IDEAS FOR RYZOM

I do not know if it has been adressed before, as I have not seen a title to such, but ...

I am wondering if it might be possible to make Generic Crafting Materials tradable.

I KNOW of a few players with FULL crafting masteries, that have excess Generic Crafting Materials on hand. I would LOVE to be able to buy the materials from them to work on crafting. I use all I get, to someday master crafting myself, but never seem to have enough.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BUY Generic Crafting Materials from other players, whether in person, or at the merchants.




thank you in advance for your consideration.

+1, got several tons of generic (q150 and below) to share with beginner crafters, lying on my toubs for no use.

but one can't share / give gen mats to others, can they??

sadly no

Hopefully they are not tradable. They are already making crafting grind way too easy.

Very true.

i must be doing something wrong ...
... craft " grinding" ... is VERY MUCH a grind
... for me
.... anything that would make it a little easier (tradable GEN MATS) ....... would be Greatly appreciated
... I would LOVE to buy gen mats, if I could
.... from anyone wishing to sell them
.... I would pay well for them




.... lots and lots of crafts to level ......


XD

I agree.

You can buy it for your Elyps or Civilization points.

for Elyps?? hmmm I like that, would you know who the Tryker Elyps trader would be?


:)

look in fairhaven bar, near the merchants. he has a blue dot over his head. he also sells things for nation points. you can buy potatoes with either nation points from occupations or elyps from events and daily missions. But honestly, digging them will be faster to get a craft master

The gains are not "too easy" if you have to think or learn how to get them then put in effort to actually get them. I would argue that it's actually harder to figure things out than simply remove options and take all of the thinking and learning out. Simply forcing everyone onto the same path by removing options makes things easier, though less fun. If you're worried about things being "too easy" then you should welcome the difficulties of figuring out options instead of advocate for their removal. I'd say that having people figure things out adds the type of difficulty that keeps people engaged whereas "back to basics" would strip Ryzom of the depth, flexibility, and mental engagement that makes it interesting.

Regarding trading potatoes specifically, while I generally oppose making things difficult for the sake of just being difficult, I feel that Elyps and Nation Points are easy enough to earn that I have no problem with potatoes remaining non-tradable yet difficult enough that it's still trading one form of work for another instead of an absolute gift like some seem to think. It just seems "too easy" because it's not the way it was done pre-Merge, and change is bad.
