Solo Aura Quest, Tradeskills and the new Bazaar afk bonus

Post#1 » Mon Oct 25, 2010 3:31 pm

The combination of the three items above could actually jump start an economy here.

Make the trade skilled items required in the solo aura quest and the necessary material drops trade-able and thus able to be sold. The only real bottleneck in the quest is the trade skill portion and there's no real reason to have every character on the server with 300+ in blacksmithing and tailoring.

This would bring back that time of people working alongside each another akin to the old Earring of the Solstice quested/crafted item back on live. Likewise it would benefit the trade skill people that would rather not farm as well as the farmers that would rather not trade skill not to mention opening up transactions just for the combines etc etc etc.

Well some good points, however we don't want every character on the server to have 300+ TS, only those who wish to complete the aura quest.

The TS ingredients were tradable for a few days, and then it took basically 1 hour to finish the quest (why it was changed).

The idea is great tho, but most probably not in this scenario. We do plan to implement similar quests to aid our economy tho.

I have to agree with Brace, this is a solo aura quest, and not the time sink the server population was expecting. Face to face that quest took one hour, but behind the scenes, im sure the farming took a bit longer. 1 person spends hours on end to level their tradeskills, 1 person spends hours farming, and 1 guy with cash pays for the mats. Yes he may complete the quest in one hour, but he purchased time invested by others.

I know this aura quest was not intended to be easy or to be completed in a short period of time. So this argument will only be a good one if this quest is considered more casual and less "Epic."

25.6 hours (master 3 skills average time) if you tradeskill like I do. which is nonstop.
Considering a lot of people use that to make the kael armor before they can farm there and then so they can craft their fire armor without having to beg others. Its not to bad.
