Acquiring recipes from other continents....

[Drek]

If anyone has done this yet, please explain to me how you go about acquiring recipes from the other continents.

I can't find any relevant conversation, WOs or quests.
But maybe I am missing something.

ohhh this is a definite pain in the arse. as my real life friend wanted to be a cleric (and I was already a halfelf druid from kojan) he had the choice of a goblin on my continent (still bad faction) or one from elsewhere. this class restriction in my opinion damages the crafting aspect. He can't come to kojan, I can't go to leth nurae (where he is) due to the fact that as we level in our tradeskills we'd have to go cross continent just to get the recipes. while I can understand that thestra has thestran style, kojan; kojan style. But still has to be some feasible way to not have such a heavy class restriction penalty on crafting for just choosing your preferred class to suit playing with a friend. On this note, I'd love to know if there is any way to learn them =\..

From what I have read, the first thing you need to do is get your faction high enough with the continent as a whole and one of the crafting communities there. Then you should find someone to teach you the style. That leads you to be able to use their trainers for local recipes.

So is it a combination of city faction as well as crafting faction?

I'd really love to know. Too many Raki's in a small area start to make my allergies go.

I believe the way it works is as follows

Go to the continent you want to learn from and find a Work order supplier.

Do W/O's until your crafting faction is 100+ at 100 you should be able to get a quest from the recipe trainer to speak to various craft masters around that continent, once you have done this they will agree to teach you Tier 1 recipes.

Repeat for each tier you wish to learn. Not sure if a quest is required at each new tier but i expect so.

Each Tier requires another 100 faction, so crafting 200 single item w/o's would qualify you for Tier 2 as you get 1 point per w/o.

I've done it, here's how it works:

First, you have to figure out which Master/Instructor from your class gives the quest, there are some posts floating around that have some good info, one over at vanguardcrafters.com is pretty informative.

Once you get the quest, you have to talk to 3 different Master/Instructors in 3 different cities. For Qualia it was Khal, Hathor Zhi (KoS to nearly everyone) and Mekalia. You will also be required to craft 3 items, all were easy for me (23 Blacksmith). Once you have completed the 4 steps, go back to the original questgiver, in my case a fella in Ahgram, and you will now have the ability to learn recipes of that continent.

Now you will have to do the Tier quests as well, to get the higher level recipes, which at 21 usually means a trip to a nice little KoS area, have fun!

Now you have to build the faction to get the Instructor to give you the recipes. In Ahgram there are 3 separate guilds, the Cabal, the Merchants Guild and the Society of Invention, that have work orders available that give 10 faction each. However, they aren't easy work orders by any means, the easiest one was moderate for me. You only have to get 1 item in the WO to D to turn it in for credit, so don't go overboard on them, because if you fail it takes 10 faction away.

Your other option is to find an outpost where you are trying to build faction and grind work orders there. I haven't tried this yet, but I have heard that you get more than 1pt of faction per wo at an outpost, if anyone knows for sure, please confirm this.

Once you have 100 Crafting faction with the city you are in you can get recipes from the Instructor. I think you have to do this with each city because the faction is broken down that way, again I haven't confirmed this. The best bet would be to get your faction up in Khal since the boats will be going there, Ahgram is a bit of a run, I just did it there because that's where the quest starts.

Hope this helps

Happy Crafting!
