I hope this isn't a terribly dense question....

[delirium]

I've been searching for the answer for some time now... I've checked my characters AA screens and can't find the answer....
I know that Jewelcraft has JCM as a basic ability... up to level 3
Do the other tradeskills have masteries? And if not, why not. And if not, are they planning to add it to the game? I would really like to have tailoring mastery... or smithy mastery.... Can't see really paying the AA for my pottery or brewing mastery...but definitely I would spend the points for smithy at least ^^

Thanks... and if this has been answered somewhere else, I apologise... I really did use the search...

Jewelcrafting Mastery is exclusive to Enchanters. In the same fashion, Rangers get a Fletching Mastery skill. The other Tradeskills are so general applicable to many classes, there appears no desire to make AA skills for those as well. A pity, I think.

*pootle*

It is indeed a shame... and also answers why I saw the JCM on my husband's chanter and not on my cleric... *sigh*

We should ask VI enmasse to do something like that because I sure would like to fail less than I do on my sickle and robe combines :?

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Now with the ability to take all skill trades to 250, they should relook at that AA ability and maybe give it(and create one for each) to all classes.

Jewelry was usually just GM'ed by enchanters because they were the only ones that could feasably do it because of the need to enchant the metals.

rogues get make poison mastery
shaman get alchemy mastery
rangers get fletching mastery



would be cool if wa/pal/sk got smithing and (cant believe im saying this) druids n beastlords got tailoring and monks brewing and clerics pottery and bards baking >< screw necro/wiz/mages int classes have it made stat wise as it is :P

[Tassrin]

Monks Brewing?

Monks and brewing?

A reference to Bruce Lee?

Is there a Drunken Master in the house?

[Kaysha Soulsinger]

What the heck would I do with Pottery? My main skills (as far as I'm concerned) are still Smithing on 1 and Tailoring on 2. :P

Just a small correction.... Ranger do not receive Fletching Mastery. Yall are probably thinking of Archery Mastery, which is an AA skill that allows you to do more damage with bows but has nothing to do with Fletching.

Last I heard though, there was a Ranger-only Fletching Kit but SoE has yet to implement it. Why I dont know.

[Pojodan]

Class specific containers?

Err... I can see why they wouldn't do that =P

Heck, I'd love to have tailoring mastery.. perhaps have it not only increase likelyhood of success but increase likelyhood of skill up =P

However, tailoring failures don't seem to be a problem.. JC seems to have a built in high chance of failure without having the skill above the trivial.. making the items that never trivial tend to fail a LOT, thus making the AA a needed one (Making me think the high failure rate was intentional)

1. Rangers do *not* get fletching mastery.

2. "Mastery" AA's are a horrible idea. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Tradeskills should not be dependant on whacking things over the head to get exp. For JC the precedant was sorta there at the time because of the enchant line of spells required to actually make anything worthwhile through JC already required high level.

[Jannelle Silverthorne]

Archery Mastery = More damage with bowfire.
Archery Mastery != Better fletching skill.

Enchanters are the only class stuck with one of their Class AA slots being taken up by a tradeskill enhancer.

Why are you the only person in all of EQ who agrees with me?


I ranted, raved, and cursed when NTCM was put in as a 51+ skill. I was told "EQ = Levelling, shut up and get used to it". To this day, I still curse that decision by VI/Sony. Stupid AA. Lousy Levelling.

Person A and Person B both GM Brewing.
Person A goes out and kills monsters for a week or two, and ALL OF A SUDDEN knows how to achieve the finer points of baking.

Lilosh I don't think Maena was talking about the AA ability that allows you to take more then one trade skill over 200. I think he was talking about the enchanter only AA which increases a enchanter's JC.

[Lilosh]

I know that.


But its all the same thing. Trade skill rewards being made AAs.
