Season 2 week 3…

Another week and more progress has been made.

I have utilised the delves weekly bonus and have gone past the halfway mark for my delvers journey for season 2.

I have been pushing everyday on the patron orders to catch up on my profession knowledge.

I have continued to complete my tier 11 bountiful delves, collect more champion and hero tract gear as well as gilded crests.

Using both gilded crests and my profession knowledge I managed to achieve a big goal for me this season which is to use my gilded crests to create and enchanted gilded crest and then go on to craft an ilvl 675 piece of gear.

However a mistake was made.

I was keen to carry on towards a 2nd piece of tier gear (without using a catalyst charge which I was saving for later), so I created pauldrons.

Unfortunately I discovered that even though this gear has a very high ilvl it is NOT compatible with the catalyst.

While I am still very happy to have 675 pauldrons, it is annoying that they are not a tier piece.

So my next crafting goal is going to be a weapon, removing itself from the tier set possibility.

I am ending this week on 646 ilvl.

Hopefully by the next great vault I will be able to complete my 2 piece tier set.

I like player housing but can I make a shop?

I have been playing more solo content in TWW. Delves are of course the breakaway star, world content has come a long way including more world quests and world events.

Crafting has been something I have always resented because I felt it could be more than it was.

The inclusion of patron crafting orders and a profession knowledge catch-up mechanic has made crafting something that feels worthwhile and engaging (especially for the solo player).

But I still feel there is more that can be utilised for crafting.

Delves have been introduced to provide gameplay for all including the solo player, meaning that solo players can finally engage in their own endgame content alongside raiders and M+.

Delves award gear and upgrade materials to improve gear and ilvls and therefore power to make delves and other content easier moving forward.

But what if the crafting system was built upon allowing deeper crafting options for gear and the associated upgrades to make gear stronger. With delves adding to the resources needed to create gear similar to how crests are rewarded from delves.

What if crafted gear could have unique power options similar to that of Cyrce’s circlet and its socket gems?

What if professions could craft cosmetic options like raid sets from previous raids?

What if delves could provide profession knowledge based on the tier completed?

The crafting system could be a reward system used in tandem with the gameplay system of delves to make rewards more rewarding and allow players to choose which profession they want to focus on and what gear to specialise in.

Then we get to shops.

Shops already exist (kind of). Every time you see someone posting their profession skills in the trade chat they are selling their ability to craft for other people. This works a bit more like a commission than a shop but is very similar.

With housing being announced for Midnight it made me think what if I could turn my house into my shop.

My shop could be a place where I could display my crafts, set prices and invite other players to purchase what I can craft.

This shop system would work in a similar way to the current crafting order system but instead of players throwing orders out there and hoping someone will pick it up, the shop system allows players to set a price and the buyer can choose to buy what they are looking for (just like an npc merchant).

I would hope that crafting commissions could still be placed with a shop but a player can also stock their shop with their crafts.

This shop could also be warbound, allowing alts to all stock one shop.

So what so you think do you like crafting?

Would you like to make a shop to sell your crafts?

Would you like to go to other players shops to purchase from them?

Would you like an expanded crafting system with rewards from delves?

I need your help…
