Why is it we need to go to our tables, look at the orders THEN go and grab materials from our banks THEN go back to our tables THEN complete the orders? We can already have materials pulled from the bank when we craft. I don’t see how bridging the crafting order gaps hurts the game or would make things too easy, it just seems like an oversight or some arbitrary rule that doesn’t need to exist.
It’s was/is a bug, I think. They’ve been working on a fix and it’ll be deployed with the anniversary patch on Oct 22nd. The fix will affect all crafting orders - patron, guild, personal and I believe posting orders too?
You aren’t forced to Skyride. You can take your ground mount wherever you want until you unlock pathfinding. Any quests that involve flying give you the option to ride the kiddie mount that automatically flies for you.
…what forced dragonriding? When you’re asked to fly to Dornogal, there’s a storm gryphon there that you can talk to that will pick you up and automatically fly you to the quest objective.
You’re not required to dragonride to unlock Steady Flight or get the dragonriding glyphs either, since you can Ride Along with a friend who’s capable of (…or, more likely, just doesn’t have a vendetta against) dragonriding and have them fly you to all the explorable map locations/through all the glyphs.
On topic: As Bearabletrio said, yes, the work order system pulling from the warband bank is coming on 10/22, when the anniversary patch releases.
