Just thought everyone would like to know that Test has a new item tag: "Tradeskill Item". It's still being built, but it's coming!

Not sure I like the idea.
If everyone knows that something is used for tradeskills vendor mining will become a thing of the past and you will be paying through the nose for everything you don't farm yourself.
Availability may go up but so will costs for both components and finished products.
I hope I'm wrong on that -

Im a bit confused about this....
Do you mean that it will be a search criteria like "Combinable" and "Martial" in the bazaar? Or its on ingredients? Or on finished products?Xynn: Cleric of Innoruuk 240 Baker 187 Brewer drinking and eating.... /burp!

Item Tag
It's an item tag, just like Lore, No Drop, No Rent or Magic."Need a heady kiola for your sewing project? Sure! I can whip that right out. Oh, you say you need 2000? Well, that may take a while...."Comment

Which I'm afraid means that I won't be able to buy stuff for a few gold off NPC's anymore. People will start hording stuff tagged as such and selling it in the bazaar for a huge markup. And hey, doesn't sound like a bad idea since I have a trader mule anyway.... Fight fire with fire...

BOOO!
No more vendor mining, no more buying stuff cheap from people, and HUNDREDS of "OMG THIS SAYS TRADESKILL ON IT WHAT DOES IT DO" questions on the serverwide channel.

Hmmm, with this change it makes me happy that Shadowscream stuff is no drop so it can't get sold for hella plat.
Well not counting the swirling shadows... (100p per on my server now)

Supply and Demand?
I wish I could support the idea behind s&d in EQ, but people in EQ are greedier and more patient than most people selling on a real market. In the last few months components for tradeskill itmes have sky rocketed on Ayonae Ro, at least some of the stuff I make. The economy is more a vendor controled economy than a realistic type. You might spend 1100pp to buy enough acrylia to make an acrylia studded tunic, but nobody is willing to buy it for more than 900pp.
Adding this tag to items sounds like a good idea for experimenting with new items, but like others have said, vendor diving will be a thing of the past.Comment

Seems like a bad idea to me as well. I don't really understand the motivation for it, I would never expect them to add a tag like Quest Item to stuff which is generally more mysterious (and usually identify is useless for it).

I think it's a huge benefit. There's so much stuff that people don't know what it is for. If it is marked as a tradeskill item, they can give it to someone that can use it.Comment

Merchant mining is one of the rare joys left in the game. I don't like the idea of tagging things. Some people will give to someone who can use it - but most will sell it.Originally posted by Panamah
How many things aren't combinable in some way? Almost everything that is dropped can be used in a tradeskill unless it is a quest piece or an already made item.
I would much rather have them start labeling no drop quest pieces with the classes who can use it - I'm tired of groups stopping to look up online every no drop item that drops. Just put the classes on there and things could move much faster... and I wouldn't be stuck with so much crap in my bank that I'll never use.
