Leadership path broken

I just got lv 15 Leadership and the ability to "Train Adventurer" But to do that it requires 4 Man at Arms. I do not have the ability to make man-at Arms. I just have footman. So obviously the man at arm button is missing from the Leadership tree.

If you never opened a box, or got unlucky, you might only ever have the white quality Mercenary, Guard and Footman assets. Those don't seem to be upgradable to the green quality ever.
In any event, I do know for certain you can buy the man-at-arms on the auction for 19,000 astral diamonds on dragon shard. So you really don't need zen.
Yes, the lockboxes have a pack that has leadership assets. You cannot get them just from profession tasks.
It's not broken. It's working exactly as intended. Every man-at-arms comes from a player purchase except those that are farmed from the graveyard quest.
pay to Win OMG.. I Quit.
Buhbye then.
2 things:
1. You can buy man at arms from the AH. They run between 18K and 25K buyout each on my server. You don't have to spend any Zen.
2. While they are very nice, you do not need any of the green, blue or purple assets. A rank 3 footman (white quality) can be used for any and all leadership tasks. Same with the "worn" quality tools sold in the profession shop.
someone ban this muppet
Hopefully also his game account so he can't swap it
Please stop quoting him or the forum ignore is pointless.
User CP -> Edit Ignore List
And don't forget to punish the muppets who QUOTE HIM IN FULL so that even when the poster is banned you still have to see his trash because of people that QUOTE HIM IN FULL.
What games?
MMOs by nature, and their crafting systems by extension, tend to be grindy in my experience.
The system in this game is actually feels like much less of a grind than most, to me, because you don't have to sit there and keep repeating 5-10 second jobs a hundred thousand times. You just set a bunch of jobs that last 1+ hours and go about your business. Once they're done, you swap in a new job and off you go again. You gain profession levels whenever you do; there's really not much effort or grind on your part required... your slaves, er, "assets" do the grinding for you.
Does it take time? Sure. But not much of your time. It's not like you have to sit there and watch the progress bars...
Anyway, on topic: You don't need the green/blue/purple workers for anything. You can craft everything there is to craft without them. All they do is provide a bigger speed boost, making the jobs complete faster. That said, the green ones are very cheap on the AH and quite worth it. They act like white tier 3 workers in the sense that they can do any job, but do it faster than the white ones.
In other MMOs I can buy (with in-game money) a lot more space than the crafting inventory. It certainly beats not having a separate crafting inventory but that's it.
In fact, I also wish they had a separate tab for pots and consumables, a'la The Witcher.
The Asset bag has 180 slots, which once again should cover any non-hoarding scenario. (non-hoarding) Leadership should take at most 50 slots, 18 for soldiers and 18 for assets if you want to use all 9 task slots for Leadership w. speed boost (after you've unlocked them of course), with a bit of wiggle room for soldiers needing upgrades to higher quality/rank. And you should have enough space to fit in a decent amount of tools and assets for each of the other 4 professions, though not enough to be able to fill out all 9 slots with just one type for all 4.
Well, most MMOs I've played extensively had either item sorting or placed items in certain bags depending on the type or allowed addons that could do that.
Don't forget collectables and enchants.
I spent about a year in DDO, and all the crafting materials and bouncing between various bags and figuring out what bag takes what and which materials are bound etc. was AWFUL.
Backtrack even more to RF online - half the bank and usually 1-2 inventory tabs constantly filled with ore, shards, upgrade stones yada yada yada. 3x worse if you play the crafting class. Sorting that <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> by hand took waaaay too much time for my liking.
Is that right?
The game tells you that you need a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 worker to work a task. For Leadership, this corresponds to Mercenary, Guard and Footman. These are all White / "Common" quality and available entirely without involvement of the cash shop in any way. Purely ingame. You can "craft" them yourself without anything or anybody's help or intervention. You can work all jobs in Leadership with just these three types of soldiers.
In addition to that, but separate from it, there are also Green, Blue and Purple soldiers. For Leadership, they are called Man-At-Arms, Adventurer and Hero. All three of them are Tier 3 workers just like the Footman. They can do anything a Footman can, and a Footman can do anything they can. The only difference is the speed modifier on them. Footman performs tasks with a 5% speed boost (just like all White workers). The Green, Blue and Purple workers have a 10%, 25% and 50% speed boost, respectively.
Note that the percentages are not straight time reduction... the formula works like this: Time to complete task = Base Task Time / (1 + p), where p is the sum of the percentages of all workers involved in decimal form. So the 50% speed boost on the Purple worker will actually only reduce the task time to about 67% (two thirds time), rather than down to 50% (half time), and only if he's the only worker (some jobs can use up to 4 workers). Basically, it's a diminishing returns system... the bigger the reduction, the less effect per % point.
Edit: To answer your question: No, the game is not lying to you. You merely misunderstood "Tier" to mean "Quality/Color". They are two different things entirely.
No. Asset requirements are never specified by name. They are specified by types, which are listed on assets. Resource requirements are specified by name (and sometimes assets are used as resources, specifically the upgrade tasks).
For example, a low level Leadership mission requires an asset with the types "Person", "Leadership", and "Level 1", which all leadership people have.
High level Leadership missions require an asset with the types "Person", "Leadership", and "Level 3", which the Footman and all Uncommon or better leadership people have. They also require an asset with type "Infantry Weapon" and one with type "Infantry Armor", which both the vendor-purchased white ones and the green ones have.
Not broken, just encouraging you to visit the Zen store. You do realize that Neverwinter is funded by $$MONEY$$ and not donations right? I don't get why people get so upset when asked for money playing a "free-to-play" MMORPG then turn around and drop $60 on a new game without hesitation...
I refuse to pay money for in-game advantage, and dislike it when games provide that option.
I have no problem paying money to be gain access to a game.
Paying $60 to "win" in a game is different than paying $60 to be able to play the game.
You don't pay $60 to "win" you only pay money to speed through the processes that can ALL be gained using in-game systems such as the Astral Diamond to Zen exchange, etc. Check the auction house and I am sure you will find most if not ALL of the Zen market items available to be purchased with in-game AD currency.
Gaining those things through in-game means would be playing to "win" them. Paying for them with cash is paying to "win" them instead. You're not speeding some process up (like a +% XP boost would); you're entirely obviating that process.
"Win" also refers to the added in-game power paying cash provides, which in turn increases the probability of winning quests, dungeons, and PvP matches. Paying cash for power thus purchases a portion of each of those wins.
You need to pay cash (Zen shop) or buy from the auction house to turn the Men-At-Arms (cash shop only item) into the next higher tier.
