World Professions

Hi, so after a while of not playing Wynn (as some of you saw, now I am back) I have decided to move on and try other MMORPGs. The main one was World of Warcraft.
I will jump into the point because nobody cares.
They had profesions, if it will be added then it's not going to be the same but it's going to be close (as I am going to describe it right now)
What is this thread going to have?
1. How they're going to work
2. Professions ideas
3. How is it going to effect Wynncraft in general

How are professions going to work?
You do a certain job, and you get LE. Somethting about 1le/10minutes of work sounds very fair to me.
Simple as that, it might stop loot-running (there are literally too many people loot running its impossible to loot run right now) and start working for your LE without any luck, its about who has more free time.
Also I'd like to make every player able to have 1 profession at the same time, but you can switch it anytime you want for the cost of about 5LE. First time getting a profession activated will be free.

Profession ideas:
1. Fishing, get a fishing rod from an NPC and start fishing, fishing will give you either armor, emeralds and fish.
You'll be able to sell the fish to the NPC for emeralds.

2. Wood cutting: there will be a big area with a bunch of trees, you'll need to cut them down. Each tree will re-spawn about a minute after you mine them down and its going to take about 5 - 10 seconds to cut each (depending on the size) later on you will sell the wood you've chopped to the NPC for emeralds.

3. Blacksmith: This is my personal favorite! Go and get some materials from around the map and craft your own gear! the gear will of course be untradable but when you craft it you will have 2 options,
a. keep the item and use it
b. sell the item to the npc for emeralds.
P.S you have to have the Blacksmith profession activated if you want to wear the armor you made.

4. Alchemist. You go around the world look out for ingredients and you make custom potions available to the alchemist only!
The potions will give stats like on armor and weapons that don't exist on current potions.
For example: Tier attack speed, Life steal, Mana Regen, Raw spell damage etc...

How will it effect Wynncraft?
It will definitely make the market better in my opinion. and let me explain why:
Currently, probably everyone's looking to sell their Mythics for raw LE and most people I saw do not accept mythic trades. And that is happening because: the total worth of all the mythics exist is MUCH bigger than the total emeralds exist (of active players). So the professions will create a lot of emeralds and put them into the trading market. That way people will be able to sell their mythics for raw LE and not wait 2 weeks for a raw LE offer.

Anyways, those are all the stuff I thought about until now, I will edit the thread if needed, tell me your thoughts and what should I change, and hopefully it will be added to the game.
NOTE: if you vote no, please tell me your opinion and why not, I'd like to hear everyone's opinion. And maybe I can change something and make it better

 

So basically mcmmo
very original idea 10/10

 

uhm... well... I don't think this fits in wynncraftu.

 

Its not original at all but still might make wynn better

 

I personally think this isn’t really wynn-style. We’re soldiers for Wynn, not blacksmiths/alchemists/fishers/woodcutters

________________________________

Although it might add some new gameplay, so I think it’s okay, but not the best idea

 

Well as a person who doesn't really care about the story and just skips what the npcs say, I didn't really think about the story part.

 

Um what. Is it just me, or is that way too much?

 

If it will be added the numbers would be different for sure

 

How about we just add fishing and call it a day

 

Interesting concept ill give you that, but I gotta disagree here.

Wynn is, at the end of the day, really not about doing boring tasks to grind emeralds. It is about exploring the world, completing quests, killing powerful beings, etc. and emerald grinding through mundane tasks is not exactly something I would look forward to.

I will admit blacksmith and alchemist sounds like they are cool ideas, but being able to craft items would defeat the point of loot bonus, unless they are really weak items in which case what is the point of having it at all? Potions are a bit different but I would rather that just be a standalone thing instead of buying potions directly.
The other two are just boring gameplay, and sure it would have people desperate for money doing it but that only matters for the first few levels, later on it becomes useless.

Also 1 LE / 10 mins is WAY too much, you can get the amount I had by Level 80 in just 2 hours.

In the end, it just doesn't work for Wynn. The point of Wynn and the point of this are not tangible together.

 

Very good idea

 

Good idea. This most be interesting..

 

Grian add this idea at once in the next major update

 

Oh well I didn't see then, I really hope it gets added

 

This is one of the best ideas

________________________________

of course this idea would have to be modified a bit but for people like me with barely any emeralds this would be a a big thing

 

Exactly what I made it for, there are a lot of people who don't do tradings and they dont have enough emeralds to buy scrolls, potions and identify items.
I am not really trading anymore but I need some emeralds for stuff besides trading.

 

That problem is attributed to inflation. Adding more emeralds won't help, it makes inflation worse.

 

Leave the market for a second, me, as someone who doesn't really tryhard in trading (like most people who play Wynn) can't always afford potions, doing LI or even re-identifying my items. The current raw LE value is too high.
For example: (not real) someone is looking to sell his Gaia for 5.5 stacks, the stats are alright. Nobody is going to buy that for 5.5 stacks because people barely buy stuff for raw LE, but people would indeed mythic trade for mythics that are 'woprth' around that price. People sell mythics for mostly raw LE.
I wrote it pretty complicated but I hope you understand.
For the market:
I'd rather people have a lot of LE and then the mythic prices will jump, but almost everyone will have enough LE for them.
Atm people who are very rich will get richer and the poor people will take much longer time to get richer. The professions are going to make poor people a bit richer.

 

Adding even more emeralds at a high rate would make money practically worthless on the market. This would not only ruin the economy even more, but it would also make it even harder for new players to get rich and it would make the price of mythics extremely high.
We shouldn't be putting even more money into the economy we need to take money out so the market gets more stable.
Oh and those things seem really boring to do.

 

why do you use potions
