<Cracked Staff Artisans> Tradeskillers Anonymous!
 

Cracked Staff Artisans is a guild for tradeskills, leveling (for tradeskills), and occasionally RP.

Full disclosure: We're tiny!

We have no level requirement, but we do expect members to have at least 1 tradeskill focus. (Note: Fishing doesn't count.) Our secondary focus is leveling. We're all about enjoying the journey, so you won't find us racing to the top. We like taking breaks to explore places and help others.

This is great! Makes me want to start JC.

I refuse to tradeskill and buy my arrows from CSA.

A++ would buy again

Other guilds post screenshots of dead things, CSA posts about tradeskills!

What are we up to?
* Leveling up a rogue so we can make color extracts for armor dyes
* Related to above, compiling screenshots of all dyes (ALL OF THEM) on all plate-wearing races!
* Also related to above, looking for FP armor models :P
* Looking for sources for leather padding (!!)
* Master Smith still looking for his enchanter (Alokin, where are you? :( )
* Planning to provide handmade arrows in EC on occasion! (Sorry if prices seem all over the place when we get out there, we have no market comps so we have to guess wildly to see what sells)
* I'm getting baking up so I can provide BIRTHDAY CAKES and WEDDING CAKES (where mah birthday homies at, I know you guys have them because everyone has a birthday. And if you wanna get married I can do that too. Brewing is at 192. Just saying.)

Shenanigans with other people:
* Thousands of muffins pending for factionquest with Aalderon
* Uh...??? Who knows!

The Cracked Staff Artisans are also looking for suppliers! As tradeskillers, we have a constant need for ingredients, components, and a Phychoanalyst to examine my strange fascination with Edible Goo. Now that we are gearing up for dyed armor, contact us if you have items to sell! here's the list of items we need to continue to bring you quality products!

Permafrost Crystals
Evergreen Leaf
Sarcoscypha Fungus
Russet Oxide
Iron Oxide
Jack-O-Lantern Fungus

Today, I visited the Miller farm in the hopes that the scarecrows might give me some of the Jack-O-Lantern Fungus that grows naturally in their heads. They were keeping up with their bleach routines so I didn't get much.

What I did find was a lone scarecrow gazing wistfully across the river. It occasionally waved its arms in a half-hearted attempt to scare the lions and bears that constantly traipse through the farm, but most of its time was spent gazing.

Being a scarecrow, they don't talk too much, so I don't know why it was there. Maybe it was pondering the green haze on the horizon. I loitered for a while, waiting for the fungus to grow (it takes a while), when all of a sudden...

What in Tunare's name were those little beetles and why were they after the scarecrow? I raced to help, but I was too late.

RIP, scarecrow :(

The scarecrow and I had vanquished the beetles at the cost of the scarecrow's, uh...'life', you could call it, but not long after my poor ally lit its last jack-o-lantern, I discovered there were MORE of them! Actually, there was an army! I sought out one of the farmers for an explanation.

He just looked at me and grumbled.

He didn't tell me much, given that he was busy watching his farm get invaded by--wait a second, what's that enormous one in the middle of the swarm?

A druid was harmed in the making of this screenshot.

Gah!

The swarm was insatiable. I succeeded in finishing off the big one, only to find the little ones attacking everything in sight.

Luckily the farmers managed to defend their farm from the swarm with the help of myself and the scarecrows. One of their neighbors told me that the swarm had been sent by Bertoxxulous, the god of disease, who was also responsible for the green haze and the pestilence that has stricken so many of the animals in the Karanas.

At least I now had an explanation for that rash on my--but never mind, that's not important. All I can say is visitors beware! The plague is upon us and it is highly uncomfortable.

PS: WTB Jack-O-Lantern Fungus!
