[2022] [Focus Feedback] Crafting Station Tier Changes

Greetings Adventurers,

We have introduced a few new changes to Crafting Station Tiers!

Crafting Station Tier Changes

We are making two major changes to improve the Trade Skill leveling experience:

• The Forge, Outfitting Station, Workshop, and Arcane Repository now offer Azoth discounts for relevant recipes.
  • Tier 3 = 20% discount.
  • Tier 4 = 30% discount.
  • Tier 5 = 45% discount.
• Certain recipes will no longer be gated behind tiers:
  • Crafting Stations
    • Most procedural weapon and armor recipes.
    • Arcane Repository - Stat potions (Health, Mana, Regeneration, and Focus) and elemental recipes.
    • Kitchen - Health and mana foods
  • Refining Stations
    • Tier 3 unlocks - Recipe level is less than or equal to 100 and not legendary.
    • Tier 4 unlocks - Recipe level is 150 and not legendary.
    • Tier 5 unlocks - Recipe level is 200 or legendary at any recipe level.
    • Stonecutting - All gemcutting is no longer gated, but gem fusions remain gated behind relevant tiers.

The team has posed some questions; please feel free to copy and paste the following as a template:

• Did we achieve our goal of freeing PVE crafters from being dependent on the Territory Control winners to allow them to craft?
• Does the increase in territory revenue create enough of an effective replacement incentive for companies to upgrade their stations?

Thank you for your help!
