Leablo.2651 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Quote You'll craft Homestead decorations not through the guild hall's scribing, but through a new crafting profession that's unlocked and upgraded through Janthir Wilds' masteries. I would like some clarification on this point, which was further referenced in the buffed.de interview: Quote Andrew Gray, Janthir Wilds Lead: Homestead decorations are a totally new thing based on Mastery rather than tied to a traditional crafting skill. From what we know of masteries, this implies there will be about a mastery line (or perhaps several) consisting of about a half-dozen tiers, but all of which will be unlocked through the obtainment of mastery xp and mastery points. These statements imply that the crafting ability for homesteads will not be a system of crafting unwanted things to level up to new tiers, but rather one of actively playing the JW content and obtaining specific achievements for mastery points to expand the recipe list? I would love to see a more in-depth explanation of how this works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench.7091 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 These are some points that were stated within the PC Gamer interview. The crafting levels for homestead crafting will not be tied to crafting EXP. It will be tied to the mastery system. In the video, the player has crafting levels. Those levels seem to come in the increments via mastery points, since the level number in the video was 300, which seems about right if the increments come in 100s or 50s. His mastery in the interview was at 560 total during the recording. The current cap is 543. Some recipes will be tied to holiday festival event releases. Guild halls handle this by just automatically releasing the recipes for the scribes. We don't know if they'll sell us recipes through holiday vendors or just by handling things the way that guild halls do. Most will be earned in the game, although certain recipes will be unlocked via the gem store. I don't think they've told us the depth of how we learn these within the game. It could just be through the mastery system for all we know. The gem store bit implies that we are able to learn recipes separately from the mastery system. That is why I think it is important to mention it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasite.5389 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It sounds like it will work similar to the EoD fishing mastery; where in addition to other mastery features, you'll gain a +n to your base crafting level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I think in practical terms it means you won't have to craft a bunch of stuff you don't want just to level up crafting, you'll be able to level it up like any other mastery - by playing in JW maps to get XP and mastery points. You'll still need to get the materials and unlock or discover recipes and I assume at least some furniture will require multiple steps like crafting equipment does, so no one is going to be able to make everything on day 1, or even as soon as they've got the masteries unlocked, but we won't see the TP flooded with thousands of basic chairs and tables because they're quick and cheap to mass-produce for XP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nifty to have things work this way, because it means that we won't need to train every characters' homestead crafting. Mastery points make the crafting levels available across the entire account. If they force us to utilize a crafting slot to use homestead crafting stations, we just need to jump on an alt. There's a good chance that they won't do that though, as it would make just as much sense to let any of our characters craft from a mastery point crafting system. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Now let's see how the market explodes on the materials needed, making a simple chair cost 50g anyway. Edited July 15 by Omega.6801 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIrc it was stated for the table you get from the deluxe version, that you don't only get the table, but also unlock a recipe to craft additional ones. So at least learning a recipe by gaining a decoration is a thing. Edited July 17 by kiroho.4738 spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great news! I'm glad I won't have to craft 50 green wood chairs before making 50 soft wood chairs before making... you get the idea. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I think it is important to mention it." I woulda hoped we'd be able to collect recipes too, so we could sell them if we dont want them or if they are rare drops and you can acquire them again.

Well i hope the recipes we find in the world then aren't account bound and tradable so if there rare drops on release you can sell them , then later grind to acquire them again(if thats possible) Edited July 18 by Kelly.7019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might remove some tabs of course to simplify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 If Homestead crafting is based on your Mastery level, that would be crazy. However, if what you can craft is based on where you got your Mastery levels, that would be a level of foresight I didn't think Arenanet was capable of. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I think it will be based on your Homestead Crafting Mastery level, not your entire game Mastery level. That would be silly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it will work like all the other masteries - there will be a dedicated Homestead mastery track and what you're able to craft will be based on which of those masteries you've trained and spent JW mastery points to unlock. If they were inventing some new mechanic or re-interpretation of the mastery system that's been used before they would have explained that in one of the articles about Homesteads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
