Hate to be the one to say it, but XP in PoFire is crap compared to most other zones (especially) PoValor. Povalor I am able to grind out an aa every 2-3 minutes on my monk, in pofire i'd be lucky to get 20-30% aa 2-3 min! The HP is really high and theirs not really enough of an xp mod to make up for it. I know that theirs a higher xp modifier in pofire (4x i think?) but still..
My point is, I can't see anyone killing in PoFire other than to just grind out these items. I see what you're saying about the patterns, but idk. It was just a suggestion anyway. I'm just worried that lots of people won't even bother doing their armor quests because of how hard it is to get the pieces you need. I was in PoFire for a good 3 hours, maybe 4, slaughtering field 1 (all of it) for that whole time. I only got about 11 metals, 8 leather, 8-9 chain and about 8 silk. To get a full suit you need 32 and that's if you don't fail

On the other hand though, I see what you mean with trading and it's good to allow more player interaction. Could you lower the fail rate on the blacksmithing part a bit if you dont think that adding the NPC is a good idea?
