Right, with the influx of new players, I've finally decided to go and do it. I'm creating a level 1 biped, and I'm going to put a good portion of the focus on crafting on that character. This is mainly due to the fact no one tends to do much crafting for new players. Yes I know, all anyone has to do is ask, but sometimes there aren't many people on, or people aren't too keen on what they see as "begging" - so, I'm going to filter some funds down from my dragon main and get a character on Order specifically for crafting items to sell at prices people can actually afford - I'll need some feedback on pricing as I figured I could go from 50c for the lowest items to 150c to the highest.
I'll put the things on the New Trismus consigner, and once I have the character made (as s/he isn't made yet), I'll post the name as well. If you're in need of something, are a newly starting player and there's something you can't find, you can post here. If I can't get it for you, chances are someone who can will be reading this and can help you out if I don't have it.
In future, I'll get said crafter ready to work on plots as well but I'm not sure what direction to take it, and it will be a while.
Progress may be slow and I may not be able to replace your items to the next tier as I'll be focussing solely on "newbie" items and equipment, but again, if I can't do it, chances are I know someone who can.
The only bugger about this plan is there's no communal "planning pot" for people to donate coin into for unfinished projects or artifacts or something, as I'd prefer to do that with the money I make for this lark rather than lining my pockets with it, but I'm hopelessly quixotic like that.
Anyway, if you're in need, keep an eye on the New Trismus consigners; I'm going to start with outfitter and get the cloth and leather armour going, and then we'll see how I manage - I've got another character knocking about with other skills which I may also press into service.
Stay tuned!
