New Profession Npcs

Professions can get a bit grindy so this is just a small idea to improve them.

At every major resource in the world (i.e. where there is a gathering miniquest.) there is an NPC, called based on the area that it is at (i.e. birch woodcutter) that sells processed one-star resources based on the type of NPC it is. When you buy them, however, they do not give you any gathering xp. You also cannot interact with the NPCs that sell resources that require a higher gathering level than you have, meaning the gathering profession is still required. (Also, the ability to buy materials should only be for lower level materials as there is already a market for high-level ones. Thanks to @Theeef for suggesting this.)

They also have another purpose, which is to exchange a number of two-star resources to give you one three-star resource.

As a result, gathering materials, especially three-star ones, is a little easier, especially for getting materials for grinding crafting xp and crafting powerful weapons.

Thanks for reading, and feedback is appreciated

 

would ruin the market and make leveling crafting professions even less player based and even more driven from how rich you are than it already was

but hey, more use for ironman money

 

Hi,

In my previous thread, @Theeef suggested that this feature be only made for lower levels, fixing the issue you suggested.

 

Actually seems good now with the changes. I support

I would support this without the ability to trade for 3 star ingredients. Just being able to buy 1 stars would be nice for when I need a couple of ingredients for crafting and don't want to wait for the resources to refresh, but being able to do it with three star ingredients would quickly devalue those.

 

Generally, lower level three-stars don’t cost as much, and this idea only applies to lower levels.
