How much is too much?

My husband and I were chitchatting about crafting in Aion. He had been an alchemist before quitting and going to Rift. I proudly told him that I had experted yet another craft (Handicrafting) and was close to mastering a second (Tailoring). He laughed and said, “You’re insane, woman!”

So, is that a bit much? Well, if you look at the sum of things, y’all might be inclined to agree with my hubby. I have a main and 4 alts. My main has 2 experted crafts — Alchemy and Cooking — and mastered Cooking. When I first rolled on Zikel, I had originally planned on having just Harley and chose to do 2 crafts for the things she would need most: food buffs and pots/scrolls. After finally deciding to forsake my Elyos and stay Asmodian, I decided that I missed playing an SM and so I made a Joker companion for Harley. To help with his leveling, I decided he should do tailoring so he can make his own gear. That actually worked out great. When he hit 30 I invested in 3 pieces of 30e PVP gear and he has 2 pieces of 30 Daevanion until I’m able to collect mats for the higher level expert and Balic sets.

OK so … another confession: I’m a hoarder. Special mats, recipes, gatherables. I keep almost everything. And with 2 toons doing 3 crafts I quickly ran out of warehouse and account warehouse space. So I created another alt … my Ranger. And then I thought to myself “Hey, why not have her Handicraft? It would be cool to make myself something shiny someday!” And so, yeah, that’s what she does. And she’s also my flux warehouse … because Harley and Joker both have full warehouses. And then my Ranger’s warehouse filled up, so I created another alt — my sin — who’s now also started Weaponsmithing. Then the announcement of the discontinued Veteran Awards came, so I created another alt (a Sorcerer) just in case I ever wanted to create one in the future who would already have all the rewards stacked.

And guess what? My sorc started Armorsmithing this weekend … because it’s the only craft left that I hadn’t already done.

o.O

OK … I “might” have a problem? Hehehe :)

  2. nearly-away answered: I am working towards mastering a craft myself and I keep EVERYTHING as well - so even if it’s a “problem” rest assured you’re not alone:))
  3. sowiddlefur answered: Wow, I feel like a slacker. I mastered cooking and that’s it. :\ I’d rather PvP than afk craft, I guess.
