JIMLI!!! hey, thanks for the armor!!!!!!!
i owe ya one my 4ft. tall brother.

no problem...my pleasure.

Check back with me every so often I can usually make you something useful, although more than likely it won't be complete suits.

The reason for that is because you will get much better stuff than I can make from quest rewards until about level 42. Then you almost have to have the crafted stuff. Just one of the problems with armor crafting in this game.

There have been a number of us saying that Turbine needs to change their approach to armor crafting, but so far they have not listened. So the payoff doesn't come until you approach the level cap. Maybe that's how then intended it, I don't know, even in beta they would never talk to us about it. We offered all kinds of suggestions to make it better but they didn't listen, which was kind of odd because for the most part they have been listening really well to most player concerns, but crafting is not one of them.

hey man, thanks for helping me out last night

Again, no problem. It is fun for us to roll back and do some of those quests again, especially when doing so isn't a threat to have a hefty repair bill.

[Timateo]

lol i heard that... i had a 40 silver repair bill after that quest lol

My top repair bill was 179s. One defeat. I hear it gets worse but the money gets better.

I had a 306s repair bill coming out of Carn Dum a few days ago.

That's my top so far since going live.

My top one before that was in closed beta, had over a 600s repair bill, but how the money worked was quite a bit different then. Back then 600s wasn't as big a hit as it would be now.

my alltime repair bill was back when i played wow... it was 37 gold
