie 80 you can cobble them up some lowbie gear in minutes.
I gather mats in queue. I am silly with mats. You can, too.
To get access to TWW, you have had to go through DF. Meaning that you have done the DF campaign. Meaning that you have had several quest chains that explain all of these things.
They have explained it, it is explained via tooltips, and there’s even a button that turns on a “highlight”-mode where each thing is explained again. There’s multiple places and ways this has been explained, so… They have done what you are asking for and it has been in the game for almost two years now.
A new player would have an easier time to figure things out… because new players typically read and pay attention to the quests that they haven’t done before. This is entirely a self-inflicted problem, mostly by veterans who ignore to read quests, tooltip, or have too much pride to ask so they assume it hasn’t been explained instead.
I literally explained to you how blacksmithing works. Yet apparently “Pick between making armours, weapons, or alloys” or “read the tooltip” is something you still consider “too complicated.”
Professions aren’t overcomplicated. You are literally just refusing to read the most basic of tooltips in order to be obtuse of a system that is really simple.

Pretty sure OP meant the 250 valorstones required to combine fractures.

People are giving 20k commissions? Man where are those people on my server? Majority of them are afraid to even pay 1k and argue it’s too much.
To add to your post though, don’t forget, you have find the right crafter that specialized into what you’re looking for. Didn’t specialize in leather armor? Can’t craft the order with the optional reagents provided, unless maxed out.

I don’t know where you got that info from, but you can buy TWW as a new player, dungeon run straight to level 70, and start the silithus quest chain for magni then go to dorn after the khadgar nonsense in dalaran. Touching virtually none of the prior content. You may also have unknowingly been exposed to additional knowledge about the craft system by using professions than someone who has not touched professions at all. Maybe that’s the disparity? All I know is that as a quick learner and veteran player (who has never used professions at all besides legion engineering) I was able to figure it out pretty quick, however after figuring it out, it is by no means straightforward.

Needing 90 crest is what’s annoying.
Really sounds like a lot of the complaints would solve themselves if people took 5 min and read what all the knowledge tress actually do
… if you are a new, or old returning player and buy TWW - yes, you do in fact get access to a boost. But if you try to use it, you get two warnings stating that it is really advised that you level a character on your own first. One warning, and then a confirmation whether or not you really want to use the boost despite the warning.
No, a new player (or an old returning one) CANNOT use the excuse of “I had no idea this was a thing” when the game has several warnings explicitly stating that it is advised to NOT do it.
Here’s how straightforward it is:
- Get the profession from a trainer.
- Open up your profession.
- Make something.
- Train from the trainer (until you can get to 25 Skill points).
- Click the specialization trees and read the blurb.
- Unlock the specialization you want to unlock.
- Read the specialization nodes you have access to.
- Allocate the points to see what you can do with 'em.
- Spend the allocated points, locking 'em in place.
Voilá! A 9 step program from the moment you pick up the professions to when you spend your points. And you have played through an entire expansion where the main storyline explains all of this with even a summary at the end in Valdrakken. Not to mention most folks pick up their profession when levelling. No idea if that’s a norm anymore but safe to say, even if it ain’t, Dragonflight’s Artisan quests still mean that folks get an explanation as to how everything works, in addition to everything else I already mentioned.
They would, but for some reason that seems to be “too complicated” … which is a bizarre claim to make since that insinuates that whoever finds it complicated find reading to be too difficult of a task to be an expected norm.
… a claim which only gets weirder the moment one realizes people are making these claims, whilst on a forum, where you are expected to be able to read and write. Bizzare, aye’?
