Shroud crafting suggestion.

Forgive me if this idea has already been touched on.

What if we had a "special" Shavarath altar in Meridia for partial crafting of ingredients for tier I-III of the shroud. Here is how it would work:

A player would be allowed to craft any essence, focus or gem for any of the the Tiers, as well as imbuing their shard. BUT, in order to complete the upgrade on their item, (i.e. combining the imbued shard, a power cell and their weapon/item) they would have to do so at the appropriate altar in the Shroud itself.

I don't personally do a lot of crafting runs, but I know there are those that do. This new altar would significantly cut down on time spent crafting in the Shroud, as well as give people the time they need to craft in a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure, reducing frustrating mistakes. Feedback?

Do you know that after you complete the Shroud you can take portals back to all the previous sections of the Shroud and can take all the time you need to craft then?

Yes, I know that. But what about the people who aren't completing but still wish to craft? Don't tell me those who are completing are going to wait for the 1 or 2 people to finish their crafting...

Alright, I couldn't tell from your post. Seems like unnecessary effort to appease the non-completers. Let 'em complete and wait three days, they'll survive.

If you looked at the lore from the dialog and the room in the Twelve it looks like the original plan was to have one of the altars or a new one of some type put in after the module had been out for awhile. They have all those researchers in that room in the tower of The Twelve that say they are looking forward to studying one of the devices. It just looks like the developers forgot that they were going to put something in there when they started work on Mod 8 and then on Mod 9.

It would be nice to at least be able to make the gems and focus outside of the shroud. Imbuing the shard and attaching the shard to the item could be left for inside of the shroud as those 2 steps don't take much time. If you only make one set of material, focus and gem of each tier at a time it would be really hard to put the wrong ones in when imbuing your shard. After all they will only fit in their appropriate altar.
