Grats to ME on getting master weaponsmith!

[Ortunga]

Heh

I know 99% of the population dont give a damn about player crafted weapons, but the remaining 1% might be pleased to know that I broke the 800 mark yesterday meaning I can make all weapons currently available in this patch. Worthy of note esp to shades is the diamond guarded rapier, slowest piercer and according to Aeiedel, adds a nice amount to PA compared to the quest dagger, or something...anyway its good.

 

[Elric IA]

As someone who has reached 500+ in weaponcrafting I have to congratulate you on your patience.

Whilst lately I have been having fun levelling, I do craft when it is quiet or have things going on in the background meaning I cannot really go hunting. Now that I am on Tier 6 materials, I not only have to run and get them from further away (or stock up in Innis when I am down that way) but also the skill gains are slow in coming. Both of these lead to a slowdown in rate.

I have also noticed that the profit margins seem to be lower with carbide weapons on tasks and I am sure I was making more money on cobalt (or is it the bulk buying meaning my cash is tied up in materials).

Anyway, with the speed 1.48 patch is coming out I may be at 800 skill before I have to worry about Tier 9 materials LOL.

The next patch and the tier 9 and 10 materials mean that the ping-pong fort Dun Crauchon will need to be held a bit more often as I believe that is where they are sold. Even more of a run now unless you get them and then run down to the bowl naked taunting albs!

Anyway, congratulations again. If spellcrafting does ever come in, then player made weapons will be sought after once more.

 

[Ortunga]

Actually the 9-10 tier materials are sold in relic keeps, which is a good thing because crafters take on a new role of relic guards

 

[Elric IA]

I believe our relic keeps are nearish the entry forts. Even so, the help of a few guildmates may be required especially with the lovely Midgard and Albion people who camp the road shooting people.

Certainly, any dedicated crafter character who hasn't levelled much will have a lot of trouble getting there.

Hopefully, everyone will realise the importance of crafters and help to defend these keeps, make them harder to take and keep the routes clear of invaders.

Gratz m8.. well done..
I've been working on getting my weaponcraft up past the 500 mark (which I did) and I can now officially be called mad .. like you

Weaponcraft is the toughest/lengthiest/most expensive of all 4 crafts, then armourcraft, then tailoring and fletching and I kinda know about this because I raised them all to respectable amounts. (800+ armour, 500+ tailor, 500+ weapon, 300+ fletching)

Think I'll be joining you in your relic defense initiative ort

 

[old.Souledge]

Nicely dont m8

My alt may be calling on your services soon

 

[old.Kainz]

Well done Ort, thats some achievement lol. I went beserk and gave up at just 400 wepcraft. Dunno how you managed it lol.

 

[Alrindel]

From one (Journeyman) Weaponsmith to another, well done!

I'm stuck at 658: with no more tasks to do, it's hard to get a couple of hundred gold together to do a bit of crafting now and again, especially when the pesky albs keep banging on our keep doors and I spend it all on wood. I hope to pick up again when I've gotten higher level so I can get more money off the mobs I hunt while exping.

 

[Mikael]

Oh my, very well done Ortunga. But pls do continue to craft that skill up. Since with the upcoming lvl 50 epic armors the only thing that will bite on them is the lvl 51 high qua crafted weapons. So you can expect me to be one of your costumers sooner or later

 

[old.Zarko]

Well done mate!!

I kinda gave up when i reached Weapon Crafting 201, and you told me how long time it took to asembly a weapon at your skill level..

But be sure that i will be waiting in qeue when you can make a 16,1dps spear..

If you need anything, send me a tell...

Once more grats and well done you crazy man!!

 

[Feldegast]

Hmm no wonder everytime I see you its near a forge

Extremely well done!!

 

[old.giriam]

hmm.. so all the "No thanks, im crafting" by the forge at innis havent been a total waste then

grats!

G

 

[Perplexed]

Grats

And well done to Merbos too, who hit 800 fletching last night I believe

Ortunga hits some random alb / mid for an insane amount of damage with his sewing kit!
That's one message that I'd like to see

Congratz

 

[old.NorME]

Lets hope he uses his "smith's hammer" instead it does alot more damage

 

[old.Mr Gnarf]

congratz

btw, im looking since days for a craftsman or woman, who can make me a nice large weapon (great sword or something) for my lvl 30 lurikeen champ. where are u guys all the time ). is there a secret crafting place besides tir nan og, which i havent found yet?
its really a pitty that u cant have NPC-player-run-vendors like in UO.
well, hope it wont bother, when i try to contact some of u crafting experts

--Milram--

 

[Alrindel]

After a crafter reaches 650 they can't do consignment tasks any more, and since they can't buy the materials they need to continue gaining skill in Tir Na Nog anyways, there's no reason to go there any more. They usually go to Innis Carthaig down in Lough Gur where merchants sell crafting materials for the higher levels.

Apart from Ortunga and I, I don't even know how many Hibernian weaponcrafters are 650+. Eventually when GOA gets the Camelot Chronicles running it will be possible to see the names of all the high level crafters on their web site, or type /who weaponcrafter in game to see who's available.

At any rate, give me (or Ortunga, but I'm sexier) a message any evening, I'm usually around somewhere.

Ha ha, I have hijacked Ortunga's gratz thread to steal his business!

 

[cjkace]

Gratz Ort.

Congrats Ortunga and thanks for the masterpiece diamond broadsword.

You know where to come if you need a sponsor.

 

[Eblessair]

WD!

 

[Aeiedil]

grats ort the rapier is being used to great effect so far it has killed Xuthos among others

PA cap with lvl 40 epic : 516
PA cap with diamond guarded : 570

need I say more? (this is obviously with my spec, probably different for different people, but should so similar increses )

 

[old.Elrohir_CBH]

Im one of the maybe few who does belief in player crafted stuff and im glade you made it , im sure to pay your shop a visit from time to time

And gratz ofcourse i have seen you sitting alot at the forge you deserve it

 

[Elric IA]

Definitely correct about Alrindel's post regarding the location of crafters. Up to 650 tasks are based in Tir Na Nog even if the material is not so it is a real pain but I would suspect that you will find a crafter of up to 650 skill there (unless they are powerskilling their weaponcrafting in which case they would probably be at Innis (I know I would be)). Whilst, you don't get tasks past 650 skill, I actually look forward to crafting in Innis as it means i am not running around Mag Mell/Ardee getting material in bulk so that I can do a few tasks at a time in TNN. That will save me time if not money.
