I put a craft order for my prot warrior a ilvl 658 one-handed mace and now I have all the mats to recaft it to ilvl 671 with the item level increase. Only issue it needs to be a guild craft or I trade someone to do it.
My guild is pretty casual so no one can do it and I try asking in trade chat even offer 35k but no takers…
Why can’t blizzard made recraft a public work order just like how we can put ina public work order to craft our weapon?
I presume they made that decision because people would absolutely freak out if they posted a recraft and got back a lower level item than the one they sent out. Personally, I wish that was an option because of all the PvP pieces, but I understand why they would be worried about people not reading.
You mean like if you put a public order with max rank mats that could get you a max ilvl item, but can still be given a rank 3 or 4 piece of gear because the crafter isn’t max skilled yet but crafted it because they could?
Yes, there are no quality minimums on public orders so if you could recraft a r5 you would risk winding up with an r3 or r4. PvP gear, this doesn’t matter, which is why I wish the option was there, but I suspect it isn’t as a protective measure.
I don’t put in crafting orders very often but I am a big tipper when I do simply because I think the crafter should be compensated for there time and they are doing me a favor.
Usually a 5k to 10k tip depending on what I am asking for. If it’s crafting gear I cheapen up a bit and do 2k but I provide all my own mats that I am able.
Sheesh, and I thought it was generous to tip like, 3k since it’s basically just hitting ‘craft’ and being done with it with my 3 star mats being provided.
On topic, I’m not sure? Kinda the same reason why I don’t get why you can’t set crafting quality on public orders but you can on private ones. It just seems like a weird and arbitrary limitation.
I was going to say that it’s because skilled crafters can provide finishing reagents but you can do that anyway.
I think receafts should be “it stays the same ilevel or goes up” and for public orders “if you can’t recraft it at a higher ilevel, you can’t do the order.” I feel like that would fix the problem and people like the OP could actually get recrafts done.
Some things I would completely agree, but this system is only two expansions old, and that requirement exists on personal.
But the difficulty of implementation isn’t the question. Why they didn’t add this from the start is what my curiosity is driving at, because the lack of this requirement has caused issues.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a public order to be done, and I’ve been doing patron orders once or twice a week since the drop of TWW, on every profession. Not sure why, could it be because no one who wants a 5 star craft would risk their mats?
