Ya, I ran my provi all the way out there to get started on these ts writs. To add to the disappointment, provi fuels that normally cost 50s each, out there cost 75s. So unless I want to blow gobs of extra cash doing these writs, I have to MAIL myself the fuels. The writs also aren't just using ONE type of fuel either, they require you to keep stock of about 4-5 diff fuels at all times. So, I hafta spend hours mailing myself fuels, then hours plowin through the writs (at least quadruple the time it took me to get that faction with adv lvl quests) only to watch these items get cheaper and cheaper on the broker to the point there's almost no profit now. Ya, I gave up... Not worth the time when i'll make what 1-3g profit on the crap if i'm lucky.

I think they really gave Provi a slap in the face this xpac to go along with the 2 mins of woohoo new quested recipes. Our standard popular stat 5 hr food/drink are no more either. Now i'm stuck spending loads of extra time making dozens of extra stacks to compensate for many previous 5hr stat combinations, now only being max 2hrs ish. I'm also stuck with the NEW 5 hr combo items NOT selling on the broker and nobody I craft for wanting them either lol. Screw you SoE.

If you're a scholar class you get scholar writs, meaning sage alch and jeweler. That holds for the other subclasses as well. So make sure you have anything they might need on you or in the mail when you go over there.

Each faction will take 66 writs at this rate to get to the 10k faction needed. I haven't kept track on Mheryl adventurewise when doing quests, but she's to 10k with Riliss and not even close to finishing Fens quests, barely begun actually. I have 7 tradeskillers, 5 of which are low level adventurers. Not gonna be pretty.

I'm of the opinion that the faction still needs to be upped some. I had envisioned around 1250 when they were telling us the change was coming. My reasoning was this: in beta, I did 85 quests in Fens. Total. My faction with both Riliss and Bathezid were way over the amount needed for 10k faction recipes. I forgot to count Jarsath quests, but the amount of quests needed for adventurers for Danak faction was nowhere near 66, as it is now for us tsers. We are still not getting a fair shake here, tho for sure it helped to raise it as much as they did.

SOE and Domino have the right idea, but adventurers are still way ahead in the miniscule part of the game that they shouldn't be ahead of tradeskillers in.

I agree, it should be bumped up. I really hope the faction rewards are worthwhile when they are put in place. I'm certainly not going to work it up at the moment. I'd rather grind the city TS writs than that pain in the ass stuff. I wouldn't mind seeing the writs tweaked either. (in functionality)

See the stickied post above entitled "New Lands, New Profits" and follow that quest line, that should get the people in Bathezid, Riliss and Danak talking to you once it's complete.

the 30 K bathezid recipe is 4% hate reduction for 30 mins
I was lucky my prov is 80 templar, and with quests only had to do 10 writs
so unless u can find a reason to want such a pony recipe iId stick at 20 k
the rillis and danak ones well worth doing , nice recipes and the 30 k both nice charms even if they use chromatic essence
