    Default So, when does the Cannith Crafting system get updated?

    So, we have this crafting system that looks like its been abandoned. We already had numerous effects that we were unable to craft despite being told that we'd be able to (Paralyzing, I'm looking at you). With the launch of MotU, we've gotten a lot more effects in the randomly generated loot that we are also unable to craft.

    Are we ever going to see Cannith Crafting updated to include missing mutations? Is it ever going to be useful for things other than twinking a new character or boss beaters? Should I stop bothering to salvage items? Should I stop bothering to level my crafting?

    It makes me feel foolish to have spent so much time in the hall. Even if they did revamp it. The levels would probably be 151-200 for bound. I don't feel like spending more hours in front of that infernal machine.

    My bets on not till after the enhancement pass at this rate, considering the hash they've made of existing shards. So some time after hell thaws back out.

    Keep in mind that they also just added all of the "flexible" shards to the system as well. Personally, I feel that there should be some item affixes that should remain solely in the random loot gen system, otherwise random loot ceases to have any value beyond "how many essences can I get for this?"

    Which is why the crafting model is poor IMHO. There are ways to make crafting not devalue the random loot gen. Crushing every effect to generic items and then creating effects from those generic items disconnects the crafting from the loot gen. If you never need to find a paralyzer to create a paralyzer, then finding one becomes "whatever". If creating a dynamo weapon required you to use 10 dynamo weapons then you can use the crafting to improve loot gen rather than completely replace it.

    Y'all are still deconning stuff? Impressive.

    With the 4-5 second hang on every decon, I get too frustrated by the 2nd or 3rd item and log back off my crafter.

    It takes less than a second to decon items.

    Default Crafting Deconstruction for U15

    Has anyone done any deconstruction crafting on the U15 beta and see a good improvement on the amount of essences returned? I might just wait till U15 comes out, then start deconstructing again to get the majority of what I need in good sizeable amounts, rather than the basic return now at Lvl 5.

    If it's not giving more, I'll just keep on deconstructing now.

    At a minimum, the mess around Potency introduced with U14 needs to be addressed in Cannith crafting. The system has been unfinished since release: lacking +15 skill items, +10 tactical feat modifiers and a ton of other effects.

    I get a delay on the first item I decon, but the others aren't a problem.

    I only decon in bunches, with 30+ items.

    Cannith Crafting does need an update. If you cannot even compete with random lootgen items then what's the point in spending so much time and plat in crafting in the first place?

    I get the feeling cannith crafting will be left blowing in the wind.
