Craft for material : why i dont do it:

[Etopia]

This is a recursive problem , that come over , over and over...

-Can you craft me this or that if i bring you material ?
-Why you dont do it ?

And all other question like that...

Reply is prety and very simple.

Crafting for material is just loss for evryone.Its loss for customer since there is more chance he is in a bad period for crafting than a good one.
The material do not cost to customer less to me or any other crafter.If he got them in loot , and count them as TT then he dont know math , he is losing the TT+ he would make selling them to me anyway...
All in all , Making a big run of item , is cheaper than crafting them 1 by 1.

Also , for all those who come saying "that item is expensive , what material it need so you make me one cheap" , they should stop half a second to speak , use neuron and think : " if that is soo cheap to craft , was that crafter sdont make a fortune selling that item in auction ?"...

If master coat was costing 200 ped to craft , and i could craft as much as i want , dont you think i would sell tons at 300 ped in 1 hour at auction ?

PS: this rant is not AIM at 1 particular person.
I understand evryone try to get best from his loot of sneak his way.Its just a general problem that come soo often , i feel like i must say it to make som think a bit about it.

In short, you want to be compensated properly for your time, effort and skills, and don't want to "give away" stuff for free. Plus them giving you enough for 3 clicks doesn't guarantee you'll succeed, and if you don't possible bad feelings can occur. Best to skip that.

Can completely understand that.

True ...

I think the only scenario that it would bring benefits is that the crafted item is extremely rare and the material to craft them is extremely hard to get or no longer drop (e.g. one of the materials needed to craft gauss weapon), then it would be logically that one bring the material he/she has to a crafter with BP to craft it for him/her.

I think i'll buy some ammo and ask Star to shoot some mobs for me with his mod teg

As long as the involved parties understand what they are doing, I see nothing wrong in it.

Its of course a gamble, but for some items it can be worth it.

For example items from rare components or rare L bps that you can't do in big bulks anyway.

But only in special cases, and I understand you as a top crafter get way to many such requests then is comfortable

hum... I think ur right. buy sometimes it's cheap to just hire a crafter to craft one thing
