I swear I'm so sick of getting cockblocked by the timeline. I level up blacksmithing to 242 - oh wait! Fine plate ain't even in the game yet.
Woohoo, Fine Plate is here! Oh, no one wants to buy it because it's already irrelevant by the time it comes out. Oh well. I'll do cultural armour instead.
Woohoo, I can make cultural armour! Oh wait, it requires Blue Diamonds/Jacinths which are 1000pp each and rarer than hen's teeth, so rare that even after dungeon-crawling the whole of sebilis for 6 hours I didn't find a single one. No problem. Guess I'll just wait until the reagent requirement is removed in the Warrens patch.
Ok let's do Tailoring instead! Velious was great for tailoring, right? Ok so I farm Crystal Spiders for 2 solid days. Level up my Tailoring to 151. Oh boy, can't wait to start making Wu's armor so I can level up to 242 finally.
OH WAIT WU'S ARMOR ISN'T IN THE GAME YET EITHER. The only high-end Velious tailoring 200+ stuff requires you to fish cod out of CS (about as rare as Blue Diamonds, a guildie tried for hours yesterday and found only 1) or forage Yew Leaves (less rare but you better believe no one is levelling from 150 tailoring to 250 with black panther skin face masks).
Basically there's no point tailoring jack s--t until Warrens finally comes out, by which time the majority of the cultural armour is completely superseded by Velious drops - and that's not to even mention the "regular" high-end crafted stuff e.g. Elven Chainmail and the like.
Blacksmithing/Tailoring is essentially unfinished until 2+ years after Classic. Frustrating beyond belief.
Is there legit any point to this stuff? I love the look of cultural and was able to make some for a very wealthy guildie but god damn, levelling up the tradeskills is hard enough, but there's nothing at the end of the rainbow for years after release.
Edit: One final thing. I am trying to do Nature's Defender quest (Tunare-only Paladin 2hs that is nearly as good as the epic). So I get the Corrupted Unicorn skin with a small raid force, the Corrupted Faun skin with a trio, and get lucky with the Corrupted Panther skin rotting at zone line. WOOHOO! Now all I gotta get is the Fleshless Skull from Hate... no problem, my guild raids hate all the time.
OH WAIT THE FLESHLESS SKULL ISNT IN THE GAME UNTIL OCTOBER WHEN HATE 2.0 REVAMP DROPS. WITH THE WARRENS PATCH. Seriously why tf is this half-finished stuff in game, it is infuriating.
