![]() ![]() This is not a very enjoyable or productive use of my very valuable game time. I have spent over an hour in an area harvesting lumber to acquire a Shard of Splendor and only found one when I needed two. In addition to that, many of the recipes have at least one very rare or extremely rare item required to craft the recipe that you rarely receive by questing in the area where you are questing, and if you do you may acquire 1 of the items, but the recipe requires 2 of the extremely rare items. That is a totally unreasonable and probably unachievable cost to pay to acquire the recipes. Now if you do the math to acquire a full set of jewelry (7 items) and armor (7 items) that would require 280 Marks at 20 Marks each or 1400 marks at 100 marks each or 3500 Marks at 250 each. In addition, to that, you need to purchase the recipes using "Marks" from that area and they may charge anywhere from 20 to 250 Marks. They can only be obtained by Bartering from a Quartermaster, and usually, they require that you have required the appropriate reputation such as Friend or Kindred, which can take quite a while to achieve. To start with, you cannot acquire upper-level recipes from drops like you used to. I also found it rewarding to craft things for my kinship members and other players that I would team up with however, after I reached Anorien and moved into the Doomfold areas and above, all of that came to a screeching halt because it became nearly impossible to acquire new recipes for any level above Anorien. As I leveled up my characters, I really enjoyed making new jewelry, weapons, armor, and other things. One of the things I really enjoyed about LOTRO is the diversity of activities you can do besides just Questing. Why is it so difficult to Craft after Anorien?
