Masterwork 4/5 Question

joccat

Ok so let me see if I got this right on Masterwork 4/5......this is just an example:

Step 1 Alchemy - Turn in 36 each of:

• Effervescant Tidespan Potion
• Effervescant Potion of Reflexes
• Effervescant Potion of Accuracy

That gets me a list of 4 Commisioned items I can choose from to craft, with each item being worth trade credits. I need to craft and turn in a total of 50,000 worth? That right?

Ok so assuming that, say I choose to craft Commissioned Fever Reducer at 1,100 trade credits each. I have a mythic forgehammer and a legendary tool for Alchemy. So let's say I amass the following resouces in sufficient quantity to cover the failure rate before starting:

• 400 Red Alder Bark
• 400 Effervescant Water
• 400 Madder Root
• 100 Alkali

Crafting enough of the item and turning them all in gets me to the last phase of Alchemy, which is to craft the orange item correct? Crafting that item and turning it in get's me what now? New recipes for Alchemy only right?

Now let's say I want to do Jewelcrafting, I need to turn in the following 3 items (just like in Alchemy)

• Rubelite Amulet
• Silverspruce Amulet
• Sphene Amulet

Turning those in gets me a different set of 4 commissioned items to craft? Or is step 2 NOT needed this time? My understanding was that doing the 50,000 trade credit was once per character and after doing step 1 in any additional professions will now take you directly to step 3 instead?

Can someone clarify this please.
Thanks much.

There are issues with the new masterworks . I myself have done the alchemy stuff . I have been credited for the 4 commissioned pieces . I crafted the draught piece , but was unable to turn it in to the groundskeeper - just basic interaction commands .
I think that they have screwed it all up as we should be able to completely get level 5 in any individual MW crafting , but at the moment it looks like we need to get ALL level 4 crafting done and then maybe get a level 5 complete .
Requires a DEV to com back and clarify what / how it is supposed to work .
There is another couple of postings about level4 / 5 problems with MW crafting .

Also once you craft the commissioned piece and turn it in for credit it , disappears from the list so I assume you can only craft it a single time for credit .

scratch last comment about it disappearing from the list . Rechecked and they are still there . Must've had a brain HAMSTER or something .

What do you mean by this? After completing step 1 and turned in your 3 items, you get 4 recipes for commissioned items. You then have to craft enough of these 4 items to get to the 50,000 trade credit for turning them in....is that correct?

That's what I am now attempting to do . originally I thought that the turned in recipes had disappeared from the list and that crafting them would no longer give any credit ( towards the 50K quest line ) .
But as the special quest for the groundskeeper ( the draught ) was showing available , I crafted that expecting that it would then give me the level 5 crafting recipes but there is no apparent way at the moment to get credit for this item .
If it is tied to the 50K quest then it should have been documented somewhere within the quest line .

I used to play this game years ago on PC but I did not like using a controller. I am a current PS4 player I would like to know the list of the items required to complete Mastercraft 4. I don t have much on PC I do have a couple of superior enchanting stones. If you PM me the info I will trade them to you.

The problem I'm having is, that even though I've completed 'Fizz Fizz Bang Bang (Alchemy)' and 'Taking Credit' (the 50k quest) the quest to make and turn in the Maple Rot Draught is simply not available. I've even gone so far as to make the draught just to see if that would somehow trigger it, no luck.

I've contacted support and they refuse to help in any way.

This is correct. Technically you could finish the tier IV quest for multiple professions and make commissioned items from multiple professions at once. Either way you must only complete the quest "Taking Credit" to earn 50,000 Chultan trade credit once.

There are currently a few known issues with masterwork, involving Alchemy and also involving creating the final quest's legendary item before being asked to create it:

So I complete the MW Alchemy IV quest. I completed the 50,000 credits task. Then nothing.

No new quest anywhere to get MW Alchemy V recipes. I went ahead and bought the Chult Alembic and even went so far as to create the Maple Rot Draught just to see if that would trigger something, still nothing.

Anyone has any info that can steer me in the right direction?

Thank you very much for the report.

We are currently aware of an issue where the quest "The Root of the Problem" (for tier V masterwork alchemy) will not become available if the player has any other masterwork quests accepted, in any tier. In the meantime, it should be possible to circumvent this issue by dropping all other masterwork quests, unfortunately, if you have any partial progress on those quests, you would have to lose that progress in order to utilize this workaround.

Originally tier IV and V masterwork quests were slated to be subject to the same restrictions as tier I and II, meaning you could only progress one profession at a time. That restriction was removed, but unfortunately, a data error caused that lock to remain behind on the alchemy quest.

During our investigation of this issue we also noticed that final legendary quest items created before accepting the corresponding quest may not count towards completion. If you have not yet made the final turn in item, I would advise that you wait until you have accepted the quest. If you are stuck on the quest and have the item in your inventory and it has failed to recognize it, you may create another or wait for the fix at which time the quest will properly register the item.

We are working to have the fix in for these problems as soon as possible, and apologize for the tremendous inconvenience these issues are causing.

OK, quick question now that the masterwork 4 quests seem to work again:
I got Alchemy to the point with the 50 000 credit points and as it was said before, I have to finish this quest once and it should be seen as completed for other professions aswell. But do i have to get the other professions already done to this level, too, by the time i turn in the 50 000 credit quest (for Alchemy) or is it also OK to get to this point on other professions later on and it still gets recognized as finished for them?
Meaning: On other porfessions I just finished masterwork 3 (or im not even there with a few), so I dont have the 50k credit quests on these professions yet. If I finish the Alchemy-one and turn it in while i dont have the quest from other profs, will it later be still finished instantly once i get to that point or do i have to do 50k again for them?

I think it's once ever.
