This made me laugh [Alchemy related]Follow

Can you say, FFXI? This is funny. I'm going to be "HQ'ing" potions. I can just imagine what effect this will have on the economy of certain potions though, if you can't "HQ" them you won't be able to make money.

Reminds me of not being able to make money off Silent Oil in FFXI because people who made 5 or 6 at a time consistently ruled the market.

I assume HQ is some sort of skill or specialization that allows them to create more of product X. And finds it funny a similar system was put into WoW.

hehe I too never play FF 11 so yea the humor is lost.

Ah I see. Yea EQ2 has a system like that too for certain things you can make. Depending on what you made you either got more of it or got what you were making but with better stats.

And your skill played a large role in getting better stats on your product, however I loved how they had the reaction commands so that if you got good at it you could get pristine (best quality) even at low skill lvls like when the product is yellow or orange to you.

Granted it made the crafting time consuming in that you couldn't just get your mats and hit the create button and come back in ten minutes to a stack of your product.

Wrong! Well if you include alchemy as a "trade". My first 60 obtained an epic mount within 4 weeks of hitting 60 purely selling pots on AH - that was a year ago, my Tauren druid alchemist sold demonslaying, defence and greater fire protection pots.

Now that these particular specialists will be able to get more pots for the money though, production could sway to outweigh the mats.

Great point!! I too am hoping this will help the actual professions more. I do believe that blizz has been making good decisions regarding this and hopefully continue to do so.

Crafting for me is 50% of the fun in any MMO if done right. That was one of the main reasons I thought EQ2 was a pretty good game. Its just that the rest of the game didnt hold up.
