Adjust loottables for workorders =)

[Mithni]

Hey there,

please adjust the loottables for workorders. It was kind of silly to get a Brownroot Chew or a Hoarmint or other hand held diplomacy items of lvl50 workorders (especially when you had high level diplo gear already, I never used that stuff =P). You always had to spend more than you got out of doing workorders... well sometimes you got crafter tools, which were quite nice, but most stuff you got didn't motivate you to continue workorders, boring as they were already =D

Greetings Mith

I second this.

Yes this would be very nice, replace that diplo trash with crafting trash, so we can still sell/repair gear but also use some of it for crafting

I believe these loot items were added long ago to get people into all three spheres. if you don't need them, then just sell them! You could get adv or crafting items from diplo as well.

Actually I wasn't talking of removing diplo stuff completely, I was talking of sorting the loottables, so you might get nice diplo items of high level workorders and not lvl1 hand held items all the time... if you don't get into diplo when you start crafting and get some of that lowbie diplo stuff, you won't get into diplo at lvl 50+ crafting by getting that...
And I was talking of the ridicously low money you got out of workorders: What was it? some coppers?

greetings, Mith

I think the low money (not just from crafting) was about right for Vanguard until people started dupping money. At that point all money rewards became useless. I believe that the original intent was for diplomacy to be where you made the most money from rewards. Crafting was suppose to make money from selling items to other players.

Yeah this is what worked back in the good old days, I don't really think it matters about cross promoting trash loot for the 3 spheres anymore though. Just as long as the reward is kept low and balanced with repairs/effort put in etc.

Back in the day the cross sphere trash loot would of sparked interest in new players to want to "see what it did" or "see what it made" but I think with a small but loyal veteran based community here, no one really needs the promoting for other spheres
