Now, I am quite aware there are many more pressing issues, and older players will laugh and mock; yet I think this is serious enough to voice out. I realize I am anything but a typical player, I only play in Single player and I make it a point to try my best and figure out the game on my own, I hate having to Google things and I did not have contact with the community when I started playing; hence, I kinda lived in a bubble for the most part. That went out the window with this game; for starters the first friendly character you likely meet in the game encourages you to go north, of all places, and evidently the devs went out of their way to make the most cryptic game possible; try finding all 8 pages of Razma’z journal on your own, it’s damn near impossible. Recipes, tomes… everything is a complete mystery, and that’s fine. But I strongly believe this game counts on players randomly stumbling into said items by sheer, blind luck, and sharing with the community what they had found; not exactly a good recipe for single players. I clearly understand this is an MMO and a PVP centric game, it’s one of those factors that gives this game it’s longevity, and Devs kindly made a Single Player mode; however, again, that well-hidden info is shared by folk in the server they play on, and eventually, and collectively, players find their way.

Here is the thing: This particular loading screen sent me into a crusade that lasted over 3k hours; me, relentlessly hunting Grr Legbiter for weeks, watching youtube videos that were obsolete, and so on, two years after they had removed the unique crafters and I, of course, was clueless. I didn’t have a base at the time, I was focused on acquiring them so, since I was on the move and not 60 yet, I didn’t place them in the world nor assigned them to a work station, so…
I think this load screen needs to be taken down already, not everyone has been playing forever, there are new players like me that started playing in mid '24 and given how cryptic this game is, this kind of misinformation really ends up frustrating folk like I.

There are no longer unique crafters, just take the loading screen down already, sheesh.

I think the only reason you would have gone on such a crusade is if you looked up old information on the internet and did not bother to check the date on it.

Because if you had only gone by what the game told you, which is what you are implying, you would not read that Grrr Legbiter gives you a unique recipe, you would only see mention of skilled artisans.

And what do you know? If you look in your bench, you get a bunch of new recipes when you have any T4 armorer, i.e. a skilled artisan:

The post is about misleading information on a loading screen, I do not feel inclined to leap into rabbit-holes. You can disagree with the loading screen or not.

You edited that line in, which also proves my point that your actual problem here is not the loading screen, but your inability to identify outdated information.

I do not disagree with it. And nobody who is not looking up obsolete YouTube videos will either.

Aw geez. Very well sigh: I hereby declare myself incapable of identifying outdated information… your Honor.
