Default Re: Tinkering scrolls are WAY too rare

Would you seriously get back into raiding just to get that rare?

Default Re: Tinkering scrolls are WAY too rare

They aren't rare, run sebilis for a day and you will get one or two. They don't appear on the broker because when they do drop they go to guildies. Given time quite a few will show up on broker when sebilis is crowded with groups camping named.

Secondly if you need a mender bot then have another tinker make you one, they are tradeable. Same with call of tinker, wormholes, fishing poles, etc.

And I don't see how all recipe's should be given to you because you simply are a 400 tinkerer. This is a roleplaying game. Shouldn't there be rare things that a group of advertures happened upon deep in a dungeon and then sold off in a remote village for an ale not knowing the true value of it, the item then travelling to qeynos through a trade caravan and you were lucky enough to pick it up? I mean where did the role playing go? This is why eq has become more and more like WoW. We ruined the game by complaining about everything...

And besides, the price of using the mender bot vs. using repair kits definitely has less and less people hailing the mender bot when I pop it out.

I'm saying the system put in place with the AA mirror, where the recipe is available to crafters who earn it, but the rare component is an adventurer drop, makes much more sense in this game.

If you want recipes available by true roleplaying, make them craftable by some type of scribe class.

But making recipes rare drops from common mobs under the adventurer RNG makes absolutely no sense to me, and is wrong.

I really like your idea to have them available but make the components much rarer LFG. Its so sick how easier it is to level tinkerer and then get a call of the tinkerer made.
