I'll love it as soon as we figure out how to rework the NextCraftingStage CreatePrototype macro


Anyone know it yet? It better be implemented, because if its not...*shakes fist menacingly*

Even when you practice, it still locks up the crafting tool for the same amount of time (little numbers on the icon count down) and you still get the message 'please wait while the crafting station produces the finished prototype'.


I think the message should be considered a bug.

Tabor, its right after you actually craft the item. It goes to another screen and at the bottom left corner it says practice mode, or something to that nature.

I believe you guys are missing the intention of this patch. I believe the intention is so that the grinders, instead of giving away the Bone Armor that newbie Artisans would love to sell, will rather opt for the 5% practice exp than the very little amount of Usage EXP they would get by giving it away. I believe that was the really intention of this patch, to stop the grinder 'powergamers' from ruining the casual gamers economy. Just me 2 credits.

It works better than well. Base MSE droids are giving my 175 DCXP in practice mode and multiperson camp kits are giving me 62.


That comes out to 25% for me.

No reason everyone shouldn't hit their elite professions now: You get MORE exp and you don't have to take the 2 seconds to delete the item from your inventory! I do hope we have less items flooded on the market, which it probably will succeed in, so it can't be all bad I suppose.

I hate practice crafting. You know why? It was sony's excuse to nerf factory experience down to 10% per item made. Nice of you guys to bother mentioning it in the patch notes too, thanks a heap.


Don't go breaking your arms patting sony on a job well done here. They did it to try and gloss over the fact that they just delivered yet another huge nerf to crafting professions, since, you know, factories are REQUIRED to make high level items. *claps* Bravo.

It may be a relatively small return on your grinding efforts, but is a great improvement to get any bonus xp and not have to delete the item

I'd like it if i could get it to work. I have tried rebooting. I have tried ful file scan. I have even tried one of the CSR's suggestion to get a new craftin tool. Nothing works. I /bug'd it and got the response "Make sure you have the check in the box." I check the box and hit practice but nothing happens. Anybody else had this experience?

let me clarify. i check the box and push the button and the button goes white then goes back blue but then nothing happens. No xp, and the window stays open. Really frustrating.
