So I wanted to try (weapon) crafting tasks to skill up and save myself some gold in the process.

First task was fine, orange con item for the Auctioneer.

Second task was a deep red con item (~30 over my skill level) for a guy named 'Druaym Lywel'. After half an hour of boredom I could actually try to create the item with any chance of sucess and after finally making it, I asked guards where to find the guy that gets the weapon.... all of them pointed toward the place where all the crafting trainers in TNN are located, but he's nowhere to be found

So here I am, placeing a missing add for a guy named Druaym Lywel. If you've seen a guy wandering around looking for a cobalt two-handed spiked mace, his family is looking for him.

AND HE OWES ME SOME GOLD!

Lol

Well I have no experience with crafting tasks on Uthgard but what I do know is..: don't trust the guards when you're looking for an NPC.

Tinkering with the system some more I think the crafting tasks need some work... like 80% of the times I tried I got tasks 40!!! points over my current skill. My skill being 455-460 and I got shields and weapons with skill 495 ALL THE TIME, which means a ~2% sucess chance and if I actually tried to fulfill those tasks I'd probably lose whole stacks of raw material. Very frustrating.

I realize this isn't a high priority system, but right now it's of no use at all...

maybe this should have gone in the feedback/bugreport forum, though.
