Masterwork 2. Jewelry

Hey all
I’m struggling on completing this task. You need to craft 6 gold ingots from 18 gold nuggets. You need to use 2 gold ore and get a tier 3 result to get a nugget, but even with an epic tool in every slot I can I only get a 20% chance of making a nugget, let alone an ingot. Is there a trick I’m missing to get that % higher? Thanks for looking.

    Most people that do Master Crafting will only attempt it after they have a mythic level Forgehammer of Gond so they have one mythic rank tool.

    PS a little often undiscussed issue is don't upgrade Mastercraft resources with your professional ASSETS that's pure CRAZINESS!

    If your trying to upgrade Purple Mastercraft Resources to the Tier of Purple items make sure you use the temporary merchants in an alliance GUILD. The reason for this is in the following example: A Temporary Gold Smith for example allows you to buy various common or uncommon resources, but on the second tab you can also exchange materials for a few extra guild marks. At a Goldsmith Temporary Merchant 4 Gold Ore can be traded for a Gold Nugget if you have unlocked Mastercraft I profession. Now even with the common Mastercraft tool & 3 Mithral ones it only gives a 20% upgrade chances in the profession itself. It be crazy with only a 20% chance to get a Nugget to sacrifice your Gold Ore so go to the merchant and spend 200 more guild marks. Temporary merchants always provide the item (4 of one get 1 of the other) but you spend a few more guild marks in doing so; can be anywhere from 200-600 guild marks depending on the item you need. Might go slightly higher as Mastercraft III-V resources may be added &/or expanded in future.

    Hope some of that is HELPFUL from a PC Player to help you XBOX players get more into Mastercraft. Honestly I wish they slightly REDUCE the requirements for being successfully into Mastercraft 2, but I understand it used to be higher at least for the resources before they then reduced it. Now you don't even really have the chance to use prof to upgrade resources only Temporary Merchants...

    Our guild alliance has all the professional vendors spread across them. So how does that work? I am not understanding your explanation.

    Once you, or a friend or guildmate, reach MW1 in any profession, you can buy most of the items you need from the vendors and then use or trade for them. The cost is usually the same items used to craft and 200 to 800 guildmarks. Since you are buying, not crafting, it is a 100% success rate. In my guild, I'm happy to purchase them for others for the materials used and then for paying for the guildmarks part, I ask for items on the second tab of a vendor equal to the guildmark cost of the item requested.

    Using this system after reaching MW1, often the only item you need to craft is the final item to reach MW2. The key is having all 8 crafts covered within the guild/alliance at MW1 to use this method and players willing to assist for no profit. Alas, some may want some form of profit for the time/effort.

    Omg that was so much easier than actually crafting the materials. Thank you all for sharing.

    It sure is, but does require a fair amount of guildmarks. I craft many jewery crates to keep a steady flow of guildmarks. Someone always needs gems donated and they have a very good return for the cost.

    It can be - but you can also save Influence, Shard's, and Purple/Blue Vouchers for double guild marks. Most of those items either stack 999x or 99x high - just be sure you let your guild leader know your saving them up to donate for events; but perhaps donate any common or green voucher's you get from HE or taking down enemy in stronghold in the mean while, then at least your still donating something in the mean time.

    Then you can earn more guild marks but be careful to only donate enough to get 30,000 then you have to buy or upgrade resources before donating more to the coffer. :)

    It may not be the most effective but I’ve found donating grandmasters to the labor coffer to generate marks. They recently went up in price but I used to be able to get 30k marks for around 40-50k AD

    The price will likely drop next mod. That said...

    If you get to be in a higher level guild or you guilds gets above level 10 or so, you will find that it is almost impossible to donate labor. It is the first thing to get to max in the coffer and stays there except for brief times after building for most guilds. Most guilds in an alliance block incoming labor from other guilds due to this issue. So, for now it may work for you, but eventually you will need another source. We have trouble just making room for the vouchers our members get from SH quests and weekly Dragonflight. Sometimes I build a temp structure that uses labor just to make room.

    Bug introduced with last week's patch. It is impossible to complete any MW 4 task. There are several threads on the issue and you should go to one of them for more info.
