I could have sworn you said your problem was that you wanted it at 382, which requires the titan matrix

LF Recrafter for [Item] 5 star pst!
Getting r5 is really a non issue. Its not hard talk to people in trade and send personal orders.
The shortcomings of the system is people trying to increase their skill and knowledge need to make alts for sparks and fufilling their own order weekly.

Do you think we will get sparks weekly now or was this week a one time thing?
Sparks fron alts is one thing but the primal stuff is gonna take awile
The first 5 sparks (including this one) are every 2 weeks. The first spark quest spawned on the 29th, second on the 13th (with the opening of the raid), and this third one on the 27th. Once the 5th spark has been unlocked, they will become random drops from a large variety of dragon isles activities, similar to the way legion legendaries worked.

Thank you for the info we already know hunter I wasn’t talking to. Since the 3rd one was stealthed in are we still getting one next week or week after next?
I believe jan 10 jan 24 are the last quest dropped ones, then on the 24th they should become random drops. This is the same day of the creation catalyst

The 3rd one was not stealthed in 
It had been 2 weeks since the last spark.
Yes it was and it wasnt on the maps like the others. Only reason I knew about was from wowhead or someone
The biggest problem with why Blizz sucks at implementing “systems” is that said systems are NEVER designed to be fun. They are designed to be grindy and extend a player’s time in game. Those who shot to the top early on with beta knowledge, exploits, etc. are now running the market on a system that is deliberately timegated and sloppy. Blizz somehow thought crafting orders were going to be some kind of answer to their BoP crafted gear, but instead, we get this gimped system that is missing about a dozen features that keep it from being useful to 99% of the playerbase.
So now most of us are stuck using our alts to complete weekly order quests and simply crafting for ourselves and our guilds. Between the crafting order system, massively timegated and unbalanced professions, and the region-wide commodities, professions are absolutely DEAD in terms of making gold for the majority of players. The supply of most commodities far outweighs demand, which causes most things to be sold at a loss. If you don’t have a gathering profession and spend tons of time farming mats, good luck.

Now that professions feel like actual professions and they’re useful people are pissy. When they were useless but easy to level, you all were also pissy.
So what exactly do you all want?

I feel like an easy fix for this is for blizzard to make some rng orders that NPCs put in so people can finish their crafting order weekly. Like have NPCs ask for fluff crafts (toys, pets, item enhancements… Etc.) That way people can consistently level and power their crafting knowledge without the massive fall offs a lot of people are having.

The problem is that rarely anyone is using the crafting order system. If it were actually useful you’d see the order table full of requests but I (specifically tailoring) am lucky to see 1 at any given time unless I request something.
Tailoring is a good example. I thought I would see LOTS of orders for 34 slot bags for cheap commissions but they’re cheap enough on the AH that no one requests it therefore making the crafting order somewhat useless for a major part of tailoring.

According to Blizzard devs, plenty of people use the public work order system and they qualify it as a success. The problem is that fulfilling orders is trivial so stuff with a decent number of crafters gets almost instantaneously completed so we hardly ever see anything on there.
Maybe Blizz should allow people who want better than 2-3* public work orders to put a minimum listing time of something like 15-30min and award the craft to whoever can make the highest rank and tries to pick it up within that time, the caveat being that bidding for a craft locks up your ability to bid on other public work orders for the remainder of that time and the 30min craft window when you win the contest.
The 20g fee plus the hassle of going to the out-of-the-way work order guys plus all the clicking you have to do to set your order up, none of those things are a lot but they add up to more than the razor thin margin the AH offers - so buyers will always choose the AH unless there are literally none on there, or for BoP items of course.
That is the issue and the lame loop hole Blizzard uses to justify their shoddy design.
You handcuff one thing to another… that other thing will always be used because YOU HAVE TO USE IT. So they’ll ignore criticisms and pat themselves on their backs.
They do this constantly.

I didn’t cheat or exploit or do any of this and I am doing extremely well with the new crafting system.

Why should I provide the ink for your KP when I don’t even get a skill up for crafting it…There is no benefit in it for me to provide the ink at the crafting order table. The problem is that the ink is not being provided, the problem is
THE ONE POINT you get for the 2k it cost you in mats.
This is the true problem.
The cost outweighs the rewards/benefit.
That is what is wrong with Dragonflight overall.
If you are on a low pop server, you are just plum out of luck in general.
.thanks blizz.

Adding quality to the public order system would fix that, however, if you are on a low population server, it is very possible, no one can make it, but moreso, we are lucky to see even 1 order in public orders across the board for all professions…I don’t care what blizzard says…the crafting orders just aren’t there.
There are less 1,568 active players on my server as of 1/31/2023…

No it just needs to be tweaked here,
