Tinkered Items that Cannot Be Learned

[Aario]

While I was making some Anizok's Minimizing, Maximizing, and Gauze Presses, I came across some sub-components that could not be learned. Thus, I had to manually combine each one using the old "experiment" slot machine method. So far here is what I found is not learnable nor in the database for recipes in game:

• Perpetual Steam Pump
• Perpetual Air Pump
• Base Prototype

I have already bugged these combines / UI issues are there anymore that ya'll have found?

can not be learne Meterological rocket -> advanced propulsion unit combine

Its been pretty obvious that sub-combines cannot be learned, only final products.


Why?


The same reason that snakes kick.

Being unable to "learn" these subcombines makes the UI window worthless for the point of PoP tinkering which happens to be about all I do since I'm already skill capped.

Why arent they learnable? Its a conscious decision on the part of the SOE tradeskill team. There is a field on the server that denotes wether or not a recipe CAN be learned.

I too have submitted bugs and feedback on this issue. Aside from the two or three devs who have visited here - there is little chance for ANY response to the playerbase on this topic.

Honestly, if its a tradeskill combine/subcombine - make it learnable. If its a quest or a one-shot combine - it doesnt need to be learnable but what difference would it make?

So....just make them all learnable and avoid the headache entirely. Its such a no-brainer.

That really does not make sense though, if you think about it. The planar bow cams that are used in another skill, and are a subcomponent, can be learned though.

Developer explains the learning system and states that its 'a work in progess'.

However, he also states that hes not responsible for changes and suggest submitting requests thru Naimi (which i consider odd).
