Title: Blacksmithing and Weapons Making levelling issues
Post by: Karst on November 13, 2006, 06:12:17 pm
Got two questions to toss out there ;D
1 -  a little question to all the crafters - when it comes to Blacksmithing, Sword Making, Knife Making, and Shield Making, has anyone hit a level bug whereby you no longer get any experience for those crafting items (something similar I suppose to the metallurgy levelling issue) and so do not level up anymore?
2 - for the devs and such - is this a bug, and if so, has it been reported as yet?

No this isn't related to Metallurgy, strictly Blacksmithing, Sword/Kinfe and Shield Making  :-\

it isn't a bug. it is a feature. the system was designed so that you don't get experience for grinding simple tasks. beyond a certain level or so.

I can understand and appreciate this, but there is always a means of increasing experience available for a given craft - for metallurgy not getting experience for melting did not mean you didnt get any for casting....At this point I get no experience for ANY crafting task (related or unrelated to Sword making) - hammering, sharpening, assembly, whether with alpha OR beta blades....Seems to me that - as with metallurgy - there should be SOME means of increasing experience, even if it's jus the fianl assembly part (similar to the casting aspect of metallurgy) ::|
